A/N: Hello readers. Alright, thought I'd get this chapter out real quick. I had this idea and I had to hurry and write it. It's short, probably the shortest chapter but next chapter will be better. Writing it was a bit hard because I'm not too good at being descriptive, if you haven't noticed in the other chapters. Anyways, I hope you like it. Enjoy!

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

          Her voice was distinct from the other voices I could hear. There was at least three other voices, one I knew was a vampire but the other two, I wasn't too sure. Obviously she ran things, her powers of a succubus were strong. When we entered the mill, the vampire threw me in a separate room from where they resided. But the other two men who entered had already been in the mill. The room I was in was small, no windows and the stench of rotting walls made me hold my nose. The walls were thin and I could hear everything, even when she took my phone from me, she called my uncle. I listened on the conversation and when she said Connor was alive my heart felt as if it was revived. My tears formed but this time from happiness. Knowing Connor was alive made me hope. They were going to come save me. I huddled in the corner when I heard foot steps walk towards where the room was and then the door opened. In the door way stood Penelope and then behind her, a cart covered with a sheet.

                    "I'm sure you heard my phone call with your uncle. Seems wolfie is alive. But that doesn't matter, I have you. So why don't we have a bit of fun while we wait for batman and superman to arrive." she said, a sickening smile spreading across her face and then an older man, maybe in his mid 50's, followed her in. His long graying beard and wrinkled face showed that the years had not been good to him. He was pushing the silver cart in and another man, the vampire who brought me in, had a wooden chair with him. He set it in the middle of the room, next to where the old man had set the cart. Penelope walked over to the cart and pulled the sheet off and my eyes widen at what was laid out on top of it, a scalp o, saw, knives of all sorts, a small kidney pan, and a syringe. She picked a small knife and touched the tip of it,

                    "Oh I'm going to have lots of fun with this little gadget." she said and told the old man to have me in the wooden chair. The old man nodded, looked at me and lifted his hand and spoke one word SURGE. My body then all of a sudden stood, on it's own. The man then wiggled his fingers forward and said VENIRE. My body started to walk and I reached over to the wall, hoping to find something to hand on to. Nothing, body was now nearing to the chair and the old man said SEDERE, and I sat not moving. Penelope thanked the old man and then bent down to me, our eyes matching each other, "I want to start with that pretty face of yours but I would love to have your loved one watch. So I'll start with . . ." as she said that, she cut me deep in the arm and I let out a scream. I could feel the oozing blood start to trail down my arm. Another came after and I screamed, "Please . . . " I try to manage but she just smiled, "Please? Please? You have some nerve . . ." She said, putting pressure to the first cut she inflicted on my arm and I let another yell out. It was the worst pain I had ever felt. She cut again, just below the second cut she gave me and I screamed. She covered my mouth, "Not right now . . . Save those for when your beau and uncle come." she said and poked a finger in my cut and I cried, tears flowing down. I was now shaking. 

          She inflicted another cut, this time on my leg and I cried out more, wanting the pain to stop. It was too much. She finally stood up, the bloody knife in her hand. She gave the vampire the knife, who wanted to lick the blood off but she looked at him and said if he did that, she'll kill him. He had fear in his eyes as he set the knife down on the cart. Penelope then looked at me, "Once they come, my wizard friend will have them taken care of." she said and I looked to the old man, who smiled. So that explains his powers. The shaking wouldn't stop and my arm burned. This woman crazy. She grabbed the scalp o, "Now let's see how deep this can go . . ." she said and before she could set the scalp o on my arm, a crash in the front part of the mill sounded like a window. Penelope yelled for the vampire to go and see what it was. He was out in seconds and she ordered the wizard to take me into another room. I could feel my body start to weaken. The blood oozing from my arm was running fast and I could feel the blood on my leg.

          The wizard followed Penelope down a short hall and we turned right and was met by Connor, who only had a blanket on. Everything else was naked. My face brightened, "Connor!" I yelled happily. Everything was going to be alright. He looked at me with sad eyes and then he looked at the cuts on me, his eyes turning dark as his attention went to Penelope. Penelope didn't seem to care he was even there. Without word, Connor ran towards her and Penelope didn't even move instead, I watched as the old wizards hand came up and one word exited his mouth, Obturato. Connor froze in mid run but his eyes moved with confusion. He must have of been too heated to know the old man was a wizard. I looked at the old man, who still had his hand up. Was that how he controlled him? He didn't have to do that to me, unless Connor was stronger then the old man can hold. I tried to move my arm but no luck. I couldn't move at all as if chains were holding me. 

                   "Connor . . ." I said but was quickly cut off as Penelope back handed me hard in the face. I could just feel the hand print on my check that burned.

                    "You have no right to that name. I want to watch you suffer as I pick him apart." the evil in her green eyes was taunting. I turned to face, now glaring. She had to drag me  and then looked at the Wizard, "Get the uncle, meet me in the room. The show is about to start." she said. As she dragged me to the end of a small hall, Connor kept his eyes on me and my eyes started to fill with tears. Something inside me could feel his hurt. We entered into a lit room, light stands facing in the middle. She set me in the spot light and stared down at me, "Your going to want to close your eyes for this." she said.  In minutes, two big vampires dragged in my uncle,

                    "BRODY!" I yelled, noticing his beat up face, arms and his now torn clothes. They did a number on him. My eyes had puffed and I could feel the red in them from the crying. The vampires set him in a corner, he was unconscious. 

                   "Brody . . . Please be okay!" I said in a mumble. Penelope set her hands on her hips, "This will be a good vampire to control." she said, staring at Brody.

                        "You couldn't control him . . . Even he would be able to see your ugly flat face." I said through anger and she turned my way, her eyes flaring, "Your tongue will be the first to go. As I'm cutting your tongue, your uncle will be handle in a proper manner by these two gentle men and my wizard will take care your you boyfriend and after the torture, your eyes will be next, that will be the last thing you see." she said through gritted teeth. Then the wizard walked in with Connor, who was now chained together but the wizard still hasn't let his hand down. Connor eyed me for a second before Penelope smacked me across the face again. His anger in his eyes even showed. The wizard settled him in the front of me just a few feet away. He scrunched his eye brows together. I knew he felt helpless. I gave a small smile, "With all of this happening . . . " I started and he listened as I continued, "I was never really honest with you. I fought the feelings I had . . ." Penelope heard me as she back handed me again, "Don't you shut up!" she yelled, now looking at Connor. My eyes were facing away, trying to feel any feeling in my face. Hitting me in the same spot was making me dizzy. 

          Penelope walked over to Connor, matching his height and then looked down at me,

               "You know, I crushed over him for years. I'm one of the strongest succubus in this world. I can control any man that came my way, vampire, wizard, werewolf anything. But this one, no. As many times as I tried to throw him under my spell, it didn't even make him think about me. Then you come along and he gravels at your feet . . . Like a true dog. So I'm going to take what he wants most, you! But I want to have you watch him suffer first, with your uncle." She then leaned in and kissed him. My eyes went wide and she let his lips go as she licked hers,

                    "Mmmmm, delicious." she said as she stood and walked away. I looked at Connor who gave me a disgusted look. He looked helpless and here I was just as helpless as he was. Penelope set up a similar tray with a bit more tools on it and she set it next to me. The wizard and vampires smiled with hate. The two vampires woke Brody up and when he came to his eyes blinked open until it finally took in it's surroundings. He looked at me, "Eryn! Baby girl  are you . . ." Before he could finish, one of the vampires punched him in the face. 

                  "BRODY! You asshole . . ." I screamed and the vampire just smiled at me as he hit him again. Brody fell to his knees and Penelope walked back to me, "Shall we start?" she asked. I didn't answer, I just glared at her. She smiled and looked at the wizard, "Lets begin." she said and the wizard smiled as he closed his eyes and started to mumble something under his mouth and he lifted the other hand and kept to the chant. All of a sudden, a loud scream exited Connor's mouth as his back arched. The scream was torturous. 

                  "NO . . .  PLEASE STOP!" I begged but Penelope just smiled as more screams exited his mouth. His body started to bend in an uncomfortable way and I heard bone bending and snap. He screamed as the wizard chanted. Tears stung his eyes and I couldn't stop the flow coming from mine. Another scream came but it was from Brody, the vampires had been beating him senseless. 

                    "Please stop . . . Please!" I begged. Penelope ignored my cries. I was helpless. My body was not moving. Please. Please someone help them. She was going to kill them. The rooms were filled with screams and more bone cracking was coming from Connor. He looked at me for a second and my heart sank as the wizard chanted. He bent back again and I could see the shaking in his hand. He tried to fight it but the wizards powers were strong. Brody was had silenced but when I looked back, the vampires were still beating him. Please. I . . . I didn't know what to do.

          Penelope lifted my chin, 'I want you to witness all of it honey. Because of you, this is happening. You should blame yourself."

                   "Please . . . Please Penelope, stop this. I won't . . . Just please stop." I was helpless this much I knew. Penelope let my chin go, "Even if you gave in, he wouldn't. So in order to stop this madness, I'd have to teach him a lesson and kill you." She glared at me and turned her attention back to Connor, who had been breathing hard. His eyes tried to face me again and I let the tears flow. He screamed again and again and again. His voice threw knives at my heart. I could feel it all, his torture. Every pain he was going through. She was going to kill him.

          [Now that can't happen] I gasped at the voice. I looked around but I knew it was in my head. 

         [Open your heart to me and you shall see] I sniffled the tears back. "Okay." With that one word, my world had gone dark and my mind felt controlled now. The next thing I knew, I felt I was in a corner of my mind, but I could see through a window, looking at myself. Something had changed about me. From where I was, I really couldn't see what had changed but it wasn't who I was use to. This was my sorceress.
