" AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! "
the elementalist put a few drops on the girls arm and in the meters of second the blood penetrated the skin, the demons blood was now inside her arm
" Bleugh…."
its blood was poisoned , the girl started vomiting blood and it never stopped till she fell lifeless on the cold bloody floor
then they did the same to the next kid and the next and the next, and the next and the next and the next all encountering the same end. It kept going till there was no one left except one. Me, it was my turn now. The demon kept looking into my eyes as the blood was slowly entering my body, the blood was now fully inside and I could instantly feel a horrible pain running through my arm the pain the spread to the rest of my body in matters of seconds it was like being burned from the inside while being stabbed repeatedly, I don't know for how long my body hurt but at some point it stopped hurting all together
" Looks like we have two survivors for the day "
there is another survivor, I was not alone, the idea of someone surviving made me very happy
****
" Get in there "
I was pushed inside a cell
" Better get used to this cell because this is going to be your home from now on, of course if you manage to survive "
the man went away after making that comment I turned to my left and there I saw a boy sitting in the cell next to mine the only thing separating us was another set of bars
" Are you the other survivor ? "
" So I am not alone after all "
looks like he too had the same worries as me
" What's your name ? "
" Acheros "
" Your parents didn't want you ? "
" How did you know that ? "
" Its an unlucky name, it means river of sorrows "
" Woah….I didn't know that "
" And you, what's your name ? "
" Nephthys "
" Looks like your parents didn't want you also "
" Well I can't argue with that "
we both giggled softly
" How old are you ? "
" I am six and you ? "
" I am also six "
" what really, I am taller than you "
" I am going to grow in the future "
" Future, do you really think we still have a future ? "
" Nephthys, let's make a promise. Let's get strong together and escape this place "
we both pinky promised that day to escape together little did we know back then that that promise was meant to be broken
*6 years later*
" Acheros, are you all right ? "
As usual Acheros and I were fighting demons in the woods, we spent most of our time here training. We got pretty strong in the last few years but….something seemed off with Acheros
" Its fine, my arm hurts a little "
ever since we first got poisoned for the first time, they started doing it more frequently to see just how much it can increase our powers but as time past by I came to the realization that the poison takes a lot of your life span the more you use your powers I am afraid for the worst
" Give it to me, I'll heal it "
" Auw, look at my nice little sister, wanting to help me "
he gave me his injured arm and I did my best to make the pain disappear, his arm was turning black, the same arm that was used to get the poison inside
" Acheros, lets escape "
" They are going to find us, did you forget that guy connected his energy with ours to make sure we do not escape "
" I can break the connection "
" What ? Really ? "
" Mhm "
" Woah, you really are the most talented elementalist to ever exist "
" Let's escape tonight "
" Lets do it "
***
" You two come outside "
the pigs called us out of our cells
" Lets go "
we didn't know what this was about but we decided to cooperate for now
" You take the boy, I am taking the girl "
the guy walking next to Acheron gave the guy who was walking next to me dirty looks
" Do it quick "
but he still agreed
" I'll be right behind you "
" Alright kiddo follow me "
something seemed off this pig seemed way to excited
we walked to a secluded room we almost never used this room
" You know you are really getting more and more beautiful by the day you don't understand for how long I wanted to do this but I was always afraid of the poison inside of you "
he started unlocking his belt and I knew what he was trying to do he turned around to face me and was coming to me with great speed but right before he reached me he fell to the ground on his knees
"huff….you whore….huff "
he was getting out of oxygen because I was taking the air out of his lungs
" What's wrong, would you like some air perhaps ? "
he nodded his head desperately so I could only give him what he asked for
" Sure I'll give you some air "
I then filled his lungs with air till they eventually exploded and his body fell to the ground
" Disgusting pig "
I was about to burn his body but then realized that letting his body to rot in here was way better
" sigh….I hope Acheon is back already I can not wait to leave this place "
I went back to our cell hopping to see him there, seeing a little hope in this cruel world is what I need right now but the closer I got the more it looked like I was actually leaving in hell
" cough, cough "
" no…."
Acheron was sitting on the ground leaning his back on the wall, deep down I already knew at that very moment the Acheron was about to leave me
I got closer to him and kneled down next to him, they poisoned him again. His arm was completely black he had blood all over his shirt and mouth which meant he vomited blood
I could not accept it
" Nephthys stop it, you know it is not going to help. Stop using your energy trying to heal me "
" Shut up "
Oh how I hated that feeling….knots were forming inside my throat suffocating me, my eyes were flooded with tears it was a weird feeling it was like the time stopped and at the same time was going to fast
" Nephthys listen to me….cough….I want you to do something for me "
" What is it ? "
" Promise me you will escape this place, promise me you will get out of here, you will eat three meals a day because we never had the chance to "
