Lost Inferno {The LOST Chronicles, BOOK 2}

Chapter 18- Showtime

Maddy's Pov-

"HOW COULD YOU!" I cried at him as my tears rolled down my face, he purposely teased both myself and Sherlock that we might have been able to speak to each other, even for just a second, just to hear his voice would have been enough! I hadn't seen him in ages and what felt like years, this pained me like nobody would ever understand except for Sherlock and I, as we were both in the same situation but on two different sides of the same coin.

"Quite easily, actually." He smirked as he began to walk towards our cells.

"You make me sick." Matt spat at him in disgust.

 "You know Matt I'd be careful if I were you, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your girlfriend here now would you?" He threatened as he turned to gaze at me.

His menacing glare stared deep into my soul, like he was getting right inside my head. It made me feel uncomfortable and put me on edge.

"Stop it!" I screamed at him.

"Why? Does it make you feel uncomfortable?" He laughed at me.

"Why are you even doing this, what's even the point of this all? This is all pointless!" I interrogated him.

"Well let me put this in simple terms for you to understand sweetest Madeline, I owe Sherlock something, I've owed him for a long time now and you're going to help me owe him." His grin widened.

"What do you mean? What could you possibly owe him?" I asked him.

"You'll find out soon enough." He teased as he began to walk away.

"I don't understand." I admitted to him.

He spun around on his heels and walked dangerously back over to me, he turned his head to the side and nodded, clearly there were other people here too. Two large men then appeared out of the shadows at the side of my cell.

One of them unlocked my cell and held the door open for Moriarty to enter. He stepped inside the cell and crouched down next to were I was led up against the back wall. He eyed me up and down then looked me straight in the face with his huge, stupid smirk splattered across his face.

"Do you miss him?" He asked me.

I stayed silent.

"Do you love daddy dearest so much that it's hurting you?" He teased.

I remained quite and dropped my head to the side.

He moved his head so that he could look me in the face directly.

"Is the pain destroying you?" He sniggered.

I tried to hold in my anger as best I could but it was impossible, he infuriated me so much. Before I could think what I was doing I had already done it. I hit him hard in the face.

He stumbled back a bit and regained his balance. He looked at me with murder on his mind and anger in his eyes.

"You're going to regret ever doing that Maddy." He told me, then turned around to his men as he stood up.

They both instantaneously launched forwards at me.

"No!" I screamed at them as they each grabbed one of my arms and forced me to my feet.

They each had a firm grip on my arms as they began to drag me out of my cell.

"Leave her alone!" Matt shouted at them.

"No can do Matt." Moriarty sniggered. "She's got to learn her lesson one way or another."

"No, stop it please!" He tried to reason.

"Nope!" He popped the 'p'.

With that he walked away towards a door as the men dragged me behind. I struggled against them and fought as best as I could in their grasp. 

Before we got to the door I turned my head back to Matt to see the sadness and sorrow for me in his eyes, a tear escaped my eye to see him looking so worthless that he couldn't even help his own girlfriend, well I guess I was his girlfriend now anyway considering our strong feelings for each other.

I was quickly escorted away into a different room.

One of the men held me upright and restrained me whilst the other 'taught me a lesson', I was beaten to high heavens. I was punched, kicked, slapped but it all didn't really last too long. All I remembered was being beaten black and blue whilst Moriarty watched with his smug look on his face as he witnessesed my torture as I screamed and winced, then I felt a sharp stabbing pain as I fell down and collapsed into a sleepless dark abyss.

~

I awoke back in the cell, laying on my side on the cold, hard ground.  Except I did notice my head was slightly raised up off the ground, I was leaning on something.

I winced as I tried to sit up a bit, I had been led with my head leant on Matt's lap as he was pushed up against the wall. He was sleeping gently. I had a quick inspection of my injuries. On the parts of my skin that was exposed I could see that I was covered quite heavily in deep brown and purple bruises, some parts of my body also seemed to be swollen, like my wrist for example, which had grown massive. It pained me to move it so I gently placed it flat on the floor. I led my head back down on his lap, he made me feel safe.

I tried to go back to sleep and get some rest but I simply couldn't, all I could think about was Sherlock and what would happen to him and what would become of me. 

I led there for quite a while longer before I heard a door creek as it swung open, I heard the delicate, confident footsteps from expensive shoes. It was him, the devil in Westwood himself.

"Showtime!" He sung.

Matt awoke and started to stir, I tried my best to hold myself in a sitting position but due to my injuries and lack of energy it was an almost impossible task. A gang of men then appeared from behind Moriarty and advanced for us.

They pulled us up. I tried my best to hold on to Matt and to postpone our imminent separation but I couldn't hold onto him any longer as the men holding me prized me away from him.

They handcuffed both myself and Matt's hands behind our back as we struggled against them. I looked desperately at Matt but he was in exactly the same situation as me and he couldn't do anything to help either of us, there were too many of them for us to overpower. I was then plunged into a dark world of mystery and the unknown as a soft, sleek piece of material was placed over my eyes and tied around my head. I was then led away.

This was it. I was being led away for Moriarty to use me in order for him to give Sherlock his IOU.

This was it, it was 'showtime'.

Hi guys!

I'm sorry if that chapter wasn't my best work, sometimes things just get to people and it puts them in a bad way so I apologise if that was a terrible piece of writing.

Well this is it, only 2 more chapters to go! 

WARNING, PLEASE PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER! 

Hope you liked it, let me know your thoughts!

Like I said after I finish this story I am leaving Maddy for a while so that I can write one or a couple of other stories, this will allow me to have a break so that I can give the last installment my best shot and it will give this book time for people to read it.

If you want to continue reading what I write then my new stories will be up on my page as soon as I've finished this!

Till tomorrow...
