7 Carmine and the Torture Twins

As the twins walked through the portal, carrying a unconscious Akiera, a women stands tapping her foot continuously. She glares watching the twin who look down not wanting to make eye contact with the older women.

"Where the fuck have you two been"

Her voice demanding and laced with a growl. With a slightly glance at Max her glare hardens.

"Who's she."

Neither boy answers standing in a heavy silence. The woman growls. "I expect an answer boys."

They flinch, Caesar slightly looks up.

"She almost got us caught, so we brought her with us as a new toy"

his voice is soft, almost like a scared child. The women keeps a soft glare as she eyes the sleeping Akiera.

"Take her to the cells then. make sure she can't get out."

With a nod the two leave quickly, taking the young dragon through the small mansion, into the basement. Max lays her in a cell and places a strong iron collar around her neck. He shuts the door and locks it watching her a few moments before leaving with his older brother who growls softly at him.

Akiera:

I could feel them moving me around and I could hear them speaking, it was like talking into a tunnel loud enough for it to echo but soft enough for it to be hard to fully understand. I could feel the boy, Max, tense and flinch now and again. I could hear a female growling, which sent shivers up my spine and I could feel the ice cold metal against my skin. It felt nice after so much heat. I could feel the cold floor beneath my bare arms and my head. I could feel my hair draping over my waist and twist around on of my hands. Yet I couldn't move to touch any of it. It was like I had be paralyzed. I didn't like it, and neither did Glacier.

'You just had to approach them didn't you girl'

I frown slightly as my eyes open 'I didn't know the second one was there. I couldn't smell or hear him. Why didn't you warn me if you know.'

' Because I did not hear them either.'

I feel as my body slowly starts to tense and twitch, as I force it to move. Soon I managed to sit against the wall. I growls softly at the discomfort of the iron collar and yank at it.

'Glacier can you break this?'

She gives a soft huff as I feel the metal begin to freeze making me hum. I watch as the almost black chain turns white. Standing I grab it with both hands and pull roughly, it whining in protest before giving away. The snap echos through the space around me. I smile as I disconnect the chain leaving the collar.

'Do not touch the collar Akiera. It is tracked.'

I frown confused 'How can you tell?'

'Listen'

Taking a deep breath I slow my heart rate and focus on the sound around me, soon a near silent tick can be heard. As I focus in on it, I find it comes from the collar around my neck. I sigh loudly and speak softly "Fantastic..."

"Isn't it? I had designed it myself"

I jump at the sudden voice. I look out of the cell I see nothing but darkness. Focusing I notice a female standing in the dark. Her shoulder length hair brown and choppy. Her eyes a bright green but holds a darkness in their swampy depth. My body tenses feeling her aura, it was calming yet still set me on edge. I move to the back of my cell as she gets closer.

"Clearly you are going to be a problem. If you want to keep that little life of yours, I suggest you behave and do as told."

I growl at her as I glare. I watch tensely as she opens my cell door and enters. A smirk on her face the entire time as she shuts it unafraid. I growl and shift to my small form, flying to the corner near the roof, I dig my nails into the concrete and watch her half way upside down. She growls at me.

"Get down here lizard"

I growl back at her and push into the corner farther. 'Make me.'

She glares watching me "Caesar, Max, get your asses in her. Now!"

I frown as I watch the two men from before enter my cell. "Get her down. You're both free to do as you please with her once you do."

She leaves as she speaks, the two men smiles at each other before looking at me. I watch them curiously, my corner being almost twenty feet in the air. I watch as the black haired one, Caesar, gets closer to me. He snickers as his body slowly transforms into a large green fire dragon. The power and strength radiates off of his form making me shake and tense.

'He is of Alpha blood Akiera..'

I can hear the fear on Glaciers voice, but I feel none of it. I only feel the anger that consumes me. I jump down and growl to the same size of him. The cell limiting our forms. I lower my head threateningly as he does the same, but spreading his wings. Small bright green designs cover the under skin near the joints of his. Spreading mine, i can see the purple and blue reflect off of them in his darkened eyes. He lets out a loud roar, shaking the room as he lunges at me. I feel as his teeth sink into the flesh below the collar. I growl and claw at his chest, my nails only scraping as his body grows more, over powering mine. I whine softly as his teeth dig in more. I can feel the blood pouring down my neck and chest. I flap my wings slightly before letting them fall. I know I am beat. He hums and licks the blood making me shutter and whines softly at the feeling. When he doesn't stop I link to him hesitantly

'Stop that.'

He growls at me but backs away shaking his head. Slowly I get up shrinking as my body returns to its' original form. I place my hand against the wound and freeze it humming softly at the coldness. I watch as Max guides Caesar out of the cell glaring at me. "We will be returning lizard."

I flinch as he slams the door shut behind him.
