"No one likes having others point out their weaknesses. But no matter how many weaknesses you may have, there's always strong points that overcome those weaknesses."
Rose's POV:
I felt so helpless. I couldn't do anything as I am now tied up against this stupid post, watching as Luke came up to Harry, who he had trapped in his shadows.
I've never felt so utterly useless in my life. Here I am, tied up as my love is being mocked, right in front of me. I want to know who Lucy is, why she was so important to Harry, and why remembering her would make him cry.
Harry never cries, he never has. Not in front of me though. I wish I could see into his brain to know what troubles and pains him so that I could fix it. Nothing I do is going to fix this situation now. Which is absolutely horrible and painful for me to watch.
I watched in horror as Luke brought his hand up, punching Harry directly in the face. Harry's head snapped to the side with the impact, not being able to fight back. I struggled in my binds, desperately trying to get out so that I could do something to stop Luke.
Tears came to my eyes as I saw more demons gang up on Harry, beating him and laughing in his face while he just stood there and took it, not being able to fight back. The fire that had overcome his body had faded away, his energy being drained away from him as he was beaten.
"STOP!!" I scream, making Luke turn towards me with a grin on his face. "And why would I do that? The whole purpose of this is to make you break. We've already broken him, it's time for you to face the same pain." he tells me and tears slip down my face.
"Leave him alone!" I yell again, not caring about if I was 'broken' or not by Luke. They needed to get away from Harry, and they needed to leave him alone NOW. I could take a lot of things, but seeing him hurt was something that was nearly unbearable to me.
"Once the two 'heroes' of the Kingdom of Light have fallen, it'll be easy to take over. We can't have anyone in our way, and so far you two are the only ones who stand up against us." Luke muses with a wry smile and I grit my teeth together.
"You really think that we'll give up this easily?" I shout and he laughs. "It is this easy. Because if you two are broken, mentally and physically, you won't be able to do anything against us. You'll be useless." he says and fakes a gasp, putting a hand to his head.
"But then again, you always have been useless, haven't you Rose? Letting Harry do all the dirty work for you while you stand by." he says and tears build up in my eyes, blurring my vision.
"Stop it." I cry weakly, knowing that he was exactly right. He was pointing out every single flaw against me and using it to break me. Just like he wants me to.
"Why? Why go this far just to do this? Why couldn't you just kill me!!" I shout and Luke grins. "Oh, Princess, you don't get it yet, do you?" he teases me, snapping his fingers and the demons stop hitting Harry, walking away from him and he's left gasping for air, bleeding and bruised. He's been hurt so badly that he isn't healing immediately.
"Torture is a much more convenient way to do things, especially to you. You've already faced torture, so you'd do anything to get away from it, wouldn't you? Even wishing death upon yourself. But that's not what's going to happen. I'm going to make you suffer ten times more than Seth or the others ever did." he growls and fear envelopes my body, making him smile.
"See? This is what I like to see. I like to see the fear in your eyes when you realize that there is nothing you can do to stop me." he says and laughs, an evil, insane laugh that makes me shiver. He's lost his mind, he really has.
"I go to this extent to make sure that you don't have the courage or the mental stability to ever stand up against us again." he continues and my emotions begin to swirl out of control again, not being able to stand what he's saying.
He's planning on torturing Harry and I. He's going to demolish us mentally and beat us physically. He's going to crush every amount of hope we possibly have so that he can take over Dragmere.
My body begins to shake, tears falling down my face as I look at the ground with wide eyes, small sobs falling from my lips. "No." I cry, trying not to believe what he's telling me. But I know it's true, it has been true since the very beginning. He's had this planned from the start.
Reyna!! Is this not a bad enough situation?? I need to help! I have to get out of here!! I scream at her internally, hoping that she can hear me. I can't touch my pendant, I can't reach it. I need to do something though, I can't just sit by like this anymore and watch as Luke tortures both Harry and I.
Luke walks back over to Harry, who is still recovering from his first beating. "Harry!!" I cry out, my emotions building up inside me overflowing, making my entire body shake. I've never felt so out of control or so helpless, my emotions don't know how to handle this.
Luke punches Harry again, this time making me scream out. "Rose, don't watch this. This...this is all he wants. He just wants you to break. Don't let him do this to you." Harry says, his voice pained but still angry. The sound of his voice breaks my heart, making it crack in two.
"Harry try to get away from him!!" I yell out desperately, tears flowing down my eyes as I struggle against my bonds, trying to get out of them.
"Rose, I can't. He has me trapped." he says, almost like he's given up. No, no Harry would never give up. He's the one who always says that we can't give up. WHY IS HE TALKING LIKE THAT??
My struggles became desperate, thrashing around against the post and screaming for Luke to stop, for Harry to get away, for someone to do SOMETHING.
I can't get a hold of my emotions, they are completely out of control. I slam my head back against the post, it making a cracking sound from the impact. My head was pounding but that was the least of my concerns right now.
I thought you said you would help me Reyna!!! I scream internally, but I know that she won't reply. I can't talk to her unless I touch my pendant, and right now I can't.
Luke releases Harry from his bonds, letting him fall to the ground in pain. "Harry run! Get away!" I scream out, hoping that he would just go away, leave me here and find somewhere safe to go. He just couldn't be here anymore. I couldn't stand to see him get hurt any longer.
Luke laughs, kicking Harry in the side and Harry falls on his side, gasping for air. "He doesn't have the energy to run away. I'm sure I've broken at least six of his ribs!" Luke says and the trembling of my body increases. Something inside me is building up and I don't know what it is, but its making me feel like I'm too contained.
I feel claustrophobic right now, I can't just stay like this anymore.
Luke grabs Harry's arm, picking him up and throwing him across the rocks. I watch in horror as Harry tumbles across the rocks, his body getting beat up by the force of the rocks. "No!!" I scream, the feeling inside me building up even more.
"You know? Maybe I should just kill him off. Then Rose would be left on her own, and we all know that she can't do anything." he says and my eyes widen and I feel rage explode within me, along with the rest of my emotions.
Luke takes out a knife, walking over to Harry and that does it for me. "STOP IT!!" I screech, the feeling within me growing even stronger.
Suddenly, the ground around me begins to shake, more so than my body. The wind picks up, swirling around me and blowing my hair straight up, almost as if it couldn't touch my body anymore.
The post breaks in half, and the ropes that held me down disappear, almost like they melted away from my body. I open my eyes, not realizing that I had them closed, and see a dark aura surrounding me, shaking everything it touched.
Luke hadn't paid attention to me, though, and I saw as he held the knife up above his head, about to come down on Harry.
The energy surrounding me exploded into the air as my emotions broke free from my body.
"NOO!!"
What do you think happened to Rose? And better yet, what do you think is going to happen? I know that last chapter was sad with Harry's past, but it was about time that everyone found out. So, besides that, please let me know what you think about this chapter! I'd love to know! Please continue to Comment and Vote!
