The Day Everything Changed (Blake x male reader)

The War With The Mind

DISCLAIMER: this chapter involves strong materials such as torture and death. You have been warned.

I woke up via a kick to the chest, hard enough to knock the wind out of me but not enough to break anything, no that was ment for someone else i feared. I knew where i was, i know what happens next... I've lived through this day for years, watching them die over and over, my mind replaying the day over and over. I struggle slightly to move as i look around the room, the stench of death making me almost vomit, the room darkened but the blood plastered everywhere from the countless hours of torture. The bodys of the ones captured before me and my team stacked in a pile at the far wall. The screams of men, women, and children filling the air as they watch their friends and family die. Then i see it. One of my teammates chaned up across from me much like i, only with one small difference. Her body covered in holes and the mad man standing next to her. His maniacal laughter as he staggers backwards.

I see my other teammate being dragged to the body pile. Jack Clover, 'The Huntsman' he was the leader of our rag tag group of outcasts. Infront of me was Lily. Her brown hair on one side of her face, her once toned body reduced to flesh and bone due to malnutrition and the cuts and bruses all over her body from the beatings. She always had a calming aura about her, one that would calm me down at least but she was almost gone. She struggles to look up at me

" please.... If you make it out... Don't forget us.... You held us together. " then i hear it. The whirl of the drill. The holes in her body wherent from bullets, or even from a sharp stick, but that drill with the rusty bit. It was her end and she knew it. She knew she wouldn't last after this hour. Her head slumpt down again and the drill gets forced into her temple. The sound of crunching bone and flesh being ripped apart being drowned out by her screams of anguish, he walks over to me and smerks. His face hidden by the light behind him shining into my eyes but i knew who he was.

" still alive i see, still dont wanna die? How about this?!" he slams the drill into my side and turns it on. The pain is worse then the scars they left. My screams of pain fill the room as they did before many times. But soon i slump over and passout. The pain being to much, i wake up in the body pile and look around. Only to be met with Lily's face. Sunken, void of hope, only sorrow being shown. I slowly pushed my way out of the bodys and see im in a pit with no one living around. Just me and the bodys i decide to try to call for help. But due to dehydration and screaming so much my voice was shot and i could only get out a squeak. I try to climb out of the pit but with both my knees having holes in them and a hole in my side i was screwed. All i could do was lie and wait for death.

"please.... If you make it out... Don't forget us.... You held us together."  those words rang through my head again and again. Then another voice

" dont worry kid. We'll all get out alive." jack speaks in my head. I start sobbing and drop my head into my arms. After that day i swore to never get close to anyone.

I wake up back in the hospital bed in a cold sweat. With no one around. I look over myself then around at everything in the room. My breathing rapid and shallow as i look around, trying to find someone. I held my hand to my chest and tried to compose myself

"please.... If you make it out... Don't forget us.... You held us together." her voice says once again. Causing me to have a full blown anxiety attack. I just curled into a ball and rocked slowly as i cried. More and more then blake walks in and sees me crying on the bed and runs over

" (y/n) what happened??!" her voice full of worry. I didn't respond and instead i just kept crying. I couldn't speak at this point for a time. She just looks at me, understanding slowly and sits next to me. Humming softly as she gently rubs my back. As time went on i slowly calmed down. The room was still in pure darkness but with her it was soothing almost relaxing. I gently grab her hand and just hold it. Staying quiet as she slowly stops

" thank you..." i say soflty as she just hugs me tightly

" you scared me... I did what i thought was right" blake says softly as she lets go

" wheres your team?" i ask softly

" their in the doom" Blake says and i start to stand up slowly" what are you doing?" she says as she goes to push me back down. I stop her and look down

" it's time you found out about my last team. Not just you, but your team as well. " i say as i start to walk to the door. I never realized i was shirtless untill i turn on the light and Blake gasps as she sees the scars, at least the ones on my back.

" this isn't from protecting you guys.... This has to do with my team..." i reply sadly then throw on a shirt. Blake just nods and gets up to help me walk to the dorm.

" should Nora and them hear about this too?" Blake asks making sure im ok.

" might as well. Im close enough to them for them to know." soon we get to my dorm and i sit down

" i can stay if you want. Make sure you dont lose it" Blake says to me i just shake my head and watch her leave only to return about 20 minutes later

" hey you ok?" yang asks as she walks in. I nod and wait for nora and them to walk in and soon they do

" hey guys" Nora says in her happy energetic tone.

" hey" my voice was empty of emotion but shaky. It was the first time I've ever talked about it. Everyone looks at me full of worry now" Weiss remember what i said about my team?"

She just nods softly a little scared as blake closes the door and sits next to me.

" it's time I've talked about it... For the first time." everyone goes quiet and i continue" it was about 4 years ago. We where going to do a contract for a guy we ran for a few times. The payout was good and it should have been a standards takeout. But it wasnt. They knew we where coming, there was 3 of us. It was me, my friend Jack clover. His cover name was 'the huntsman' then there was Lily, the techie. We all went in stealthy. But they found us, and we where out man'd, out gunned, and out of options. So we surrendered, thinking they would just interigate us. God where we wrong. We where so very wrong..." i start to remember the start of the day and get a glassy look in my eye as i go quiet.

Blake shakes me and i just grab her hand and squeeze lightly before continuing" it started regularly enough, asking who we where, who sent us, and how much we where getting paid. We only said the payment and they said they would double it if they got the info they wanted. So we agreed and told them. Once we where done they druged us. Jack tried to fight them as did lily. I sat there in shock and was the first to pass out. When i woke up jack was being beaten with Lily screaming at them to stop, begging them to stop. So they did and started beating her. I yelled at them. Told them to beat me. They did. Every day of the week they beat me. Lily asked me once why i took the beating for her. I said to her. Id take a beating if it means she lives." i squeeze Blake's hand again and i continue.

Timeskip

When i finished i was on the verge of tears. Ruby had to leave half way through to stop crying, nora was crying and yang was speachless. Soon i hear heels walk up and a pair of arms wrap around my neck in a hug

" im sorry..... You shouldn't have to go through that." Weiss says as she hugs me. I just squeeze blakes hand.

" to this day. The sound of drills sends me back to that day..." i say softly. " i didn't tell you this to feel sad for me. I tell you this, so you know why im a cold heartless man. I walled off everyone after that." i finish as everyone but ren and jaune hugs me

Well.. This was a chapter. Over 1500 words and it hurt to write this. I scared myself actually writeing this. Um sorry if this fucked with you. I got the idea from Criminal Minds, killer uses a drill to kill his victims. I really have nothing else to say other then heres a double upload. I'll see y'all later Toothless out.
