Chapter 23: Blood
Daphnea's P.O.V.
Pupils within my eyes dart around with worry as I walk along with giving Norasha many glances. I really wish I could talk to her, even by whispering but these backstabbing enderman are escorting us outside to who knows where. Our hands are tied behind our backs, as if things aren't bad enough. But what's happening to Will? It's obvious Carolin cares about him weirdly a lot, so perhaps his treatment is either better or worse than ours, I wish we could do something... We can't even escape without Will since we are ordered to protect him at all costs. My eyes dart around again, looking for something to at least use as a distraction, anything! Oh screw it anyway. I don't want to wait to find out where we're going. Sure, I may die trying to escape, but what other choices are there? I'm not waiting to possibly be tortured. My legs are tired from walking around for so long, yet the thought of even a second of escape fills me to the brim with such energy. "Wha- GET BACK HERE!" The closest guard ordered to keep us within sight yells, while I presume one or two are now chasing me too with the rest keeping Norasha in their watch.
Hearing odd noises doesn't stop me from running faster, even with my hands tied. A cloud of purple sparkles appear right in front of me and appears a pitch black figure, but I luckily Dodge and run even further. There's a whole heap of endermen watching the sight, but refuse to do anything as most endermen here are too selfish to even help their own kind when they're in need. Not far away, I see a building which is quite a dangerous place to go, especially with no armor or weapons... It's a tomb where they keep the wandering undead humans they caught a long time ago. Bursting into the enterence, there's two endermen right here and staring at me. The closest one only takes a huge to step to get to me which proves to be successful, and actually does something by grabbing my arm. As I thrash for my freedom, I am taking across this long hallway till I finally am thrown into a doorway. "NO! ST-" I try to yell out but a groan from hitting the hard, stone floor interrupts my pleads to escape. They close the door in the doorway, and that's when I hear a clicking sound to indicate I'm locked in here... My eyes dart around once again, not knowing to be happy I've escaped those traitors, or to be fearing for my life once again because of the groaning along with the clicks of bones I hear.
Will's P.O.V.
Finally, that whole event is over. Now I'm finally out of that building they use for sick entertainment. But now I remember the question she had asked me, a question about blood. It still catches me off guard. "Darkness? That's your name, right? Why would you ask me if I've ever had a blood-" But alas, I'm interrupted by five endermen who just approached us, and I stand behind Darkness and in between her bodyguards not knowing who'll tear me to shreds first, but most likely Darkness. "Daphnea's escaped, but we know where she is. She's in the tomb, and we'll just let her be there since she won't die there and she won't be able to go anywhere else." The first tells Darkness. "Yes, we think it's best for her to stay in one place because... Because we have some bad news. Norasha gas escaped too and we have completely no idea where she's been." The second informs their leader, he's trying to act calm but I can't help feel as if he's shaking like a leaf inside. "WHAT?! Daphnea can just stay there in the tomb, but Norasha! How in the hell could you lose two of them?! The only bright side to this is she'll be able to clean out that rat's nest. Get the some guards to check up on her from time to time in case her wounds get serious." She orders sounding incredibly irritated, yet being able to keep her calm.
"I won't be dealing with it right now, just look for her yourselves because I'm busy right now." The woman grips onto my arm and practically drags me on the direction of the castle taller than any structure in the this uhh... Kingdom? It may as well as be one. "How hard could it be? Someone's probably found it already." She mumbled to herself while her grip only tightened to a point she probably has already left a large bruise on my arm. I only make tiny pained sounds, I don't want her to hear my noises if pain because if she knows it hurts, I fear she'll only make the pain worsen. My groans only go a bit more less quiet due to her gripping so harshly I think her nails maybe grazing my skin under my clothing. Did she hear me? If so, maybe it proves my theory of her hurting me more for that specific reason to be true. Of course she heard me, we're so close in distance it would be incredible if she didn't hear me. "Could you grip on any more tighter?" I ask in a sarcastic tone to let her know I don't appreciate the way she's dragging me, but I should've remained silent. "Oh?" The violent woman responds as if I'm being literal and she just grips far more tighter.
"Gah!" Is what squeaks from me, hoping to be more quiet but why hide it? She's going to hear whatever I'll say. "Ok... Syringes, straps and tissues... Maybe more blood will do." Darkness tells herself quietly as if planning which I'm sure she is,and that's far past worrying. "Hold on, I just have one more thing in mind!" Oh no, what now?! The grip is even more harsh somehow, and she pulls me into the castle which is dark and eerie. Through many more steps, the witch leads me to a room filled with torture devices and chests possibly filled with horrific imagery. I close my eyes imagining getting stretched on a tiger bench, but hear a metallic jiggling like sounds and open my eyes to see a pair of golden shackles or handcuffs. "Turn around." The witch orders as if I myself am an endermen, but she already turns me around and unlinks the chain of the golden collar around my neck and connects the collar with the shackles, now they're getting pulled down to my wrists to restrain me. I try to move my arms, but they can barely shake and this psychopath pushes me out of the room and pulls me throughout the halls.
