Inside Furnace

Chaper 3

The van made it's way roughly to the prison, to the place where I would spend eternity. I haven't said this yet but my powers are based on blood flow, so every injury I take will just heal unless that injury punctures my heart or disables the function of my brain. As the guards pulled me out of the van I looked up and seen the prison, it looked just as it did on the news, a horrifying towering sculpture of dark stone, bent and scarred like it was burned into existence, and it's just the way in, the towering windowless building stretched upward, it's body merging with a crooked spire that resembled a finger beckoning forward. Smoke rising from a chimney hidden behind the building that looks like a cloud of poison breath waiting to engulf anyone that enters. I also realized that the sun was shining bright as ever, I could feel the warmth of the sun as it's warm luxurious rays beam down on my back, I smiled a bit remembering when I used to run around in the park with my children, I would chase them far and wide around the park, it always seemed like they had an endless amount of energy. Fading back into reality I realized that we were in a elevator, the sun seemed to get warmer and warmer on my skin as the main doors closed slowly and loudly, they sounded like nails on a chalkboard. I looked directly at the warm sun as the doors closed, hiding the sun from existence.

As the elevator went down my fear grew more and more, I felt as if I was going almost insane, there was barely any light as we reached the depths below. The guards dragged me as I looked around, there were a bunch of cells, each spread apart far enough so they can't hear each other, as I was dragged by each cell I heard people begging for mercy and just pleading to be released. I looked around at the walls, blood, feces, and rust covered the walls. The guards finally got to my cell, they threw me in with enough force to break my leg. I laid on the ground for about 15 minutes until my powers healed me, I got up slowly to look at my small cell, just enough for one person to fit in.

~this is where I'm going to spend eternity,~ I thought ~this is my new life, and this will be my life forever.~ I couldn't get over the fact that this is where I would be spending eternity.

After a few hours of sitting there in my own thoughts, a guard came in. The guard looked at me with his soulless silver eyes staring directly into my soul, practically showing me all my fears. The guard grabbed me by my arms and took me to a room that I had never seen before. There was a chair in the center of the room, the guard dragged me to the chair and forced me to sit in the chair where he restrained my wrists and legs. It was clear then that there was a table beside the chair, and it had all these syringes and other stuff that looked like was used for torture. My eyes widened in fear as the guard picked up the syringe and put it in my arm slowly. I could feel the burning of the syringe in my blood, my powers were trying to push the syringe out. The guard then started taking my blood. I watched as my light blue electric like blood flowed into the syringe as I cringed in pain. He took out the syringe and quickly put another one in. He kept taking my blood until I was pale.

He then took me back to my cell and threw me inside. I sat there in pain, wondering when this torture would end, when I could go back to my family and friends, I sat there as my powers focused on bringing my blood back, I knew this was my fate, I knew this is where I was to spend eternity, but I was still wondering when my friends would come and break me out.

"they have to come," I told myself "they wouldn't just leave me here in this hell hole would they?"

The next day all the prisoners stood in line as the warden addressed them for who and what they were. He eventually got to me,

"James," He said "you have murdered, killed, a person of innocence, you're a disgrace to the human race, you don't deserve to be on this earth, none of you do, which is why we show you your punishment our way, we will make you weak before we torture you, so weak that you'll feel like you should be dead. I hope your family and friends hate you for what you've done."

I looked at the warden, anger was surging through me, I could feel my powers surging through me with each huff I gave, I seen my arms surge with electricity very slightly but they were surging with it. The prisoners backed up away from me. The warden noticed this and looked at the guard beside him, the guard quickly dragged me away, I fought against him, flailing and thrashing around, but he was too strong. He dragged me to the back room as he did before, he drained my blood like he did before but this time after he was done he got me in a corner and slowly took out a knife, fear soon enveloped in my eyes and body, fear overwhelmed me as he slowly walked towards me. He stabbed me, I could feel the cold knife as he shoved it into my skin, blood leaked from the wound, he yanked the knife out of me, I could see the blue electric blood shoot out of me and splatter onto the wall. He stabbed me again, more blood leaked from my skin as the knife dove it's way into my chest almost reaching my heart. He kept stabbing me for a total of twenty minutes nonstop until finally, he grew tired of stabbing me, Then he took a cup and let the blood from the knife flow down and into the cup, eventually he gathered enough of my blood to fill the cup. He slowly brought it towards me, I looked away knowing what he was going to do but I couldn't prevent it because I was so weak. He forced my mouth open and poured my blood in my mouth then held my mouth and nose closed so that I would have to swallow it. I swallowed and felt the warmth of my blood run down my throat down into my stomach, my stomach growled in dissatisfaction.

The guard then dragged me back to the cafeteria where I sat traumatized, wondering when my friends would get here. I hoped and prayed everyday that they would come and save me, I couldn't take one more minute of this hellhole. I got up from my seat and looked around the cafeteria, I looked desperately for a way out of this prison but couldn't find a way out.
~if I can't find a way out then how are my friends going to get me out?~ I thought.

A guard quickly caught on to what I was trying to do, he walked over to me and punched me so hard that I got knocked out. When I woke I found myself in my cell, I felt something on my neck but couldn't really make out what it was, it felt like metal, I felt it as the cold heartless metal sent chills down my spine. I looked in the mirror and seen a black collar with metal circles all around it on me. ~w-what the h-hell is t-this?!~ I thought.

"It's a collar" a guard said seeming to have heard my thoughts. "Now anytime that you don't listen to the warden this collar is built in with spikes that will slowly impale your neck, I also wouldn't try getting it off if I were you that will cause the spikes to slowly impale you as we'll and It can't be deactivated, now get some sleep, we have something very special for you in the morning." The guard finished with a sadistic smirk, the same smirk as when they came for me, the same smirk as when they ripped me from Amaterasu's arms, I slowly filled with rage but couldn't do anything because my blood was drained and I was extremely weak, even now my knees are shaking, I feel like I'm going to fall over. The guard walked away, leaving me in pitch black darkness. I stood there in front of the mirror and started crying, not because I hate it here, not because I'll never see sunlight again, I cried because I would never see my friends again, to be isolated in a place months on end and the only emotion to feel is pain and sadness is possibly the worst thing I've ever experienced. I then lie on the cold hard ground and curl up into a ball and cried, just hoping that my friends would come and save me and just hoping that I would see them again.
