Gusion's POV:
'This is what you deserve! But we won't kill you, YET!' He screamed and hit me on my stomach again. This must have been the 100th strike i received today. My arm was broken, my leg was chained and my neck too. I was bleeding from my forehead and i felt like this was the end. My blades were taken from me and I had no energy left in me to cast the arrival spell. Every thing hurt. If i moved my head in pain, the chain in my neck would be tighter and i couldn't breathe. I was on the verge of giving up and just succumbing to darkness now.
I had stopped counting days. I knew my squad was planning on getting me but they would surely fail. They were heavily guarding this place and the least i would ever want was for them to die for me.
I knew if i died here like this, I'd be fine because I had saved people from dying and one life doesn't meant anything if it saved three lives. I passed out most of the time and since I was crowd controlled, I couldn't really do anything about it. I just had to give up.
Every now and then they would come to me and beat me and go. I had literally stopped hoping to survive too. The pain was unbearable at times and the worst thing is I couldn't even scream. All sorts of thoughts covered my mind but the worst thing that was haunting me was Lesley. How would she react if i really died. Would she even care? Or would she rather be happy that the killer of her best friend finally got what he deserved?
I would hate to think she'd hate me. But again, it was time i'd let her go. I missed her. I was craving her touch, her beautiful lips and the way she blushed everytime i kissed her. I was happy that i got time, although very short, with her and could say that I loved someone very much. I was very selfless with her and I really cared about her, I still do. I love her very much and I wouldn't want to die if she were to be planning on saving me. I knew my squad well and i knew they were definitely with her.
'Well well, look who's awake!' The woman cried and punched me in my face. The pain wouldn't have affected much if i wasn't hungry as f, weak and about to die.
'Leave his face, I like his face.' The other woman said and they laughed in the worst manner possible.
'We can't stay here much, we should just go and report it. If the locals find out, they will kill us! They can outnumber us easily. There are only 7 of us here and i don't know how long we can pretend to find the damn prince. He's escaped already and must be chewing on some sugarcane as we speak.'
'Orders are orders, we should just stay here and see for a week more and if nothing, we should just leave.'
They were arguing about their internal matters when i heard the grandfather clock strike 7 times. My eyes were giving away to darkness. With this much of bleeding i would die within half an hour now. And thus however uncomfortable it was, I blacked out.
Few minutes later, I heard a very loud Bang and something gave me energy. I took in the first breath of air to see the room's door being thrown down. There she was, her sniper was ready to kill anyone who got in her way as her eyes scanned through the room. She saw me and nearly dropped her weapon. She came to save me.
I couldn't do anything but smile as i felt my last few seconds of death creeping in. I wouldn't survive but i guess my wish was granted. I saw her for the last time, tucking the chains in and breaking them with Ling by her side. Yes, they looked good together and they deserved a happy life. My eyes dropped down and i gasped for air as i heard her panicking from the door, screaming and yelling. The chains were off of me and the last thing i heard was the engine start.
