Roxy sat on the floor. She wrapped her arms around her legs. She pulled her pulled her legs to her chest and buried her head. She couldn't watch. She didn't even want to be here when this happened. Her back she still raw from her session with Lucy. None of them knew how lucky they were. Here in the open Vlad could only touch them so much. If he tranquilized them he could do anything he wanted. She hoped that they would shut up before they made things worse.

Lucy took off her shirt, revealing long, still healing cuts that the whip had given her. Facing back to Adalina, she nodded her head reassuringly. It was alright she had gone through this before, and Vlad was right. In the end it didn't matter to her. Her wounds would heal. She made sure to cover herself as Vlad ordered, even though she was wearing a bra. She kept her feet shoulder width apart, knowing from experience that it would keep her steady. If she fell, it would only hurt more. Eyes scanning the room, they flicked past everyone. Spark was by the wall with Alastair, Cassandra was now standing, and the others were spread out along the gym. Closing her eyes, she drew in a long breath and smiled faintly. Someone actually cared for her. She would survive, and nothing Vlad could do other than straight out killing her would stop that.

Vlad signaled for one of the guards to hand him the whip. The guard left the room and retrieved the whip. "You are all so brave. This is a good quality in soldiers. But you needed to learn to take orders. Since most of you are not natural follows you need discipline. Most of you would not be intimidated by the methods of disciplined used on regular soldiers. I will keep trying different method until I find something that you fear. Something that makes you do what you're told to do."
