"You touch them again and I'll kill you!" for the prompts! -lemonayyyyyde
I would like to start this by saying I’m so so so so so so so so so so sorry that this took so long. For real. This has been in my inbox kind since I started this blog and I just now got around to it...…..I hope it was worth the wait!
Caelum’s head throbbed as it drooped forward. He and Jalev had been trapped here for three days, as best as he could figure. Jalev had been interrogated and tortured for information six times now. Caelum had only been taken twice. He knew it was a scare tactic; that they were trying to beat Caelum into submission by destroying his friend. Jalev groaned, and Caelum heaved his head back up as his friend woke up.
“Hey. How you feeling?” He asked.
Jalev coughed, and looked up as well. Caelum tried not to wince as he looked his friend’s face. It was battered and bruised, with a nose that was bleeding and clearly broken. One eye was swollen shut, and the other had a large cut above it.
“You know. I’ve felt worse.”
“Well you’ve certainly looked better.”
Both of them laughed a little, until Jalev broke into a fit of painful coughing.
“How long d’you think it’ll be before…”
“Soon. Tonight maybe. You know Nyar, he’s probably been tearing up the whole galaxy looking for us.”
Jalev nodded. “Yeah. I suppose. Do you think--”
The door swung open with a loud clang, and two guards stormed in, and walked towards Jalev, who’s eyes had widened and who was now writhing madly in an attempt to get away from them.
“NO! PLEASE DON’T! TAKE ME INSTEAD!” Caelum shouted, “TAKE ME INSTEAD!”
“Quiet!” One of the guards snapped as they pulled Jalev down from the wall. Jalev hit the floor with a thud, and grunted loudly. The second guard delivered a kick to Jalev’s ribs, and Jalev curled into a ball for protection as the blows fell harder and faster.
“STOP IT!” Caelum screamed, his voice cracking, “PLEASE, STOP!”
The guards ignored him still, they kicked Jalev harder, drawing more pained wails and sobs from them. The first guard grabbed the collar of their shirt and dragged them up off of the floor, pressing them against the wall.
“Either of you pretty little things ready to talk yet?” The guard asked.
Jalev gasped and panted against the grip on their neck. They scrunched up their face, then spit directly into the guard’s face. The guard grunted, pulled Jalev forward, and then slammed them back against the wall several times.
Caelum shouted for him to stop, each time Jalev hit the wall he felt it in his bones. Finally the guard stopped, dropping Jalev to the floor mercilessly. He turned his head to look at Caelum again.
“What about you? Anything you have to say?”
Caelum felt the anger and the rage build up in his chest, burning and clawing its way out.
“You touch them again,” He growled, “and I’ll kill you. I swear to God, I’ll kill you!”
