"why are all of these challenges so easy. like, at least try!" gabi complained.
kio had heard us, and walked in. he took us back to the room with gabi and elle. gabi and elle had to both make out with kio while we were gone.
"oh, you want harder challenges?" kio asked.
"no, i just want you to let us go." gabi said.
"lets do some harder challenges then." kio said, walking over to the door. he had tied me and danny up again. it hurt to sit down still though.
"thats not what i said.." gabi said under her breath.

the lights went off. it was night time, and so it was pitch black in the room.
"turn them on again!" elle pleaded. kio didnt answer.
"im here dont worry" danny said to all of us. suddenly i felt something touching my skin, on my right arm.
"stOP!" i tried to move "what is that?"
"shhh! dont make a sound, or i'll use this knife against you." kio said into my ear. a knife?? noPE!
i felt it grazing my skin, the sharp edge tickling my arm gently. i felt it move up my arm, towards my neck. i wanted to scream so bad. it was torture, who knew if he was going to cut me?
suddenly, it was up on my neck, near my face. he used the knife to taunt me, tease me. i tried moving, but he kept contact. i sighed. everything was silent.
"just cut me if youre going to" i whispered.
i screamed. i tried moving as i felt the sharp edge cut my flesh. it stung and burned.
"laiyA!" danny tried moving over to me, i could hear him. it was going deeper, until kio pulled it out. there was now a cut on my neck, and i could feel the warm blood trickle down, onto my clothes.
i whimpered. my head was spinning, and i felt sick.
"leave her alone kio" danny threatened.
"oh sorry! i will." he said, all innocent.
"i'll use you instead." kio said, and he moved away from me. i was crying, it was stinging and burning and it felt hot.
i heard danny making muffled sounds, and i tried to focus on any light. i couldnt, and my head felt like it was going 5x faster than my body. dont faint now. you'll probably die.
i felt my eyelids close slowly, and i tried desperately to keep them open. it just wouldnt work. i slumped in my chair and closed them fully.
"lai-" dannys voice.
