 “hope is the thing with feathers 

that perches in the soul 

and sings the tune without the words 

and never stops at all.”

MY HEART began beating a million miles a minute. I was beyond pissed that he would even attempt to anger the guards, because they were not happy at all. 

They took him out, although two guards did not hesitate yanking me by my corner and pulling me to where they were putting Harry. 

They made me wait outside a door for a few minutes before dragging me in.

"Well well well," a guy dressed in a perfectly smooth suit, his golden locks smoothed back perfectly. He wasn't a guard for sure, but something about him showed me that he was in fact; worst. 

Two guards brought in Harry from the back of the room, and he was in nothing but his boxer briefs. I immediately felt my cheeks get hot from the lack of clothing but I focused on what the guards were doing. They tied his right foot to a metal bed's leg and his left foot tied to the other bed's leg. 

"So I will be asking you a few things, my dear," he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. 

"Every time you hesitate," he paused and pointed at his guards and they immediately pulled both beds apart slightly, causing Harry to gasp in pain as he was in a 'splits' position. 

"I will do that. Every time you lie, though," with a snap of his fingers, one of the guards brought a large black stick. The man pushed a button and sparks of electricity came out from the tip of the stick. 

"I think you understand the consequences now, my dear," his lips curled into a smile. He seemed particularly young, probably in his early twenties. He had deep caramel eyes that sparkled with mischief. 

I swallowed a lump in my throat and nodded.

"What's your name?" he asked.

I paused for a bit, afraid to speak, but he quickly snapped his fingers and the bed was pulled back, letting Harry yell in pain.

"Ocean! It's Ocean!" 

"Ocean. A beautiful name for a beautiful lady. Check if the lie detectors are working before we begin."

"They are working, Commander." a guard replied. The commander nodded his head in compliance and authorization before turning to look at me.
