Angel Monarch

Chapter 71: The Harsh Reality

Sera woke up in a dark room, she was chained down on a table. But something was wrong she couldn't see in the dark. It took her a minute to fully remember everything.

'Ah, yeah I remember. The chains are blocking my abilities and my Essence regen.'

She never heard of chains like this, probably Nightmare and his Mad scientist made it.

Another torture session just ended. Nightmare's favorite type, mental. Sera didn't remember how long ago was the rescue mission. It could have been days, weeks, months or even years. The amount of mental and physical torture she went through, the days just all felt the same. The darkness didn't help either.

"Are you happy with todays session?" Asked Sera from the darkness.

Suddenly a hand touched her arm and moved upward to her shoulder, then stopped on her breast. She had gotten used to the physical torture already. Sera was still angry everytime he touched her anywhere. But after the first time, she learned to endure it.

"Oh, don't worry the session is not over yet. I actually feel very horny, watching those people rape Bea, really made me hungry as well."

Sera didn't even react to his provoking, after hundreds of times he just couldn't say anything to hurt her. She was properly numb to the world.

"Okay, but hurry. I have better things to do." She said in an emotionless voice.

"Ah, yes you are very busy individual!"

Suddenly there was a sound of clothing hitting the ground and something touched her on the leg. Sera turned off her mind throughout the whole thing. She didn't make a sound, even when Nightmare hit her.

This was her life now. Nightmare trying his hardest to break her, while she is trying to keep sane. It was getting harder after each session, she didn't let it show on the outside though.

'If Nightmare found out how close she came to breaking today. He would double his efforts and I won't let that happen. I will not break!'

After about an hour or maybe a minute she didn't know nor cared, Nightmare was done with her and left.

While alone she tried to recall every happy memory she had. Her parents and all the fun they had, her friends at the Academy, her friends after the Desturction and of course Bea.

The only blessing Nightmare gave her without him knowing, is the reminder of her love. All her other memories were becoming blurry. She couldn't recall her parent's voice or her friend's face but Bea, she was perfectly clear in her mind.

"I hope you doing well My Love..." Tears ran down her face as she said it.

The hope has never left her, the hope that they will come for her and save her. But all that was unlikely, they didn't know where she was. Even Sera didn't know where they kept her.

After about an hour or a day the door opened again. It was feeding time. They never arrived on the same time, somtimes they left out days to confuse her even more.

Their were two of them, one pried open her mouth, the other pushed a tube down into her throat and poured something in it. She didn't know what they fed her.

They began feeding her with a tube when she bit of someone's finger. She laughed so hard at the screams.

When feeding was done, the two person cleaned her as best as they could. The water was cold but she was numb to that as well.

After that they left her again. With a big sigh she enjoyed the silence, but she couldn't enjoy it for long.

Suddenly the door burst open and a deep voice called.

"Bring her!"

Then they began to unchain her, put her freedom didn't last long. They put chains on her legs and arms, made of the same material. They put a mask on her head as well, so she couldn't see.

They began walking her to somewhere. After about ten minutes of dragging because her withered legs couldn't keep up, they arrived somewhere.

Suddenly the mask was taken of off her and she had to shield her eyes. The room wasn't particularly bright, but she was in darkness for so long.

"Ah, good you finally arrived! You three, clean her properly and get her dressed, dinner is about to be served!"

'What... What the fuck is going on?... What dinner?... Why am I here?'

Her eyes started to clear up and she saw Nightmare sitting at the head of a very long table. Suddenly someone touched her arm and she jumped from surprise, but because of her chains she fell over.

Sera looked up and saw a terrified young woman, she had a maid dress on, a very revealing one at that. The woman immediately went to her knees.

"Please, have mercy on me My Lady! I... I didn't mean to hurt you... Please... Mercy..." The woman cried while pleading, but Sera didn't care, she didn't understand anything happening.

She climbed to her feet and looked at Nightmare who was smiling at her.

"What game is this?"

Nightmare feined confusion. "Games? What are you talking about My Love?"

Sera didn't try to hide her disgust that those words caused. But before she could say anything, Nightmare stood and walked towards her. He then pulled out a collar from behind his back.

"This is a gift just for you, we can't have you walking around in chains now, can we?" He slowly raised it and closed it around her neck, but something was wrong with it. There was a slight humming coming from it.

Sera didn't care though, Nightmare was close and she could finally move to attack him. But when she prepared to grab him, the collar sent electricity through her whole body. She fell onto the ground clutching her neck.

After a second it stopped, but she could hardly breathe. The pain was unimaginable, but at least she figured out where the humming was coming from.

"Haha, You didn't even wait for me to explain what not to do! Anyway, now that you got a taste I will tell you. The collar activates if you leave these couple of rooms, if you try to attack anyone and if you try to hurt yourself."

He laughed again and continued.

"Now that we are done with that, clean her, clothe her and take off her chains. I won't say it again!" His mood changed in the blink of an eye.

The maids bowed and took Sera to the bathroom. Sera didn't object, she was scared that Nightmare would hurt the maids.

They worked quickly, efficiently and without emotion. Sera didn't care as they cleaned her everywhere, it was actually a nice feeling. Their hands were careful, but also firm, way better than Nightmare.

After about ten minutes she was all clean, they brushed her wet hair and put a dress on her. Sera was stunned by it, the dress was pristine white. It looked very similar to the one from her last nightmare. They didn't give her any footwear, so she walked out of the bathroom and into the dinning room barefoot.

As Sera turned to the table she was shocked, but not because it was full of delicacies. She was surprised because in one of the chairs sat a girl of about 8 years of age. She had white hair and eyes, she smiled at Sera but it didn't reach her eyes.

'So she is still alive.'
