Child Control

Get Ready

Y'all get a scary chapter for Halloween! If you don't like violence or blood I would skip the next two chapters. Also, this chapter is extra long! Enjoy!

Don't cry don't cry don't cry. You can do this. I said to myself over and over. This was bringing back memories of being left in pitch-black darkness in Child Control. It was horrible. And to top it off all I could hear was the screams of other prisoners and their prayers for mercy. All that kept flashing through my mind was the pain of having my tongue removed and being beaten before being shoved into the dark room all alone.

I felt tears start to trickle down the face. They haven't even started torturing you yet and you're already crying? I tried to stop but it didn't work. I felt pathetic but the one thing I knew was that I wouldn't give up any information about the guild. Nothing.

I heard a key turn in the lock and the door opened. A man came in with a torch. Why are we using torches in this day and age? Maybe because it sets the scene? I audibly swallowed as he approached. He grabbed my face and brought it near the flame. I cringed and tried to pull my face away but it didn't work. He held to torch close I could feel the heat and hear the crackle of flames yet it didn't touch me.

He silently threw me away and I fell back.

"Tell us everything you know about the triplets and Annita. What powers do they have? What are their limitations? What's the layout of the guild? And what do they know about Freid?" His voice sounded gravelly as if his vocal cords had previously taken severe damage. I closed my eyes and tried to steel myself. This is where the art of lying comes into play. If I can't stay quite I'll manipulate them. As I opened my eyes a plan was hatched.

"I won't tell you anything. Leave me alone." My voice was shaking but that wasn't a performance. Step One. Resist. I couldn't just give them false information immediately or else they would see through my deception. I needed to act like they were breaking me down to the point of surrender. But I would never surrender.

"Oh, you will tell us, girl. We will beat the information out of you. Alexi."

"Yes master?"

"Bring me the blindfold and the whip."

"W-what are you gonna do to me?" I asked. He didn't reply but laughed instead. Alexi came back with a blindfold and a coiled up whip in her hand. She had a creepy smile on her face as she gently handed the whip to her master.

"You can leave now Alexi. I will call you back in when I get tired. Have a healer on standby, we can't have her dying on us." I felt myself shaking and my body went cold with fear. It'll be okay, Fia will come back for me. I won't be stuck here forever. And I won't betray Annita. Alexi's smile fell and she grudgingly left and shut the door. It was just me and her creepy master in the cell together. He pulled a chain down from the ceiling. Where did that come from? He then handcuffed my hands together and tied them to the chain so I was barely standing on the tips of my toes and my shoulders were aching. I grunted in pain and bit my lip.

"Perfect." He came close to my face and tied the blindfold around my head, plunging me in darkness. He made sure there were no cracks between the blindfold and my skin so that I couldn't see even a sliver of light. "Now, should I whip you naked, or with clothes. Hmm... naked provides more humiliation and direct contact with the whip so I think naked is better." Oh no.

I felt a tug and heard the rip of fabric and cold air across my skin. I tried to cover myself and pull my legs up but he shoved them down and I felt the fire of the whip on my skin. Crack!

"Ahh!" I couldn't help but scream in pain.

"That's exactly what I want to hear. Now... what are the triplets powers?"
