Chapter 1: I'm in Hell..

-Ben's POV-

  I walked though the red halls as my gray colorless hair fell into my face in which I tried to blow out of my eyes, trying not to drop the food and actually didn't do for once. I was almost there as the freaks around me scoffed at me. I was the smallest freak in this empire. I hated how they thought I was incapable! I made it to the stairs, leading to Zalgo's office. 

  I was almost to the top when I tripped on the step I was trying to step to, dropping myself instead of the food. I saved the food but I was visibly hurt with a scuff on my chin and cuts on my chest and such. I opened the door with the food. "S-sir, your food is served!" He turned and his voice boomed  with one look at me. 

"You failed it again!? They are simple stairs you useless fucker!" He swiped the food up and slammed it on his desk and turned to me again. "I don't like failures...You know what I do to FAILURES?!" He was now right in front of my face with and evil glare. I gulped

 "Y-yes sir.." I tried to keep my gaze off of him when he put to claws on either side of my chin and forced me to look at him. I struggled to break free but I couldn't. He then screamed two names and two zombie looking freaks walked through the door with a grin. "You know what to do!"

  He tossed me over into the arms of the two zombie freaks and turned his back to walk away. "N-NO PLEASE! I'LL DO BETTER! P-PLEASE DON'T" I tried to shake out of their grips on my arms as they dragged me away. I reached my hand out trying to grab of the air around me to escape when I saw a red string around my finger. I looked at it in shock and screamed as the door closed as the dragged me down the stairs. "P-PLEASE LET ME GO!" I cried out as my tears mixed with the red blood that went down my face naturally. 

  They soon threw me into a room full of torture devises as they locked the door with a grin on their faces as they left me to wait for the torturer. I ran to the door and cried. "PLEASE NO LET ME OUT!" I suddenly hear a door behind me open and a snicker. 

"So I was sent to hurt you? A Pathetic elf?!" He howled a huge laugh that echoed through the room. I just sat there and cried as he grabbed my arms and tied me down to a table and ripped off my shirt. He then smirked and grabbed a whip from a weapon wall, and came back to put my arms over my head on different corners of the table and same for my legs. He began to whip at my stomach and I screamed in pain trying to get my arms and legs free to cover my body. 

  He kept repeating this as a screamed and yelped for what I thought was hours. I look up at my hand and saw the red sting moving and fall as though the tension from who or what was on the other end was close. "HELP PLE-AH" He whips me again to stop my pleads as I scream more and more. "SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!" My voice was horse at this point but still loud and pained. "PLEASE! SOMEONE ANYBO- AHHH" The man then stopped to do something new when I heard a thud behind me. I cried thinking someone was here to add more pain. My arms and my legs were cut from the whip and so was my stomach. "PLEASE GO AWAY! STOP WITH THIS TORTURE! I PROMISE I WILL DO BETTER, PLEASE!" I then looked at my hand and decided to not pay attention to it, causing it to disappear from my hand, seemingly like I hid it. 

  I screamed and cried as I thought of the next punishment as the man was looking thoughtfully at the weapon wall. I then saw a silhouette of someone above me. I went to scream again but he put a hand over my mouth and put a hand over his what I would think to be his mouth. The low lit light made it hard for me to see and my tears didn't help in the slightest. I couldn't see his features what so ever. He then uncover my mouth and began to undo the chains around my wrists and I felt both my ankles being freed. My eyes widened and looked down and saw two other silhouettes freeing my ankles. The boy above me then went to the side of the table and picked me up and ran. I was shocked and held onto him even though I shouldn't trust him. I sobbed quietly into his hoodie as the two other males behind him opened the door and they ran down the halls.

  "We shouldn't have come here! We should've left with what we came here for! We could've gotten caught!" One of the men behind the man holding me spoke. 

"Masky! Did you n-not hear h-his s-scr-screams!?" He held onto me tighter then before. "He was in p-pain and was plea-pleading for h-help!" The men sigh at the boy holding me.

-Toby's POV- 

  I glared at Masky and Hoodie and jumped through a opening that was like a window to the outside world into the forest. As soon as we got out side the boy went from a completly grey and white colorless being to having blonde hair and gray jeans with green high boots. His skin got a little color but was still a bit gray as if he was struggling for air but he was breathing just fine. I blushed at how cute he looked but quickly snapped out of it 

  "We need to go back to the masion! H-he is blee-bleeding all over!" I started to run through the forest and the two followed shortly behind me. we soon burst into the mansion and huffed holding the boy as I collapsed onto my knees and cradled his head to my chest and he sobbed again. "Lets get you cleaned up." He stayed quiet and started at his arms silently cried. I sigh and go up to my room and leave all the others that was staring at me to masky and hoodie.

  I go into my bathroom that is in my room and lay him into the tub and go to open the cabinets under the sink when I hear his strained voice whisper.  "P-please don't....turn onto the...water.." He shakily pointed at the shower head and the tub faucet. I look at him, pained by the state of his voice and I pull down my mouth guard thing and looked at him. "O-of course! I w-wont.." The boy nods and closes his eyes and holds his bare stomach. I get the first aid kit and go to him and lean down and open the kit and get a bowl of warm water to put on the wounds and clean the dry and new blood.

-Ben's POV-

  I suddenly feel him gently lift my arm up onto the wall of the tub and place something wet and warm on my arm and it started to sting. "AHH!" I scream and pull away, tearing up. "I-i'm sorry..I need to clean the blood..P-please give me your arm.." he reached out his arm for me to take and I hesitantly and lightly took his hand as he cleaned my arm. I winced but stayed put top let him finish. "Okay will yo-you let me clean your stom-stomach now?" I moved my other arm to uncover my arm and he still held my hand to calm me as he cleaned the blood on the rest of my body when I decided to say something. 

  "Why did you bother saving me? Your friends said you came for something else and risked getting caught..why did you do that?"
