Nightmarish Visions[Josh]

[Deleted]

What kind of fresh hell was this? The smell of sulfur and burning hair filled her nostrils. It was disgusting. Something cold and solid lay heavily around her neck, and a jerk pulled her up with a sharp pain. The jingle of chains felt like an echo in her ears, cries and screams filled the air. Until a sickeningly sweet voice cut through all the sounds, leaving an eerie quiet. “How far you've fallen.” it taunted, that thing that had begun to speak at the back of her mind. Turning to look she saw herself, a dark smirk curled across her own lips. Much more red though, and her form seemed not entirely there. Ethereal. Dark. Like she was made of smoke and shadows. It was the electric blue eyes, and blood red lips that caught all the attention. So bright, and vibrant against everything else. They seemed to glow in the darkness, as did the white teeth behind that grin. Her teeth seemed sharper, whiter, and like the Cheshire cat that was all she was. Solidly. A pair of eyes, and a cunning smile. Her own dark curly hair seemed pitch black on the woman, eyes seemed to be sunken into her skull a bit more. Her skin was pale, and ashen, thin and seemingly stretched across a thin frame. Much thinner than how Rhiannon really was. Her bony fingers curled around the chains that held her.

“No words for me Rhia? How did I get here? How did you get here? Perhaps even a where here is? Or has that minuscule brain caught on?” It taunted, because that's all Rhiannon could think to call the creature. Perhaps a small reminiscence of herself, but so strikingly different. “Fields of Punishment.” she replied, her throat felt dry. Her voice cracked. She couldn't see it for what it really was, a dream. It was so real to her, the feelings, the touch, this mocking creature. She knew she was going to the fields anyway, some how part of her knew how she died. Though she also didn't know. It was the strangest feeling, she knew where she was, and how she got her. Who had finally cut her down, like it was a real memory. At the moment everything made sense, everything had it's place. Though when she woke, there would easily be things she could not grasp. For now, she was going to spend her time here in torment.

That wicked smile grew into a sinister grin as Rhiannon felt something sharp and painful in her side. She coughed and blood slipped to the already red floor. It was sticky with her own blood, thick so she wasn't even sure what the original ground below her was. She had a feeling it was once dirt and earth. She didn't cry, didn't scream. She had resigned herself to this fate long ago. The sound of metal against bone, scraping, and the feeling that reverberated through her body left her with shivers. This time she eeked out a bot of noise. It should have killed her. A sharp glint of steal and she could see the blade dig deep into her chest. There was a gurgling sound from her chest, and when the sword was removed a strange sound emanated from there. Almost as a soft whistle as air passes through her body, the sucking noise letting her know her lung was punctured. It was painful, more blood spilled on the ground as the hold on her chain was released and she fell forward. A gentle splash of liquid life around her. Gasping for air, the pain of breathing and her heart beating rapidly despite already being dead. She felt the fear and pain of death approach again.

Hell... people had different ideas of what hell should be or would be. Usually hell incarnates whatever the person hates or fears the most and then that person is forced to live there day by day dealing with its fears or hates. When Joshua was a kid he had thought that hell was living with his stepfather, his stupid mortal stepfather that only knew how to beat him to death everytime he could, but then his stepmother came into picture and everything went more or less well in his life. Then he thought hell would be to be in a place where he couldn't teleport or take some stuff... 'borrowed'.

But nowadays, he was sure that hell for him wouldn't be that, hell for him would be to see how his beloved ones were injured, tortured in war. And after all his actions in the past and the ones from a recent time, he knew he would end up in the fields of punishment or maybe directly in tartarus, being tortured for whatever he had done in the past. So when he opened his eyes in that moment, he wasn't really suprised to see himself in a very dark place, people yelling and screaming around, all of them in pain and missery for whatever they had done in their past lives.

"WAKE UP!... TRAITOR!..."
Was the voice of a demon in front of Josh, he had just slapped him really hard. Josh glared at the demon but didn't say a word. "I'm glad to see you're awake... it isn't funny to torture someone that doesn't feel pain!" the demon said as other demon stabbed josh on the back, the sword passed through his lumbar back to his abdomen. Josh grunted but didn't scream. he then noticed he was handcuffed to an invisible ceiling and walls. so he couldn't even fight back.

"good... good... some good pain in your sweat drops..." the demon said and then they took the sword out. but before Josh could be aware of the pain in that wound and the blood dropping from it, another blade, this time was a misericordious blade, right in his chest missed his heart by an inch or less. other demons were also slashing his thighs and arms with daggers. Josh tried to focus, not to scream. But the cold was also helping numbing his wounds, and that is when he realized that the place was frozen, ice everywhere it looked like a dark kind of ice, but ice after all.

"come on... traitor... don't tell me that is all! I know I can make you scream..." he said and a vision of Rick, his brother, apeared there, in front of Josh. "all of this is your fault Josh..." said Rick as the demon grabbed the kid by the neck and stabbed him in the heart. "Rick..." breathed deeply and looked at the demon, "I'll lockpic this cuffs and kill you... " But he spoke in a calm voice, he started to remember, it was a dream... right? or it wasn't? he had been dreaming the same dream for almost 5 months, in fact since he broke his oath over styx to tell Remus the truth of his intentions, he was only spying on Saturn... and keeping an eye on Rhia.

The demon laughed really hard at josh's words. "so... the little brother didn't matter that much to you..." the demon said and the vision of Rick vanished. Night after night the same dream, the same way he saw his beloved ones killed over and over again. So it really hurt, but he wasn't going to let that demon know how much it hurt. the demon stabbed him again, he felt the blood running down his torso and legs to the ground, but he didn't care, he knew it was his punishment and he would be brave dealing with it...

But then he saw at the distance a shape... a figure that he knew very well, but it was impossible, Rhia... Rhia was safe outside his brain... out side his hell!!" no... Rhia..."

“Oh no dear, you're not dying. Here, let me help you realize how alive you can feel here.” The creature holding her chain tugged her upright, the heavy metal collar digging into her chin. She gritted her teeth glaring up at the thing, her knees in the dirt and blood. Stuck there some how. She couldn't stand, couldn't get off her knees at all. Then came a pain she'd never felt before, and the screams. Her own screams echoed loudly in her ears, so loud she couldn't hear anything else. The pain causing her to not see for a moment. “Oh there it is, feel alive yet?” that giggling voice spoke in a sweet tone as she pulled a blood covered hand from Rhiannon's wound. For a moment she wasn't breathing, wasn't screaming. Her eyes wide, pupils dilated as she stared up at the empty black sky. Her mouth hung open, the corner of her mouth twitched as she slowly recovered from the intense pain. The first breath came suddenly, deeply and with a shutter as her eyes moved down from the ceiling. The throbbing of her wound, of the space inside that she could feel displaced from the creatures hand. The chain became lax, and Rhiannon fell to the ground. Coughing, breathing heavily in shuttering gasps. Dizzy with pain she felt the warmth of a tear streak down her face. The blurry vision from tears built up in her eyes. Her focus came back and ignoring the pain a moment she took a deep natural breath and glared up at the thing that wore her skin.

That sick smile still plastered across her pale face. Directed elsewhere. Questionably Rhiannon looked at it, a small laugh in it's throat and a mischievous smirk across it's face. It had let go of her chain, she could leave, she could run. She could, but what had caught the things attention. Part of her feared, truly and utterly feared what it was looking at. Something that brought malicious glee to it's cold blue eyes. Curiosity was going to be her down fall one day, she simply knew it, and her view followed the creatures gaze. The pain was nothing in that moment. Gone. In fact there wasn't a bit of thought or feeling going through her mind or heart in that moment. She had experienced the sever pain that left her mind blank before, but this? Josh was here? Why? How? “No.” The single word came out dry and cracked, Nothing like her normal voice, a higher pitch came from her. “Josh? JOSH!” she pushed off breaking whatever force was keeping her knees on the ground.

She hadn't made it very far when she was yanked back by her neck. Her fingers curled around the heavy metal contraption as she tried to force it open a moment before again looking up at those electric blue eyes. Her lips curled into a snarl and her eyes held a vicious gleam that could threaten death if only looks could kill. “Let. Go.” A laugh came, unkind, dreadful and full of a type of joy Rhiannon never wanted to understand. That maw that held sharp white teeth seemed to crack too far across its face. The chain curled around it's ethereal arm, and it's hand held lightly to the metal that kept Rhiannon from Josh. Taking her arm she swirled it around the chain, holding it taut against her skin and gripping tightly to pull away. That was when something sharp cut into her skin, peeling the flesh from her leg. Her pants didn't protect her any from the dull scrapping sound that came from the bone on her leg, and her screams echoed into the dark sky above. The haunting laughter of the insane curled into the screams as did the jingle of loose chains.

For someone that had been experimenting pain for over 5 months, feeling a blade ripping and slashing his flesh, wasn't really somehting that would matter much or that would really hurt. It was difficult to hurt an already shattered mind and body even less when it was already turned into small pieces of a once whole, perfect, healthy mind and body. All of that was what Josh thought when the demon kept stabbing him and kept showing him how it tortured, slashed, ripped and killed those that Josh had loved the most in his life, from his mother to his step mother, his brother, friends and also the woman that Josh loved more than his own life.

But in the past versions of that nightmare turned into hell or that hell turned into a nightmare, however you want to consider it. in the past versions, he had never had the feeling that it was something real. YES! it was painful to see your beloved ones in pieces over the icy ground, with all their blood staining the crystaline surface, but if you knew that it wasn't real, then you could completely block yourself from the painful feeling of losing them once and again and again, night after night. But for some reason, that night, that nightmare, it didn't feel as the others at all.

The moment he saw Rhia there in front of him, bleeding and all covered in bruises and gashes, he knew something was wrong, he knew that he should do something! If he was in hell, well it was his punishment, but Rhia... his presious witch, she shouldn't be down there!

"RHIA!!..." he yelled moving for the first time, since the nightmares started, trying to get rid of the locks and the chains that were holding him back. "Let her go!, I'm the criminal! I'm the traitor!... let her go!..." He yelled once more and looked to one of the locks and opened it in a kind of easy way, then he was going to use his hand to free the other one and the demon came to stop him.

"I don't think so, sweet lover boy!..." He said and grabbed Josh's neck with a whip and pulled back cutting the air flow to his lungs. "so finally you reacted to something!... well this is going to be so much fun!" It said Pulling Josh even more forcing him to use his free hand to try to free his neck from the whip.

"Rhia..." he looked at her with desperated eyes as he fought for each single breeze that could get into his lungs.

You Shouldn't be Here

Again Rhiannon was in the pool of her own blood, her flesh hung limp from her leg as her jaw hung open in a silent scream. This, this pain was what she deserved, but Josh was innocent. He was kind, and perfect, and didn't deserve any of this. He wasn't the murderer, the traitor, the filth that whispered and hide in the shadows spreading words of discord. That had been her job. All this time, months of it, was all hers to do alone. She never wanted to drag him into this. She shut her jaw, more determined now that Josh was here. Now that she had to get him out."You let me go you vial creature or else I-" A hiss of laughter cut off her words, the sickeningly sweet voice churned and coiled around itself, echoing into something far more vial. Cunning. The hiss of a snake, poison dripping from its' words. “You'll what? Skin me? Boil me? Serve me with tea? I think that sounds wonderful, but let's try it with lover boy first. What say you!" It turned to acknowledge the demons at Josh's side. She looked with sick horror at the creature with her face, as contorted as it was. Muscle torn from bone or not she stood, the pain immense, electricity coursing through her body as impulses of sever pain. Her eyes watering, her jaw clenched, she moves with what speed she could muster. A sharp kick to her gut, something dug itself into her, tearing a bit at her flesh, bruising the rest, as the creature kicked her back. “Tut, tut. We'll let you have some too. No need to be eager." That sweetness was back, but it hissed and slide over a tongue Rhiannon could not see. A strange mixture wrought with the stuff of nightmares.

Upon hearing her name she turned, her eyes frantic as she saw Josh pull, and scrap to try and get to her. She called for him again, her voice high pitched and scraping in her throat. She thick metal collar pulled and bit into her neck, her chin, her flesh. Leaving deep red marks as she strained against it, when all of a sudden she was released. Falling forward she didn't even try to look at the creature that was holding it only moments ago. Diving forward she splashed through her own blood, climbing over the dirt as its gritty nature found it's way deep into her wounds. Her legs and arms weren’t working correctly, her mind working too fast. Like those idiots in horror movies. She always called them stupid. Unable to move properly, unable to run away because they were too frightened to do so. But here she was, just like them. Scrambling to get to Josh. She was almost there, so close, but a tug at her chain let her know it was only a taught. A tease. She'd not be allowed to touch him. To save him. "No! No he shouldn't be here!" Her fierce blue eyes found the demon holding onto him, reaching to try and snatch the whip from it. She could not get close enough, her fingers outstretched and neck began to bleed from her strain. The creature behind her began to giggle. “Look at her! She's doing it all for me! Think she'll pop her own head off?" The two were close enough, they might be able to touch finger tips if they both stretched their arms all the way out. That was the thought in her mind at least, she couldn't tell the distance, only that she wanted him gone. Her sweet thief didn't belong here. Kind. Gentle Josh. "Josh..."she squeaked out against the smooth heavy object crushing her windpipe.

Notes: "See who I am" - Within Temptation.

To Josh being down there in that hell, wasn't really weird or painful, he knew everything was deserved at least in his mind. Others would say that he was crazy, that he was a hero for risking his life in such way for camp and Rome. But when he thought about it, he wasn't a hero, he wasn't more than a stupid thief, a wannabe spy that was going to burn in hell as soon as his job was finished. So waking up in there night after night wasn't something that scared him in the least. But having Rhia there and something was telling him, deep in his heart, that the Rhia in front of her wasn't the one made up in his mind, it was the real one, his Rhiannon, his witch!

"stop... moving... Rhia!" he wanted to sound like an order, he didn't have time in that moment to ask for things in any nice way, he needed her to stop, he didn't worth a drop of her blood, so he needed her to stop hurting herself for him, he would find a way to get to her, to break those chains and help her get out of that hell, she didn't deserve to be there, not even when he knew she was working with Saturn, the old one was just using her to get what he wanted, so in Josh's eyes she was innocent, she hadn't broken any oath, she needed to be out of that hell and he would get her out of it!

Then another sword crossed through his body, got into his back and the tip of it went out through his chest, missing his heart just by a little, but not his lung. He coughed blood that splashed all over the icy ground. The demon let go the whip that had been around his neck. He leaned to the front and coughed again, but forced himself to stood straight, for Rhia, then looked at her evil copy and smirked. "if you want to play... come and play... forget Rhiannon and come and play with me... you sucubus!" the demon behind him took the sword off his body and then looked at Evil copy of Rhiannon as if he was waiting for her orders.

[Deleted]

She heard his voice, his honeyed voice that she missed and longed for since he left. The man she loved was in pain, his voice echoed it, his face betraying him as it only does when he's with her. She knew the scars on his body, the stories and emotions that went with them. She had shared the same with him, stories as only best friends could give. They might have been dating now, she might have realized the kind of love she had for him, but that never stopped him from being her best friend! She would do anything for him, she would break the world for him, and right now she had to break the chain on her neck and the bonds on his limbs. She could manage a smirk at him though, and a small snort. “You know I don't take orders well Josh.” Something heavy came upon her neck, in a precise strike as a crack could be heard and she fell to the ground motionless. She could still move her eyes, her jaw, and even she could feel herself breathing and heart pumping but she couldn't move her body. The chain went limp, and fell in a pile next to her head as she tried to look, tried to move. A sharp pain came to her leg. She couldn't see the vile version of herself kick her leg, kick at the flesh it had pealed back from the bone with a sword, but she could feel it. She could feel, so she must be able to move? Still she couldn't. Then she saw it, the wicked creatures legs as it strode over to Josh. “No! NO!” she screamed as it's sword, still dripping in Rhiannon's blood, slide across Josh's face. Not cutting him, but leaving a trail of blood across his face. ”You want me to play with you?” it's voice contorted with malicious glee. “Don't you see? I've been playing with you, it hurts doesn't it? To see her broken.” She would have sold her soul right then if it meant getting Josh out of here. He might be a thief, a flirt, but he was kind, gentle, and sweet beyond words. ”But I much prefer torturing little Rhia.” it's pale hand gripped hard onto the sword as it dug deep into Josh's stomach, and twisted it around to make a nice hole before pulling back out. A scream unlike anything the curly brunette had ever let out before gurgled out through spit and blood. It was near inhuman the sound she made as she lay helpless on the ground. Her Josh, her silly thief. How was he here, why, he shouldn't. Nothing he could have ever done deserved this.

Dear lord, when I get to heaven Please let me bring my man. When he comes tell me that you'll let him in, Father tell me if you can. Oh that grace, oh that body, Oh that face makes me wanna party. He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds. Tag: Josh Words: 456 OOC:

Notes:

Blood... Pain... Anxiety... feelings and stuff that would rip apart the soul of anyone, any common mortal being would be weak enough to let those things to make them drif away from sanity's shore, but a emigod was different, a demigod needed to be strong and capable to survive even when there was nothing good, alive or joyful left of them. That didn't mean that they couldn't feel as any other mortal, but being demigods made others to think that they could handle those ripping emotions much better and even with more dignity... well that was the common thought, only because they had blood of gods in them.

Some of that believe was deeply tattooed in Joshua's mind, being the son of a demigod and a god made you think that you must handle more than a mortal with no god blood in their veins. But for the mast few months, while he was in that dream, he endured everything but with a low head, just letting them do whatever they wanted to do to him, and in his mind it was ok, he didn't mind and didn't care anymore. Now... Now it was different, it wasn't only him, but Rhiannon too, for the first time he felt that he would be in troubles, they would kill him little by little by hurt her, but then looking at her, deep into her sweet blue eyes, he knew that he had no right to seem week in front of her, if he had endured pain before, now he must be stronger, firmer, braver, even bolder and show them they could hurt her, no matter how they hurt him they should never lay a hand on her again!

He smiled when she said she didn't deal well with orders, that was his Rhia, but then it happened what he didn't want to, he heard the crack, he saw her falling, maybe that demon had broken her neck. "RHIA!!" He knew there were some cases where, the neck was broken, but the person could still feel, they could live long before dying from that injury. He looked at the copy of her with hate in his eyes, if he had more Mars blood in him maybe they would turn red as his grandfather's but no... he wasn't even claimed by him. He only looked at her with hate in his eyes. but then when she mocked and talked about how much she played with him by hurting Rhia, and how she rather hurt her than him, he smirked at her. Then she stabbed his stomach and he heard Rhia's scream, how could she scream like that when she was in such bad shape?

He breathed deeply or as much as the pain allowed him to, then smirked again at Bogus RHia and spit on her face. "you see?... you hurt her more by playing with me... if you want her in pain... you should play with me... not her, she is so strong, that hurting her only makes her stronger... but play with me... and you'll have her weaker..." That wasn't entirely truth, he knew that, because she would gather enough strength to get over with her injuries only to kill her copy, and if his shattered soul and ripped body allowed her to do that, then he really wanted to be helpful for her, then maybe she would be able to get out of there.

Rhiannon had no illusions of superiority, in her mind everyone was equal. The same capabilities. There were mortals who were so good at what they did they drew the attention of the gods, and demigods who were completely useless for anything. Namely Felicity. Useless gods too, mostly Jupiter. Discordia she could see reason in her being, she caused the distress mortals went through to become better, about the same story with Mars. Sometimes there were things worth fighting for, Rhiannon counted the future in that. She would fight and kill, which she had already done, for what she believed in. How many people where on Earth again? More children being born even now, and she wanted to make sure they weren't hurt. Never again should they have to deal with being beaten by an angry adult, or the other disgusting things that people do to each other. She would have none of it, and that meant siding with Saturn. Getting rid of the old system, and starting a new one. If she had to kill a few demigods to get there, it was of little consequence. She was even prepared to kill Josh when she told him, but he decided to side with her. To join Saturn, which surprised her but she was so thankful. She loved him, she wanted to be with him always, so this was one of the best things that could happen. Him at her side, her rock. Her thief. The creature wiped the spit from her face with only two fingers, and licked the residue off with whatever blood had splashed on her face from tormenting the two demigods. "You really think she's strong boy? You don't know her too well do you?" She could barley breath it hurt so bad, and even with the pain her throat felt blocked. Crushed. She wanted to move, wanted to save Josh, to get him away from here, but she couldn't. "Poor, poor Rhiannon, so fragile." it said in mocking sympathy "Trying to always be emotionless and strong, when you're the weakest link in camp. That's the only reason Saturn wanted you. The weak link." the words slid like honey over themselves, venomous honey. Rhiannon wanted it to talk to her more, it did that so much. Talking. Always talking, chatting away in her ear and she was so sick of it. Right now though, talking was keeping it away from Josh. If that harpy wanted to talk Rhiannon was all ears, though she could not hide the defiant, angry glare in her eyes. "You kill Josh and you can be certain I'll rip you apart just to heal you again and kill you over and over again in far more painful ways that what you've done to me." She threatened. It was a bit lost in her voice, crumbling with pain. High pinched and stressed, with a strange gravelly rumble to it from her broken neck. The thing ignored her broken play toy, still imp on the cold hard ground. "Josh dear, did you know I've always been in her mind? That little voice, every time she said she wasn't good enough to be with other people?" It's hands slipped over the boys wide shoulders, giving him a gentle squeeze. Red lips moved closer to Josh's ear, so only he could hear her. Rhiannon's eyes darted a bit in panic. She yelled, asking what the creature was doing, trying to get her body to move to no avail. It hurt to move, to breath, and yelling almost made her black out in pain. Still that creature had it's claws on her thief. "That was me. Oh you've kept me at bay, joking with her. Making her feel special. But Josh, you've been gone, and I've gotten to play."

Dear lord, when I get to heaven Please let me bring my man. When he comes tell me that you'll let him in, Father tell me if you can. Oh that grace, oh that body, Oh that face makes me wanna party. He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds. Tag: Josh Words: 631 OOC:

Tag: Rhia (thief's wife!)

Word: 410

Notes: Hope it is ok!!! <3 sorry about the delay!! ut Josh wasn't behaving.

Josh looked at the other self of Rhia, that demon that dwelled in her mind, how was it possible that such creature had been created in her mind... or was it all his creation? maybe it was because he had been the one who was creating that hell for himself, so maybe she was also part of it, but why would have he given her the face of Rhiannon? WHY!? he loved Rhiannon and he would never let someone hurt her... but maybe it was the fact that she being with Saturn made him feel that she was placing herself in danger and he couldn't do a thing to save her!

Then the thing had to talk to him, he hated it as much as he hated his own demons, maybe more because it was hurting RHia... well not maybe, he definetely hated it more than he hated his own demons. "I know her better than you do I'm sure of that! you think you know her only because of her fears?! I knew those fears! why do you think I always repeat her how great she is, how strong she is!! because she tends to forget about it!!" He said at Rhia's double with a wide smile on his face, it was a smirk, the kind he used to mock at someone, the one that had been the reason of so many time that people had tried to hit him or stab him, stil he didn't care and laughed after that... which smile wouldn't last much.

After that he heard Rhia's voice and looked at her again. "Rhia... save your strength... I'm fine, don't worry about me, please." he smiled at her and felt the thing aproaching to him. he frowned and then looked at his Rhia as the monster talked into his ear. So he was right... it was Rhia's invention, that thing for sure was her fears... what he didn't know was that it had been working for a while, He had been keeping that thing away from Rhia... and now... now she was dealing with it alone... only because he was in that stupid quest! "I... stopped you..." he said slowly and almost silently, then smiled again and couldn't help but laugh, and laugh out loud. Then he hit her head with his and spit on her. "Rhia!... Rhia!! listen to me!!! we can defeat her!! just listen to my voice and don't listen to her!"

The creature recoiled a bit, it was no good at fighting. It could hardly take a hit, it's face bled from Josh's headbutt. Long fingers pressed against its face. “I'm not like your demons Josh, I have brain and wit on my side. I know how to really hurt you. If I so choose.” a cruel wicked smirk came across her again. “Do you really want me to hurt you boy?” Desperate cries came from behind the creature as Rhiannon told it to leave Josh alone. Angerly she called to it, called to Josh asking if he was okay. Straining against the body that was broken and torn. A cruel smile came across it's face as it stood over Josh and gently touched his face. Clammy rough fingers grazed his cheek, just before the hand dropped and it walked back to Rhiannon. Slowly, deliberate steps through the dirt and blood. The helpless pile on the ground tried to look up, to see what was going to happen. To anticipate it some how. Long grimy fingers curled into tangled hair and dragged Rhiannon off the ground with a scream. Her neck was damaged, she couldn't move and the strain of being picked up by her hair made Rhiannon feel like she was going to die. The same steady slow steps that took the creature to Rhiannon brought her over to Josh, a hand full of curly hair still in hand as she lay Rhiannon at Josh's feet. “What are you going to do? If you move her neck the wrong way she'll die.” Tears stained the girl's cheeks, seemingly smaller close up than she had been before. It was always more noticeable how small Rhiannon was when she was next to josh. She was only five foot five inches tall, and Josh was over six feet. She was roman trained, but her shoulders where always small and delicate. Even more as she lay crumpled and broken on the ground. The rattling of her lungs, and the sloshing sound of blood that filled them was more evident close up. Her wounds, everything looked so real, sounded so real. “Josh.....are you.....okay?” through pauses of breath, and with a soft concerned voice she tried to look him over. Search his face for his tell tale lies. “What did....she say?” She couldn't help but be frightened. The creature knelt next to Rhiannon rubbing her back softly as the bleeding there seemed to stop. “Shh, he's always known what a terrible person you are. Oh, but does he really?” The creature cooed at her, speaking softly, almost kindly. “Does he understand how pathetic you are? How weak, and worthless you are?” It spoke and Rhiannon quieted down a bit, her eyes a bit wide and unfocused as the siren spoke it's words of poison.

Dear lord, when I get to heaven Please let me bring my man. When he comes tell me that you'll let him in, Father tell me if you can. Oh that grace, oh that body, Oh that face makes me wanna party. He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds. Tag: Josh ( Love Forever ) Words: 468 OOC:

Looking at the demonic version of Rhia, Josh felt that his body was boiling, that he didn't have blood inside his heart and running down his veins, but a horrible mixure of magma and acid, something that would burn and rip apart everything in its path! would it be possible to have that inside and still be alive?! well maybe it was possible in Hell. And he was in hell at that moment, he knew it, he didin't know how the hell he got there, but he knew he was death and in hell, so all he needed to do was save Rhia and he would be in peace no matter what those demons do to him.

He looked at the evil one, laughing and talking to him, he frowned at her words, was she stupid or something like that? he had told her to hurt him to hurt Rhia... not viseversa! she definetely had no brains... she was the stupidest demon he had seen in his life. He twisted his wrists and moved them finding the right angle to let his hand free, he needed to at least have a hand free, with that he could free himself from the chains and would be able to save Rhia! He only needed that, but when he was about to free his hand, The demon threw Rhia at his feet, her neck made a wrong angle at some points, he knew she had the neck broken, also the sound of fluids going into her lungs was audible. "YOU STUPID DEMON!!" He was going to knelt by Rhia's side, but the demon behind him pulled him back stabbing him again on a shoulder.

Then the demon talked to him again, she informed him about Rhia's condition and how. He breathed deeply and decide in a second, as his Mercury's mins always did, if tell her or not... if he was or not going to move and act. Then he looked at RHia again and smiled when she asked if he was ok. "Hey... you know I've been in worst situations... don't worry." winks at her and then looked at the sucubus and then back at Rhia's sweet face. Tears rolled his face, he wasn't going to lie to her, he won't do it. So he looked into Rhia's eyes. "she said... that if I move you, your neck will finally break completely and you'll die." But then the demon started whispering poisonus words into Rhia's ear.

Josh frowned and finally freed his hand, so he moved his hand and with a fast swing he hit The face of the demon. "Stop with that! she is more important to me that life itself! so stop with your words of poison and come and get me you filthy beast!" As he talked he freed his other hand and his feet from the chains. He was bleeding and broken, but he would never let them hurt Rhia even more.

"I'm brilliant Josh." that vile smirk played across her blood red lips "But I don't like to bleed." the normally honeyed words cracked in anger, and the smirk faded into an unpleasant curl of disgust. The creature was obviously unstable, it's playful smile soon returning. "But I have ways yo deal with that. A few injuries here and there aren't too bad, when I can scar you internally." The creature had a new goal, not only to have the bitter Rhiannon broken in a pool of her own blood. Given up and lost in sorrow, it wanted this two for one deal. Greedy, as most devious creatures are. The light of thought and decision passed quickly in Josh's eyes, so much so one might wonder if it happened at all. The tears on Josh's face brought more than a sly smirk to the creatures face, it brought a wide grin that seemed to stretch unnaturally across it. Looking up at Josh she could see his weeping, the part of him he never showed to anyone else. His tears. His weakness. "Josh, it's okay. It's okay" She whispered desperately trying to console him, despite her current state. She wondered a bit, how the creature could have picked her up by the hair if that were the case. She didn't want to give Josh false hope, she knew it'd be worse for him in the end. She had to think of a way to get him out, her thief that didn't belong in this place. While she believed she deserved to be here, tortured and in pain, Josh could never do anything to put him in this place. The Fields of Punishment were not for kind people like him, people who risked their lives to save a stranger. The creature was a part of her, it knew her innermost secrets. It knew she was a murderer. No one else, save for Inek and Valerie. Each word it spoke rang like a gong in her ears. Weak. Worthless. Those were ingrained deep in her heart, in her soul. There was no worse insult for Rhiannon. Sins that could never be forgiven; murder, betrayal of trust, breaking a promise. She was betraying Camp Jupiter. Breaking the promise to protect it. Murdered a centurion. She was the lowest, and the creature reminded her of that with so few words. Her own mind, her ability to link topics together to easily remember information backfired in a self destructive way. The sound of flesh on flesh brought her to focus on Josh, and the creature. His hand outstretched as it held onto a red cheek. She didn't know it could bleed. That it could be so angry. Her eyes dropped to look at the ground, recalling how she never actually tried to strike out. How she never could, it's words always got to her first and she became too weak and pathetic to do anything. "Leave me. I should be here. I deserve it Josh. Please, run." The creature recoiled from the blow, holding onto its face like an injured animal. It's eyes turned black as coal looking at the one who dared to strike her twice. "Who are you going to protect thief? You don't even deserve to stand on the same ground as I! You have your secrets as well, you're not here just for being a thief and a liar. You're here because you're a traitor, and you know it." With Josh's hands free the creature wouldn't go near him, wouldn't get close to him nor Rhiannon. It would only hurt them while their arms were bound, when it knew it couldn't be hurt. Now? It kept it's distance.

Dear lord, when I get to heaven Please let me bring my man. When he comes tell me that you'll let him in, Father tell me if you can. Oh that grace, oh that body, Oh that face makes me wanna party. He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds. Tag: Josh ( Husband!! ) Words: 615 OOC: <3
