Hell Horse

Chapter Six

Song ~ bold
Memory ~ italics

My breath is heavy as I lay strapped to a cold metal table, awaiting the agony that came with the white labcoat wearing people and the needles. Oh the needles, I hate the needles, they inject me with death drugs and venomous vials of chemicals. Not even a minute after I thought about the people who stab me, poke me and prod me with the needles, they enter the room armed to the teeth with siringes and vials full of colourful substances. They approach me "remember screaming or showing emotions results in punishment" the head labcoat wearer said to me I didn't do or say anything all I could do was brace myself for the agony I am about to be put through for the name of science and a better world, I know that it is just to give people something to believe in, to believe that what they are doing is right, however I know that's not true, HYDRA wants to eradicate all traces of good from the world. I take deep breaths as they insert the first needle into my skin, then the pain starts, they inject me with different fluids,chemicals and death drugs. Unfortunately for me, the death drugs don't work on me, they just add to immense agony I'm already feeling. I feel a scream ripping through my throat but I clamp my jaw tightly to prevent the sound escaping my body. It doesn't work. The scream rips through my throat like an axe through wood. The guards through me into my cell I feel my ribs crack slightly as I hit the wall it doesn't help me in any way.The pure agony lasts for hours on end as I curled up in my cell, or at least as much as one can with several cracked ribs. Tears roll down my face despite my efforts to keep them at bay, I fall asleep with one thought in my head: I'm alone.

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see are all made of gold when your dreams they fail and the ones we hail are the worst of all and the bloods run stale

I punch the bag "No! Lily! You dare hurt my daughter, I swear to Draco that I'll kill you if you hurt another scale on her body" a voice yells, echoing down the hallway, I crept to the door of the training room  then it hit me, the woman is auntie Amethyst and lily is my baby cousin. I pick up a dagger, sword, bow and arrow and a couple of smoke grenades I hide the weapons about my person, I punch the door making a dent I kept going, knowing that the guards would kick the door down, I hear their heavy footsteps coming towards me I back up to the wall opposite the door and sprint at the door, knocking it off its hinges,out the frame I fought the guards, I finally reach the door hiding my aunt and cousin from my sight I kick it down and saw my cousin on the floor and my aunt stood between me and my cousin i know she is under their control, I look into her eyes to see regret, desperation and anger "I'm sorry" she whispers to me before I know what going on she punches me gently in the head just enough to knock me unconscious.

I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you but with the beast inside there's nowhere we can hide no matter what we breed we still are made of greed this is my kingdom come this is my kingdom come when you feel my heat

I run through the village, my heart racing as I hear the bullies catching up with me, I hear the hoof beats and clinking of armour I speed up knowing that my uncles are coming I run faster still when I trip over a small stone I see the bullies a meter away from me I jump up only to be pushed back down two boys grab my arms whilst the leader punches me in the gut, then he pulls out a dagger then I remember that his father is a guard, he stabs the dagger into my leg, tearing my flesh as he pulls it down so it looks like a scratch although it's much deeper that it looks. He then pulls out a small bendable thorny branch he wraps it around my wrist and pulls out a thick needle and stabs it into a vein on my other wrist he pulls it out roughly so I have a dribble of blood on my right wrist, he slowly takes out the dagger in my leg, he grabs the branch, pulling it tightly then ripping it off my wrist he and his cronies run away leaving me on the ground. I quickly stand up and run to the castle, or more specifically, my mother's room. I knock on her door she opens it within seconds she takes in my appearance piecing together what happened before carefully picking me up and closing her door. She sat me on her bed as she went round her bathroom,  gathering the medical equipment to patch me up her door opened and closed quickly, showing my aunt and two younger cousins, lily and rose, they sat on the bed with me whilst my mum came over with the supplies, depositing them on the bed she sat down, moving me onto her lap as my aunt sat on the floor about to start stitching up my leg I let out a whimper she moves the needle away from me "what about me stitching you up don't you like"  my auntie asks gently as my mother squeezes me a little "the n-n-needl-le" I whimper she nods
"Okay, that's fine" she said as I start to hyperventilating
"my little firefly, can you do something for me," my mum asks me "I need you to breathe with me okay" I don't respond she puts my hand on her chest as she breathes deeply I try to copy her but I can't "i...pant... Can't... Pant... Do... Pant... It" I pant
"Hey little firefly, you can do it, just keep breathing okay" my mum tells me, after a few minutes I manage to get my breathing under control, my aunt stitches me up once I was calm.

Look into my eyes it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide don't get too close it's dark inside it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide when the curtains call it's the last of all when the lights fade out all the sinners crawl

I woke up to see a riding outfit hanging on my wardrobe door excitement bubbles up inside me as I remember it's my birthday, I got out of bed, showered and dressed I walk to the dinning room and sat down next to my mother I look at the head of the table where my grandfather sat with my grandmother only to see my grandmother wasn't there I don't understand where she is but I know it's not good I wonder why she would miss my birthday, maybe she is just late.

So they dug your grave and the masquerade will come calling out at the mess you've made don't wanna let you down but I am hell bound though this is all for you don't wanna hide the truth no matter what we breed

"Mummy! I-I-I- I'm scared, what's happening to me" I ask her
"Hey little firefly it's okay, just let it happen firefly, let it happen" my mother answers me just before I let out a scream that shatters the fragile silence of the world, and my mother's heart. Then a burst of fire engulfs my small body before disappearing, leaving me breathless and unable to move. I eventually manage to get up I felt a tickle on my back, I went to scratch it but instead of my skin I felt feathers, phoenix feathers. I flap my wings gently lifting me a few inches off the floor I gasp in delight. I look at my mother to see a beaming smile on her face I can see it is fake.

We still are made of greed this is my kingdom come this is my kingdom come when you feel my heat look into my eyes it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide don't get too close it's dark inside it's where my demons hide

"Her father is Surtur! A fire giant, it is despicable Luna, I will banish her to surtur's realm" my grandfather said angrily "my daughter will perish in his realm! He hates her, father if you banish her i will not hesitate to fight you" my mother said "as will i sister. father, do not expect me to stand by as you banish my niece, my daughter's cousin. I refuse to let you get away with this" my auntie said  "she is a threat! She could kill us all where we stand if she heard us-" my grandfather got cut off by me "I can hear you. I. Am. Not. A. Threat. I. Am. Not. A. Murderer." I growl at him as I walk forward creating a fire ball in my left hand and a fire sword in my right hand. My hair turned to a fire orange colour and  armour appears on my body as I advance towards him. My anger consumes me as I launch fire ball after fire ball at him.

It's where my demons hide they say it's what you make I say it's up to fate it's woven in my soul I need to let you go your eyes they shine so bright I wanna save that light I can't escape this now unless you show me how

"Daddy what's that" I ask my dad as I point to a creature it's pearly white scales the sun hit the scales, creating a blue, purple and silver hue its wings stretch out, showing the injuries it had. Its wings were ripped at the ends, and it had three long,deep cuts on its side. I held dad's hand as I looked the creature over. My daddy answers my question "that little firefly, is a dragon" we walk over to it I reach out to touch it's muzzle it growls but sees me as a child and that I won't hurt it "what's your name" I ask 
"Moonstone" she replies I reach out to touch her wounds she flinches at the contact I lay my hands on one of the wounds, I use my powers to heal the wind quickly moving on to the next two "there you go all healed" I say to moonstone "thank you child," she says before pulling off a scale and handing it to me "here, take this scale as a token of friendship, if you ever need me or just want to see me say my name whilst holding my scale" she tells me I nod
"Okay" I whisper

When you feel my heat look into my eyes it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide don't get it too close it's dark inside it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide
