Ch. 146 Esdeath

Pov.

-Kara-

The following morning Esdeath was already riding Me and Ursa was trying to get her to back off again

…

I sit up.

It was already late. I wrap My arms around her waist as she pulls My head into her tits

Looks like there's no point making us fight.

The bets are all one sided now. We both annihilate our opponents and if we take each other out then they'll only lose what they would've got from selling us.

"Who is she?" Esdeath huffs after Ursa pouts and gives her a dirty look

"She's… My sister, I think."

"You think?" She asks we watch Ursa grumble and play with the money laying on the ground

"She has the same name. It's… a little complicated."

"Oh… yeah?" She smiles

Before we could keep at it I felt a sharp pain in My abdomen that came after a gunshot

I look down at her abdomen

The bullet went through and through before burying itself inside Me

"Kgh." I grit My teeth

She slumps in My arms before they came in here and beat us to the ground

…

Hours later

…

I look around

Another cage

My wrists were chained as well as My neck so I could barely sit without it tugging too much on My throat

"How long have we been here?" I ask Esdeath

"They bought us. The pair for a hundred fifty million. Said you were worth a hundred."

"Yeah? First thing they do is put a bullet in My gut, huh?" I rest my hand on the wound

"Yeah, not entirely sure what that was about."

"Ursa, was it? They threw her in as a package deal."

"Yeah? So what?"

"Thought you might care." She shrugs

"It's… whatever."

I look up at the ceiling

"Yeah? That's not what they said."

"What?"

"I heard she was getting dicked down, and you almost died trying to protect her."

"That's not what happened."

"Yeah? Then what was it?" she smiles

…

"What about you?"

"I was out hunting and I came back to find my village had been raided. The following day they came back for any survivors while I was burying the dead"

"That sucks." I scoff

"Don't pity me" she turns her back to Me "They all died because they're weak, only the strong survive, it's only natural" she sniffs

-Days later

"How long do you think it's been?" she huffs

It's hot… No food… No water, it was getting tough, even for Me.

"two… three weeks?" she licks her dry lips

"Is that right?" I wipe my face

"You know you sleep a lot" she lays on her side

Hours go by without a single sound but the echo of our rumbling stomachs down the hall

We hear movement down the hall

Neither of us really had the strength to go see what it was but we soon found out

It was another prisoner… dead they were dragging his corpse out covered in blood and missing most his fingers an arm and was split open from his stomach

I look back at Esdeath

His cellmate probably couldn't take it and devoured him alive

She looks away with a sick look on her face

"Kyakyaha." Someone laughs down the hall

Hours later went by when I woke up suddenly

After a water drop hit my forehead

Moments later water pouring all over me

I opened wide, swallowing all the water that I could

"Wh-what-" her eyes widen

She wastes no time trying to get to my side where it was pouring through a crack in the ceiling, but couldn't with the chains holding her back

"I-I can't" she tries shaking the chains off "I don't reach. Dammit why?!" She cries

She gives up and falls on her knees

I watch that determined look on her face turn into pure hopelessness

I walk over to her with a hand full of water

She looks up at Me holding my hands as I poured the water into her mouth

"I-I'm sorry I don't know what got-" she apologizes

"I'm not doing this for you."

If I'm going to get out. I'll be needing her for sure

"Just drink."

"Right" she whimpers, drinking as much as she could

After that it rained non stop for who knows how many weeks straight till it finally stopped

I couldn't feel my fingers and all the strength from my body had disappeared from how much I was starving

"Six… weeks" Esdeath shivers

"Feels way longer than that" I huff

"C-can I ask you something" she asks just as the cell doors creek open

We both look up, startled to see the four guards in riot gear standing before us

"What is it?" I ask

"On your feet" the female smacks Me in the face with her AR

We do as we were told

She examines My body and My wound as her partners did the same with Esdeath

After coming to the conclusion that we've pretty much healed from our bullet wounds they beat us into the ground, again

I open my eyes to Esdeath holding something in my face

I carefully sit up

The chains are gone?

That would explain why they knocked us out

I look up at Esdeath… bread? I take it from her hand

"I know right" she giggles and sits beside me with the tray of food they had left us

"Mmm" The satisfaction of finally putting something in our stomachs hit

We just sat there, silently sharing the same meal intended for only one of us

I'm assuming they expected us to fight for this little tray of food

"We're being watched" she says under her breath

"Mhm" I nod. "See how well we would do in these conditions" I add

Something's coming

We aren't just prisoners. They had us here for some reason

"So, Kara. I wanted to ask you something" she sits up

"What?"

"I was just wondering how you got those scars" she shrugs

"Tortured" I shrug. "And this one" I outline the largest one across My chest "Acnologia"

"Acnologia?" She sits up "a-as in the black dragon?"

"You know of him?"

"Of course I do, there's countless legends in hundreds of cultures about him. Some say he's a god, others say he was a human that became a dragon after messing with forbidden magic"

…

"So how'd he do it?" she begins outlining the scar on my chest

I shrug

She sits back down across from me "he took everything from you didn't he?"

…

"Nah… just…"

…

Ignia.

…

Not like I care though…

…

I sit back, powerless against the memories we spent together flooding back to Me

How he so foolishly cared for me all those years

…

Months later-

Neither of us knew how we would get out

It wasn't like they come in here often and that one times they did we were too weak to try to fight back

I look up through the little crack in the roof

It was already night

"Esdeath" I nudge her

"Huh?" She shakes her head

"S-sorry" she gets to her feet

"So how are you planning on doing this?" I stretch

"I'm not sure. I fell asleep thinking about it" she shakes her head "chances are, the next time they come in here is to feed us with that little thing but we'll be too weak to do anything by then"

She walks over to the cell door, checking for any movement down the hall

"Ugh" she sits back down "I'm hungry already" she sighs

I look up

The crack

In the ceiling

"Come here" I check down the hallway before we go on with this

"What is it?" she takes my hand

I grab her waist

"Hey what are you-?" She asks before I sit her on my shoulders

"Try to break that" I whisper

"What?" She looks up "Yeah alright" she tries wiggling the brick out of place "I-it won't budge"

She smacks it before the room rumbles making me lose my balance dropping us both to the floor as the ceiling crumbled

"You did it"

She smiles, reaching for my hand before an alarm goes off and you could hear the guards shouting down the hallway

I grab her, quickly throwing her over my shoulders a she'd pull herself out

I was about to jump right behind her before I heard Ursas cry echo down the hall

…

My body froze for whatever reason. And I couldn't possible see Myself just running away like this

"Alright give me your hand" she reaches down

"I'm not going."

"What?! You're kidding right?! You said you're not even sure she's your sister, so why even bother?!"

"What?! It's not that it-."

"Then what is it?! Why do you want to stay?!"

…

She's right…

This is insane, even so I have to…

I have to know

If it really is her.

"Fine" she looks back down at me "I-I'll meet you under the little bridge about four to five miles west of here"

"Yeah whatever"

She looks away, still hesitant to leave, but finally finds the courage to leave me behind

"Okay" I try thinking of how I'd go about this

"Hurry up give me the keys" I turn around as at least five guards in riot gear rushed into the cell, cornering me

I duck under the first guys swing, grabbing the back of his helmet and I slam him into the the wall

I body slam the next one and stomp on his face as I step over him taking the bat he was carrying and I smash it into the next guys face

The last guy charges at Me

I back up, guarding my sides from the monstrous power he put behind his fists

With every blow I deflected I step back still trying to figure out how to get around him when I trip on a guard I left laying on the floor

"Dammit" I grunt as I hit the ground

I look around, trying to find something I can beat him with but he lunges at me, ready to pound my face into the ground but stops as I put the barrel of this lifesaving 9mm I found I was laying on

"I'll blow your fuckung head off." I smile

"Hmh*" he smirks "not bad kid"

I push him back, slowly standing up.

"Where is she" I ask calmly, trying to catch my breath

I push the barrel to his forehead

…

"Shoot me"

I lower the weapon and I put a bullet in his thigh

"Hmm" he grits his teeth

"So?" I ask again

"Damn you got some fat fucking balls kid" he chuckles

"Hmm" he leans back, onto the wall behind him

"Your senses have been dulled. That was an audio recording, you fool."

"What?"

"Then where-."

"She's fine. So long as you cooperate."

…

"Tch."

Whatever.

She's not worth all this trouble

I look up.

…

I scratch My head. Still pondering on leaving or not

…

"Heh*" he smirks

"Shut up" I pull the trigger

The gun goes off but nothing came out

"Oh?"

You gotta be fucking Me.

This thing only had a single round and a blank?

I realize a bit too late when I suddenly felt his heavy fist digging into my chest obliterating my ribs and sends me crashing into the cell across

I crawl back, trying to sit up but the pain was unbearable

"Hehheh*" he chuckles, walking over as if I didn't just shoot him in the leg "what's wrong kid" he reloads the gun

"Nnkk*" I grunt, giving up on trying to sit up as he stood before me

I would have never thought this guy was holding back that much

"Kgeh." I smile

"Boom" he laughs as a loud snap is heard echoing down the hallway

I feel an overwhelming pain where he shot my thigh returning the favor I did on him

"Hurts like a bitch doesn't it"

"Hmm" I grunt rolling over as I tightly grip my thigh trying to stop the bleeding "fuck you"

"No, you" he chuckles before he stomps my head into the ground
