DISCORDIA

[ 36 ] drawn quartered

       The disfigured man merely stared back at her defiantly and she sighed, finding the scene to be hauntingly familiar. "Okay, let's do this then," she mumbled almost boredly, leaning forwards and reaching out with a hand to position her thumb behind the man's jaw underneath his ear. She pressed, hard, and he suddenly let out a cry of pain which he smothered by gritting his teeth together.

       "No?" She stood back up and cocked her head to the side, only to receive a glare back. "Sure then." She took out the salts again, pouring out a pinch onto her hand, and then rubbing it into his head wound. The man hissed out in pain, biting down on his own tongue to keep himself from making a sound. She punched him across the jaw. "Don't do that."

       "Man, you're such a bitch," Murphy commented with a titter.

       "Why do I find that so ironic?" she questioned rhetorically, then pulled out her knife. "Maybe he doesn't need his other eye too."

       "I don't know anything about your friends," the Grounder finally spat out.

       Jinny exchanged unsurprised glances with the others. "So he does talk," she stated, holding her hand out to Finn who passed her Clarke's watch. "Where did you find this?"

       "Outside your camp."

       She backhanded him. "Try again."

       "The camp you abandoned."

       Bellamy took a step forward, taking the watch from Jinny like a tag race. "We're gonna do this again," he told the man. "And this time, you're gonna stop screwing with us." He waved the watch in front of the Grounder's face. "Where did you find this?"

       "I told you," he began again, baring his rotten teeth. "I found it outside your camp."

       "He's lying," Finn hissed. "She would never take it off voluntarily."

       "Murphy," Jinny called. "What did they do to you at the prison camp?"

       "They listened to me scream as they tore my nails out," he answered nonchalantly. "Cut me and beat me up until I bled."

       "I can do worse than that," she said, lowering her voice menacingly. "I've done far worse."

       Finn took the watch from Bellamy and shoved it in front of the captive's face again. "Where is the girl who was wearing this watch?!" His voice increased forcefully with each demanding syllable until it reached a sharp yell.

       "I never saw a girl," the Grounder said adamantly.

       "Another lie," Murphy drawled. "Maybe you should stop asking nicely." He held up a wrench.

       Jinny smirked lightly, taking the tool from him. "How 'bout one last chance?"

       "Where are our friends?" Bellamy asked. "You took 'em, we know you did, just tell us where!"
