The Ocean's Curse (Fairytail Fanfiction)

Chapter 2 : My Not So Great Escape

"AAAAAAHHH!!"I scream in fear, waking up from the nightmare that has been haunting me for a year. "Shut up!"the wizard in charge of watching me yells. I look around and I'm still in the same cold, moldy cell underneath the dark wizard guild, Raven Tail. I have been held here for a year. They keep me here so they can use my magic power. At least from what I have over heard from the guards talking.

Every day it is the same, the same painful routine.

I'm sitting in my cell on the wet and moldy floor. I'm wearing a dirty old T-shirt my captors probably found by a dumpster or off the street. My ankles and wrists hurt from being chained on either side of me.

I'm thirsty, I wish they would give me some water and not just the dirty water they get from the river about a mile from here. I thought, coughing from the dry feeling in my throat.

I have my eyes closed and my head is hanging, letting my matted overgrown curly hair spill over my thin, weak arms.

Suddenly, I hear the sound of my cell door open only to see the face of the second person I hate the most. I feel anger in the pit of my stomach. My eyes have been gray ever since that day.(She's talking about the day her parents were killed.) So I didn't even have to look in a mirror to know my eyes were gray, but its not like I could anyway. I have been a big ball of anger, sadness, and regret. I managed to lock most of my emotions away in a deep dark place in the back of my mind. But seeing his sick grin made me want to take my chains and rap them around his neck in till his face turns blue.

His skin was about the same tone as mine, his hair was shaved and black with an ugly goatee. Just seeing his face made me sick, but I see it often because he is Raven Tail's guild master, Ivan Dreyar.

"Looks like you still have that defiant flare in your eyes. I hope you'll give in soon and just join my guild. I'll teach you everything you need to know about your magic to help you control it." Ivan said with that sickening grin still plastered across his ugly mug. I gathered what was left of the saliva in my dry mouth and spilt it right at his face, "haacc tuu!" It landed just shallow of his left eye. Ivan scrunched his face in discussed.

"I would rather die than join your pathetic guild." I say with a fire in my eyes, but my voice bearly over a whisper. "Oh don't worry my child, after today you'll wish you were dead. Hahahahahahah!" he lets out a maniacal laugh that causes me to fight back my chills. "I. Am. Not. Your. Child. Do your worst." I say with a smirk on my face, which just seemed to piss Ivan off even further. "It seems you still have a sharp mouth, let me help you with that." he says grinning from ear to ear. Ivan walks up to me and punches me dead in my jaw, breaking it. "Aaaahh!" I scream out in pain, then locking my jaw muscles in place to try and stop my jaw from hanging. As I try and move my jaw I hear a loud "CRACK!" then I realized that was from my jaw.

I refuse to give him the pleasure of hearing my pain. I thought then stopped myself from yelling anymore, I just sat there limp not making a sound. "Looks like that shut you up." said Ivan but I could tell in his voice he was a little annoyed by my sudden silence. "Time for you to go to the chamber. Take her there." he snaps at the guards as he walks out of my cell. The guards unlock my chains and drag me by my arms letting my feet slide behind me. Before I am taken to the chamber Ivan turns around and lifts up my chin with his index finger and thumb. I wince in pain not wanting to let my voice out. Ivan smiles at me and says in my ear, "You'll be here for the rest of your life." That's what you think. I think to myself as the guards start to drag me away again.

As we approach the chamber I hear faint screams of pain which were not uncommon. The chamber is the place where all the children Raven Tail holds captive go to fight each other. They set it up where two kids fight and whoever knocks the other one out first goes to the next round, but the loser of the battle gets their magic power sucked out of them then killed if they haven't already been killed from the battle. There are 20 children here and the top 10 winners in the battles will not be killed. They will be whipped and beaten once they regain consciousness. I have only lost when I was in the top 10, hence me still breathing, but I still have the scars on my back that prove my losses. The prize for the winner of the final battle is not being beaten and actually getting a proper dinner and water. It's sick that we have to fight each other just to stay alive, but I guess that's what is going to help me escape. I thought.
