[Chapter Twelve: Pain]

***

The clanging of metal and groans of pain woke me up. I flinched slightly and opened my eyes slowly, which took much energy. I moved my arms to stretch but found them in chains, stuck to the wall.

The cold, heavy metal was tight against my hands and legs. I tried to sit up straighter and saw that they had put a metal clasp around my neck.

I rolled my eyes and huffed slightly, and i knew that if the fire that was now gone from me still worked i could've escaped easily, but no, Waru just had to come out.

'Ive been sleeping for too long dah-ling~'

I bared my teeth and growled deeply, i moved my hands abruptly making the cold metal cut into my flesh. I squeezed my eyes shut and struggled even more, almost begging for the lost flame to spark again.

Suddenly there were loud yells and stomping, i opened my eyes as the cell door creaked open. My eyes flashed black as i shut them and hissed in pain.

"Hello stupid girl."

My head whipped to the side as i snarled. "I'm not stupid you freak..."

I could almost see him smirk under his metal mask. "I'm not the freak girl, you are mistaken for the freak is you."He growled and grabbed my (h/l) (h/c) and yanked me up.

Tears clouded my vision and i glared at him. "I. Despise. You. Freak." I snarled as i spit in his face.

The Shredder slammed me into the wall, as his other hand gripped tightly around my neck. My eyes widened as i gasped for breath. "This is not how you treat your new master~" He smirked.

"Now... I'm going to punish you for misbehaving (Y/n)~" He snarled as the sharp knives shot out of the armor on his hands.

He lifted his free hand up and pressed the knife against my cheek, pressing it down and trailing it to my neck. My eyes squeezed shut once again as the warm blood dribbled down my face and neck.

I bit my lip in pain as he once again grabbed me by the hair and dragged me out of the dingy cell. I winced in pain but kept quiet, not wanting to give him the joy of hearing me in pain. He stepped into a room and slammed me roughly onto a metal chair.

Quickly two foot bots stepped out of the shadows and tied me up quickly, and the lights that were abruptly turned on, destroying anything with darkness that could save me from the fate that would soon take me. Two mutants stepped into the room, one had a torch that flickered with fire, and another had many knives and a... Whip...

I gulped and stared blankly, mentally preparing myself for what was soon to come. "Bring me the torch." Growled the Shredder as the mutant scurried to him and shakily handed it to him. The Shredder practically snatched it out of the mutants hands and marched over to me.

He grabbed my chin and smirked, making me look at him. "What a pretty girl..." He mused to himself as he turned my face around studying me. The Shredder then brought the torch close left side of my face and let it touch me.

I hissed in pain as it the side of my face seemed to melt. The Shredder smirked and pressed it against my face, and i screamed in pain.

It felt like the whole side of my face started to melt and my hair caught on fire. Ever since the power of fire left me it had meant that i was now vulnerable to its heat.

The tears that felt from my eyes only made the fire wither slightly and hiss. Finally after what felt like an eternity he took if off. He smirked and handed the torch back to the mutant, which was now in blood.

"Now (Y/n).. I have a question for you.." I breathed heavily as the left side of my face cried out in pain.

He leaned in close and used a knife to lift my head up. "Where... Are the turtles and Yoshi Hamato?"

My chest lifted and lowered as i breathed heavily, i smirked slightly and croaked. "And.. Why do you.. Think id.. Tell you freak?"

The Shredders eyes narrowed as he let go of my chin, and turned to his 'slaves'. "Bring me the whip... And tie her to that pole." He snapped as they quickly nodded and went off to do what he commanded.

I closed my eyes in pain as the chains were taken off me. "Leo..." I whispered as they dragged me to a metal pole, "Help me please... I-I'm sorry if i hurt y-you.. Please help m-me.."

They wrapped my hands around the pole and chained my hands together, and i leaned my forehead against the cool metal. I heard the whip snap behind me as i took a deep shaky breath.

'This is your punishment dah-ling~'

Then the first strike came, it was a searing pain as i arched my back screaming. I bit my lip so hard that i felt warm blood staining my teeth and pooling into my mouth. I coughed and growled. Waru's mocking voice echoed my empty mind over the snapping of the whip, and the hollow screams that made there way out of my mouth.

'Whose going to save you now (Y/n)?'

My eyes flashed black as my body started to shake, another strike echoed through the air as my shirt was now in rags. The walls that i had taken so long too build were crumbling down, and i hated it.

'Leonardo wont save you dah-ling... He. Hates You..'

I roared and thrashed as the whipping came even faster, and then the voices started to sing. I didn't know where they came from but they grew louder and louder.

'Tick Tock goes the clock her screams echo the cage~

Tick Tock goes the clock she is in too much pain~

Tick Tock goes the clock what has Waru done?~

Tick Tock goes the clock our (Y/n) will be soon gone~

Tick Tock goes the clock Leonardo will soon pay~...

Tick Tock goes the clock the storm rages today~'

And that's when the world caved in and turned black.
