ENDLESS

S1 Chapter 25

Aria's POV

I couldn't do anything to stop what happened to Logan. And that fact in itself made me feel useless in this situation. But what made it worse was that I'm the reason that dragged my family into this. The people I love so dearly.

One of Logan's eyes opened slowly before he opened the other one, his face scrunching up in pain. He just laid there as if he couldn't move. 

''What..'' Logan croaked, staying still. It was if the pain is unbearable for him to move. 

This is all my fault.

If I had just done something, if I was just able to get out of these ropes, then Logan wouldn't have gotten beaten up. 

What did I even do? That's what I want to know. And what did my family do to get put in this situation along with me? 

I know they would say something like ''we stick together for everything'' but I can't let us stick together when it's like this. 

What the fuck does Hades even want me for? Did I do something to Dragon? It just doesn't make any sense. 

''Are you okay?!'' I heard Bridget ask Logan in a shaky voice. He just nodded briefly before groaning in pain.

''Shit.. even my voice hurts..'' Logan muttered.

I'm the cause of this.

I'm the reason Logan is like this,

Why Nate and Bridget are tied up,

And in the same walls I'm in. 

But I can't cry now. Even if I wanted to, I can't produce any tears. I really am heartless.

The girl from earlier walked in. She stared at us and I stared right back at her. From the corner of my eye, I could see Bridget death glaring her.

Logan peered up at her and he started trembling. Nate stared at her just like I was. 

Then all of the sudden, in a flash, the ropes around us split apart with a snap of her fingers. We all immediately stood up except for Logan. 

I felt my elemental power running through my veins now and just as I was about to use them, I couldn't feel anything at all. There was no more power. 

''What the..'' I heard Bridget mumble in frustration as she tried to surge power up. 

I looked down and realize that we were now in handcuffs. All four of us. The girl smirked at our slow realization. Don't tell me these handcuffs take away our power too?

''You.. fucking bitch!'' Bridget screamed at her.

''Bridget..'' Nate warned. She instantly stopped talking.

My head feels like it's pounding. It's almost like a heartbeat. But it's worse and painful.

''Come with me.'' The girl yanked the chains and pulled us along like we were kindergartners holding onto the rope and following the leader. 

We had no choice but to go with her, even Logan who could barely stand up properly. Bridget let him hold onto her for support. 

This girl brought us to a huge room with a bunch of cells. It looked like a prison. There were people in the cells too; they were screaming in agony and seemed as if they've been in here for years. 

All of these people.. Hades is this cruel?

She pulled us roughly into one of the cells and locked us inside. We all fell back onto the ground due to the sudden and harsh movement.
