Tortured Soul

Chapter 3

(Max's POV)

"How are we going to tell the others?" I asked Barney.

"I think they should see for themselves." Barney said.

"No. That's not a good idea." The nurse said.

"Why?" I asked.

"It might cause a panic attack." The nurse said.

"Okay. What if they saw a recording?" I asked.

"Maybe but you will have to hide the camera from him." The nurse said.

"I'll try. Can you bring Adam and the others over here Barney?" I asked.

Barney nodded and left. The nurse went with him. I stood at the door and looked at it. How could this have happened? Why did this happen?

(Few minutes later)

I turned the phone recording on and put my phone in my shirt pocket. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Jacob?" I called out.

"No, Max please. Stop doing this. I know you didn't earlier but I know you will soon." Jacob said.

"Jacob. I won't hurt you. I promise." I said.

"But you did. You raped me Max. You raped me time and time again trying different things each time. Different ways to inflict pain to me. Different ways to make me want to kill myself. Well they worked, I'm hurt, and I want to kill myself." Jacob explained.

I held back tears. "We can get through this together. You just have to realize this IS real. That I am the real Max. That I would never hurt you."

(Jacob's POV)

Could it be true? Am I saved? Is this really Max? Wait. What's that in his shirt pocket? Is that... A phone camera!?

(!)

I laid on the floor crying. Why would Max do that to me? Why would he rape me? My body hurt from what Max did to me, the whippings and... What I want to forget forever.

I laid there for what seemed to be hours. Until I head footsteps come closer.

"No. Please stop." I said in defeat.

"Time for another test." Josh said.

Once he got closer I hit the needle out of his hand which caused it to break when it hit the ground. Josh didn't like that at all. He began furiously beating me, whipping me, and cutting me.

I laid on the ground weak and defeated.

"Now," Josh said panting, "the next tests."

Josh injected me with three doses making me start shaking. He laughed and left once again. It didn't take long for me to black out.

When I came to I felt something cold on my chest. I opened my eyes and saw Max.

"Wakey Wakey." Max said.

"Wha-? What are you doing?" I asked.

"Deciding where I should brand you." Max said moving the brand around on my body. "Should it be on your chest? Or on your back? Your arm? Or your leg? Oh I know... On your ass."

"Max! Please don't do this!" I screamed.

"Oh I can and I will. And to make things fun. I'll record this." Max said.

Max pulled his phone out of his pocket and pushed record. He placed it in his shirt pocket and walked away.

Once he came back the brand was a bright red from the heat. Panic rose up inside me as I tried to resist in any way I could. Max kicked me which made me fall in my stomach.

"Three. Two. One." Max said menacingly.

(!)

"No. I'm still here. I'm still captured!" I said panicked.

"Jacob you aren't captured." Max said taking a step towards me.

"No! Get away from me! You already have enough recordings of me when you raped, abused, and branded me! Why another one! Just stay away from me!" I screamed.

(Max's POV)

Jacob began to hyperventilate badly. I tried to help but a nurse walked in and grabbed me dragging me out to the others.

"What was that about?" Adam asked from the hallway.

I turned and saw Barney guiding the others over here. I grabbed my phone and stopped the recording. I went on the recently taken and handed it to Adam for him and the others to watch.
