Mitchell continues to stare back at me, with that quirky smirk on his face. Dex and Darkles by his side are reloading their laser weapons. The army of Dark ones are whispering among each other, again, with grins plastered across their hideous faces. Probably getting really excited that they're going to torture me and Josh to death. I just feel like exploding out of rage and then throwing Mitchell against a nice sturdy wall until he damages beyond repair. If he says I'm going to suffer, then I'll make sure he suffers not like hell, but 1000x more than how much humans suffered when the Dark ones came to Earth.

"YOU'RE WITH THEM?!!!" I scream on top of my lungs at Mitchell. He looks at me for a few seconds, then bowing his head down as if I hadn't said anything. Enraged beyond anything, I lunge for Mitchell, but one of the Dark ones behind me grabs me by my arms and gives me three hard hits on the head with the heel of a laser gun, and five punches on my stomach.

" TELL ME MITCHELL? WERE YOU WITH THE DARK ONES BEFORE OR AFTER I FOUND YOU?!!" I shout again, desperately trying to twist out of the Dark one's grip. But of course, this time I am thrown to the floor and punched hard in the face as a bunch of other Dark ones come to beat me up. As I am punched and kicked simultaneously by at least ten of those monsters, I can hear Josh scream at the Dark ones to stop but only a second later I can hear the sound of a taser gun and Josh screaming. My vision starts to turn blurry as I am hit with brute force with a crowbar on my stomach, chest and then my genitals. I get one more hit from the crowbar on my lungs until I can hear Darkles shouting at the them to stop. And obligingly, they do stop from beating me up.

"Bring both of them to me, NOW!" says Darkles, pointing at the Dark one closest to me. The Dark one closest to me, grabs me by my throat and dangles me over to Darkles. As far as I can tell, my face is full of blood, my nose is broken, I can hardly breathe after some many hits from the crowbar,I have some bleeding bruises and wounds on my stomach and chest and I am covered in dirt from being toppled to the dirty ground and beaten almost death. Another Dark ones walks up next to the one that's dangling me from my throat, and there he is, Josh who has a few bleeding bruises on his face as well, but his chest is red and his body is stiff and bone dry from so much electrocution.

"Bring them forward!" says Darkles quickly. The Dark ones bring both of us up to face Darkles as they both drop us to the ground to face him. I wince in pain as I hit my bruises with the ground.

"Okay, then! This is how it's going to work, we won't kill you just yet. First off, all of the Dark ones you can see around here, including Darkles and Dex will get a turn to rape Myra for three hours straight. While she is being raped, we will torture Josh in every way we can think of. And by some miracle, you two will still be alive by then, I guess we will drown Josh while we impale Myra's body on a stake. But don't worry, after we kill you, you will always be remembered as the last star crossed lovers on the planet. And we will also place your bodies in our art gallery. Who's with me?" says Mitchell as he raises his robot fist into the air. In response, the Dark ones start firing their guns into the air as they shout yes. Mitchell's head turns to me and says, "Your hiding and fighting is over Myra."

I spit into his face but then I feel a stab of pain in my right leg as Mitchell stabs me up to the handle of a combat knife in my leg, sinking the knife deeper for a couple more seconds before quickly removing it. " Take Josh to the torture chamber. Myra stays here. Remember, raping is outside, here in the courtyard, and torturing is in the torture chamber. Have fun!" and with that, Mitchell rolls away, disappearing behind of the thick smoke fogs. The courtyard starts to clear out as a group of Dark ones take Josh away. I try to scream to let him go, but since my vocal cords are damaged from beating and strangling, my cries are barely heard. I cannot even lift my arm up without going through a lot of pain. I watch awfully as the Dark ones take him away and disappear inside a dark tunnel, knowing there is nothing I can do for him in the condition I am in.
