"We've been doing this for days on end, aren't you tired of getting hit?" Tobias slashed Dahlia's back with a whip, giving it a minute to heal before hitting her. He wasn't doing it to harm her because she would heal anyway, he just wanted her to feel the pain each time and not know where it was from. "Answer me." He struck her once more.
Dahlia didn't say a word. She hadn't opened her mouth to speak to anyone since three months ago and that annoyed Tobias who wanted to use her powers to his advantage and to do that, she had to talk. She had to be broken to the point of wanting to help me so he could control her... but that would never happen. Dahlia would rather die than let that happen but Tobias wouldn't let that happen. He needed her powers and he needed her alive for that to happen.
