...Corey hung around the park since he had some time to kill. Since Corey lived close to the park, he found himself hanging around the park a lot but today seemed a little... 'off' to him. A black car that had been parked by the small pathetic wooden fencing of the park itself, it had been parked there long before Corey had gotten to the park himself. He had been at the park for about five minutes now and the car hasn't even moved, what didn't help was the fact that he couldn't see any traces of life behind its black tinted windows yet he still felt the harsh staring of the person within the vehicle. Corey checked the time on his phone, 8:40am. He then looked back up at the car, staring at it for a bit, mostly because of the weird mis-shapened creature standing by it 'The hell is that?' Corey thought to himself as he watched the creature turn its head towards him. It seem like it wasn't looking at him though, and by noticing that, Corey went to turn his head and before he could react, someone had hit him over the head. All he could see was black blurry faces, pain rattling within his head like an awful echo "You should be more careful, they could lose their sight or die" one of the two stated "He's fine, and besides... one less threat-" "HEY!" a voice yelled, the two men looking over in the same direction of the voice... it was Vix- a boy with pale skin, black hair and silver eyes. Next thing Corey knew, his vision was blurring to black...

272:30am
Corey was startled awake as he heard another bed being rolled into the same surgical room as him. Still strapped to the bed, Corey tried to move but it was impossible. It was like his body was dead yet he still had feeling in his limbs. Once the other bed was pushed and placed somewhat beside Corey's bed, the boy's eyes widened a bit as he saw the shadowy kid, 'Ethan', barely conscious on the bed.

Ethan's face was stained with tears. Dark bags hung beneath his eyes. Fingers slightly bloody near his blunt nails, as if he had been trying to claw his way out of something made of stone. His wrists and ankles bruised from yanking on cold metallic shackles.

"Hey!" Corey shouted, catching the attention of a few nurses and doctors outside the surgical room "The fuck did you do to him?!" he spat as the doctor in the room finally turned to the two boys. "He's just a kid! he didn't do anything wrong!" Corey snapped... of course he was mad, he was beyond pissed. No kid should be treated like this, no matter what they are. The doctor stayed quiet as laughing could be heard outside the door, it was Ted. The doctor of 'no mercy', now walking into the room, still laughing a bit as he looked down at Corey. "Really? a Human Realmer sticking up and trying to protect a demon?" Ted questioned, his own words making him laugh a little more "And here I thought I've seen everything, but..." he drifted off for a second before glancing back at the boy "You really are something else, aren't you... Corey Garrison?" Ted said, stepping further into the room. "'Did nothing wrong-' you have no idea who you're talking about, do you?" Ted questioned again as Corey glared back at the doctor "That thing" he started, pointing at Ethan "Is known as one of the most dangerous demons to ever exist... and you're willing to stick up for him? protect him?" he continued, walking over til he was directly looking down at Corey "Even after everything he did?... even after he permanently ruined your life?" Ted harshly questioned yet the boy just darkly glared back up at him. Ted laughed a bit at Corey's seriousness "Playing hero now, are we?" he laughed before placing a new needle into the boy's neck, Corey hissing in pain as a droplet of blood ran down his neck "Shame that in this 'story', you'll all be dead by the end of this" Ted stated, placing a needle into Ethan's neck as well before turning on the battery and putting it on the highest voltage. Both boys yelling out in pain as the merciless doctor watched with a dark grin spread ear to ear, trying to hold back his own deranged laughter.

Holly was drugged into a surgical room, the door slamming behind her and the two soldiers who dragged her in and the doctor and nurse who followed in behind. The nurse and soldiers strapped Holly down to the bed before putting these weird electronic cuffs on her wrists and ankles, Holly could hear some sort of liquid inside the cuffs, moving around whenever she moved. The nurse plugged a fine cord into both cuffs before stepping back with the soldiers as the doctor walked over and stood by Holly's side. "Patient HØ1LY, Holly Smith" the doctor stated as the girl strapped to the bed looked up at him "You are about to undergo the start of the x-treatments tailored to the relation of your curse" he continued as Holly looked up at him in confusion 'Curse? what bullshit are they on about now?' she silently questioned herself. "Phase one of your first treatment will commence now" the doctor stated as Holly's eyes immediately went wide "Wait-" she interrupted herself with a scream of pain as the cuffs burned her wrists and ankles.

Within the cuffs is a special type of oil known to be a good substance for lighting fires and boiling. When the cuffs are plugged in and turned on, the oil within them heats up immediately and boils to unimaginable temperatures. The heat created by the oil easily slips through the metal of the cuffs and burns its unfortunate victim, aka Holly.

Faith had her wrists chained to the walls beside her as a nurse placed a thick black leather collar around her neck. It had some sort of battery attached to it. "Patient T12X1, Faith Johnson, you are about to undergo the start of the x-treatments tailored to the relation of your curse, phase one of your first treatment will commence now" the nurse stated as Faith's brows frowned "Wha-" the electric collar went off, not bothering to stop to let her at least breathe. The endless pain was unbearable and not easy to describe, the closest Faith could get to it was the feeling nails and glass shards being hammered into her skin and being yanked back out just as quickly, over and over again.

277:22pm
Throughout the surgical ward of the hospital, several new never ending screaming echoed for hours.

The battery was finally turned off, allowing both Corey and Ethan to breathe properly whilst Ted wrote a few notes on his clipboard. "C-Cor..." Corey turned his head towards the shadowed kid, struggling to get out his name "Corey..." Ethan weakly spoke, only able to move a couple fingers in the other boy's direction as Ted signed "What a disappointment" the doctor stated shaking his head a bit before turning to Ethan. "What happened to you, Nightmare? you were the most powerful and scariest thing the first time I saw you" Ted stated, walking over to the shadowed kid "Where'd that corrupted demon go?" he smirked as he questioned the kid, now standing by Ethan's side. "Get... get away from him" Corey weakly spat as Ted turned his head back to him, dark prideful smirk growing wider by the second "Isn't that interesting... you still care" before either boy could speak another faint word, Ted walked back over to the battery and turned it back on, again... both boys yelling in pain as they were electrocuted.
