22: Into the Shadows Once more

Soon enough, we arrived at the familiar, crumbling building in the over world. How's Carson gonna come up here? How will they find me?

"Sir-"

"Shut up!" Im smacked in the face with a electrical whip. I scream, feeling the blood run down my forehead. After being shoved into another cell, and try to access Jack and Carson again.

(('Can you hear me??'))

No response. I curse under my breath and stand up. I have powers right? Let's put them to use. I look up. Damn. No window. I shake out my wings when suddenly a spark flys out from them, making me squeal and press up against the wall. I squint and pick up the spark. It burns me and a hiss sound fills my ears. A flash explodes behind my eyes and I drop like a stone.

"No funny business, kid." A guard growls, whipping my back.

"Take her to the TR."

I look up, blinking away my pain. What's the TR?

"What's that?" I ask. Nobody responds. "Hey! I asked you a question." I hiss. I'm smacked in the head, making my head whip to the side in a painful way. My body hurts to much to fight back. I'm chained to a wall, my feet not touching the ground, as someone steps in front of me with another whip. He grins. That's when it hits me. The man who's about torture me, is-

"Drake." I whisper. He chuckles.

"You've been a bad girl, Taylor. You'll have to pay." He says, dragging the whip across the floor.

"Drake, don't do this!" I scream. He frowns.

"Don't act innocent here! You left me alone in that awful place!!" He screams. I glare at him, square in the eyes.

"So that's what this is? Just a revenge plot? You're the one who cheated on me!!" I scream. He raises the whip and smacks it across my bullet wound. I cough and gag at the same time, making blood soar from my mouth.

"You shut up!!! You belong to me, I will do as I please without your interference!" He growls. I shake my head.

"I belong to nobody." I whisper. He shouts and raises the whip again, and I scream at the top of my lungs.

I open my eyes. The room is spinning and bright lights shine on me. Drake is cleaning his whip. This torture....just kill me now.

(('Hang in there, Tay!'))

My eyes snap open. Oh my god, it was Jack. I cough. By now there's a pool of blood on the ground, and blood dripping from my body, onto the wall. I'm to weak to even move. This is gonna leave so many scars...

(('Jack...')) I think to him. I can feel his pain. (('Is Carson with you..?')) I ask.

(('No, he can't come up here.'))

It's working...he's coming to save me. (('I'm already here.')) He says.

Suddenly, the door is knocked down.

"J-Jack." I whisper. He glances at me, and his eyes widen. I tear up, fresh blood dripping from my mouth. "Jack, help me." I whimper. A shadow by the window claims my attention. I squint.

"Carson??" Jack whispers. Carson leaps on Drakes Back, knocking Drake into the light. Jack blinks. "Drake...?!" He throws his hands up. "What the hell is going on!?" He demands. Carson glares at Jack.

"Just unchain her!!" He hisses. Jack instantly breaks me free, but all I do is fall to the ground. I can't move. And quite frankly, I don't want to. I just want to lie here.

"Cmon ,Tay, get up." Jack whispers. I exhale, my wings going limp. "Please!" He begs. I manage to get onto my hands and knees before a gun cocks next to my head.

"Move and she dies." Drake growls. Everyone freezes.

"Just run, guys, just go." I sigh. Carson growls. "No, I'm not leaving you here." He says. I look at him. His jaw is set but his eyes are brimmed with tears. "I refuse."

I smile at him. Heat rushes into my cheeks and light surrounds me. Now, I start to float. What's going on?
