(A/N: there might be gruesome descriptions. BEWARE!)

Tortured was just an understatement.

His hands were both tied behind his body. His tall figure leaned forward, unable to balance on his own.

Blood was splattered everywhere on his body, staining his shirt and jeans. His hair was matted on top of his head, and it was wet. I stood in horror as I looked at his face.

His once clean and handsome face.

His right eye was bruised. His cheeks, once pink in colour, was covered in cuts and more bruises. His lips was cut too, and burn marks littered everywhere on his body. Lash marks was seen on his arms and legs.

It was horrible.

I couldn't take it anymore. My legs felt like jelly, and I collapsed.

"Lachlan... No..." I whimpered. He cannot be caught!

Was I dreaming? I pinched myself on the arm, only to yelp in pain. I'm not dreaming.

I'm not dreaming.

Lachlan was caught. And he's in heaven.

Which means I'm in big trouble.

"What's this?" The middle guy demanded, looking at me with anger in his eyes. Unfortunately, I was too concentrated on Lachlan's condition to speak, so the villain started talking.

"You see. I was asking Rob to... how do I put it, ah, follow Vikk. I became suspicious of his actions, and I ended up finding him with Lachlan! Vikk was lying! To all of us!" His voice level increased at the end. The council's eyes widened.

"How dare you lie to us?!" one of them roared. I flinched a little. "And also with that scumbag!"

"He is not a scumbag!" Suddenly courage fueled my rage, making me shout at them. "I like him! No, I LOVE him!" Words spilled out of my mouth without realising what I've said.

By the time I calmed down, Lachlan was staring at me like I was crazy, and I was blushing like mad. However, the councils certainly did not enjoy that.

"You love him? LOVE HIM? THIS IS SO WRONG! YOU SHOULDN'T BE LOVING HIM! AND HE IS THE SAME GENDER AS YOU! THIS IS THE WORST CRIME THAT YOU HAD COMMITED!" Preston yelled at me.

"You shall be punished!"one of the councils declared. I mentally face palmed. I was so so stupid.

"No... No... Don't take Lachlan away from me," I mumbled, but it was too soft for them to hear.

They took out something that I saw in my dream.

The lightning rod.

And instead of Preston holding it...

It was Ashley.

What did I just do...

OMG. I'm so cruel.
