I sat on the stairs, it had been almost an hour and neither Damien or Brand had returned, but I was not moving a single inch from this step. My hands shook as my foot tapped impatiently on the floor, a sick feeling growing in my stomach with every minute that passed.

I was furious, Brand had actually used his powers on me. Whilst the circumstances were'nt great, i couldnt believe he would actually to do that me.

As I twirled my knife in my hands the door finally swung open and I immediately sprung to my feet. As it opened a bloodied Damien walked in and I gasped my hand going over my mouth bile rising in my throat as I took a step forward, however halting when Damien shot me a clear warning look, almost as if he had told me don't you fucking dare.

I frowned as Brand walked in close behind his eyes meeting mine as he walked in and I looked down, my hand fell from my face as I saw his bloodied hands explaining why Damien was in such bad shape.

My eyes widened as I walked forward, "Sit" I said to them both as they looked at me funny, as if I was insane,

"I'm not fucking joking, both of you sit your asses down right now" I said as they quietly sat down on the stairs and I rushed out of the room grabbing a bowl of water, a few bandages and a couple washcloths.

I walked back in as I placed it on the floor and knelt next to them, Brand and Damien grumbled as they looked at me and I folded my arms. "Both of you shut up. This is my fault, now let me do this quickly before anyone sees" I said quietly as they shut their mouths,

I started with Brands hands first, cleaning most of Damien's blood off of them before discarding the wash cloth, as his cuts began to heal as I turned to Damien and Brand let out a low growl.

I turned to him furious as he glared back at me, "Don't be a fucking child. Nothing is going to happen, and we aren't alone. I'm not letting him walk around in front of our allies right now looking like this, we need to keep morale up. If you hadn't of done this, I wouldn't be here having to clean this up" I said gesturing to him as I turned back around and slowly began to clean up Damien's face, his eyes trained on the floor and mine on the cloth,

However as I cleaned him up I could feel tingles once again running through my body at the contact and I decided to finish the job as quickly as I could before any sign of my arousal was obvious, that was the last thing I needed.

"I can't believe you would do that" I said as I looked at Brand glaring who looked away, "He did nothing I already said it was me. We need everyone we can get now and you two are being stupid over a little mistake. It's not like anything was going to happen, I am yours, and nobody else's" I said as I saw Damien slyly cringe at my words as I put the cloth down,

I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair, "This is ridiculous, acting like children, if you need someone to punish Brand it should have been me, not beating him up and completely ruining his face" I growled as his head snapped to me and he narrowed his eyes,

"You know what your right you should be punished" he said coldly as I frowned and stood up discarding the cloth.

Brand stood up quickly as he quickly grabbed my arm and walked me away. "What are you doing put me down" I said as I looked a Damien, concern written all over his face as he watched me get dragged away, however not moving as to not make the situation worse.

"Brand let go of me. Your hurting me Brand" I said again as I fought against his grasp on my arm, however doing nothing as he continued to drag me up and around the halls.

As we reached my room he swung the door open and pushed me in. "You want to be punished, then be punished. I don't want to see you; dinner will be brought to you and no one will visit you" he said as I turned around shock on my face.

"What the hell is wrong with you? What I'm now your prisoner again?" I said as he folded his arms watching me, no emotion on his face, his look sending a shiver through me as I recoiled from him,

"You don't understand what you could have done Lillian, to me. How could you do that to me?" he barked as I felt my heart crack,

"I'm sorry Brand, nothing was going to happen I swear, I dont know what happened" I managed to whisper out as he looked up at me, clenching his fists as he glared,

"You don't even know how much damage you could have done, what you are to me, what you mean to me and then I see you with him! Of all people him. He ruined my life, he ruined everything and the only thing I need, that I want he has to have, CANT YOU SEE WHATS HAPPENING!" he yelled as I flinched at his words,

"Brand, it really wasn't like that, you know I would never do anything like that, I am yours" I breathed as his eyes flashed,

"Well Lillian it doesn't seem that way does it now" he said breathing deeply as I shook my head looking at the ground, "What is wrong with you, why are you being like this? This isn't you, you aren't meant to treat me like this, to be nasty and cold. I already said nothing happened and nothing was going to" I growled as his eyes flashed again,

"You have no right to tell me what I am Lillian, when you are the one pressed up against my brother, practically cheating on me, lets not forget this is right after you denied me to mark you!" he spat as I frowned, hurt rushing through me at the malice in his words.

"What the fuck!" I exclaimed as I took a step forward, "you can't fucking talk to me like that Brand, and I didn't fucking cheat. It was just a mistake, it's just something I don't understand, but I've never acted on it, and I never will" I said as he turned his fists clenched,

"I'm done with this conversation Lillian. Maybe quiet reflection for a few days will let you see what you have done, and to realize what the consequences could have been" he said as the door locked behind him and I heard him walk away, I ran to the door as I hit it with my fists,

"Brand, let me out now, you arsehole, let me out now. This isnt funny, you let me out this instant. YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME!!" I screamed as I took a step back, slamming the door again and again.

"LET ME OUT!" I screamed over and over with no hope, he wasn't coming back, I had truly fucked up.

I walked away from the door as I rubbed my sore fists, aching from punching the door, I looked around the room as I evaluated my punishment.

I walked to the door trying the door handle again and again with no hope. I tried kicking and running into it before realising nothing was going to happen, it was not budging. I walked into the middle of the room as I looked around frantically,

I ran to the window as I tried opening it, attempting some kind of freedom. However, the window refused to open, as if he had locked me in a tiny bubble.

I yelled out in anger and panic as I ran round the room trying all the windows, all being locked, I walked back into the middle of the room as I turned round and round looking at the four walls.

My breathing came out fast as I began to panic, being stuck in this room. I felt as if I was suffocating, the air was slowly draining out of my lungs and pressure began to build in my head.

I fell to my knees as I placed my hands on the floor as I began to hyperventilate. On all fours I began taking deep breaths trying to steady myself, however as much as I tried the walls felt as if they were closing in on me, I had to get out, I couldn't do it.

The memories of my childhood punishments began running through my mind as I clenched my eyes shut, suddenly I was back in the mountains. "No, no, no. let me out. Let me out. I promise I'll be good, please dont leave me in here" I cried out as the images of the tiny box from my past appeared in my mind.

"Let me out of the box, please." I screamed as I began crying, tears streaming down as the memories of being trapped in a box in the mountains began running through my mind, and I desperately gasped for air, clawing at my throat and chest.

Pressure built in me as my breathing sped up and I felt a growing pressure in my head, I clutched my body as I bent over, finally letting out a blood curdling scream as I flung my arms out to the side, red power exploding from my body and completely filling the room.

This was nothing like before, it was stronger.

I was stronger.

The door flew off its hinges as the walls cracked and the windows exploded, making the whole castle shake as I felt the floor beneath me tremble, the red power covering the building.

The pressure flew out of me as red power filled the room, surrounding me as I fell back onto my hands, and I let out a deep breath feeling dizzy, black splotches appearing in my vision.

I turned around as I saw the door was gone and I sighed in relief, air rushing back into my lungs. Stumbling to the door I clutched the frame holding my head as I looked around, the hallway turning fuzzy as my eyesight blended together and I gasped for breath.

I walked along the halls towards the main hall as I felt more energy drain from me and the castle in front of me faded in and out of black. I needed to get out of here. Away from the room. Away from the box.

Away from the nightmare.

As I turned on the balcony into the main room I saw everyone rush into the main hall below me, their voices overlapping as I struggled to stay on my feet.

"What the hell just happened, are we under attack? Where is Lillian?" Hyde frantically asked as everyone else shrugged looking around and checking everyone was okay,

I walked up the banister slowly as I took deep breaths, "I'm sorry" I mumbled feeling my eyes roll back, my grip loosening on the side as the energy drained from my body, everyone's heads snapping to me as I swayed.

"I couldn't help it. I couldn't contain it. It was the box; I was just so scared. I was trapped, in the mountain, the box" I mumbled incoherently as I saw black and fell over the side of the banister plummeting towards the floor.

The last thing I saw was Damien rushing to catch me as I fell, Bethany's screams filling my head.
