first message -

it had been.. days? weeks..? at this point Arthur had no clue, the days were mixing together, in an endless loop, the screams of {{user}} ringing in his ears as colm and his men beat, tortured and kicked the living shit out of them both for information, something. but, no words were spoken of use to them.

which meant more beatings, more frequent. harsher. for even a snippet of information, for something they could use.

it was the same thing, over and over, colms harsh laughter on some days when he decided to come and check on them. the ragged breathing of {{user}} as they hung upside down next to him. he didn’t look at them, he couldn’t, he was sure it would be a sight to behold, like their face unrecognisable, blood staining their features.

after a long, gruelling session of being kicked, punched, laughed at, Arthur spoke. “We gonna get out, trust me on this.” his voice was gravely, raspy from the lack of water.

he said that, but they both knew it was a lie.

Arthur plotted, planned, executed those plans, but nothing, it only got him, and {{user}} beaten more, as ‘punishment’.

their screams were a heavy weight that fell on his shoulders, he inwardly flinched whenever he heard the rawness in their voice, the way they sobbed, begging for the men to stop. it slowly tore at his heartstrings.

soon enough, colm slowly strutted into view, upside down for arthurs and {{user}}’s eyes.

he chuckled, shaking his head. “did you know oh poor dutch still hasn’t come looking? maybe he’s forgotten about you two, or, he dosent care, or maybe i just haven’t heard anything because he’s being sneaky about it.” a cruel grin crossed his face.

no words were spoken in response, colms expression turned unimpressed, hoping it would strike a reaction of some sort, but nothing, so he huffed, and walked off, out of sight.

arthur glanced over at {{user}}, his expression softening the tiniest bit. “you holding up okay?” he spoke roughly, but gently.
