The Cyclops stomped into the building. He prepared his supplies, making sure all was ready for his newest arrival. She had escaped him once, but now that she was in New York, it was going to be a piece of cake. He had caught her scent earlier, and recognized it instantly. He even sent one of the chimaeras to verify that it was her, but the stupid beast got carried away and wanted to eat her. The cyclops shook his head. He looked out the window and smiled, knowing that at this point, she was his. And Belle wouldn't get away this time. He finished his preparations and called to the chimaera. He then left the building.

The cyclops came into the rundown old building, practically strutting, carrying the limp form over his shoulder. He immediately ordered the chimaera to guard the perimeter before going into the connecting room. He dropped Belle unceremoniously onto the ground. He lifted her up to untie and retie her to one of the support beams in the room. She was slumped against it. He stared at her a moment then gagged her as well, not wanting anyone to know she was there. The cyclops grinned to himself as he got up and left out of the room.

I woke up to a discomfort in my wrists and my mouth as dry as the Sahara. I groaned and immediately felt panic as I realized my predicament. I tried to call out, but the only sound that came out was a low moan. My heart started to race. I had to escape. I couldn't go through this, not again. I struggled against the ropes, but instead of loosening, they bit deeper into my skin. I thought about my dagger, but realized I must have dropped it on the way here. I looked around, trying to locate my kidnapper. I could hear something coming from the room that must have once served as the kitchen. I grunted and groaned, hoping that if it was the cyclops, he would at least undo the gag. I needed something to drink.

The cyclopes heard noises from the other room and peeked to see what was going on. He grunted when he saw that Belle was awake. He stomped into the room and laughed at the sight of her eyes widening in fear. "How are you?" He asked her, as she glared at him in fury. "I would let you speak, but I don't want unneccessary noise" He smirked. "And Make yourself comfortable, you aren't going anywhere. Why, your friend just left you here with me...after I removed his hand." the cyclops stared at Belle, amused, as she thrashed wildly for a few minutes before finally slumping against the pillar, tears flowing from her face. The cyclops continued. "You humiliated me, escaping before. But this time, there will be no escape, plus, there will be punishment. At that moment, the cyclops moved towards Belle and slapped her, hard, across the face. She tried to scream, and a huge welt was left on her cheek. The cyclops watched a tear fall from her face before turning and leaving the room, letting her cry.

I came in, not noticing anything at first.

Bored because there wasn't anything to do here, I left.

I awoke and looked around, hoping that everything was a a bad nightmare. As I smelled smoke in the neighboring room though, and saw a chimaera passing by the window periodically, I realized it was real. I hung my head sadly and started to accept defeat. I was trapped. I had rubbed against the ropes binding my wrists so much, that blood ran freely from them. My cheek still hurt terribly. After the cyclops had hit me, he came back and had punched me in the stomach. I saw bright white lights before the cyclops took out his knife and cut several cuts into my arms, giving me blood-like stripes up each arm. Then he grunted and had left me for the night. I thought about Kataro, and felt more tears coming as I replayed the image of his hand, falling to the ground. All my fault. If I hadn't been so stupid and fallen for the voice-trick. My dad must surely be dead. It was wrong of me to hope. I looked around the room and thoughtabout the smoke smell. I could hear the cyclops in the next room, and I slumped against the pole, defeated.

The cyclops pushed it back into the fireplace, one last time. He watched as the Cyclops-eye shaped branding iron grew red. He wanted to ensure Belle experienced the most pain possible before he finally killed her. Or fed her to the chimaera. He didn't really care so long as she ended up dead. He studied the flames a moment longer before proceeding to take it out and stomp quickly over to Belle. Before the look of terror, horror and comprehension had fully crossed her face, he lifted her shirt-sleeve and pressed the branding iron into her shoulder. He kept her still with the other hand as her muffled screams filled the whole room. He held it there for 5...10...15 seconds before her eyes rolled and she fell limp, unconscious. He held it there a moment longer before stepping back to admire the mark. In her skin was a blood-red cyclops eye, blood streaming from it, making it appear as if it were crying.

The cyclops roared in anger as he noticed the boy charging in. He jumped out of the way moments before the jab would have caught him in the eye. He laughed maniacally. "You think it will be that easy?" He asked as he grabbed the sword easily in his hand.

I collapsed onto the ground, unconscious, blood pooling from the mark on my arm.

The cyclops growled as the fire came to its eye. He stumbled backwards and cried out in pain. However, he was fairly accustomed to fire, being a blacksmith, and he knew that the pain would ease off in a minute or so.

The blood continued pooling around me, and the cuts made from last night were hurting so badly that it must have been infected. Time was short.

I get the horse to gallop straight for the cyclops. When I am a few feet away, I jump off and get on his back, my hand transforming into a sharp dagger, and aim for his eye.

Ooc: Dang Kataro really wants that eye to be gone. xD

ooc: no kidding...
bic: the cyclops screamed in agony as the attack wasn't expected. He had expected him to go for the girl. She was almost dead anyway. The cyclops spun around, feeling the boy's grip loosen. He then ran full speed towards the direction he knew was the door. He needed time to heal up. He hoped the boy would lose his grip.

I could feel someone giving me something...but I was still out cold. The pain started to ease, but only slightly.

I pick her up and put her on the horse. That's when I notice the brand. I get the picture out of my mind and ride out of the apartment building.

Ooc: Infirmary.

In my subconscious, I could feel myself being lifted up and then rocking on some object.
