Aphmau POV

I stared at the ceiling while counting sheep in my head. It feels like it's been ages since I've been trapped in a secluded jail cell separated from everyone. I hope they're okay and no harm has seriously been done to them. My body was still in pain and I couldn't do nothing about it, it's been three days and I've gotten used to the feeling of pain, it's kind of normal for me now. I was splattered on the ground near the railing where I'm waiting for someone to at least walk in and let the light shine at least for only a few seconds.

As if Irene answered my prayers, someone walked into the room, but that person was unwanted for me. Gene walked in holding handcuffs and ropes. I rolled my head to the side not wanting to see his disgraceful face again. He walked into the cell and towards me, a sudden idea popped in my head, hopefully this sketchy plan actually works.

Using the strength that I gathered while resting I pushed Gene onto the vervain laced railing making him yelp in affliction. While I had the chance I used my powers to make his skin burn. In duration, I used his pain as a distraction to tie him up and handcuff him, I don't know if he's strong enough to break free, but it should hold him for a few minutes. I stood up and limped out as fast as I could, I whimpered as I still could feel the broken bones taking effect in harming me. I knew where the others were exactly, when Gene carried me to my cell I kept a keen eye on where he was taking me.

When I entered the room that everyone was caged up in, I couldn't help but feel that everyone's misery was my fault, maybe if I never entered their lives, then non of this would've happened. But right now I can't think of this at this time of moment, I have to be strong enough to fight for them. Maybe if I let open Katelyn and Zane's cage; since they are the most trained fighters, they can help me by distracting Gene and Lillian while I help the others escape and maybe get them away from all of this drama.

Cadenza and Kawaii Chan were awake looking at me curiously without saying a word, they looked completely damaged and paralysed on the spot. Garroth, Dante and Travis were unconscious laying on the floor helplessly while Aaron and Jason looked half dead. Luckily Kiki, Zoey, Lucinda and Emmalyn weren't harmed that much as they sat with their horrified faces. Katelyn and Zane seemed to be the only ones able to actually put up a fight, Laurance was at the back so I couldn't see him clearly.

Without thinking I dashed towards Zane's cage since his one was the closest, I tried pulling the cage door out of its latch, realisation was granted inside my brain as I could've just disperse the latch, as I used my power to disseminate the latch, I stumbled back a bit from the drainage of my power which made me even more weak. I'm not giving up now. I grabbed the wrench that was coincidentally across from Zane who looked eager to escape. I clipped the chains of the walls for his hands and did the same for his legs, once he was completely free from the vervain that was hidden within the chains, he ran out of the cage disappearing. Where is he going?

I did the same for Katelyn since I luckily had enough time, my plan to help everyone failed as Katelyn locked me in the cage securely closing the gate so I wouldn't escape, she said something about needing to rest which I tried argue back, but she harshly shut me off. What was I going to do now?

I watched the from the cage as Katelyn went to every cell and opened it to let everyone out while I was stuck in here. I noticed everyone was here besides Laurance and a few others who stayed in their cell due to the lack of health and energy. I gasped as Zane walked in dragging an conscious Gene who was struggling in his death grip with Zane's fingers wrapped tightly around his neck attempting to puncture them with his finger. Gene manages to escape from the clutches of Zane making Zane fly through the air and land on his feet on the other side of the room. They both started attacking each other like soldiers who are fighting for dominance.

When I thought things couldn't get more worse, the gates to everyones cell suddenly slammed close leaving everyone at a bad chance of escaping, Lillian entered the fight slashing Zane on the cheek with a stake which immediately healed like it was nothing. Katelyn decided to join in as well to make it a fair fight and a bigger chance of them winning, all of them seem to obtain the same standards of power which all makes them really powerful and hard to defeat. If Katelyn hadn't stepped in then Zane would've of easily lost.

Something felt different on Lillian, I felt some sort of a death vibe coming from her, I could feel the blood of my mother soaked in her sinful hands. Only then I realised, she is the true form of that disgraceful witch that murdered my Mum in front of my eyes.

"L-Laur- Laurance." I heard someone mumbling Laurance's name from the cage besides me, Cadenza pointed me in the direction of a cage that laid a lifeless body, Laurance's lifeless body.

I stood up in rage, from what I could see, Laurance had a stake plunged in his stomach, his skin started to form cracks which could only mean one thing.

N-No... It can't be possible, Laurance can't just give up that easily! This must be some sick joke that's he's playing, this can't be real, it's not real. Laurance wouldn't leave me! He can't leave us! Maybe if I shake him he would wake up! Yeah, he's just sleeping because Gene has just been a little to rough on him. Gene. Gene did this, he caused pain to the person who I upmost cared about, who's actually living in this world, he is a part of me that it somehow keeping me stable even if he isn't around all the time. Although we don't hang around as much as we did like we used to, my feelings still stayed the same, nothing changed. And hopefully his feelings hasn't changed as well.

I looked over to see Zane and Katelyn completely drenched of their lives, Gene and Lillian stood victorious as they smirked maliciously at their terrible work.

How can one be so cruel? Feel no remorse for causing harm to people knowing they hurt them? I feel my vexation overpowering my body. They dared to do such sin to people who didn't do anything to them. Katelyn, Zane? They're both laying in defeat on the ground while their standing in triumphant. Cadenza? Kawaii Chan? Kiki? Emmalyn? Zoey? Lucinda? They're in a cage probably scarred for their whole lives for something that I didn't witness. Garroth? Travis? Dante? Aaron? Jason? They're are standing there half dead while chained up to the wall. Everyone has gone through such pain while I? I'm there witnessing all this harm being done to my friends...My lover?! Who...who is laying on the ground possible dead because of my carelessness.

They are going to pay.
