[quote=@Hawksnest565] "My dear, quit acting like a child," The Boss chides at Ptelea's struggles. He wrenches her mouth open by pulling her chin down with one hand and quickly grabbing at her tongue. Once it's in his hand he cuts a slit in the middle. The wound is small but deepened from the way the old man's hand shook as it cut her. Blood began to well out into her mouth. "That looks like it hurt a little!" He drops the scalpel and pulls something out from his pocket. It's a lemon sherbet, already unwrapped. "Your big brother wasn't accepting of the comfort of a lolly. I'm sure you'll be much more grateful than him." He pushes the acidic candy on to the cut. The guard carefully pried Ambrose's fingers from his shirt. "Okay, I get it! Don't worry, we'll go to her now!" He opens up the door. [/quote] Ptelea cries loudly as he cuts her tongue. Tears roll down her cheeks as she struggles to pull away. [i]But I am a child![/i] She thinks, whimpering. She then begins screaming as he pushes the candy onto the cut. She tries to pull her face away, or at least spit the candy out. Tears keep falling down her cheeks, as her screams turn into sobs. Ambrose nods and runs from the room, but not before hearing his sister's screams. His face pales and he looks back and gasps, seeing the blood well from her tongue. He bites his lip fearfully. "He better not kill her between now and when we get to them." He warns the guard. "I might not want to talk if he hurts her too bad." He snaps, waiting for the guard to lead.
