Hysteria.

Her eyes darted to the right, as the lights flickered and finally died.

3 months...3 months she'd been left here, and she couldn't take it anymore.

She wasn't crazy, and she knew it...she couldn't remember the last time she woke up and wasn't forced to take pills, the nurses watching her with every turn. She'd been framed dammit! FRAMED....she knew she hadn't made up the voices inside her head...she KNEW that there was SOMETHING inside of her...she just didn't know what it was yet.

Her fierce green eyes watched as the shadows began their subtle dance across the walls, inviting her in, urging her to touch them, but she only drew herself closer against the cold steel of the door with the nonmoving shadows.

"Leave me alone..." She said softly, watching as the shadows moved to the other walls, and laughing began, inside her head. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She shouted, trying to make herself as small as possible so the shadows couldn't get to her. How she hated the shadows...They never stopped...

She hadn't slept in weeks. They were waiting for her to finally pass out in exhaustion, but she knew that one of those pills was caffeine.

They were studying her...like a lab rat...and they were testing...testing on all of the ''patients'' at this asylum. She knew good and well what was going on. Most of the people there were like her. All battling with their own very real demons.

She knew she had to get out of here. Nothing would keep her here any longer.

They were only getting closer.

Catriona and Seth--Broken, pt. 2

Cat's back hit the wall and she gasped out in pain as old wounds were suddenly revisited. As she slid down the wall, her skin was torn roughly, and she bit her lip...she wouldn't scream again...not again.

He grinned, fangs bared. "Ah...lass, ready to come to me yet?"
"NO!" She shouted, spitting at him before pushing herself away, looking for something, anything to help her.

Nothing.

He growled, coming towards her, and grabbed her by the throat, the hatred in his eyes blazing as he once again slammed her into it. He pinned her their by her shoulders. "My my...look at the pretty now..."

She was quite a sight...naked, bruised and broken..all she wanted was her brother..but since that time...he'd never let them see each other. On her face, underneath her blazing green eyes was a layer or two of dirt, tear tracks the only clean spot.

He laughed and licked her cheek softly, smirking a bit. "Oh how you've fallen...My angel..." She squirmed, kicking him hard to the stomach.

A soft 'oomph' came out of him before he dropped her, and Cat ran to the door, trying to get out, and managed after a few tries to open the door a bit, only to have a stronger force push it back closed.

Cat's eyes widened, and she looked backwards. "Please..." She said, and closed her eyes, bracing herself for impact.

He grabbed her, picking her up, and pushed her into a wall...literally. Her small body was pushed by brute force through the rock, and he laughed.

Catriona screamed as she felt something big inside her break, and everything went black.

Seth woke up to his sister's short lived screams, and his eyes narrowed. "Catriona..." He muttered, sitting up and then sighing, chained to the walls. "Damn.." He growled, looking at his wrists. They'd been bloodied as he strugged, and he would end up scraping them raw. He got up, and closed his eyes. If onlyhe could get his powers back. He looked out towards the moon, as the door opened.

"Allo seth."
"Bastard." He said calmly, his eyes never moving.
"You're sister's such the pretty one when she cries..." Seth snarled lunging for the man, before getting knocked back. Seth got to his feet, and looked at the chains.
"What fair is the fight if I'm still chained to the wall."
"Whoever said it'd be fair?" He smiled, and punched him hard to the stomach. He dropped to his knees, scraggly hair hanging into his gaunt face. "I said it'd be fun...but never fair."
Seth sighed...when would he die...

Sacrifice.

Casey closed her eyes, feeling the cold metal against her soft wrists, and winced a bit...it was worth it...it had to be. She looked towards him, smiling softly. He smirked darkly. "Don't worry Case...you'll see when you get down there..you'll never be the same." He grinned, before walking over to the console, and launching the program...this would be fun.

Casey heard the machines whir into artificial life, and watched as the ceiling above her started to shift, blocks rumbling as they soon created a perfectly circular hole right abover her. Her jaw dropped, and a slight gleam came to her eyes as the platform she was on rose into the air slowly.

Above her the night sky was restless, rumbling and flashing as a storm blew over head, no rain falling as the storm continued to gain strength. She rose higher, swallowing hard as she felt the wind begin to blow on her face....maybe she didn't want this...

A solid click sounded, and Casey saw herself at the top, outside of the mansion, and in close proximity to the storm around her. Her eyes widened. "Oh..my god..."

He grinned, still below, his green eyes searching over the controls, before pushing in another pattern of keys, and four thick metal spikes lifted out of the wooden platform.

The storm immediately responded.

Lightning struck each of the four points repeatedly, and Casey felt unbridled power flow through her, screaming in pain as it continued to grow within her, eyes still wide...it...it was amazing...

He watched her, feeling her power level rise unchecked, and only smirked, leaning against the wall as two more spikes lifted out of the sides, and more lightning was attracted to her...when he was by his side...they'd be able to do anything...

Casey felt the spikes lower, and then the wooden platform quickly descending back to the ground, but none of that mattered. She smiled darkly as the adrenaline was slowly taken over by raw power, and the metal bands retreated. He walked towards her, helping her off the table. "How do you feel?"

"It's unbelievable Shawn...the power."

"I know Case." He said, kissing her softly, before walking towards the stairs, helping her to her room. She laid down, and looked at him.

"I can go with you now?"

"Oh yes...I wouldn't dream of leaving you here. Especially not the way you are now. I can't take on the world by myself."

She only nodded, curling up, and easily falling asleep. Shawn only continued to grin. Now he coud use her...

Catriona and Seth--broken, pt 1.

-=-1 week in-=-

Catriona's eyes snapped open, and once more, she started to struggle, feeling the aches and pains of being tortured...how long would it take for her to die...She realized that she was strapped to a wooden platform, and was completely naked. She gasped. 'No...not again..not again...'

A rasped breath was heard behind her, and she tried to sit up, to see who it was. Ice blue eyes met her.

"Hello sister." He said softly, looking at her. "You haven't been hurt badly have you?"

"Eh...I hate the cat of nine tails." She said, remembering where some of them hit her, and shuddered a bit. "Are you okay Seth?"

He smiled wearily. "I'm going to get us out of here Catriona, I promise." She looked at him, her emerald green eyes gleaming with lost hope.

"You promise?"

"I promise.." Seth said, as the door opened, and a large man stood in the doorway, silver glowing eyes cutting through the darkness.

"How sweet...you realize neither of you will survive the night?"

"Bastard." Seth muttered, trying to pull away from the wall he was chained to, his wrists bloodied by the failure. "Stay away from her!"

"Don't worry Seth." He smirked, drawing the dagger across his face. "You'll be next." He turned towards Cat, and grinned. "But your first love...and I will be sure to break you."

She spat at him, and he growled at her, wrapping his large hands around her small neck. Catriona continued to struggle, but he took his hand off, and backhanded her hard. She moaned in pain, and Seth growled, pulling on the chain again, and hearing a slight grinding noise. He looked back, and saw the hooks that were embedded in the wall wriggling a bit. He grinned, and started pulling harder, jerking the chain again and again, as he heard a scream from his sister. 'No....Cat!' He jerked it harder, and it came free.

Seth grinned taking the chain, and running towards the man, tackling him to the ground, and standing on top of him, wrapping the chain around his neck, and pulling up.

A startle choke came from him, before Seth found himself sliding down a wall, pain blossoming from the middle of his back to the rest of his body. He heard footsteps coming towards him.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson, boy." He growled, and kicked him hard in the stomach. Seth coughed up blood, but looked up at him. "I'm going to kill you...just wait bastard."

He laughed. "Unless i kill you first."

Gabrielle

Gabi's eyes focused on her prize, shifting to half wolf form before watching the man, his blond hair slightly glinting in the moonlight, she went full were, and bounded down, her grey green eyes narrowed, and she howled.

Chris looked up, his eyes slightly narrowing. He turned, drawing his crossbow and preparing to fire.

Gabi smiled. Only a matter of time...
