*Back to Blinky- torture warning still applies. Also warning for mentions of past child abuse... sorry.*
Having grown bored of the taser, Dictatious had moved on to other instruments. Now he was using a spiked hammer, striking Blinky at his leisure. The blind troll circled Blinky as he struck him, and since he was chained he could nothing to stop it. His evil brother asked, as he had been for hours, "Brother, we can stop this anytime. As I have already told you, your caves are hidden from us, we were lucky to find you outside. Even so, it would be easy for us to find your refuge and slaughter all who we find inside. But you can stop this- I promise that if you tell me where the trollhunter lives, I will spare all the other members of your little rebellion." When Blinky stayed silence, Dictatious slammed the hammer down on one of his hands, causing Blinky to stifle a groan.
At last, the blue troll replied, "I will never tell you, no matter what you do to me or my friends. Besides" Blinky paused to spit at his brother's face, "You never keep your promises." Dictatious sighed and ran a finger along one of the spots he had whacked with the hammer, eliciting a brief moan, and whispered, "What if I told you that if you do not answer me, I will slowly torture your lover into insanity? Or maybe I will reduce him to a cripple, blinding him as you have done to me?" Blinky gasped and tried to attack his older sibling, only to be thwarted by the many chains.
"You wouldn't dare touch him! Coward!" Blinky screamed, fighting the tears stinging his eyes. He refused to give his brother the satisfaction of hearing him cry. This had been one of Dictatious's games when they were children; he would attack Blinky with harsh words until he cried, and when he had learned that tears were what the elder wanted and stopped, Dictatious had turned to physically beating him. Somehow, through all of this, Blinky had managed to love his brother, and had bitterly mourned his death; after all, his brother had been his only family. All the while Blinky had desperately tried to squash the small part of him that was relieved that his tormentor was gone. And yet all of that pain was for nothing, as his brother was back and worse than ever before.
Blinky's legs, although chained like the rest of him, were secured slightly less than the rest of him, and when Dictatious circled him once more, Blinky stuck out one leg and tripped his brother. He laughed, the sound of it strange and mirthless. As Dictatious got to his feet, his facial features contorted in fury, Blinky continued to laugh, mocking his brother's brief moment of humiliation. He only stopped when Dictatious seized a long metal blade, smacking it furiously into Blinky's face.
