Blood was everywhere. It covered my body in a heavy blanket. The taste was bitter as it flooded into my mouth. I didn't mind that part so bad as it tasted better than the black blood they sometime made us drink.

The knife dug deeper in a curved motion. I would have admired how the knife moved with such fluidity if I were not the one of the other side of the knife. I knew this motion well, this isn't the first time that I had gotten this punishment. I am the only one that ever gets this. I honestly couldn't tell you why.

At the top of my lungs I finally screamed. This is the farthest into the punishment I had ever gotten before I screamed. I screamed and screamed until my voice didn't work anymore and I started coughing up blood.

My senses were a blur, but I couldn't give in. I couldn't let myself black out. I wouldn't. I had to focus on something to keep that from happening. That's when I saw him. He was handsome and not much older then me. I had seen him around the keep before. Wait, he was screaming something. What was he screaming. There were people holding him back.

I got a last glimpse of his face and then everything went black.

Who was he? Who was I? Why was I being punished? Where was I? Where am I now?
