*The Next Day*
Chaos...that was the word best suited, I saw those rats and the workers scampering up and down. When I first woke up I thought there was an evacuation or they were running from some threat but I found out after listening to some of their conversations and pieced things together, the old hag was looking for a valuable treasure,that had the entire orphanage in a mess, well except from me
Reason, I just don't care.....well that was until I remembered about the red hair with that chain around her neck and that ring.
'She couldn't have stolen that right?' yes, yes she could. I ran back upstairs back to the room ignoring the curses thrown at me as I pushed them
I halted in my steps as I saw my favourite person, my best friend Ms.Hilda and she was mad.
"What were you doing with the ring!?" She yelled at me, not the red hair 'Why is it always me!' I gaped at her in disbelief "What ring?" I asked even though I clearly knew who had it.
"You should know the person who could easily take anything from you isn't me but her right" I said with an indifferent expression, this red hair girl was always with the old hag doing only God knows
"You will pay greatly for this" after she said this she looked behind me, I unconsciously looked back.
My first mistake was ever looking back we'll second, I felt something hard hit the back of my head and everything went black
I really shouldn't have thought she would believe me, behind the old hag the red hair had a wide smile on her face
Some men came and took me away to a place I would hate the most.
3rd P.O.V
He woke up with a groan and slowly opened his eyes from his dark world to see a room filled with tools of different kinds, most of them had dried blood.
Alec looked down and saw himself cuffed in chains, on his arms, legs 'How could I let my guard down' he thought as he sighed deeply lost in thought, two figures were watching him "He's calm, too calm" a voice said "This boy seems a little dangerous" the other said as they sat down looking through the monitor on the wall.
Soon Ms.Hilda came out and stared at him in rage "It's all your fault!" She shouted, which confused him 'she found what she was looking for so how is it my fault' he thought as his eyebrows creased 'If I couldn't find it, everything would be over, I won't even have a life's she thought to herself and shivered.
*Explicit details*
She grabbed a dagger and held his left hand, the blade ran against it "You don't know how much trouble, I would have been in, if I didn't find that ring" she whispered, not long after the blade cut his fingers in a clean swoop, his face greatly contouring in pain, but no sound came out .
A few minutes passed and all his fingers were on the floor, blood dripping, his face stolen with rage, his mind wandering and anger filled his heart
She didn't stop there on the contrary she slowly pulled his toenails with each pull brought her satisfaction, she cut his feet so deep one could see the muscles and bones, the crimson and pink making a spectacle, she called a healer to heal him before repeating the process over again
Hours passed, screams and grunts filled the quiet room, he grew exhausted, his voice cracked, his eyes grew blurry his face swollen, sometimes she would heal the wound and sometimes she would leave it to make sure he felt the pain. Sleep has never been close and so far for Alec, the whipping he got, to wake him up violently tearing his sanity bit by bit.
Several days passed in this hell of a loop, cuts, bruises, burns and trauma, he had Grown numb to the pain;the only chilly feeling was his body slowly healing and the hollow feeling in his heart.
His body had several bruises, cuts spread all over his small body, shallow but painful, everywhere on his body felt weak, his clothes were ripped beyond measure different liquids on his body be it sweat, water, blood or acid.
"He should have learnt his lesson by now release him"Ms.Hilda told one of the men "But we aren't sure who exactly sent him" the man rebutted, "Let.him.go" she ordered firmly " But what about....."
It's not time yet,let him go"
*End*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Aargh" Alec screamed once again remembering what he went through before being brought out of that room.
"You're still having nightmares huh" a voice said, the owner being Marvin,right he's the only other person to be here as after that incident, the red hair whose name is Rose was moved to the other rooms with the others leaving him as the only one, Marvin on the other hand still kept visiting and stayed with him when he was brought back spending most of his time with him, sometimes sneaking some food for him.
Alec on the other hand was restricted from leaving his room and stopped speaking to anyone,at first he was very hostile attacking those kids and so was kept in here to prevent that.
Marvin approached Alec and dropped a small basket before sitting beside him, he picked up a small towel and wiped Alec's faced "I have improved on my lightning ability, do you want to see?" He inquired with his hands extended sparks started to appear but disappeared immediately, "You haven't shown me your ability before"
"You still don't want to talk...I know it's difficult but it's been seven years and you still haven't talked" Marvin sighed 'Is his voice deep?' Marvin thought
Alec stared at him in confusion 'How's that based on my ability'
After a few minutes which felt like hours to Alec especially with Marvin who kept talking about Rose "Did you know,they think that Rose likes me, can you belie....." A hand covered his mouth "Could you shut up!" Alec shouted, if there was another thing he hated apart from humans that is unecessary noise
Marvin tried to remove his hand, but to no avail, he was so focused on the fact that Alec covered his mouth that he failed to notice that Alec talked.
Alec smiled and closed his eyes as a silent win,until he felt something wet on his hand.
"What the hell is that!" did I also forget to tell you he likes to be clean, he instantly removed his hand and fell back on the bed, forgetting his pet rabbit Arvec was behind with quick thinking Marvin grabbed Alec, pulling Alec onto himself "You talked!? you actually talked!?" Marvin excitedly said, while ignoring that they were in an awkward position.
Alec stood up and stared down intimidatingly at Marvin "How dare you touch me"
"And never repeat that" he added, Marvin stared dumbly "Wait, repeat what?", "Forget it" Alec said, he knelt down by his bed seemingly getting something from his bed he froze
