(We can timeskip, or you can go for it on Eclipse, it'd be good character developement for me, but I'm cool to skip too.)
Eclipse let himself lose himself in his thoughts as he as carried elsewhere into the trees. He thought about everything Seren had said, and if the other would figure out he wasn't human… or how it was possible he might actually lose it and try to shift if they hurt Nik badly enough.
(like I said, I have no preference. I'm not the best at describing torture tho, I'm better with like…the angst that comes afterwards aftermath)
Nik was carried in a different direction. The men carrying Eclipse spoke to each other in their own language, mostly ignoring the prince they carried.
(Simply for character developement I'm leaning towards torturing Eclipse for the fun of it, and also practice)
Eclipse let out a low growl of frustration as he listened to them talk among themselves, wondering what they'd do to him.
(alright! Let's do it lol)
They set Eclipse down on a table-like thing, and shackled him down so they could do whatever they wanted. They continued speaking to each other, gesturing to Eclipse as they spoke.
Eclipse rolled his eyes, forcing himself not to think too much as he let his body relax after being tied up.
(evil grin)
(do you wanna torture him, or do you want me to? We could each torture our own boys, if you want to be the one to torture Eclipse. I don't care what we do lol)
Finally, one of them stepped away, stirring a bucket of hot coals. For brands, for burns. Anything they could dream up. Another organized a selection of sharp tools.
(I'd be fine if we just focused on one, and it'd be more fun if idk what's gonna happen to my boi.)
Eclipse took a deep breath, not wanting to even think about what they'd do to him. He knew it'd be traumatizing to say the least.
(alright cool. Last question: how bad can I beat him lol)
"Ooh! We could stick a hot iron up his ass." One suggested, speaking the common language so that Eclipse would understand.
Another, who seemed to be the leader of this group, shook his head. "No, no sexual anything unless Seren gives the go ahead."
(Don't kill him? But otherwise go for it!)
Eclipse managed to keep a straight face at the threat, focusing on keeping his breathing even. Okay.. just focus, don't let their threats freak you out…
(lol k)
A whimpering scream carried through the woods, and some of the men laughed. "We haven't even gotten started, and the other one's already screaming!" One man complained.
The leader sighed. "Alright. We'd best get started." He replied. He drew out a knife, and cut off Eclipse's shirt.
Eclipse clenched his jaw and tensed when he heard the other's scream, hoping to every higher power he knew that the other would be okay. But his attention was diverted by the knife cutting his shirt off, though he managed to maintain a straight face, hoping he wouldn't have to let the other hear his own cries.
The leader pulled the scraps of his shirt away. "Who wants to start? Remember, no killing him, and no maiming. And no sex."
One of the men grinned, and picked up a knife. He started to drag the tip down Eclipse's body, cutting into him.
Eclipse clenched his jaw and stayed still as the blade cut into his skin, having already made up his mind that he would not make a single sound for as long as possible. They'd have to break him first.
Another scream carried through the woods, louder than the first. The men around Eclipse chuckled softly. The man with the knife dug it deeper into Eclipse.
Eclipse clenched his jaw, staying silent still, refusing to react to their laughter, or Nik's screams.
The man with the knife continued carving into Eclipse's skin, drawing blood with each cut. The men watched, some murmuring to each other, others silent. The leader had his arms folded.
Eclipse stayed silent the entire time, he didn't say or do anything, knowing that if he did something it was likely to make them do ten times worse.
The man with the knife eventually stopped, leaving blood and deep cuts all over Eclipse's upper body.
The leader's eyes flashed. "Who's next?"
(What's most likely to make him scream?)
(Probably burns, or maybe salt in the wounds;)
Eclipse let himself breath deeply, the wounds now left on his torso burning in the dry air around them, blood welling up, but he didn't dare make a sound, hoping he'd last longer than he thought.
(alrighty thanks XD)
One of the men, without ceremony or drama, picked up a burning iron from the fire, and pressed it into Eclipse's stomach. He smiled at the sizzle as the iron met flesh and blood.
Eclipse let his eyes shut as he bit back a cry of pain, jerking away from the burning iron. His breathing sped up as he tried to stay silent, and not panic.
The man chuckled softly. He lifted the iron and stuck it in the fire again, the metal turning white hot. He stuck it into one of the wounds from the knife, smirking crookedly.
Eclipse hissed in pain, trying his best not to make a sound as he clenched his jaw, body jerking as the hot iron castrated the wound
He removed the iron, and put it back in the fire. He pulled out a branding iron. "Hmm. Should we give him an S on the middle of his forehead?" He asked, looking down at Eclipse.
"Nah. Nothing on his pretty face." The leader replied.
The man nodded, and jabbed the brand down onto Eclipse's chest.
Eclipse growled at that one, his wolf side temporarily taking over at the thought of being marked. No. The only one allowed to do that was his soulmate. No one else.
