Fallen Stars

Chapter 78:The Torture

Harry-

We're all shackled together with red handcuffs. Inside the van with me, is Asott, Haydley, and Reese. There are two Nitaves across from us, ray guns in their hands. Our weapons were placed into separate vans. The semi-trailer truck containing the Mikens is being driven by a weaker, thin Nitave.

Will is somewhere within the city, he's the only Miken who wasn't captured. London and Cole's Miken was tortured and killed for fun. The Miken died after one hour of gruesome torture. The Nitaves even recorded the torture and showed it to us. London cried for a few minutes when she saw the video, then she glared and clenched her fists in anger.

"I planned on torturing at least three of you, tonight," One of the Nitaves says, rising from his bench and stepping towards Haydley."You have a pretty face, how about I cut it up?"

Haydley whimpers as the Nitave pulls out a dagger. He slices both of her cheeks, then pulls on one of her eyebrows. He trims it with the dagger, then Haydley starts to cry as he stabs her in the arm. Asott is shaking in extreme anger, he glares furiously at the torturer.

For the next couple of minutes, the Nitave tortures Haydley. It all ends when he slits her throat, then she becomes unconscious. Asott is breathing heavily and his face is flushed from rage. He has his teeth gritted and is growling like an animal.

"Looks like the girl is dead," The Nitave says after a few minutes, studying Haydley's motionless body. Asott sees this and releases a shout of rage and frustration."I think the blind one should be next. He can't see a thing now that their powers have been taken away."

Reese raises his head, an expression of anger on his face.

"Sit down! If you torture him, then he would die of bloodloss. Sharkutt wants them alive." The seated Nitave tells the torturer Nitave. The torturer nods and sits back down. Asott keeps the glare on his face.

Lucy-

The Nitaves keep me and Acrosin contained in the back of a van. A Nitave watches over us, making sure we do not escape. I know they think of me as pathetic. I've gotten older, I'm thirteen years old now and I shouldn't be considered weak.

"I hope Harry's okay." I tell Acrosin.

"Yeah, hopefully." He says, taking my hand and grasping it affectionately. I smile at him. The van suddenly comes to a stop. The double doors open after awhile, then two Nitaves grab me and Acrosin. We're thrown outside and I land on the hard gravel.

I see the others also being unloaded. The corpse of Haydley is also thrown outside a van, it looks like they tortured her to death. Asott glares at a Nitave with a mustache, who must have watched over him.

"I'm going to kill you." Asott says to the Nitave with the mustache, his voice filled with rage.

I turn and face the Nitave base. It's a white building the size of a football field with jagged spikes on the roof. It isn't very impressive. Me and my housemates are led inside the building. It's dimly lit with orange lights and brown walls. It's like a metal cave.

All of us are forced into a gray, stone room with a brick floor. We're chained to the wall with the same material as our handcuffs.

"I thought we were being transported to Australia." Jace says.

"Sharkutt changed his mind. He wants to meet you all here," The mustached Nitave tells him."He's going to kill you all, right after he tortures you."
