Ty's P.O.V
I open my eyes still seeing the same cell. I feel so nauseous. But I feel a little more strength then usual. I push myself up a little and then arms go around me. Xenon.

"It's okay Ty. You can sleep against me. I don't want you to use too much strength." She said. I move a little and put my head against her shoulder. I feel her arms around me. When did she get here? My arms still hurt like the nether times ten. It feels like they are on fire nonstop. I can hear voices. It sounds like Quentin, Jerome, and Zane.

"He woke up. I told you so." Jerome said. I look at my arms as I feel Xenon rub the side of my arm a little. My elbows down are wrapped in tattered clothing. A sting suddenly shoots up my arm, making my flinch. I don't know why, but I just feel so broken inside. I feel so alone. I'm sort of happy Xenon is here. I ran out of tears to cry a long time ago. But if I could, I would be crying right now. I put my hands on my elbows holding them close to me.

"Ty. You okay?" She asks. I say nothing. I just want to cry and be alone right now.

"Ty." Zane said. I see him looking concerned at me. I cover my eyes into her neck and close them.

Xenon's P.O.V
What's wrong with him?

"Oh my god this is worst then I thought." Zane said.

"What? What's wrong with him?" I ask.

"Kim broke Ty. She broke his spirits." Zane said. But Ty...I hug him tight. Ty sounded so upset. She really did. Well..once we are all out of here. All of us Dead Army Recruits are gonna fix Ty. Ty was tortured endless. It's gonna be hard to fix that with it in his mind, but we are not giving up on him.

"What did you say Zane?" Jerome asks. Zane goes over to Jerome. I rub Ty's arm a little. No wonder I saw tearstains on his face. He was crying.

"I won't let them touch you anymore." I said to him. "Just rest. We will deal with escape."

"T-Thanks." Ty said raspy. He's losing his voice. It sounds like it hurts to even talk for him.

"Don't talk. Save your voice and your strength. I'll take care of you." I said. After a while he falls asleep. I look at his arms. I remember watching him get those. I had to look away right at the beginning cause it was just plain horrible to watch. I hope that Red guy rots in hell for what he did to Ty. The door opens and Alesa is pushed in.

"Alesa." Zane said. Alesa gets up and looks at us.

"O my god Ty." Alesa said. She comes over to me. She puts her hand on Ty's arm. "I didn't want to believe what Kim said. That she was the Dead Army General now." I look at Alesa. No. No Kim isn't. Ty is!

"Have you seen Mitch?" Jerome asks. Alesa looks at Jerome.

"Um yeah. Mitch and one of his recruits escaped. They were gonna come for you guys but were forced to have to jump out a window." She said. They did what? I'm not surprised. I feel Ty shiver again me. He's cold.  Alesa lays her jacket against Ty.

"At least he is alive." Quentin said.

"Yeah at least." Zane said.

"We have to get out of here. Ty isn't gonna last forever." Jerome said.

"What's your plan genius? We're stuck down here." Quentin said.

"Mitch is out there. He'll come back for us." Alesa said. I feel Ty move a little. Alesa and them start talking.

"Ty." I said. I just want him to listen. That's all. He doesn't need to respond to me. He moves again. "If your awake Ty, I want you to know that we, meaning the Dead Army Recruits, won't let you fall no matter what. We got your back no matter what happens.  We'll always look pass your mistakes, cause your too important to us to let go. Your basically family to us and family stick together." Ty stays still for a moment. He sits up a little. I keep my arms around him. "No. No. Lay back down, your.....Ty. You okay?" He isn't looking at me. But I turn his head a little. I see tears coming down his face. "Ty. What's wrong?"

"I...don't deserve to...to be f-forgiven." He said raspy. No. No he does. He protected me.

"Yes you do. You protected me. You didn't want anything to happen to me. It's my fault your....your so broken inside." I said. I see a almost pained look flash on his face before he looks away from me. "I'm right, right? He broke your Dead Army spirit. He broke your smile. You feel guilty cause you think you sold us out. You didn't. We want you to be safe, you made the right choice."

"B-But I.." He said raspy again. His voice is getting worst. I wipe a tear from his eye.

"Please stop talking. Your voice can't take that." I said.

"Yeah Ty." Someone said. I look up and at Kim. "Time for a little Dead Army fun." The door opens and guards points spears at Zane and Alesa. They grab me and Ty. I look at Ty as they pull us out. I grab Ty, helping him stand. He's so weak. I put my arms around Ty as they lead us down the hallway. Where did Red go? I hear talking. Familiar voices. We enter the same place that Ty and I was in before when he got torture. I never noticed how big this place was. Kim pushes us forward. I grab Ty as he collapses to his knees. I go down beside him, holding him. He is shaking still. He's scared.

"It's okay. It's okay. I got you. I got you." I said to him. I hear voices. I look up. The Dead Army recruits. All of them are here. I put my arms around Ty as Kim comes close to him. "Haven't you tortured him enough?!" Kim grins.

"Well look at your so called Dead Army General now. So weak. So pathetic. Needs someone to help him stand up." Kim said to everyone. I hold Ty tight. I look around. The recruits look mad at Kim. "The Dead Army has a new general. And it's me." Now the recruits just sounds very mad. Someone grabs me and pulls on me. They are trying to get me off Ty. No! I promised him he wouldn't be hurt anymore by her and I'm keeping that promise. The Dead Army Recruits are shouting at us. I hold Ty tight as they try to pull me off of him. "Let go of him girl."

"Never." I said.

"L-Let g-go Xenon." Ty said raspy. I don't and I feel him grab my wrist. "L-Let go." I bite my bottom lip back a little. I loose up my grip and they pull me off of Ty. They drag me away from him. Kim grab him and puts a sword on his throat.

"Why not just kill you right now?" She asks.

Ty's P.O.V
I feel the sword go against my throat. I hear her say something but I don't know what she said. I'm not gonna die this easy in front of my recruits and Xenon. But I can't feel my usual strength at all. My eyes look at Xenon. She is talking as well.

"Ty get up! I know it hurts, but you got to get up." She said. I look at the floor in front of me. I put my hands on the floor. Kim grabs my hair and pulls on it. I grit my teeth. Keep fighting. Why did I give up in the first place? Why am I depending on others to help me now? Since when did I become such a weakling and a coward? I grab Kim's hand and push it forwards. I grab the sword out of her hands. I tumble forward as a I stand up but I catch my balance. I see Xenon smile. Kim look at me and she looks angry. The sword's tip is hitting the floor. I can barely hold it up cause my arms and hands hurt so much. I can't fight with this. The sword is heavy since my arms barely have any strength. Kim laughs and takes a few steps towards me.

"O wow. I am impressed your standing up Ty. But there's no way you can fight with your injuries." She said. She hits the sword in my hands and it flies to the side and sticks into the wall. I look at it for a second.

"Ty look out!" A recruit yelled. I look at Kim. I move to the side and barely dodge an attack from her. I put my arm around my stomach. I feel nauseous. Xenon grabs me suddenly and moves me to the side again dodging another attack. Xenon puts me behind her.

"You cannot protect him forever." Kim said.

"I can certainly try." Xenon said.

"Xenon. F-Find a w-way to get r-recruits out." I said raspy. My throat feels like lava is melting it. The recruits want out. They want to help. I can see it. She looks at me.

"Yeah, leave him alone for me Xenon." Kim said. I take a few deep breathes.

"Go." I said. Xenon doesn't move for a second and then goes running for the sword that's stuck in the wall. Kim attacks me. I move to the left dodging. "The D-Dead Army is...m-mine, and a-always will be."
