Lost But Not Forgotten (Sequel to "A Strong Love")

NINETEEN

Screams of pain echoed through the dungeon that held y/n.

Y/n, rested on her knees with chains cuffed around her wrist.

Another scream escaped her lungs as she took another lashing to her back from the whip Haden held in her hand, and every time Y/n struggled a bit her chains would tighten.

Her shirt was stained with her own blood and skin practically torn apart. But she struggled to stay awake, she didn't want to pass out again. She didn't want to be told her time was running out. She didn't want to die helpless... Like her mother.

Y/n screamed out again accepting another whip but nothing came out, except for the tears that were running down her face. She bit her lip to keep from whimpering and she tried her best to accept the pain and to not move as much.

"Oh come on! The cries are what makes it worth my while," Haden laughs as she delivers another while to y/n's back.

"You won't break me..." Y/n whispers out.

Haden stops with her face blank and stands straight as if she's in a deep thought.

She sets the whip aside and walks to y/n's side, grabs her face with her right hand and brings her face to her own.

"I don't have to break you... Just kill you," Haden states with a straight face. 

She lets go if y/n's face, stands up and walks away.

"W-where are you going?" Y/n asks in confusion.

"To plan my sons wedding. Ashley is to be a beautiful bride," Haden speaks with amusement as she walks up a staircase and out the main doorway.

Immediately right after she leaves, a female servant walks in and rushes down the stairs with 2 others following her. They approach y/n and begin to clean her up.

"Can one of you untighten these chains please?" She asks but the servants ignore her.

Y/n blows out a breath of air, "Can't believe this happened to me..."

There's silence in the dungeon except for the echoes of sponges being put in and out of buckets of water and then being rung out.

The silence is broken with the door opens back up and a women with silver hair walks in with half of her head shaved off.

"What do you want Ashley?"

"Marshall still loves you, Y'know?"

Y/n whips her head up to see Ashley walking down the side stairs.

"W-what?"

Ashley reaches the bottom of the stair and by the wave of her hand the servants get up, bow their heads, and scurry off out the door.

"In his sleep last night he was saying your name..." Ashley states looking off into space.

Y/n just stares at Ashley.

"Y'know... I found out about you and Marshall first... Then I told his mom and she automatically wanted you out the picture cause you were human."
