Alpha Crane: A Short Story

426 Words2 Pages

THE ROOM was filled with tension as the man walked to the distressed girl in the middle of the room. She was limp, her head hanging as she weakly tried to fight against the chains that held her down. Damp, russet hair fell into her face as she used the spaces in-between her hair to look at her attacker. Thick built with a muscular frame and height well over six feet, Alpha Crane greeted her. He was always a handsome man, with his flaxen tresses and honey brown eyes, but the spear in his hands was the only thing the girl was focused on. She didn’t have to sniff the air to know that at the tip of the spear, Argentum would be oozing down. Alpha Crane came equipped, with long, black gloves wrapped around his fingers to prepare for what the girl …show more content…

She bit her bottom lip to stop the tears from falling down her jade eyes. “Answer me!” His shout frightened her, making her cry out. She had been tortured for days straight. Her nerves were jumpy and her body seemed as if it would shut down at any moment. “I—” she stuttered, her mouth quivering erratically. “—I don’t know.” She cringed at the tone of her own voice. She had been screaming so much the past couple of days that her voice had gone raw and arid. Alpha Crane hissed out, his facer turning into a ferocious sneer as he took the spear and sent it into the side of the girls’ neck. Like a glass falling onto a tile floor, a harsh scream broke through her desiccated mouth as the silver entered her blood stream. A sizzling sound came from her neck, making the flesh bubble and smoke uncontrollably. “I’ve been patient with you,” he began, ignoring the girls’ heavy breaths of pain. “But, my patience is wearing out. You will tell me what you know and simply saying ‘I don’t know’ wont suffice—” “—but I don’t know!” The Alpha paused for a second, gritting his teeth as he raised his spear in the air. “Wrong answer.” Gripping the spear, he brought it down with great

    Displeased her pretty dress was covered in blood and tomato juice, she had stripped down to nothing and had begun to walk away from the scene of the crime. The guards charged her with indesentcy and destruction of property after trying to restrain the young Fae and she knocked over the dead man 's tomato stand in her attempt to run away. Garbbed in cloaks of forest green with the city 's symbol of a bear in black on the arm, the guards moved the Fae and murderer to the cells. Covered in a coat five sizes too big for her because she wouldn 't put the soiled dress back on, she sat on the cool ground of the cell. Metal bars seperated her and her book and the burnt orange eyes that thirsted for knowledge found their way upon the killer of the tomato man.

    Two days later... Having endured an hour-long grilling from Fuller about Booker’s disappearance, Tom exited his superior’s office feeling more than a little dispirited. Astute enough to know something had happened at the fraternity, Fuller had badgered him relentlessly about the hazing case, but Tom had remained stubbornly tight-lipped and had revealed only the bare facts, much to his captain’s indignation. But there was a reason behind Tom’s reticence. Without Booker by his side, he had come to acknowledge his rape as his own private hell and not something he could readily share with his friends.

    The cold sensation of murky ground slowly but surely switched from soil to smooth stone, the flatness of it being significantly easier on Jack 's feet as he moved away from the entrance and further into Pitch 's lair. Emptiness hung in the air, silent if not for the creaking of lead cages. With his eyes flicking between the cages, stairwells, and the bright glittering globe in the center, Jack comes to the conclusion that the place might feel emptier more because of the lack of teeth canisters than anything else. "You thought everything would be all right, now that the darkness has subsided. Centuries of loneliness, gone.

    Here they prepared to throw that dangerous weapon, the object being to strike the tree as near as possible to the victim's head, without absolutely hitting him. This was so hazardous an experiment that none but those who were known to be exceedingly expert with the weapon were allowed to enter the lists at all, lest an early death might interfere with the expected entertainment. In the truest hands it was seldom that the captive escaped injury in these trials, and it often happened that death followed, even when the blow was not premeditated. In the particular case of our hero, Rivenoak and the older warriors were apprehensive that the example of the Panther's fate might prove a motive with some fiery spirit suddenly to sacrifice his conqueror, when the temptation of effecting it in precisely the same manner, and possibly with the identical weapon with which the warrior had fallen, offered. This circumstance of itself rendered the ordeal of
