A/N: I wanted to get this chapter up as quick as possible because I won't be able to get on my laptop for a while. Please review, it keeps me writing!

I sat in the dungeon for the 5th night, my knees drawn to my chest. The shackles on my ankles cut deeply into my skin, but I pushed the pain to the back of my mind. I looked at the cup of water that the guard had given my, somewhat an hour ago, but already it was frozen. The floor that I sat upon was ice and the corner that I lay against was also ice, there was no escaping it, I only wore a woollen jumper and cotton shorts. Why on earth did I ever listen to that witch? She is no good. My brother and sisters and probably lots of other innocent people are going to get hurt or die because I wanted sweeties.

Suddenly voices drew me out from my thoughts; they were coming from the corridor just outside my frosted cell. The voices, I could now tell that it was Ginabrik and Maugrim, were now standing just outside my cell door. A key was jammed into the lock to the door, and slowly was turned. The icy door swung open to reveal a wolf, which I could recognise as Maugrim and Ginabrik with a whip in hand. I sighed inwardly to myself, what had I done this time? Or what had made him angry? I shuffled out of the corner I was in, not wanting to show weakness, my knee's left my chest and I sat there staring at in Ginabrik in the eye.

"Tell us where your brother and sister have gone, I am going scouting for them, it would make my job much easier. If you don't tell me and I happen to meet them, well let's just say you won't be seeing them ever again." Maugrim said, he had an evil smirk on his face, well the closest facial expression to a smirk a wolf can make. After he said that Ginabrik stepped forward whip in hand.

"I won't tell you anything, nothing at all." I said, my head held high, I wasn't going to show anymore weakness. Ginabrik came closer and closer, I knew what was coming next, so I braced myself.

"Well if you're going to be like that, then we'll have to force it out of you." Maugrim snickered and looked at Ginabrik. The first hit landed on right forearm, then the next load on my back. The pain was horrific and my back felt like it was on fire. I was sure blood was dripping down my back; my right sleeve was turning scarlet. All of a sudden the whipping stopped, I waited there for a couple of minutes to start again, and it didn't. So I let out a huge sigh of relief, soon after that a pain that felt like an icy fire hit my knee. After that Ginabrik stood next Maugrim again.

"We will return, hopefully after that little session you will think twice of not answering our questions." With that said they turned around and walked out. When I was sure they were not coming back, I let a few tears spill down my face, quietly I moved back to the corner and hugged my knee's to my chest.
