Red Eye's Revenge, Part 2

by Doctor Antarius Prower

It has been a week since my capture. I've been tortured, beat, spat on, dehumanized. I don't think I can hold on much longer. This man, Red Eye, refuses to let go of his grudge. I offered everything to him. I offered my money, the patents to my inventions, even my house. But all he wants is to make me suffer before he kills me. I haven't slept in days; in too much pain to do so. Lost...so much blood. It's in black pools on the floor of my cell. He took all my clothes, well except for my underwear that is. He wants to chip away at my dignity until there's nothing left. But worst of all is what he does with food. He gives me wonderful meals but places them just out of reach. I can't take off my chains, and I can't make any noises lest I get whipped.
"Get up, you dog! You don't get to be comfortable here!" said a voice.
It was him.
He swung the door of the cage open and sneered at me.
"You look terrible. On your feet, now!!"
I staggered to my feet, swaying from side to side as my head swam due to extensive blood loss.
"There we go. You know, lately, I've been growing tired of having to keep you alive. You're just so...boring. I want to continue making you suffer, I really do. I love it. It amuses me to see you grovel at my feet, but it's getting old. One of these days, I might just- BAM -put a bullet in your head," he told me.
He looked me up and down. He saw my half-open eyes, my lacerated and emaciated limbs, he could see my ribs through my chest. My head sagged.
"Hey now..." he began, as he tilted my face up with his finger.
"...don't be sad. It'll all be over soon. Who's my filthy little slave?"
Tears dripped from my eyes.
"I-I am. I'm your filthy little slave."
He chuckled.
"Yes. Yes, you are."
He began to walk out of the cage, but I stopped him.
"Wait, no. P-please punish me, so I can be better. The-the only way I can truly be your obedient slave is if you punish me...without mercy."
My spirit was completely broken. Nothing could save me. I was hopeless.
Red Eye's eyebrow raised.
"I see you've finally accepted your fate. Although I didn't quite expect you to beg."
I fell to my knees with a blank look in my eyes.
"HeheheheHAHAHA!!! Yes! I've broken him! Gehehe... and now I can do what I want, without him fighting back..." he said to himself.
He kicked me in the ribs, forcing me to lay on my stomach. I could barely feel the pain anymore. Must've fried my nerves in the last session. He kept kicking me in the side, each strike from his steel-toed boots cracking my ribs even further. Then he slammed on my back with his foot, which knocked the breath out of me. The stomping seemed to never end as each time I collected myself, the breath would be knocked out of me again.
"I think that's enough for today. I'm exhausted. Get up and clean this blood off the floor. You have two minutes. If it's not done in two minutes, I will personally ram a sword through your abdomen."
Red Eye opened the door to the cell and walked off, leaving me alone once more. I broke down and cried. I couldn't believe I was being reduced to this level of indignity.
The two minutes he gave me whizzed by, and I noticed a tad too late.
Red Eye opened the door and walked towards me.
"You've done nothing since I left you. Absolutely disgraceful. I'm afraid I'll have to make good on my promise."
He looked at his table covered with torture weapons and picked a sword. It was a beautifully crafted longsword, with a blade about four feet long.
"I would say that it's been nice knowing you, but it hasn't," Red Eye said.
He tilted my chin with the tip of the blade and smiled wickedly.
"If only those you love could see you now. Oh, wait. Nobody loves you! And with that, YOU DIE!!"
The hand with the sword in it rushed forward and I closed my eyes. This was the end.
The blade thrust into my abdomen and came out the other end. My eyes turned blank, and blood poured from the wound. In my dying breaths, I uttered one more thing.
"I'm sorry."
My body fell to the side, and that was that.
 
 
"So, what'd you think of it?" I asked Sonic.
He took the virtual reality goggles off his face and sat back in the chair.
"Is this really what goes on in your head all day? Are you really that scared of your past?" he asked.
I looked down and nodded.
Sonic got out of the chair and gave me a tight hug.
"You have nothing to worry about. I've got you. You're safe with me."
I rested my head against his furry chest and sighed. Luckily, that whole ordeal was a simulation, but it still had me thinking. What if, one day, Red Eye actually did kidnap me? One thing's for sure, I could rely on Sonic to help me out.
