Zurii had been staring at the unconscious demon for the past few minutes, a part of him wanted to help and make sure he was okay. However, the thought of being inches away from the demon sent a shiver down his spine. As it was, his wings barely stopped twitching, his feathers felt like they had been flared up for hours.
He glared at Sean, watching the man lock a similar chain around Ravana's ankle that would effectively trap him here. The man stood up as he finished and approached Zurii, a cruel smile on his face.
"I'm sure Dr. Isaac can't wait to test some of his theories on you two."
----------------------------
His body tensed up, each joint locking in its position, refusing to release. Then his body went limp, ragged, aching breaths forcing their way out of his lungs.
Dr. Isaac's eyes lit up as he watched the scene unfold, quickly writing down the findings in his journal. He turned to Sean and nodded, excited to watch the scene play out again. Sean smiled, almost too excitedly as he adjusted the power on the battery and flipped the switch again.
The jumper cables attached to each of his wings sent another strong jolt of electricity through his body, his wings stiffened as a choked scream left his lips. Every feather felt like it was aflame, overwhelming his body to a point where he could barely remember to breathe.
The chains on his wrists and ankle didn't do much to help his situation, it only served to burn his skin, making it red to the point that the smell of his flesh burning filled his nose. The feeling was what he could only imagine being banished to the Abyss felt like, an intense burning sensation that couldn't be stopped.
The battery was shut off again and Sean knelt down beside the captive angel, taking the being's chin in his hand.
"Ready to cooperate?" Sean asked flatly.
"Ya…. You think… thi..nk… I'll break from that??... turn…. Turn it up." Zurii managed to challenge with a small grin.
Sean and the Doctor exchanged an annoyed look before the battery was turned to its highest setting. The soft click of the switch being flipped was drowned out by a raw anguished scream.
Ravana was just waking up, his head pounding from being slammed into the ground. His head was foggy from all of it and he couldn't help but feel disoriented by the gray concrete floor. He tried to remember exactly what happened, he knew he had been summoned to earth.
The demon pushed himself up on weak arms, his head spinning and vision blurring almost immediately. As he took a moment to regain focus his head finally registered a burning sensation. It was dull as he first noticed it, but as he really paid attention to it the burning only felt worse.
Soon his leg felt like it had been set aflame, something he was used to, but this was worse. He turned his head quickly to find the source of his pain, his vision spiraling into blurred grays. Ravana managed to squint and see a chain wrapped around his leg, he groaned and reached out and wrapped his fingers around it to pull it off.
His hand jerked back away from the burn of the metal, a scowl forming on his face that showed off his sharp teeth.
"Why does it have to be silver?..." He muttered to himself.
His grumbling was interrupted by the door to the basement opening, an overwhelming itching sensation crawling under his skin began. Ravana watched as Sean and Dr.Isaac entered the basement, the completely limp form of the angel over Sean's shoulder. The taller man carelessly dumped the angel onto the concrete, a tangle of feathers that landed with a thump.
"Don't you worry, Ravana. You're next for a little testing. We'll come back to retrieve you, don't go anywhere." Sean taunted as he reattached the chain to Zurii's ankle.
As they left, the demon could smell smoke, different from the burning smell from his leg. He inched a bit closer to the limp… dead? angel, curiosity getting the best of him so much so that he could just ignore the itchy feeling.
The tips of Zurii's feathers smoldered softly, singed and blackened from whatever the pair of humans had done to him. As Ravana looked closer he could just barely make out the feathers twitching from his presence. A tiny bit of relief crossed his mind, relief that the angel wasn't dead, but why did he care?
He folded his wings tightly against his back again, finding comfort in the feeling. Now the worry set in as he waited to see what the humans were planning to do to him. If it was anything bad, he was likely to end up like the angel. Or worse.
