"Come on Ce! You got this!" Jonah yelled out encouragingly, I scrunched up my face and shook my head, eyeing the water down the cliff, that I was supposed to jump.

"Come on!" He yelled out again, chuckling while shaking his head at me from the bottom of the cliff, I hugged my upper body and gulped, it was too high up for me.

He tilted his head and pouted, giving me his signature puppy eyes, I sighed and rolled my eyes.

I put one foot in front of the other, and suddenly I picked up my speed and ran, my eyes tightly shut as I felt the wind pick up around me, once I jumped, my breathing caught and my heart was no longer felt or heard, sudden adrenaline seeping into my veins.

I gasped and held my breath before colliding with the deep water, a huge splash echoing loudly through the woods around us, I opened my eyes and saw the water get lower as I swam up, pushing with my legs.

Once I reached the top I inhaled and used my hands to rake my hair back, the locks getting all over the place.

"Good job Ce!" Jonah said happily, a huge smile tugging his plump lips, my cheeks heated as I chuckled while shaking my head.

"I needed that, thanks." I said as a grin tugged my own lips, he nodded his head, then we spent the day playing around, jumping and splashing, the best day with a best friend.

...little did I know, he wasn't really a best friend...

"Wake up!" Someone yelled loudly, his voice echoing through the cell making my eyes snap open, a groan lowly escaping my lips, I looked up and watched as Jonah glared down at me.

I gulped and pushed back into the wall, hugging my upper body and biting my bottom lip, my legs trembling from the cold, and from fear.

"We need a bag today." He said smirking, knowing full well that I knew what they needed.

I'm their 'bag', their punching bag...

I shook my head, a frown tugging my lips downward, Lia's actions blocked away because I knew, how she would react to this, and it would end badly.

"Oh don't shake your head, we'll have loads of fun." He said teasingly, his tone laced darkly, and his eyes cold, void of any emotion.

I continued shaking my head, my eye getting glossier, he started chuckling, then walking closer to me.

I pushed back into the wall, my body weak, he bent down and threw his hands around me, I thrashed around, trying to tug out of his death grip, fear building up inside me.

He shook me aggressively, my heart beat speeding up with my breath, the tears betraying my hold by spilling out. He pouted jokingly and finally I gave up.

I let him pull me out of the room, with a menacing smirk still on his lips, the tears continuing their trail down my face as I sniffed silently, and watched as we walked past more cells, full of both innocent and non-innocent people.

Screams heard around me, from all the tortures that this pack does, but I didn't even flinch because I became so used to what goes on in these cells that nothing affects me anymore.

But, my heart still ached for these people, and for myself, my breathing labored as we finally got out of the cell house.

We were now outside because the cell house has its own ground, it isn't attached to the pack house.

The sudden ray of sunlight hit my teary eyes making me shut them and then open them slowly, blinking a couple of times to get used to the brightness.

I looked around us and saw beta's and warriors, some covered in blood, others angrily fuming and glaring our way, I flinched and looked down, my whole body starting to shake.

"Here she is!" Jonah yelled out, everyone hollered and clenched their fists impatiently, my eyes looking further down, as my heart skipped beats.

I got pushed suddenly, onto a huge tree, I gulped and shook my head, the tears continuing their swim down my face, I sobbed out while thrashing my body around.

"No Jonah! Please no!" I yelled out as two more warriors joined Jonah and helped him, both carrying a rope in their hands, I screamed out.

I got smacked across the face by Jonah's rough hand, my cheek starting to sting as I threw my hands onto it, putting some pressure on it, trying to reduce the pain as I shut my eyes and sobbed out.

My hands got tugged away from my cheek and harshly pushed against the bark of the tree, scraping my skin and making me flinch, my eyes opened slowly as I sniffed, my shoulders shaking with every tear that trailed out of my eyes silently, the warriors tying the ropes around me, making me forcefully stay in place.

I felt them pull the ropes and tie them behind the tree, I yelped in pain as the ropes dug deeply into my skin, my hospital dress riding up a bit making me ashamed and embarrassed.

"Get in a line!" He yelled out before turning around and facing all the warriors, I gulped and tried to prepare myself for what's to come.

I heard all their footsteps against the grass, crunching slightly and some twigs breaking making me gasp lowly.

"Go ahead." Jonah allowed, I shut my eyes and awaited for the first person's beating, my heart beating erratically.

Suddenly, a fist was thrown my way making my breathing get caught in my throat, blood started to slowly trail out of my nose, I gasped and thrashed around, trying my hardest to break free.

The pain traveling all around my face, the blood falling to my lips making me taste the penny flavor, and gag.

"Next!" And thats how it went on.

Marina's P.O.V

"Dustin! Are you okay?" I asked with wide eyes, running towards him worriedly.

Blood was suddenly oozing from his nose, my heart started beating crazily in curiosity and worry, he furrowed his brows.

I pointed to his nose with a shaky hand, he slowly raised his own and touched over his lip, the red colored liquid transferring to his index finger.

Then he looked at his finger and his eyes slightly widened, I bit my lip and gulped as he looked at me.

"Whats wrong?" I asked quietly, my head swirling with many thoughts that affected Celine and him badly, I watched as his hands fisted.

"Their hurting her." He grit out, I gasped and threw my hands onto my lips, tears welling up in my eyes.

"We n-need to find her." I whispered out, both anger and fear consuming my body, he nodded slowly, then got up and walked to his bathroom, but before he could enter the bathroom, his knees buckled and he fell onto the ground with a loud thud.

I ran to him and sobbed out, his eyes looking towards me in worry, I shook my head.

"Are you okay?" I asked my voice barely above a whisper, he cleared his throat and nodded, then he slowly got up and continued his walk to the bathroom, I continued staring at him, worried that something worse would happen.

Their bond is deathly strong...
