Day 1...
He could hear screaming and his throat hurt.
< Ino please … please stop. Shuush, I promise it’s okay>
Screaming and Aviyana’s voice and someone was holding his arms down and ….
Oh …. The screaming was him. Not that he could make himself stop but at least someone had been kind enough to shove a roll of gauze in his mouth to muffle most of it.
He could still feel hands on him though, pressing down on his arms and legs where the flames hadn’t reached thanks to his clothes to keep him from thrashing around.
< Let them help. Stop struggling or they’ll never get everything bandaged. It wasn’t real fire. Just … some sort of cleansing thing >
He knew Vi was lying. He’d seen his flesh peeling off, felt the heat and smelled burning flesh. He knew exactly what all of that felt like. Only this was worse. This was what his sisters felt when the monster stole them. The heat everywhere which turned to icy cold after nerves had been pushed past the point of feeling.
He shuddered as someone slathered something wet onto his arms and tried to claw at them to make them stop. He couldn’t break the hold his captors had on him though and they seemed immune to his screaming just as much as Vi was trying to ignore it and talk to him anyway.
Then she started to sing as he felt everything going black again
