Chapter 6: Captured

[A/N: So, anyone who's squeamish, turn away now, because this is gonna get a bit violent. To those who are still watching, Enjoy!]

[Time Skip, A Few Hours]

[(Y/N)'s POV]

I groaned feeling a throbbing pain on the side of my head, I felt myself sitting on a rather cushioned floor. I went to rub it but found that my hand was restricted by cold metal. I then moved my other hand to find the same thing. I then realized something weirder then being chained. I felt the wall behind me, it was covered in some kind of cushiony foam, the floor was the same. I then clicked my tongue to try and see the room. But I got nothing... No sound bounced...

Me: 'The rooms sound proof...'

I started to panic. I hate not being able to "see" anything. No vibrations. The only thing I could tell was the chains. Suddenly a loud speaker came on with static.

Female Voice: "It would seem our little friend is awake."

I gritted my teeth as they spoke. They purposely have the speaker up extremely loud.

Female: "Now, you're going to answer some questions and provide information, if you do, we might just turn down the volume, if not, we'll turn it up, understand?"

Me: 'They must want to know things about Beacon... I can't tell them anything, I can't risk lives like that.'

I took a deep breath to calm down a bit.

Female: "I said, do you understand?"

Me: "Screw off."

Suddenly a loud, high pitched, metal on metal, screeching noise blared through the speaker. I bit onto my bottom lip to contain myself from screaming in pain. Once the noise stopped I painted heavily to try to get the pain to subside. Between that and the head injury this was the worst feeling of my life.

Female: "Want to try again?"

The voice spoke louder.

Me: "Fuck off!"

I screamed.

Female: "So be it."

The noise came back even louder. I chomped down on my bottom lip again to keep myself from screaming. I couldn't even cover my ears because of the chains. By the time the noise ended I had bitten into my lip so much that it was bleeding.

Female: "We can do this all day. I'd hate for you to be blind and deaf."

She sounded as if she was amused.

Me: 'That sick fuck is actually enjoying seeing this. I can't do anything... God I hope someone's looking for me...'

Female: "Will you answer our questions?"

Me: 'Well... If I'm gonna be tortured, I'm gonna be a smart ass till the end.'

Me: "Look, I'm really flattered you'd go through all this to ask me out, but I don't think you're my type."

I laughed softly between my heavy breaths. The noise came back even louder. This time I couldn't contain it, I screamed in pain and clenched my fists. The noise seemed to last forever but it finally turned off.

Female: "Very funny. Your aura can't protect you from this, just tell us what we want to know and this will all stop."

Me: "You know... All this pain... You might just turn me into a masochist, lady."

I chuckled weakly. Once more, the noise came back. Even. Fucking. Louder. I screamed in agony and felt tears slip from my eyes and down my cheeks. When the noise went away my ears rang, but I could still hear.

Female: "Nothing will come of you being a smart ass, now just-"

Me: "Lady, you just used 'come' and 'ass' in the same sentence, if my head didn't hurt this bad I could make some sort of sexual joke, instead of talking you might as well just turn that noise back on, because I'm-"

I was cut off by that damn noise. I screamed again, and felt myself tear up even more.

Me: 'I'll go deaf before I give these fuckers anything.'

[Time Skip, Thirty Minutes]

I felt my ears bleeding. Tears slid down my cheeks. My lip was bleeding from me biting it trying to stop screaming. I wished I'd simply go deaf so I didn't have to hear that noise that seemed to echo in my ears. My head hung down, I couldn't muster any strength anymore from thrashing around, trying to get free. They must have a mic in here, they can turn on and off. Otherwise I'm sure they'd go crazy from this noise too, they turn it on to hear what I say, then turn if off to blow my fucking ear drums out.

Me: 'Looks like they gave up for now.'

I'd be relieved, if I wasn't in so much pain. Suddenly I heard a different noise. Hinges, must be a door. I heard the cushioned floor moving and shifting slightly. Every noise made me flinch, my ears hurt so bad... I then noticed multiple people must have entered.

Female: "Get him on his feet."

This was a different voice. It was softer, she sounded about my age or a little older. I felt the chains shift and then fall. Someone grabbed my left arm and began to lift me to my feet. Before they got me half way up I felt my adrenaline kick in. I lashed my right fist towards the person grabbing me. I felt it connect with their face and heard a male voice groan. I didn't miss a beat and dashed to where I heard the door open.

Female: "Seriously Mercury?!"

I heard the female voice say.

Mercury: "Shut it, Emerald! Get him!"

I hit my shoulder on the door way and stumbled a bit but kept running. My foot steps gave off loud vibrations so I could see the hall way I was in. I flinched at every step but pushed through it. Everything was fuzzy because of the ringing in my ears but I could tell a very short person was in the hall. I went to go past them but wound up crashing into them and falling over them. I fell on top of them, I took a second to catch my breath. I then noticed the faint sent of... Ice cream?

Me: "Fancy meeting you here."

I said between breaths. I then heard loud foot steps behind me closing in. I got up and began running once more.

[POV Change! Neo's POV]

(Y/N) had just crashed into me and took off. He had blood dripping from his ears and his lip. I'm glad he's blind, otherwise he would've seen my horrified face. I thought he'd talk. I thought he'd just spill the information we wanted then we'd stop. But he must have kept quiet. I guess that's why I wasn't allowed to go with Cinder to see him...

[POV Change! (Y/N)'s POV]

I kept running and running until I saw a door up ahead. I rammed into it and it flew open. I was on a metal stair case by the way it sounded. I went to run down the steps but tripped and fell. I hit the ground and my body felt like it was falling apart. I shakily got to my feet and swayed a moment before catching myself. I then heard multiple clicks, of guns readying to fire. They came from all around me.

Me: 'Well... This went to shit fast.'

The girl I assume to be "Emerald" as the boy called her then spoke as she came down the steps.

Emerald: "Don't shoot. Cinder wants him brought to her."

This time three people grabbed me and held me up. I then heard someone else come down the stairs rather fast. Then the boy from the room spoke, I think the girl said his name was Mercury.

Mercury: "Hold up a second."

Emerald: "Mercury, Cinder wants him left along for now, don't-"

I felt a shoe connect with the right side of my face making me groan and lean one way. I was dizzy and felt myself getting ready to pass out once more.

Emerald: "Are you kidding me?! He was already bleeding from the head you could kill him!"

Mercury: "Aww, does someone have a crush."

I heard him say in a mocking tone. Before I could hear anything else I passed out.

[POV Change! Emerald's POV]

I watched as they carried (Y/N) up the stairs. I saw blood begin to drip from his head again.

Me: 'I've had to bandage his head twice already. They're gonna kill him.'

I don't know why I even care... Maybe I just feel bad for him, yeah, that's it.

[POV Change! (Y/N)'s POV]

I awoke once more. I raised my head slowly and let it fall back so I was, hopefully, staring at the celling. I held my head ahead of me and clicked my tongue. I was in a fairly good sized room. There was a chair in front of me that was empty. I turned to my left and clicked my tongue again. I got an image of what I assume to be a bed. I tried to move my hands but they were tied to the chair I was sitting in. I tried to move my feet and found the same thing done with them as my hands. The pain caught up with me and my head began to throb.

Me: "Fuck..."

I mumbled to myself. I then heard a door click as it opened to my right. Then I heard heels click as the person walked in front of me and sat in the chair.

Female: "So, are you feeling more talkative now?"

It was the woman from the intercom.

Me: "You know. There's nothing you can do to me anymore. So just kill me. Cause I'll never talk."

I heard the woman get up and move towards me. She circles my chair while trailing her finger along my shoulders. She then came to the front of me and held my head up with both of her hands on my cheeks.

Female: "You know, you have beautiful (Eye Color) eyes. I'd expect them to be a hazed color."

I felt her thumbs move off my cheek. I then felt her thumb nail move to hover above my eyes.

Female: "Come now, just tell me what I wish to know, you won't have to suffer any longer."

I stayed calm. And didn't even flinch. I felt her hands heat up.

Me: 'It doesn't take a genius to figure out this must be Cinder, the girl named Emerald talked about.'

Me: "You know, Cinder, what would you like to know?"

Her hands went back to normal and she removed her hands then sat down.

Cinder: "I'd like to know about your classmates. Pyrrha Nixos in particular."

I chuckled lightly.

Me: "You picked the wrong guy. I'm not exactly a people's person."

Cinder: "That's too bad."

She got back up and walked over to me.

Cinder: "You know. Most people would've cracked by now. Spilled all the information they needed to. But you..."

She placed her hands on my shoulders.

Cinder: "You wouldn't say a word. Is it because you wish to be a hero?"

Me: "It's because I know you people will use that information to kill someone."

I smirked slightly.

Me: "And I think I know who you're targeting too."

Cinder: "Nothing gets by you, huh?"

She said sarcastically.

Cinder: "Trust me, you'll never be able to get that information out of here."

I chuckled.

Me: "Yeah... I know. Say, how about I ask a question."

Cinder: "Oh? Go ahead."

Me: "Why am I still alive right now. I'm of no use to you."

Cinder: "Well... That's because I've taken quite the interest in you."

She began circling me once more.

Cinder: "I've never seen someone quite like you. Even the race of faunas you are. So rare, and such a dying breed. Then there's you as a person. Blind, yet able to get into one of the most prestigious academies in the world, able to hold his ground even when he's about to die. Why, anyone would show some interest."

Me: "Well, I'm flattered. But I'm not really into the whole, 'crazy criminal chick who's trying to kill me' thing. Just not my cup of tea... Speaking of tea, I am parched, may I have a drink?"

I smiled.

Me: 'My smart-ass attitude is gonna get me killed. But I just can't help it...'

She then walked towards the door and walked out.

Me: 'Or maybe it'll annoy my enemies so much they leave me alone... That works too.'

I struggled a bit with the ropes that held me to the chair but I couldn't get them to budge. Suddenly the door opened again and I heard the click of heels and a much softer set of feet enter.

Cinder: "Emerald, bandage his head."

Emerald: "R-Right away, Cinder."

Me: "Jeez, your own henchmen are afraid of you. Maybe they just don't see what a kind, loving, caring, generous..."

I stated laughing rather loud.

Me: "I... I'm sorry... I just couldn't keep a straight face for that one."

I managed to say between heavy breaths. I heard a muffled chuckle from the girl now bandaging my head up. Once she finished she stood up straight. Cinder walked forward and cut the ropes off my hands. She then took one of my hands and placed a water bottle in my hand.

Me: "Aw, Cinder, you really do care."

I said in a very mocking tone. Suddenly something was slapped onto my throat that felt like a collar. It let off a beep.

Cinder: "Well I have to take care of my PET don't I?"

Me: "Pet?"

Cinder: "As I said. You interest me. So you'll be sticking around, don't get any ideas about escaping, if you so much as set foot outside the collar will shock you. And trust me, this isn't any normal shock collar. It also blocks your aura and semblance."

Me: "Listen, I'm into some pretty kinky stuff, but I'm not really digging the prisoner thing you're trying to pull here."

She suddenly picked me up by throat and began heating her hand.

Cinder: "Make no mistake. You won't have that spirit of yours for much longer. Once I break you, you'll work for me. And you'll do whatever I say."

I tried to make a snarky comment but I couldn't even breath.  She dropped me and I gasped for breath.

Cinder: "Get some rest. You'll be needing it."

She and Emerald then walked out the door. I then heard it lock. I felt around for the water bottle and eventually found it. I opened it and chugged most of it down. I then noticed something...

Me: 'She actually got me tea...'
