TRIGGER WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER CONTAINS TORTURE AND GORE! IF YOU ARE NOT OKAY WITH THIS TYPE OF STUFF DO NOT READ THIS CHAPTER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

EMILY'S POV

I don't know how long I've been here but it feels like at least a week or two. They've been doing whatever they can think of to brake me. They come in every hour to beat me and re-apply the vervain to my iron shackles. Whoever these guys were they were not vampires, the iron and vervain wasn't hurting them. So whatever they were they were well prepared, I hate it when they're smart. When they gave me blood it was few and far between. The only thing they weren't using as a torture device was the sun and for that I was extremely grateful. In all honesty I don't think I could survive if I was exposed to the sun.

"Are you ready to behave?" the man said in a mocking tone. He comes in everyday and asks the same question. I still haven't seen his face and that pisses me off to no end.

"Go to hell." I said. My voice was so scratchy due to the extensive damage the vervain has caused to my throat.

"Looks like we're going to have to change tactics." he said to the man standing off to my right.
The man nodded at took a iron rod and placed it in a flame to heat it. 

"Show your face you cowardly bitch!" I yelled to the best of my abilities.

"All in due time my dear."

The man then took out the know burning hot iron rod and brought it over to me. I glared at him knowing what was gonna happen. He just gave me a sadistic smirk before plunging the rod into my gut. When I opened my mouth to scream in pain a vervain soaked rag was shoved in my mouth. He took the rod but left the rag, and left me there.

*TIME SKIP*

As the days passed they were getting more and more creative with their torture methods. They would come in and take off my fingers and toes one at a time, and when there was none left they started to break every bone in my body while they waited for each appendage to grow back. They would force my eyes open and poor vervain water into my eyes until I couldn't see anymore. 

Each night I would try to contact Alex but I was getting to weak to connect to him. The first few days we could connect enough to know that we were both still alive but over time our connection grew weaker and weaker until it wasn't there anymore.

I pleaded with the moon goddess for both of him to be okay. I hoped that these assholes hadn't taken him too.

"Please, please, please, let Alex be safe and free. I beg you to keep him safe. If I never make it out of here I want to know that Alex is okay." I pleaded as a tear escaped my eye.

All of a sudden Alex's voice filled my mind. "Emily! Emily, can you hear me?!"

"Alex!?" 

"Emily where are you? Are you okay?" he asked.

"How did you reach me?"

"The Angel dorm directors are helping me out. Now where are you? Are you okay?" I was so happy that he was still at school.

"I'm fine, but i'm in some kind of dungeon. Whoever it is that took me aren't vampires."

"How do you know?" he asked.

"They're using vervain and Iron to keep me weak but it doesn't affect them."

I heard the door open once more as the men entered the room once more.

"Alex they're back."

"Okay we're gonna try something. I'm going to completely take over your mind for a little while. Afterward we are going to use what I see and hear to help locate you."

"Alex, trust me you don't want to do that."

"Are you ready to behave?" The man asked once more.

"LET ME GO YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I snapped back.

He made a clicking sound with his tongue like you would when you're scolding a child. "There is that dirty mouth again. We're gonna have to change that aren't we?"

A moment later I felt Alex take over my mind. I was still there, it was like I was a guest in my own mind. It was almost like I was having a out of body experience.

My mouth was once again forced open as they poured more vervain in my mouth. Only this time they forced me to swallow, causing the vervain to burn me from the inside out. 

And Alex felt it all.
