"Take it off!", demanded the Commander

"No! GET OFF ME YOU SON OF A-", I screamed but he grabbed my throat and cut me off.

"If you don't do as I say, you and your family will be floated."

As he tried to rip my shirt off, a guard walked by and he glanced at us, but started to walk away as if he saw nothing.

"You", the commander notioned the guard to come towards us and turned to me, "Since you won't take it off for me, maybe you'll agree with someone younger."

He pushed me into the guards arms and whispered to him, "Take her to The Room. You know what to do."

The guard nods and draged me until the commander was out of sight and then lets my arm go.

"You're the brother of the second child, Octavia", I whispered. He opened the door to The Room and waited for me to enter, but i stood right were I was.

"I'm not going in until you answer me", I said. He glanced at me and look into the room.

"What do you want from me?", he ask, still not looking at me.

" Why do you do everything he says? The commander I mean."

"I have to... or else..."

"Or else you and your family will get floated. I get it. You know its not fair that he uses his power to get what he wants.", I said entering the room. He hesitated to follow me for a few seconds, "What?"

"Nothing... Just turn around and put your hands on the wall." He closed the door and locked it. Then, he tied my hands together and tied me to a table leg. He took something out from his pocket, but I couldn't tell what it was.

"What are you going to do to me?!", I was backing away trying to cut through the rope on the edge of the table. He had this innocent look on his face, but for some reason I felt sorry for him. He tried to grab my ankle, but I kicked the thing out of his hand. I finally cut through the rope and I bolted for the door, but he was quick and grabbed my waist. He pulled me and slammed me onto the floor and stuck a shot into my arm. I started to scream for help and I started to feel tried. I became so out of breath that I couldn't even speak.

"Please... stop... why are you.. doing this?" I choked up. He didn't say anything and he got off of me. He just sat there watching me struggling to crawl my way towards the door. As soon as I got close to the door my entire body went numb and I collapsed. I heard footsteps coming closer to me and I heard him say, "I'm sorry... I really am.."

My body gave up on me and all I saw was darkness.

I felt coldness over my body and the chills crawled up my spine. I jolted up from where I was lying and it was dark. My entire body felt sore, especially between my legs. I stood up and felt my way to the light switch and flipped it. The room was ransacked, the table moved from one side of the room to the other, chairs were turned over and broken, and my clothes were every where. I quickly put my clothes on and slipped out of the room. I trudged my way back to my room.

"God why was I so stupid to let him convince me to go into the room. Why didn't I run when he let go of me? Why didn't I?...", I thought to myself.

I stopped in front of the door that separated me and my worrying family. I took a deep breath and opened the door, but I didn't expect what I was about to encounter.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HADN'T BEEN SO HARSH ON HIM HE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS! YOU! ALL OF THIS IS ON YOU!", my mom screamed at my dad, who was sitting at the kitchen table with his head in his hands.
