Chapter Twenty Seven

Elinor straightened up and smiled, "Lola, stab yourself," she instructed.

Lola went wide eyed, why the hell would she do that? She wouldn't, she couldn't, it was inhuman...

Lola readjusted the scalpel and slammed it into her thigh. She let out a loud whimper as she stared in horror as blood ran down her leg. The pain was hot and extremely painful as Lola pulled it out of her leg, she was huffing and puffing, tears stinging her eyes, her lips quivered and her whole body started trembling.

Elinor smiled, "I didn't tell you to stop," she informed.

Lola went wide eyed as she watched her hand raise again, no matter how much she tried, something else forced the scalpel into her leg again. Lola let out a cry this time, and was surprised she was still standing, she jabbed herself again and let out another painful cry and tears rolled down her cheeks and she was panting uncontrollably.

The Dark Guards seemed as horrified as her.

Annika stared at Lola; she closed her eyes and looked away as Lola was forced to thinly continue.

Her cries affected Annika the most, and Lola seemed to notice as well as Annika flinched with what looked like scared emotion then horrified pain with every scream. Lola bit down at her lip as she got stabbed again and let off a loud grunt. She felt the warm liquid run down her leg until it soaked into her socks and shoes.

Lola wanted to scream, so badly.

Elinor grabbed Annika's hair and forced her to look forwards, "open your eyes you coward!" Elinor demanded.

Annika opened her eyes, but looked at Elinor, "you call me the coward, yet you attack a child," Annika replied coldly.

Elinor chuckled as she made Lola cease, Lola sighed with relief as she put all her weight on her other leg.

"Don't give me that," Elinor replied as she walked around Annika, "you've done much worse to far younger."

Lola's tears dripped off her face and splashed to the floor. Her hand was in a tight fist around the pearl, the middle of her palm was warming up as she heard Angel's voice appear in her head, 'do you agree...? Do you agree...?'

The pearl was rolling in her hand, making her hand feel like it was being burned.

Elinor smiled as she looked at Lola, "how do you think Lola's lovely eyes would look on someone else, Humanoid?" Elinor asked.

Lola went wide eyed and almost screwed her eyes again, "This ought to get some cries. Dearest Lola, please hand over your eyes," Elinor instructed walking around Lola.

Lola blinked as tears streamed down her eyes. Annika stared at Lola; she could see her horror as her arm violently shook as it came close to Lola's face. Lola's trembling hand held the scalpel and it's blade was inches from one of her eyes. Lola's eyes were screwed shut and Annika looked on with no emotion saying she was frightened by this.

All that ran through Lola's mind was her begging herself not to do it, not to carve out her eyes. But she soon felt the blade touch the corner of her closed eye. She was so sick with fear.

Elinor seemed amused, "I never knew you to be that cold, Humanoid," Elinor joked, Annika didn't say a word.

The pearl continued to roll frantically in her hand.

"Lola, stop," Annika said almost calmly.

Lola went wide eyed as the blade stopped, relief flooded through her as she huffed and puffed and removed the blade from her eye. The corner of her eyelid was bleeding, but she could barely feel it.
