The Training of Frank Cole (Markus’ Island)
(Combined threads from previous site)
(OOC: Continuation of Elsewhere, Markus Island, The Party Continues Part II)
COLE
Cole tried to take deep breaths, but the wall of the machine was pushing in on his chest. He knew it was part of the "treatment". He knew it was being done purposely to get him to break. Damir was not taking his word for his willingness to be under his control. Cole knew he wouldn't be able to hold out forever. The last time he had held out for four days before he had felt himself slipping away. He had lost months out of his life. The horror which had taken place in those months had come back to him only through the therapy sessions with the elves. They had been able to help him regain his sanity.
"You will obey Damir.... You will call him Master... You will immediately do everything he tells you to do..." These words became the mantra which repeated itself over and over in his head. Pain shot through every muscle. He heard the screams which came out of his mouth.
Cole prayed to the powers that be, he would survive. The elves had told him, if he ever went back into the machine, it would not be as hard for Damir to turn his control, his way. The machine would pull on past training sessions and augment them.
Cole watched the scenes float by. The helmet and goggles he had on only allowed what sight, Damir approved of. Cole relived the doctors visit. The doctor would be able to teach the Caretaker Group a few things, and that was saying something, because the Caretaker physical was beyond uncomfortable. Every hole in the human body was explored and samples taken. Every muscle was checked to make sure it worked properly. The doctor on the island took that procedure to a whole new level. Cole would be hurting for many hours just from that. The horror of the fact he would be returning to the doctor's office on a daily basis, had him shaking.
Just then the pressure on his chest let up... but sharp pains pulsed through his body. "You will obey Damir.... You will call him Master... You will immediately do everything he tells you to do...", the manta had returned louder than before. Suddenly the pain was gone and Damir's face loomed in front of his eyes. "How are you doing pet? Ready to give in yet?" Damir chuckled.
Cole shook his head. The pain slammed back into him. Pictures of the children laughing and enjoying themselves, floated in and then out. Pictures of good times on the island, floated in and out. With each picture, the pain amped up causing a scream to ram through Cole's lips. Pictures of Cole sitting and laughing with Tamir floated across his mind. Pictures of the children beating up on Brennan floated through his mind. Pictures of him kneeling in front of Damir and calling him Master floated through his mind. With each of these pictures, the pain disappeared and a feeling of euphoria swept over him. The process repeated itself. With each picture from the world he lived in came pain. With each picture of the world Damir wanted him to live in, came pleasure. With the euphoria, Cole felt hands rubbing his legs and arms. The rubbing felt good.
Everything stopped and Cole sat waiting to see what was next. He was hurting. He was scared. He was starting to think about serving Damir. Everything was happiness when he thought about that. Everything else meant pain.
He felt hands on the head piece. Cole had to close his eyes because of the sharp pain of light. He blinked rapidly trying to get the real world into focus. He had no idea how long he had been in the machine this time.
(OOC: I write Cole and Damir for this thread, so I have combined their posts.)
DAMIR
Damir was pleased by the way Frank Cole was reacting to the treatments of the machine. His techs were doing a very good job of bringing the man back around to being his slave again. It had only been three hours and already the man was starting to lean more toward the pleasure side of the treatment. Damir stood between Cole's legs. He placed a hand on the man's arms and started a slow rub up and down the arms, from his shoulders to the tips of his fingers. "So Pet... how much longer are you going to resist helping me with a few of my problems. This is your life now. You know the pleasure I can bring you. You know I just want to take care of you." When Cole's eyes would not meet his, Damir gave him a light slap. "You will look at me when I allow it. Now I want to know...." Damir stopped with his hand still on Cole's cheek.
One of his men came up and bowed, holding out a small electronic tablet. "A report has come in Master Damir."
Damir took the tablet and read:
"Have been able to detain Liam and Alec. Not much of a fight. Just telling them you wanted to see them and showing them the sword on my belt, got them to agree. They will have arrived on the island by time you get this. I told the guard to place them in one of the retention cells.
We had to knock Franco out, because he was starting to change again. We have him in the dungeon of the school. Will eventually leave him so he can be found later. No worries on him talking because he saw we had the two boys and we made it clear what would happen to them and others we capture if he talks.
Hold one moment, my Lord Damir....." The screen went blank for about ten seconds then came back on. "It is confirmed we have the boy Luke and the girl Tia. Tia also has a small elf with her, who refused to leave her side. Brennan helped to attract them to the dungeon. Brennan will need watching but it looks like threatening the small pups on the island, made him realize he wasn't going to be able to fight you also about the children. The two humans though are putting up a good fight. The elf is staying out of the fight because I have a knife up to the little female human, you call Tia.
Will be returning in about five minutes. Where would you like everyone brought to, my Lord?"
Damir smiled and typed. "Bring them to outside the machine room. I will have them brought in as I desire." Damir cut the connection, handed the tablet back to the servant, and turned back to Cole. "It look like we are going to have some company. Some of your friends have decided to join us."
When Cole started to fight the bonds, Damir threw the helmet back on. "You can wait in my world until they get here."
Cole screamed as the whole scenario started up again. Old visions, pain, new vision, pleasure, manta playing in the background. Cole felt the tear run down the side of his face. He was doomed and he knew it.
TIA
Tia thought "Landon stay back with Cliff. Will signal if needed. Find Tarik, and Darik. Got my Runes book darling and Moon is with me." She looked at Moon and tried to sign that her assistant should blend. Tia had seen Darik do it but was unsure if Moon could.
"Unhand Me Now!", Tia commanded as she tried to get free of the Cloaked Man that held her tight. She looked over at Bren only to see him look defeated.
"Bren snap out of it and signal the..." Tia began.
Bren shook his head as he said, "Sorry Princess, They have..." Bren saw the whip as The werewolf holding it raised it saying, "You need another lesson Pet! Or should I whip her instead.."
Brennan was shaking as he pleaded, "No please. Tia please stop fighting."
Tia felt the knife to her throat still as she said fighting her captor, "Then Release Me!" She knew if the knife was not an issue Tia would have gotten some attention by yelling.
TAMIR
Tamir had finally gotten the whole obstacle course set up. He was just about to make his Pet travel through it, when a group was led through the front doors and walked toward the entry to the hallway where his brother was training Frank Cole using the machine which helped the brain washing process. Tamir hoped he would never have to enter the machine. His brother had told him as long as his "rest periods" worked to make his brain work, then he wouldn't have any problems with keeping him out of the room. Tamir had seen what the machine did. He shivered as he recalled the one man who had actually died, when he was hooked up to it.
Tamir felt a tug on the chain of his pet. He jerked it back, as the pet yelled. "No, run all of you. Brennan get them out of here."
Tamir brought the crop down on the girls back two times. "Stay pet or I will continue to beat the girl." Tamir was satisfied by the whimper from his pet, who now knelt staring at the group. When a young girl broke off from the party and walked toward them, Tamir yanked on the leach of his pet pulling him to a chair. The girl looked mad. One of the six guards with the group started to laugh and follow the girl. Tamir stood up very straight and asked, "What do you want pet?"
MARCO
Marco watched as Tia neared. He had to warn her but how. An idea came as he rubbed his first finger and thumb together. "You will find Tamir, That one is Nobody's Pet!" Marco said furious as he stood. He prayed Tia got his signal to use her coin.
Bren reached into his trouser pocket and prayed the wolves would be too interested in what he was doing that they would stop and come after him.
Tia smiled as she neared the one her Head of House called, Tamir. Her hand went for her pocket. "Time to bring Backup!", Tia thought. She kicked at the goon named Tamir as she said furious, "Release my Head of House!"
Luke was scared as he watched Tia risk her own safety. He knew if she got any madder than her new magic would tap. "Landon is not here and I don't see her friend Moon."
He watched as the cloaked man was hit with her ancient magic full on. Luke had to do something. He kicked out the feet of the goon behind him. "Alec, we could use your Shadow Magic!" Luke said praying that Alec would help.
Alec and Liam just stood there. Alec was scared that Damir would send the private guard after Rosa. "I can't Luke," Alec said knowing that the ones fighting were no match for these elicit fighters of Damir's.
DAMIR
Damir walked into the room. Cole was back in the machine and he wanted to leave him there for a bit. When he had come out into the small room adjoining the machine room, he was surprised to not find anyone there. He made his way back down the hall, toward the main room, hoping to run into the group before he got there. No luck!
Reaching the room, he took into account immediately what was happening. A young girl with had to be Tia, was walking toward Marco, spouting how his brother should let go of his pet. He saw the signal Marco was giving, and yelled, "Close us down." knowing the island would now be protected from anyone trying to get on it. If anyone tried they would end up in the water a good five or six miles from the island, well over the horizon.
Brennan was reaching in his pocket, but if the guards had done their duty and he knew they had because they valued their lives, the young Wizard would have nothing in his pocket. The guard holding him, just looked at his charge. At least he was being smart. Damir would remember him and maybe move him up in standing.
Damir watched as one of the guards flew across the room and hit the wall hard. He had seen the waver in the air, coming from the girl. Oh, this was going to be fun. Damir walked up to the boy, who had to be Luke, just as he kicked out, and begged Alec to use his magic, and put a knife to his throat. "Everyone stop where you are, or I use this."
Both Alec and Liam, froze in their spots. Good at least they knew when to behave. Slowly Damir moved Luke to where Tia stood staring at him. "I gather your name is Tia." Receiving a nod he continued. "You have shown you possess very strong magic. If you use it again, everyone in this room who is not part of my army or family, will receive ten lashes with a whip, that includes you. Damir signaled to two of the guards to bring the screen from the corner closer. "Wrap it around her." When the screen was in place, with only Tia's head over the top of it he, took a piece of material from one of the chests along the wall and threw it over the top edge of the screen. "Take off all of your clothes and put this on." Damir tightened his grip on Luke and the knife's edge was now up against the young man's artery. "Now, Tia." Looking around he said to all of them. "When she is done each of you will remove all your clothes. The boys will be given work pants and nothing else. Later each of you will be given a complete physical and body search." Damir smiled as he thought about sending the boys to the Birthing center. They were all of age. Anyway he didn't care if they gave their consent or not. New blood was needed in the clan and the boys could help with that.
TIA
Tia glared at the man who held a knife to Luke's throat. From the fear she saw this must be the one that held Luke and Liam at the Shack. Enraged she said, "So you are the PACT Traitor! I have seen you." Pulling out the coin, she said rushed, "Waiter..." Just then pain made her drop the coin. As she fell in extreme pain, Tia heard her husband's voice, "Tia..." He would come but would her protectors.
Alec reached down and picked up the coin. He said into it, "Landon don't!" He handed the coin to Damir saying on bended knee, "Lord Damir, you almost had trouble. This is a signal coin! Only the Princess can use it. Can I remove the collar?" He hoped by stopping her plan he had showed his loyalty. "Rosa, sorry but it was them or her!", Alec thought hoping he would also spare the others. He had an idea and prayed it worked, "Lord Damir, Tia is Lance Kildare's cousin. Her mother was Tamika McChey. Grand Alpha Matthew might be very happy with her capture..."
Brennan and Marco fought as they said, "Leave her out of this! The Children are not a part of this war!"
Even Liam could not believe that Alec would betray the Core's leader.
Alec asked not daring to look any of them in the eye, "What are your orders My Lord?" He had a small chance that Tia would be used as bait or given to him as a reward. He at least prayed she would be safe from the feeders.
DAMIR
Damir continued to hold the knife with on hand against Luke's throat, while reaching out and taking the coin. He turned it over in his hand a couple of times, then looked at the girl. Chuckling he said, "You are a feisty one aren't you child."
"Now how would you know about the PACT? You are a child and have no say so in what adults do or have done in the past. Soon pet you will learn your place."

"Now how would you know about the PACT? You are a child and have no say so in what adults do or have done in the past. Soon pet you will learn your place."
(Alex) had an idea and prayed it worked, "Lord Damir, Tia is Lance Kildare's cousin. Her mother was Tamika McChey. Grand Alpha Matthew might be very happy with her capture..."
Damir looked at the young man, he was definitely becoming a treasure. Having the young girl in his power, gave him leverage to greater power, both from his Step-father and Uncle. He just had to decide which of them he wanted to turn the girl over too. First he needed to train the girl to do his bidding. That way in the future she would still look to him for instructions, if things went wrong with the other two Alpha's. Before he could formulate any plan, Marco and Brennan decided to cause some problems.
Damir turned toward Brennan. "That is where you are wrong, Pet. The children are what is making this war go on. Their futures will fuel the conquest my family is making. Controlling them will allow us to control the future."
Damir looked at Alec. "You have done good today. You will keep the collar on for a little while longer though. You have shown your faithfulness to me, but I have further tests you must pass before you are allowed to remove it." Damir looked around the room. "As for the rest of you, on your knees."
Tamir gave a powerful yank on Marco's leach and pulled the wizard back down to the ground. He pushed Marco's head to the floor and placed his boot on the back of Marco's neck. "Stay still pet or our arrangement will be carried out, but I will use one of the others to accept your punishment."
Damir smiled. "Very well done brother, you are learning." Damir saw two shimmers in the air, one at Tia's side and one at Brennan's side. He thought about the pain the girl had felt. Alec, who was taking credit for it wouldn't have had the ability on his own. Something or someone... Damir smiled and whispered in one of the guards ears. The guard looked around, smiled and went to stand between, Tia and Brennan. Damir called out, seemingly to the room in general. "Close this room down." The room was now closed off from the outside. There was an actual cloud around the building, to anyone looking at it from the outside. The werewolves clan did not depend on magic to survive, which meant they had to find ways to counter it, sort of a dampening system. The room was now blocked from magic coming in or magic being used within the walls. It took a lot of energy to do this, so it wasn't used very often.
The guard's smile grew bigger as two elves appeared in the spots where Damir had noticed the wavers in the air. Both were grabbed by the guard. "Now what do we have here? It seems we have uninvited guest. Bring them here." The guard dragged Rub'ik and Moon to in front of Damir. "So would you like to tell me your names?" This was a fantastic find. He now had two captive elves and as long as he kept their magic at bay he would be able to examine them. The medical unit was going to have fun with this one. Maybe he could mate them and start his own little crop of elves, who would do exactly as he said. Interesting.
Movement from Tia, sent his eyes back to her.
Damir looked at the group in front of him. The boys had all changed into the loose fitting brown, work pants. Damir had been made to wear them for a week one time by his mother, as punishment. They were rough and scratchy to say the least. He looked at Tia standing in front of him and said, "I thought I told you to get in the screen and change. If I were you I would do it now. I will have my orders followed. I can always have you change out here in the open. I can even have some of my guards help you, if you are having a problem following my orders."
COLE
Cole walked down the long hallway. He knew he had been in the machine, but he was unsure what was reality at the moment. Was he a mercenary who wanted to fight Lord Damir, or was he Lord Damir's trusted servant who had been brainwashed by others to want to hurt his Master? The truth felt like it was the latter, so he was going to try and make it up to Lord Damir for any disrespect he had shown.
As he reached the main room, he stopped in the doorway, barely opening the door in front of him so he could see and hear what was happening.
Why Alec had told Landon "don't" made no sense. The only person who could use that coin was Tia. It was conditioned to her and her alone. Alec was still trying to hedge his bets on which side to be on. That would have to end. Cole liked the boy and didn't want to see him hurt or killed because he didn't know which side was the strongest.
Now that was an interesting chain of events. Tia, like always could not keep her mouth shut. Damir was determined to treat her like a child, which would only make her more upset and make her probably spout off more. Brennan and Marco were drawing more attention to the children. Damir would start concentrating on them, once their value was brought fully to his attention. Cole knew the boys could probably take the punishment which could be metered out, but he doubted Tia had ever felt the whip on her skin. Something in the back of his brain told him he needed to stop that from happing at any cost, but he pushed the thought away as being from when he had been brainwashed by the outside world to disobey Lord Damir.
Cole watched from the shadows. Liam immediately went to his knees and bent his head. Alec put his other knee on the floor and bent his head. Brennan stood tall with his fists down at his side. Interesting. Tia was also still standing. The girl never learned that sometimes you have to give into the situation in order to be able to proceed and survive.
Tamir had control of Marco who was now on the floor, his head being pushed into the rock flooring.
Cole watched as Tamir smiled at his brothers praise. Marco was just going to have to learn, life would be less painful for him if he could help keep that smile on his new Masters face.
Cole recognized the two elves. Moon was Tia's personal body guard. Rub'ik was Darik's brother. Why the elf was here, Cole had no idea. Capturing the elves would not have been possible. For some reason the elf had come on his own. Lord Damir was going to be thrilled. He had always wanted an elf to experiment on and try and train. Looked like Rub'ik and Moon had just volunteered for the honor.
It was time for Cole to enter the room and show Lord Damir he had learned from his past mistakes. He hoped his Master would understand he had not realized he had been brainwashed by the outside world to disobey him. He hoped his punishment would not be too severe. He would accept it with dignity of course. Lord Damir truly cared about the people who served him.
Cole walked past Lord Damir, straight to Brennan. He slammed his fist into the man's face. "You will obey your new Master. Now kneel." Cole grabbed the Brennan's hair, pulled him forward and roughly pushed his forehead in to the rock floor. "You will remain that way until Lord Damir deems it right for you to rise even a little bit." Cole looked at the nearby guard, "If he gets up you will suffer, am I understood?" Cole was not sure he had the authority to do what he was doing, but he was going to take the chance. His new visions had shown him that at one time he had the ability to tell other men what to do. He was just hoping it was in this reality and not the other one which had been forced on him.
He walked over to Lord Damir and held out his hand. His Master was able to tell what he wanted and placed the coin in his palm. Cole stepped to Tia and grabbed her by the shirt she was wearing, pulling her on to the tip of her toes and close to him. "Princess, you have no clue what can happen here if you do not settle down and do as you are told. This is real life, not some story you have been told about one of your ancestors." Cole held the coin up in front of her face. "Shut it down. If they come they cannot win. Do you hear me?" Cole knew he was talking to more than Tia. The coin was active so anyone with a like coin could hear what was being said. "Shut it down Tia, or live with the lives of your friends and family who will be lost this day."
Cole felt someone trying to get into his mind. He held his eyes on Tia, not giving away the elf Rubik was trying to mentally talk with him. The elf was the enemy, he needed to block him. For some reason he was having trouble blocking the thoughts. "It is all right Master Frank, we will get you help as soon as we can. It will be all right, young Master. Why the elf thought he needed help made no sense, but the thought help was coming, dug a spot deep in his gut.
Tia’s
Tia smirked. She hated bullies and now she was looking at several. “I am Not A Child, Traitor! Now Release Luke or Answer To The Core!”
Bren was really starting to worry as Tia was a loose cannon. “Damir is just getting her madder. At least Damir does not realize what he has. Where is Fixer?” He had to draw Damir’s attention away from Luke and Tia. “That girl and me are going to have a major chat. She is endangering Luke!”
Tia exploded, “My Father and Brother! I AM NOT Your Pet! I AM Tia Andreas Leader of The Core and Your Worst Nightmare!” Tia looked at her friends, then glared at the bullies holding them. The princess was beyond mad that Shadow yet again dared to send lackeys instead of facing her. Smiling through the pain as she knew that help was coming.
Tia glared at Alec from her position on the floor. He had sold her cousin Lance out. The pain was still her main concern as she once again screamed. She wondered as she tried to get her mind off the pain, "I wish I was an empath as I am really not liking how that bully holding Luke is looking at me. Lance says we Andreas have special blood magic. Why is mine so destructive?" She prayed she was doing the right thing.
Luke could only pray that the maniac who tortured him and Liam in the Shack would not kill him. “Tia needs to calm down cause I doubt this group works for Shadow.” Luke wondered if he should try and calm her. “No, my talking might only enrage this maniac more. I remember what he put me and Liam through at the Shack. Hopefully he won’t wonder why I am not begging for the medicine.” Luke could only hope his leader knew what she and Alec were doing.
Brennan eyes went to the knife at his cousin Luke’s throat. A memory of another time came to his mind. He felt scared as the blade at his throat inched closer. He heard, “Stop Dawson and Potter! Unless you want This Young One Gutted!” He watched in horror as his favorite uncle and the other Auror froze. He tried to fight his captor only to be told, “Be Still Child! And Watch!” He then watched as Dawson and Potter were forced to their knees and bound.”
Bren snapped out of the memory and prayed that Damir had no clue to the leverage he now held at knife point.
The pain almost over took Tia as she almost blacked-out. Shaking her head to keep the darkness at bay. “No, if I black-out my friends are helpless. I am their leader and must lead by example!”, Tia reasoned even though the pain was almost too much to bare.
The princess smiled as she barely whispered, “Reminds me of my first year and facing that Centaur!”
Alec inwardly cringed as there went that plan. The collar was the only real problem to him using his Shadow Magic. He nodded to Damir and obeyed. “As long as this collar is on I have no choice but to obey.” He just prayed that Rub’ik knew how much pain Tia could handle. His blood brother had been a major help in so many ways.
Luke tried to glance at Tia. He prayed she would understand. He tried to lower himself to his knees and almost cut his own throat in the process. Luke glanced up at his captor.
Tia had enough with these bullies. Still working on the pain she and most likely her husband Landon was feeling, Tia thought, “These bullies are going to learn Not to Mess with My Friends!” She felt Landon’s rage barely. Tia knew that Landon would come for her and he would bring major Medjai reinforcements. She smiled as she said through the pain, “Alec, You better Run!”
Alec’s face went white as Tia’s words hit home. “Landon is still coming. He put his own brother Jackson in the hospital over Tia. They don’t get it. Landon does not get that I am trying to save his girl from major pain.” He prayed that Rub’ik could use his connection to the elf’s brother Darik to calm Landon down.
Alec said to Tia, “I am trying Princess to stop a Blood Bath!” He knew thanks to Damir, Tia was too enraged to listen to reason. He just hoped that somebody was on the island to stop what Jonathan had saw.
Tia felt the pain leave. “Moon and Rub’ik”, she thought as she saw the elves being taken to Damir. She had to help them. Glaring at Alec for his lack of protecting Rub’ik. She saw Alec’s face and mentally kicked herself.
Alec, holding back the tears, watched his blood brother Rub’ik and Tia’s assistant Moon being given to Damir. “Oh brother, maybe you and Moon should have stayed at Hogwarts. Forgive me but as long as I wear this collar, I dare not oppose him. I wish Damir had not saw you two. Now Cousin Damir is just going to enrage Tia more! You know how she feels about the way some treat elves.” Getting up, Tia decided that it was time for these bullies to feel pain. She used what she had learned from her brother’s friends on Fixer’s island. She had gotten Moon into this by not having her stay with Landon, “As if Moon would have anyway. In her eyes, I am her charge.”,Tia had to protect her little friends.
Tia screamed as she tried to get between the elves and the PACT Traitor Damir, “Traitor, Leave those Elves Alone! Moon and Rub’ik get behind me please.” This bully was going to learn that messing with her friends was a very bad idea.
“You are a Bully and a Traitor! Even my protectors don’t order me like some child!” Tia enraged said. She saw her father’s friend Frank Cole and smiled. “Now You Traitor Face PACT justice!”, Tia said wondering how many came with Fixer.
She watched as Fixer manhandle Brennan. “Fixer! My Father and Brother trusted you! Leave Bren Alone!” Tia said furious as it was her wedding all over again. She had nearly killed Frank Cole that day. In her fury, she lashed out at the guards nearest to her.
Bren inwardly smiled as his blood magic picked up that Damir had not fully brainwashed Fixer. He glanced at Tia and prayed Fixer would not hurt her too bad calming the princess down. “Fixer, please if you can still hear me, calm her down. Damir has her furious.” He would use this time to profile. “I need to profile the leader, the one that has Marco and possibly Fixer and Alec,” Sherlock thought hoping the knowledge his profiling would gain them would keep them alive until help got there.
Tia started fighting Fixer’s hold until he mentioned about one of her ancestors. She froze as she said still furious, “And Just what story would that be, Traitor? You told me many!” Tia noticed his body language was sending mixed signals. She thought back to want she had learned from him.
Tia shook her head but listened trying to figure out what needed done. Tia was scared for her friends. She was furious at the bullies. She looked at Fixer unsure whether he was still the friend to the Core. His betrayal hurt the worst as her father trained Frank. “I don’t like Bullies! So Unhand me! What is wrong with you? How could first Alec and Now you Betray us? Especially to Shadow! Now where is that Maniac?” Tia had no clue what to do especially now with Fixer seeming to have betrayed them. Fixer had been picked by Derik's Grand Sire to help test the Dark One. The princess was starting to doubt if she could ever truly trust her instincts. As tears entered her eyes, she wondered why her husband’s blood guardian’s betrayal hurt the worst.
COLE START HERE WITH POSTS
Cole turned to Tia when she lashed out at the guard. He grabbed her hair and pulled. "You will shut up now, Tia. You are not a princess here. You will only be allowed to do what your new Master tells you, you can do. Look around Tia." Cole used her hair to force her to look around where she stood. "Would you like me to show you what can happen to you? Who shall we use? Who do you want to sacrifice so you can have a temper tantrum?"
"The Shadow has nothing to do with this place, Tia. If he were here, he would be a prisoner. He would learn what it was like to be a pet to Lord Damir."
Cole could read the girl. She was scared and was using the angry movements to try and prove she wasn't. "The elves are in their new Master's care. They will be medically checked to make sure they are healthy and then they will be used to entertain Master Damir, in any way he sees fit. If you like maybe I can convince the Master to let you watch and even help with their training." Cole chuckled. He knew one of the first places the elves would be sent, after the medical wing would be the Birthing Center. Master Damir, would want to know if they could be cross breed.
Cole held Tia, by her hair, out at arm's length. "The Master has asked that you change like the rest have done. Men wear the rough trousers and sandals. Females wear the shifts and sandals if they are lucky to gain favor from their caretakers. You are not obeying your Master. Let me help you with the decision." Cole reached out and ripped the sleeves out of Tia's shirt. He then grabbed the back of the collar and pulled down hard, separating the side seams. Tia was forced to hold the shirt up to the front of her. "Now, get behind the screen and put on the shift thrown over it or I will remove the rest of your clothing right here. The Master does not have to let you wear clothes. He is actually being kind in letting you have the shift." Cole threw her toward the back of the screen. Then turned toward Master Damir and bowed low.
DAMIR
Damir saw Brennan's eyes go to the knife he held close to Luke's neck, as the girl spouted off. She was going to be so much fun to train. She would of course get medically checked out and samples of her body would be taken, but he had decided to keep her out of the Birthing Center. He wanted her pure for now. Maybe to teach her what it was he was saving her from, he would let her watch as each of the boys were turned over to the woman trying desperately to get pregnant so they could move to the next step of their lives, a place with luxuries all of them dreamed about. "Ah pet, you are going to be so much fun to train. I might even make you my own special project."
Damir kept the knife close to Luke's neck, but he allowed the boy to slip to his knees. When he looked up Damir patted his head and cooed, "Very well done my pet. It is good to see you are willing to accept your new life. I promise you it will make things so much easier. Now, stay still." Again he patted Luke's head and even rubbed his hand on his hair.
Damir did not move when Tia told Alec to run. He needed to know if the boy was truly turned back to him. When the boy did not attempt to run, Damir smiled.
Damir cocked his head slightly when he saw the expression on Alec's face as the elves were placed in front of him. At least one of the little treasures meant something special to his pet. But which one was it? Maybe he could have some fun solving the problem.
Damir was very pleased with the way Frank Cole was acting. He still had not done anything truly rotten to any of the new prisoners, but he was getting close. Whoever Tia choose to have punished in her stead would show a lot of who she cared for. When he saw Cole glance his way he smiled and nodded. Damir knew he hadn't given Frank Cole a full session in the chair. He also knew Cole could not fight what he was told to do. He might be fighting inside, but his brain would be ordering his body to do the deed. Damir planned on using that, very soon.
It appeared this coin was some type of homing device. The way Cole was reacting, only Tia could shut the one down he was holding. Damir would make sure to tell the tech department about it and see what they could figure out. If they could control the coins then maybe they wouldn't have to go after people, the people would come to them thinking they were helping their fellow wizard.
Damir was hearing more and more about this Shadow person. He was going to have to get the wizard to come to the island, whether he wanted to or not. The man sounded intriguing. Even with all the bravado Tia was using, Damir knew the girl was afraid of the wizard.
Damir's smile was getting bigger. He definitely had plans for the elves. With Cole's agreement they were his to do with as he liked, maybe he would turn their training over to Cole. That would be interesting. Cole was due for his three hour stay at the Birthing Center, very soon. Maybe Damir would send the elves and the boys with him. He would be able to set up in the viewing loft and watch the fun. The thought of taking Tia to the loft with him, made him chuckle again.
When Cole turned back to him and bowed, it took everything in Damir's power not to clap his hands. Cole's eyes were filled with questions, but the wizard was acting perfectly. Damir stood there and waited for Tia to come out from behind the screen. It would have been more fun to have her change in the middle of the room, but this way she would know Cole was his pet now.
Damir turned back to the two elves who were being held by the back collars of their tops in front of him. He reached out and lightly rubbed his hand down the side of the face of the female. It was surprisingly soft. He rubbed the points of her ears. He had read somewhere that this was a caress to the elves. She was shaking, but otherwise she made no movement to move away from his touch. Very good. The elf was stubborn but she was not unaffected by his touch or closeness.
Damir grabbed a handful of the male's hair and yanked his head back. He looked into the Elf's eyes. They showed no fear. Well that would change soon enough. "You know you cannot use your magic in this room, Elf. We have had to learn to block magic on this island. Some might know where you are, but if they try and come they will end up in the waters on the other side of the horizon. You and the female will be taken to the medical unit, where the doctor is going to take some samples. I have not decided what will happen to you immediately after that, it will all depend on if you can stand, or if you are conscious. Eventually you will make a visit to the Birthing center, where you will get some firsthand knowledge of how wizards are conceived. If you are good and do as you are told, I will make it an enjoyable time for you and the female, if not then you will not have a good experience."
Damir threw his hand back forcing the male elf to take a step backward. The male looked at the female and Damir was positive they signaled each other about something, but he didn't care. It was going to be a good show.
Damir walked over to where, Brennan, Luke, Alec and Liam were kneeling on the floor. "Alec you will take Liam, Brennan and Luke to the medical unit. The doctor is waiting for you." Damir looked at Liam when the boy whimpered. "You all will submit to the doctor." Damir reached out and touched the top of Liam's head. "It will be all right pet. You have done this before. Submit and it will not be so bad." Damir heard a bare whisper of "Yes, Lord Damir."
"Good, when you are done at the hospital, Cole will come and get all of you and you will go as a group to the Birthing Center." Damir chuckled as Alec's head came up a look of panic clear etched his face, and Liam started to cry and shake his head no. Damir again touched Liam's head. "I know it will be a new experience for you, pet, but I guarantee you will enjoy it."
Damir looked up and looked at the other three guards. "Take them away. Use the chains and leashes if you must to keep them together. Stay with the group. The doctor can do anything he wants to any of them. If any of them refuse to submit, you have my permission to tie them down. When the doctor tells you he is done, let me know and I will send Pet Cole to get them. You are also to follow them to the Birthing Center and make sure the ladies don't have a problem getting them to submit to their wills. When they are done, take them all to the holding room. At that time each of you may have one hour each in the birthing center as a treat. Now go."
Damir turned to the two guards holding the elves. "Take them to the medical unit. The doctor can also do anything he wants to them, but tell the doctor I want them alive and able to move around, when he is done. When the doctor is done with them, let me know. I wish to personally be there when they are shown the Birthing Center. Of course, when everyone is settled back in the holding room, including the elves, you two may also take advantage of the pleasures of the Birthing center, for one hour. Now go."
Damir watched as the two groups were lead out of the room. He turned back to Tia and said, "Now what should we do to keep you entertained, Pet?"
Tia, Brennan, Luke, Alec, Liam and Marco
Tia turned and glared at the man for daring to refer to her once again as a pet. He was infuriating her. Tia wanted so much to pull her daggers and show the man exactly how she dealt with his kind. Instead all she said furious, “I hope you try Traitor! Cause Grand Amir Tia Andreas is Nobody’s Pet!”
Luke had hoped the man would have relaxed thinking he was no threat. “If he did not have this knife to my throat I know cousin Bren would be all business right now.”, Luke thought as he sought a new plan. He glanced at the man with Professor Marco. Smiling as his special gift tapped, “The man is not a willing traitor.” Luke tried to glance between Bren and Tia praying their gifts were picking up what his was.
Bren inwardly smiled as Fixer had given him a way to cut down the odds. Outwardly he hoped the true Fixer was still in there. Luke had noticed something concerning the man holding Marco’s leash.
Tia inwardly shook as she tried to use what she learned to protect her friends. Glaring at Fixer as she demanded, “No One is a Master of an Andreas, Fixer! You might call that Traitor, Master but I never will!” She thought of her Family line’s motto and inwardly cringed as she said as she stood tall, “No One Takes the Fall for an Andreas! We handle our own scores!”
“You want it shut down then send Luke, the elves and Bren home to Hogwarts or Your Master can face the Core’s Champion? His choice,” Tia said praying that Fixer would remember that he had been called the Core’s Champion by both Tia and Landon.
Tia felt embarrassed but just glared at the man holding Luke at knife point. At that moment Bren and Marco acted by both heading towards Damir.
Marco knew that Tia was no match for the PACT Traitor. He wished all of the Spellman Quints were near enough. “You would Dare Traitor to Violate your vow to her father! Send her back to Hogwarts Now Traitor!” He had to get Damir’s attention off the young head-strong princess. It was time for the Trickster to show he was far from broken. Turning quickly Marco got his legs around Tamir and yanked.
Smiling as he prayed this would help Tia by throwing attention towards the guard near him. Bren jumped up and went straight for Marco’s handler. “You should know by now Fixer, I don’t take orders! I give them!” Bren said praying he was right and the true Fixer was still there.
Tia was furious as she screamed, “Unhand Moon! How dare you touch her!” She pleaded with Moon to teach the human that dared touch a daughter and grandson of Tal’mac.
Alec was in almost a panic as he watched Damir manhandle Rub’ik. He chanced a mental chat with his blood-brother, “Rub’ik, I can’t standby as he treats you so. I want to hurt him but am unsure if I can as the collar’s current is messing with my Shadow Magic. I feel helpless unable to protect you and ashamed that Tia seems so brave and willing to continue fighting even knowing she can’t win. Rub’ik, I want to break free but if I do then I risk Rosa.” Alec really was scared for his friends but was unsure of how to save them without risking Rosa. Landon had stood with Tia against his family and won. “Why can’t I?”, Alec was afraid that deep inside he was just a coward.
Tia’s eyes got a look in them as she shook her head, “I told you, I Am Not Your Pet! Release the others, Free Fixer from whatever you did Now! Then Face Our Champion! Cause Traitor, The only thing I want is Your Head!” Tia was furious. This traitor had turned her father’s best friend against her and her friends.
Tia saw a guard bow to the traitor saying that the Clan Enforcer was furious he could not get on his own island. She smiled as the guard was giving the elves what they needed to disappear.
The guard bowed very low as he relayed The Enforcer’s orders to drop the shield and let him on. “He also said that you my lord better have a v-e-r-y g-o-o-d reason for being on total lockdown without informing him first!”
(OOC: This section contains Tia, Brennan, Luke, Alec, Liam and Marco, all the characters I am doing for this thread.)
Cole, Damir, Tamir, Rubik, Moon
Damir reached out and backhanded Tia. He didn't put any serious force into the blow, just enough to get her undivided attention. "Ah, but Pet," he said adding emphasis to the word she hated so much, "you are going to eventually mind. I have not shown you all of my secrets here in the castle." He patted her head as he put his face close to hers, "But, don't you worry, I plan on you, experiences everything I have to offer." He stepped back.
Cole looked at coin in his hand. There was something about it he should be remembering. Some thought was trying to break through the haze. He knew the Master was right in all things. He also knew in his past life he had protected the children. Tia was one of them. The only way he had of protecting her, was to get her to give into the Master's demands. She would not suffer so much that way. The Master would give her the amount of pain she had never felt before. He had to get her to realize this, somehow.
A new thought rammed into his head, snaking through as a thought he knew should not exist. It was from Darik, an elf in his old life. Landon had shut down the coin at the other end. He was not alone. Why that made him feel hope and fear at the same time he didn't know. Maybe he would talk to the Master later about it.
Tia had mentioned the name "champion". This name sent a shiver down his spine that he tried to hide. The Master would not be happy that something from his past could affect him enough that his body would react.
Cole acted fast. Two of the guards were now on the floor. Brennan was headed toward Tia and Marco was headed toward him. His first priority was getting Marco down. They were about equal in fighting skills, but Marco had been kept chained, so Cole knew the man was possibly stiff and under nourished. Cole went down in a crouch and twirled, with his leg extended. He took Marco's feet out from under him. As the man fell Cole brought his elbow down on Marco's back right between the man's shoulder blades. Marco would not be getting up for a few moments, which would allow the guards to get a hold of him.
Cole looked toward the Master and winced. The knife at Luke's throat, had made a line where a small amount of blood was trickling out in a few places. The Master nodded at him. The Master had control over the boy.
Cole spun and found Brennan attacking Tia's guard. He headed over, grabbed Brennan's shoulder and spun him around. As the wizard spun, Cole slammed a right cross into his cheek. He tried very hard to hold back enough that nothing would be broken, but he had to get Brennan, down. Cole stuck out his leg and swept Brennan's feet from under him, sending him to the floor. Two guards pounced on top of the man. Cole turned to Tia, grabbed her arm and raised his hand to strike her. He couldn't get his hand to finish the arc. He couldn't hit the girl. He stared for a moment then threw her to the floor. Two more guards picked her up and held her so her toes barely made contact with the stone.
Moon wanted to fight but a look from Rubik told her that no matter what happened she was not to strike out. Their magic had been taken away somehow. She had fighting skills, but the young Mistress, who she had sworn to protect, was in too much danger. Moon knew she could not get the mistress away fast enough. It took everything in her training not to lash out and show the human's what she was capable of. The Mistress would not understand. Moon hoped the Mistress would learn to be quiet and bid her time, but she also knew it was not a likely thing to happen.
Rubik looked at his captor as steadily as he could. Without his magic, everything he did would be slower. Moon had gotten his unspoken message to not fight at the moment. He was worried about Mistress Tia though. The human female seemed determined to try and stand up to the captors. This was only going to cause her pain, both physical and mental.
He was worried about their visit to the Medical center. So often in the past when either he or Moon had sought medical attention away from the school, the administrations of the doctors had leaned toward experimentation, most of it painful. He had, several times, needed to help Moon through the after math of a simple exam. Dr. Kildare at the school had told him never, go to a different medical center. Rubik was afraid this was going to be like the last one they had visited. He looked at Moon, and tried to send her a non-spoken message to be brave. He was afraid the Birthing Center visit was not going to be pleasant for him or his mate either.
Darik, his brother, had been able to get a couple very short images through to him. They were not alone. Help would come as soon as possible. Rubik only hoped it was soon. Leaving the young Mistress with their captor was going to be hard on his mate, but she would just have to remember, this time in their lives was just a short period of time to be endured. He was glad she was strong in her beliefs.
Damir looked at Cole, daring the man to interfere. He smiled when Cole took a step back from the girl, put his hands behind his back and bowed his head. Damir had seen a slight body change come over his pet when the name "Champion" had been mentioned. That name meant something to Frank Cole. Damir was going to have to find out what the connection was. He would turn the coin over to his technicians and see if they could follow the signal back to the outside world. To do that though he would have to drop the shut down status and that was definitely not going to happen.
Damir stepped up to the girl and stared down at her. Her eyes showed such defiance, but she was scared also and that he could work with. Maybe a short session on the machine would get her thinking she needed to give in to his authority. He was sure she thought she was going to be rescued either by one of the others already there, or by someone getting onto the island. Damir never took anything for granted. The elves magic was blocked, and the techs all said there was no way for someone to get on the island, but Damir had guards on every possible Port-key entrance, guards roamed every section of the parameter of the island, guards were stationed in the dungeon and around the outside area. Many of them were dressed in regular work clothes, so they would not immediately be taken as a threat by infiltrators. He would be willing to bet it would be Elfin Magic which would make a difference. The elf's were guarded by guards who knew they were to be used as shields. Tia would also get the same treatment.
Damir balled his fists up at his side. He had to make a choice. He could drop the shield so Markus could get on the island, if it was really Markus trying to get him to drop the shield. If the timing was done correctly the shield would only have to be down for about three seconds. Besides the Enforcer could come ashore by boat and travel the short distance over land to get to the castle. Damir stood taller and squared his shoulders. He turned to the closest guard and said, "Get a message to the Enforcer. Tell him because of problems he will have to enter the island over the water and land. I will explain to him why I am doing this." Damir was not about to lose the advantage he had gained.
"Yes, Lord Damir." The guard did not look enthused about delivering the message. He would probably pass in on down the line. The Enforcer had been known to kill the person delivering a message he did not like. Damir looked at the girl and smiled. It was time for her to learn a lesson.
(OOC: Continued in Everywhere Else > Tia Learns Many Unwanted Lessons (Mathew's Island))
Damir looked at the young man, he was definitely becoming a treasure. Having the young girl in his power, gave him leverage to greater power, both from his Step-father and Uncle. He just had to decide which of them he wanted to turn the girl over too. First he needed to train the girl to do his bidding. That way in the future she would still look to him for instructions, if things went wrong with the other two Alpha's. Before he could formulate any plan, Marco and Brennan decided to cause some problems.
"Leave her out of this! The Children are not a part of this war!"
Damir turned toward Brennan. "That is where you are wrong, Pet. The children are what is making this war go on. Their futures will fuel the conquest my family is making. Controlling them will allow us to control the future."
Alec asked not daring to look any of them in the eye, "What are your orders My Lord?"
Damir looked at Alec. "You have done good today. You will keep the collar on for a little while longer though. You have shown your faithfulness to me, but I have further tests you must pass before you are allowed to remove it." Damir looked around the room. "As for the rest of you, on your knees."
Tamir gave a powerful yank on Marco's leach and pulled the wizard back down to the ground. He pushed Marco's head to the floor and placed his boot on the back of Marco's neck. "Stay still pet or our arrangement will be carried out, but I will use one of the others to accept your punishment."
Damir smiled. "Very well done brother, you are learning." Damir saw two shimmers in the air, one at Tia's side and one at Brennan's side. He thought about the pain the girl had felt. Alec, who was taking credit for it wouldn't have had the ability on his own. Something or someone... Damir smiled and whispered in one of the guards ears. The guard looked around, smiled and went to stand between, Tia and Brennan. Damir called out, seemingly to the room in general. "Close this room down." The room was now closed off from the outside. There was an actual cloud around the building, to anyone looking at it from the outside. The werewolves clan did not depend on magic to survive, which meant they had to find ways to counter it, sort of a dampening system. The room was now blocked from magic coming in or magic being used within the walls. It took a lot of energy to do this, so it wasn't used very often.
The guard's smile grew bigger as two elves appeared in the spots where Damir had noticed the wavers in the air. Both were grabbed by the guard. "Now what do we have here? It seems we have uninvited guest. Bring them here." The guard dragged Rub'ik and Moon to in front of Damir. "So would you like to tell me your names?" This was a fantastic find. He now had two captive elves and as long as he kept their magic at bay he would be able to examine them. The medical unit was going to have fun with this one. Maybe he could mate them and start his own little crop of elves, who would do exactly as he said. Interesting.
Movement from Tia, sent his eyes back to her.
"Take off all of your clothes and put this on." Damir tightened his grip on Luke and the knife's edge was now up against the young man's artery. "Now, Tia."
Damir looked at the group in front of him. The boys had all changed into the loose fitting brown, work pants. Damir had been made to wear them for a week one time by his mother, as punishment. They were rough and scratchy to say the least. He looked at Tia standing in front of him and said, "I thought I told you to get in the screen and change. If I were you I would do it now. I will have my orders followed. I can always have you change out here in the open. I can even have some of my guards help you, if you are having a problem following my orders."
COLE
Cole walked down the long hallway. He knew he had been in the machine, but he was unsure what was reality at the moment. Was he a mercenary who wanted to fight Lord Damir, or was he Lord Damir's trusted servant who had been brainwashed by others to want to hurt his Master? The truth felt like it was the latter, so he was going to try and make it up to Lord Damir for any disrespect he had shown.
As he reached the main room, he stopped in the doorway, barely opening the door in front of him so he could see and hear what was happening.
Alec reached down and picked up the coin. He said into it, "Landon don't!" He handed the coin to Damir saying on bended knee, "Lord Damir, you almost had trouble. This is a signal coin! Only the Princess can use it. Can I remove the collar?"
Why Alec had told Landon "don't" made no sense. The only person who could use that coin was Tia. It was conditioned to her and her alone. Alec was still trying to hedge his bets on which side to be on. That would have to end. Cole liked the boy and didn't want to see him hurt or killed because he didn't know which side was the strongest.
(Tia) "So you are the PACT Traitor! I have seen you."
(Damir) "Now how would you know about the PACT? You are a child and have no say so in what adults do or have done in the past. Soon pet you will learn your place."
(Alex) "Lord Damir, Tia is Lance Kildare's cousin. Her mother was Tamika McChey. Grand Alpha Matthew might be very happy with her capture..."
(Brennan) "Leave her out of this! The Children are not a part of this war!"
(Damir) "That is where you are wrong, Pet. The children are what is making this war go on. Their futures will fuel the conquest my family is making. Controlling them will allow us to control the future."
(Damir) "Now how would you know about the PACT? You are a child and have no say so in what adults do or have done in the past. Soon pet you will learn your place."
(Alex) "Lord Damir, Tia is Lance Kildare's cousin. Her mother was Tamika McChey. Grand Alpha Matthew might be very happy with her capture..."
(Brennan) "Leave her out of this! The Children are not a part of this war!"
(Damir) "That is where you are wrong, Pet. The children are what is making this war go on. Their futures will fuel the conquest my family is making. Controlling them will allow us to control the future."
Now that was an interesting chain of events. Tia, like always could not keep her mouth shut. Damir was determined to treat her like a child, which would only make her more upset and make her probably spout off more. Brennan and Marco were drawing more attention to the children. Damir would start concentrating on them, once their value was brought fully to his attention. Cole knew the boys could probably take the punishment which could be metered out, but he doubted Tia had ever felt the whip on her skin. Something in the back of his brain told him he needed to stop that from happing at any cost, but he pushed the thought away as being from when he had been brainwashed by the outside world to disobey Lord Damir.
(Alec) "What are your orders My Lord?"
(Damir) "You have done good today. You will keep the collar on for a little while longer though. You have shown your faithfulness to me, but I have further tests you must pass before you are allowed to remove it. ... As for the rest of you, on your knees."
(Damir) "You have done good today. You will keep the collar on for a little while longer though. You have shown your faithfulness to me, but I have further tests you must pass before you are allowed to remove it. ... As for the rest of you, on your knees."
Cole watched from the shadows. Liam immediately went to his knees and bent his head. Alec put his other knee on the floor and bent his head. Brennan stood tall with his fists down at his side. Interesting. Tia was also still standing. The girl never learned that sometimes you have to give into the situation in order to be able to proceed and survive.
(Tamir) "Stay still pet or our arrangement will be carried out, but I will use one of the others to accept your punishment."
Tamir had control of Marco who was now on the floor, his head being pushed into the rock flooring.
(Damir) "Very well done brother, you are learning. ...
Cole watched as Tamir smiled at his brothers praise. Marco was just going to have to learn, life would be less painful for him if he could help keep that smile on his new Masters face.
(Damir) "...Close this room down. ... Now what do we have here? It seems we have uninvited guest. Bring them here. ... "I thought I told you to get in the screen and change. If I were you I would do it now. I will have my orders followed. I can always have you change out here in the open. I can even have some of my guards help you, if you are having a problem following my orders."
Cole recognized the two elves. Moon was Tia's personal body guard. Rub'ik was Darik's brother. Why the elf was here, Cole had no idea. Capturing the elves would not have been possible. For some reason the elf had come on his own. Lord Damir was going to be thrilled. He had always wanted an elf to experiment on and try and train. Looked like Rub'ik and Moon had just volunteered for the honor.
It was time for Cole to enter the room and show Lord Damir he had learned from his past mistakes. He hoped his Master would understand he had not realized he had been brainwashed by the outside world to disobey him. He hoped his punishment would not be too severe. He would accept it with dignity of course. Lord Damir truly cared about the people who served him.
Cole walked past Lord Damir, straight to Brennan. He slammed his fist into the man's face. "You will obey your new Master. Now kneel." Cole grabbed the Brennan's hair, pulled him forward and roughly pushed his forehead in to the rock floor. "You will remain that way until Lord Damir deems it right for you to rise even a little bit." Cole looked at the nearby guard, "If he gets up you will suffer, am I understood?" Cole was not sure he had the authority to do what he was doing, but he was going to take the chance. His new visions had shown him that at one time he had the ability to tell other men what to do. He was just hoping it was in this reality and not the other one which had been forced on him.
He walked over to Lord Damir and held out his hand. His Master was able to tell what he wanted and placed the coin in his palm. Cole stepped to Tia and grabbed her by the shirt she was wearing, pulling her on to the tip of her toes and close to him. "Princess, you have no clue what can happen here if you do not settle down and do as you are told. This is real life, not some story you have been told about one of your ancestors." Cole held the coin up in front of her face. "Shut it down. If they come they cannot win. Do you hear me?" Cole knew he was talking to more than Tia. The coin was active so anyone with a like coin could hear what was being said. "Shut it down Tia, or live with the lives of your friends and family who will be lost this day."
Cole felt someone trying to get into his mind. He held his eyes on Tia, not giving away the elf Rubik was trying to mentally talk with him. The elf was the enemy, he needed to block him. For some reason he was having trouble blocking the thoughts. "It is all right Master Frank, we will get you help as soon as we can. It will be all right, young Master. Why the elf thought he needed help made no sense, but the thought help was coming, dug a spot deep in his gut.
Tia’s
Damir continued to hold the knife with on hand against Luke's throat, while reaching out and taking the coin. He turned it over in his hand a couple of times, then looked at the girl. Chuckling he said, "You are a feisty one aren't you child."
Tia smirked. She hated bullies and now she was looking at several. “I am Not A Child, Traitor! Now Release Luke or Answer To The Core!”
Bren was really starting to worry as Tia was a loose cannon. “Damir is just getting her madder. At least Damir does not realize what he has. Where is Fixer?” He had to draw Damir’s attention away from Luke and Tia. “That girl and me are going to have a major chat. She is endangering Luke!”
"Now how would you know about the PACT? You are a child and have no say so in what adults do or have done in the past. Soon pet you will learn your place."
Tia exploded, “My Father and Brother! I AM NOT Your Pet! I AM Tia Andreas Leader of The Core and Your Worst Nightmare!” Tia looked at her friends, then glared at the bullies holding them. The princess was beyond mad that Shadow yet again dared to send lackeys instead of facing her. Smiling through the pain as she knew that help was coming.
(Alex) had an idea and prayed it worked, "Lord Damir, Tia is Lance Kildare's cousin. Her mother was Tamika McChey. Grand Alpha Matthew might be very happy with her capture..."
Damir looked at the young man, .... Having the young girl in his power, gave him leverage to greater power, both from his Step-father and Uncle. He just had to decide which of them he wanted to turn the girl over too. First he needed to train the girl to do his bidding. That way in the future she would still look to him for instructions, if things went wrong with the other two Alpha's. Before he could formulate any plan, Marco and Brennan decided to cause some problems.

That way in the future she would still look to him for instructions, if things went wrong with the other two Alpha's. Before he could formulate any plan, Marco and Brennan decided to cause some problems.
Tia glared at Alec from her position on the floor. He had sold her cousin Lance out. The pain was still her main concern as she once again screamed. She wondered as she tried to get her mind off the pain, "I wish I was an empath as I am really not liking how that bully holding Luke is looking at me. Lance says we Andreas have special blood magic. Why is mine so destructive?" She prayed she was doing the right thing.
Luke could only pray that the maniac who tortured him and Liam in the Shack would not kill him. “Tia needs to calm down cause I doubt this group works for Shadow.” Luke wondered if he should try and calm her. “No, my talking might only enrage this maniac more. I remember what he put me and Liam through at the Shack. Hopefully he won’t wonder why I am not begging for the medicine.” Luke could only hope his leader knew what she and Alec were doing.
Damir turned toward Brennan. "That is where you are wrong, Pet. The children are what is making this war go on. Their futures will fuel the conquest my family is making. Controlling them will allow us to control the future."
Brennan eyes went to the knife at his cousin Luke’s throat. A memory of another time came to his mind. He felt scared as the blade at his throat inched closer. He heard, “Stop Dawson and Potter! Unless you want This Young One Gutted!” He watched in horror as his favorite uncle and the other Auror froze. He tried to fight his captor only to be told, “Be Still Child! And Watch!” He then watched as Dawson and Potter were forced to their knees and bound.”
Bren snapped out of the memory and prayed that Damir had no clue to the leverage he now held at knife point.
The pain almost over took Tia as she almost blacked-out. Shaking her head to keep the darkness at bay. “No, if I black-out my friends are helpless. I am their leader and must lead by example!”, Tia reasoned even though the pain was almost too much to bare.
The princess smiled as she barely whispered, “Reminds me of my first year and facing that Centaur!”
Damir looked at Alec. "You have done good today. You will keep the collar on for a little while longer though. You have shown you faithfulness to me, but I have further tests you must pass before you are allowed to remove it." Damir looked around the room. "As for the rest of you, on your knees."
Alec inwardly cringed as there went that plan. The collar was the only real problem to him using his Shadow Magic. He nodded to Damir and obeyed. “As long as this collar is on I have no choice but to obey.” He just prayed that Rub’ik knew how much pain Tia could handle. His blood brother had been a major help in so many ways.
Luke tried to glance at Tia. He prayed she would understand. He tried to lower himself to his knees and almost cut his own throat in the process. Luke glanced up at his captor.
Tamir gave a powerful yank on Marco's leach and pulled the wizard back down to the ground. He pushed Marco's head to the floor and placed his boot on the back of Marco's neck. "Stay still pet or our arrangement will be carried out, but I will use one of the others to accept your punishment."
Tia had enough with these bullies. Still working on the pain she and most likely her husband Landon was feeling, Tia thought, “These bullies are going to learn Not to Mess with My Friends!” She felt Landon’s rage barely. Tia knew that Landon would come for her and he would bring major Medjai reinforcements. She smiled as she said through the pain, “Alec, You better Run!”
Alec’s face went white as Tia’s words hit home. “Landon is still coming. He put his own brother Jackson in the hospital over Tia. They don’t get it. Landon does not get that I am trying to save his girl from major pain.” He prayed that Rub’ik could use his connection to the elf’s brother Darik to calm Landon down.
Alec said to Tia, “I am trying Princess to stop a Blood Bath!” He knew thanks to Damir, Tia was too enraged to listen to reason. He just hoped that somebody was on the island to stop what Jonathan had saw.
The guard's smile grew bigger as two elves appeared in the spots where Damir had noticed the wavers in the air. Both were grabbed by the guard. "Now what do we have here? It seems we have uninvited guest. Bring them here." The guard dragged Rub'ik and Moon to in front of Damir. "So would you like to tell me your names?" This was a fantastic find. He now had to captive elves and as long as he kept their magic at bay he would be able to examine them. The medical unit was going to have fun with this one. Maybe he could mate them and start his own little crop of elves, who would do exactly as he said. Interesting.
Tia felt the pain leave. “Moon and Rub’ik”, she thought as she saw the elves being taken to Damir. She had to help them. Glaring at Alec for his lack of protecting Rub’ik. She saw Alec’s face and mentally kicked herself.
Alec, holding back the tears, watched his blood brother Rub’ik and Tia’s assistant Moon being given to Damir. “Oh brother, maybe you and Moon should have stayed at Hogwarts. Forgive me but as long as I wear this collar, I dare not oppose him. I wish Damir had not saw you two. Now Cousin Damir is just going to enrage Tia more! You know how she feels about the way some treat elves.” Getting up, Tia decided that it was time for these bullies to feel pain. She used what she had learned from her brother’s friends on Fixer’s island. She had gotten Moon into this by not having her stay with Landon, “As if Moon would have anyway. In her eyes, I am her charge.”,Tia had to protect her little friends.
Movement from Tia, sent his eyes back to her.
Damir looked at the circled screen set up close by. "I thought I told you to get in the screen and change. If I were you I would do it now. I will have my orders followed. I can always have you change out here in the open. I can even have some of my guards help you, if you are having a problem following my orders. "
Cole walked past Lord Damir, straight to Brennan. He slammed his fist into the man's face. "You will obey your new Master. Now kneel." Cole grabbed the Brennan's hair, pulled him forward and roughly pushed his forehead in to the rock floor. "You will remain that way until Lord Damir deems it right for you to rise even a little bit." Cole looked at the nearby guard, "If he gets up you will suffer, am I understood?"

Cole looked at the nearby guard, "If he gets up you will suffer, am I understood?"
Tia screamed as she tried to get between the elves and the PACT Traitor Damir, “Traitor, Leave those Elves Alone! Moon and Rub’ik get behind me please.” This bully was going to learn that messing with her friends was a very bad idea.
“You are a Bully and a Traitor! Even my protectors don’t order me like some child!” Tia enraged said. She saw her father’s friend Frank Cole and smiled. “Now You Traitor Face PACT justice!”, Tia said wondering how many came with Fixer.
She watched as Fixer manhandle Brennan. “Fixer! My Father and Brother trusted you! Leave Bren Alone!” Tia said furious as it was her wedding all over again. She had nearly killed Frank Cole that day. In her fury, she lashed out at the guards nearest to her.
Bren inwardly smiled as his blood magic picked up that Damir had not fully brainwashed Fixer. He glanced at Tia and prayed Fixer would not hurt her too bad calming the princess down. “Fixer, please if you can still hear me, calm her down. Damir has her furious.” He would use this time to profile. “I need to profile the leader, the one that has Marco and possibly Fixer and Alec,” Sherlock thought hoping the knowledge his profiling would gain them would keep them alive until help got there.
Cole stepped to Tia and grabbed her by the shirt she was wearing, pulling her on to the tip of her toes and close to him. "Princess, you have no clue what can happen here if you do not settle down and do as you are told. This is real life, so some story you have been told about one of your ancestor."
Tia started fighting Fixer’s hold until he mentioned about one of her ancestors. She froze as she said still furious, “And Just what story would that be, Traitor? You told me many!” Tia noticed his body language was sending mixed signals. She thought back to want she had learned from him.
Cole held the coin up in front of her face. "Shut it down. If they come they cannot win. Do you hear me?" Cole knew he was talking to more than Tia. The coin was active so anyone with a like coin could hear what was being said. "Shut it down Tia, or live with the lives of your friends and family who will be lost this day."
Tia shook her head but listened trying to figure out what needed done. Tia was scared for her friends. She was furious at the bullies. She looked at Fixer unsure whether he was still the friend to the Core. His betrayal hurt the worst as her father trained Frank. “I don’t like Bullies! So Unhand me! What is wrong with you? How could first Alec and Now you Betray us? Especially to Shadow! Now where is that Maniac?” Tia had no clue what to do especially now with Fixer seeming to have betrayed them. Fixer had been picked by Derik's Grand Sire to help test the Dark One. The princess was starting to doubt if she could ever truly trust her instincts. As tears entered her eyes, she wondered why her husband’s blood guardian’s betrayal hurt the worst.
COLE START HERE WITH POSTS
She watched as Fixer manhandle Brennan. “Fixer! My Father and Brother trusted you! Leave Bren Alone!” .... she lashed out at the guards nearest to her.
Cole turned to Tia when she lashed out at the guard. He grabbed her hair and pulled. "You will shut up now, Tia. You are not a princess here. You will only be allowed to do what your new Master tells you, you can do. Look around Tia." Cole used her hair to force her to look around where she stood. "Would you like me to show you what can happen to you? Who shall we use? Who do you want to sacrifice so you can have a temper tantrum?"
Cole held the coin up in front of her face. "Shut it down. If they come they cannot win. Do you hear me?" Cole knew he was talking to more than Tia. The coin was active so anyone with a like coin could hear what was being said. "Shut it down Tia, or live with the lives of your friends and family who will be lost this day."
Tia shook her head ... “... What is wrong with you? How could first Alec and Now you Betray us? Especially to Shadow! Now where is that Maniac?”
Tia shook her head ... “... What is wrong with you? How could first Alec and Now you Betray us? Especially to Shadow! Now where is that Maniac?”
"The Shadow has nothing to do with this place, Tia. If he were here, he would be a prisoner. He would learn what it was like to be a pet to Lord Damir."
Cole could read the girl. She was scared and was using the angry movements to try and prove she wasn't. "The elves are in their new Master's care. They will be medically checked to make sure they are healthy and then they will be used to entertain Master Damir, in any way he sees fit. If you like maybe I can convince the Master to let you watch and even help with their training." Cole chuckled. He knew one of the first places the elves would be sent, after the medical wing would be the Birthing Center. Master Damir, would want to know if they could be cross breed.
Damir looked at the circled screen set up close by. "I thought I told you to get in the screen and change. If I were you I would do it now. I will have my orders followed. I can always have you change out here in the open. I can even have some of my guards help you, if you are having a problem following my orders."
Cole held Tia, by her hair, out at arm's length. "The Master has asked that you change like the rest have done. Men wear the rough trousers and sandals. Females wear the shifts and sandals if they are lucky to gain favor from their caretakers. You are not obeying your Master. Let me help you with the decision." Cole reached out and ripped the sleeves out of Tia's shirt. He then grabbed the back of the collar and pulled down hard, separating the side seams. Tia was forced to hold the shirt up to the front of her. "Now, get behind the screen and put on the shift thrown over it or I will remove the rest of your clothing right here. The Master does not have to let you wear clothes. He is actually being kind in letting you have the shift." Cole threw her toward the back of the screen. Then turned toward Master Damir and bowed low.
DAMIR
(Tia) ... “I am Not A Child, Traitor! Now Release Luke or Answer To The Core! ... I AM NOT Your Pet! I AM Tia Andreas Leader of The Core and Your Worst Nightmare!”
Brennan eyes went to the knife at his cousin Luke’s throat. ...
Brennan eyes went to the knife at his cousin Luke’s throat. ...
Damir saw Brennan's eyes go to the knife he held close to Luke's neck, as the girl spouted off. She was going to be so much fun to train. She would of course get medically checked out and samples of her body would be taken, but he had decided to keep her out of the Birthing Center. He wanted her pure for now. Maybe to teach her what it was he was saving her from, he would let her watch as each of the boys were turned over to the woman trying desperately to get pregnant so they could move to the next step of their lives, a place with luxuries all of them dreamed about. "Ah pet, you are going to be so much fun to train. I might even make you my own special project."
Luke tried to glance at Tia. He prayed she would understand. He tried to lower himself to his knees and almost cut his own throat in the process. Luke glanced up at his captor.
Damir kept the knife close to Luke's neck, but he allowed the boy to slip to his knees. When he looked up Damir patted his head and cooed, "Very well done my pet. It is good to see you are willing to accept your new life. I promise you it will make things so much easier. Now, stay still." Again he patted Luke's head and even rubbed his hand on his hair.
(Tia) “Alec, You better Run!”
(Alec) said to Tia, “I am trying Princess to stop a Blood Bath!” ... Glaring at Alec for his lack of protecting Rub’ik. She saw Alec’s face and mentally kicked herself.
(Alec) said to Tia, “I am trying Princess to stop a Blood Bath!” ... Glaring at Alec for his lack of protecting Rub’ik. She saw Alec’s face and mentally kicked herself.
Damir did not move when Tia told Alec to run. He needed to know if the boy was truly turned back to him. When the boy did not attempt to run, Damir smiled.
Alec, holding back the tears, watched his blood brother Rub’ik and Tia’s assistant Moon being given to Damir. ...
Damir cocked his head slightly when he saw the expression on Alec's face as the elves were placed in front of him. At least one of the little treasures meant something special to his pet. But which one was it? Maybe he could have some fun solving the problem.
Cole .... slammed his fist into the [Bennan's] face. "You will obey your new Master. Now kneel." Cole grabbed the Brennan's hair, pulled him forward and roughly pushed his forehead in to the rock floor. "You will remain that way until Lord Damir deems it right for you to rise even a little bit." Cole looked at the nearby guard, "If he gets up you will suffer, am I understood?"
Cole turned to Tia ... He grabbed her hair and pulled. "You will shut up now, Tia. You are not a princess here. You will only be allowed to do what your new Master tells you, you can do. Look around Tia. ...Would you like me to show you what can happen to you? Who shall we use? Who do you want to sacrifice so you can have a temper tantrum?"
Cole turned to Tia ... He grabbed her hair and pulled. "You will shut up now, Tia. You are not a princess here. You will only be allowed to do what your new Master tells you, you can do. Look around Tia. ...Would you like me to show you what can happen to you? Who shall we use? Who do you want to sacrifice so you can have a temper tantrum?"
Damir was very pleased with the way Frank Cole was acting. He still had not done anything truly rotten to any of the new prisoners, but he was getting close. Whoever Tia choose to have punished in her stead would show a lot of who she cared for. When he saw Cole glance his way he smiled and nodded. Damir knew he hadn't given Frank Cole a full session in the chair. He also knew Cole could not fight what he was told to do. He might be fighting inside, but his brain would be ordering his body to do the deed. Damir planned on using that, very soon.
Cole held the coin up in front of [Tia's] face. "Shut it down. If they come they cannot win. Do you hear me? ...Shut it down Tia, or live with the lives of your friends and family who will be lost this day."
Tia shook her head ... “...How could ... you Betray us? Especially to Shadow! Now where is that Maniac?”
"The Shadow has nothing to do with this place, Tia. If he were here, he would be a prisoner. He would learn what it was like to be a pet to Lord Damir."
Tia shook her head ... “...How could ... you Betray us? Especially to Shadow! Now where is that Maniac?”
"The Shadow has nothing to do with this place, Tia. If he were here, he would be a prisoner. He would learn what it was like to be a pet to Lord Damir."
It appeared this coin was some type of homing device. The way Cole was reacting, only Tia could shut the one down he was holding. Damir would make sure to tell the tech department about it and see what they could figure out. If they could control the coins then maybe they wouldn't have to go after people, the people would come to them thinking they were helping their fellow wizard.
Damir was hearing more and more about this Shadow person. He was going to have to get the wizard to come to the island, whether he wanted to or not. The man sounded intriguing. Even with all the bravado Tia was using, Damir knew the girl was afraid of the wizard.
... "The elves are in their new Master's care. They will be medically checked to make sure they are healthy and then they will be used to entertain Master Damir, in any way he sees fit. If you like maybe I can convince the Master to let you watch and even help with their training." Cole chuckled. He knew one of the first places the elves would be sent, after the medical wing would be the Birthing Center. Master Damir, would want to know if they could be cross breed.
Damir's smile was getting bigger. He definitely had plans for the elves. With Cole's agreement they were his to do with as he liked, maybe he would turn their training over to Cole. That would be interesting. Cole was due for his three hour stay at the Birthing Center, very soon. Maybe Damir would send the elves and the boys with him. He would be able to set up in the viewing loft and watch the fun. The thought of taking Tia to the loft with him, made him chuckle again.
Cole held Tia, by her hair, out at arm's length. "The Master has asked that you change like the rest have done. Men wear the rough trousers and sandals. Females wear the shifts and sandals if they are lucky to gain favor from their caretakers. You are not obeying your Master. Let me help you with the decision." Cole reached out and ripped the sleeves out of Tia's shirt. He then grabbed the back of the collar and pulled down hard, separating the side seams. Tia was forced to hold the shirt up to the front of her. "Now, get behind the screen and put on the shift thrown over it or I will remove the rest of your clothing right here. The Master does not have to let you wear clothes. He is actually being kind in letting you have the shift." Cole threw her toward the back of the screen. Then turned toward Master Damir and bowed low.
When Cole turned back to him and bowed, it took everything in Damir's power not to clap his hands. Cole's eyes were filled with questions, but the wizard was acting perfectly. Damir stood there and waited for Tia to come out from behind the screen. It would have been more fun to have her change in the middle of the room, but this way she would know Cole was his pet now.
Damir turned back to the two elves who were being held by the back collars of their tops in front of him. He reached out and lightly rubbed his hand down the side of the face of the female. It was surprisingly soft. He rubbed the points of her ears. He had read somewhere that this was a caress to the elves. She was shaking, but otherwise she made no movement to move away from his touch. Very good. The elf was stubborn but she was not unaffected by his touch or closeness.
Damir grabbed a handful of the male's hair and yanked his head back. He looked into the Elf's eyes. They showed no fear. Well that would change soon enough. "You know you cannot use your magic in this room, Elf. We have had to learn to block magic on this island. Some might know where you are, but if they try and come they will end up in the waters on the other side of the horizon. You and the female will be taken to the medical unit, where the doctor is going to take some samples. I have not decided what will happen to you immediately after that, it will all depend on if you can stand, or if you are conscious. Eventually you will make a visit to the Birthing center, where you will get some firsthand knowledge of how wizards are conceived. If you are good and do as you are told, I will make it an enjoyable time for you and the female, if not then you will not have a good experience."
Damir threw his hand back forcing the male elf to take a step backward. The male looked at the female and Damir was positive they signaled each other about something, but he didn't care. It was going to be a good show.
Damir walked over to where, Brennan, Luke, Alec and Liam were kneeling on the floor. "Alec you will take Liam, Brennan and Luke to the medical unit. The doctor is waiting for you." Damir looked at Liam when the boy whimpered. "You all will submit to the doctor." Damir reached out and touched the top of Liam's head. "It will be all right pet. You have done this before. Submit and it will not be so bad." Damir heard a bare whisper of "Yes, Lord Damir."
"Good, when you are done at the hospital, Cole will come and get all of you and you will go as a group to the Birthing Center." Damir chuckled as Alec's head came up a look of panic clear etched his face, and Liam started to cry and shake his head no. Damir again touched Liam's head. "I know it will be a new experience for you, pet, but I guarantee you will enjoy it."
Damir looked up and looked at the other three guards. "Take them away. Use the chains and leashes if you must to keep them together. Stay with the group. The doctor can do anything he wants to any of them. If any of them refuse to submit, you have my permission to tie them down. When the doctor tells you he is done, let me know and I will send Pet Cole to get them. You are also to follow them to the Birthing Center and make sure the ladies don't have a problem getting them to submit to their wills. When they are done, take them all to the holding room. At that time each of you may have one hour each in the birthing center as a treat. Now go."
Damir turned to the two guards holding the elves. "Take them to the medical unit. The doctor can also do anything he wants to them, but tell the doctor I want them alive and able to move around, when he is done. When the doctor is done with them, let me know. I wish to personally be there when they are shown the Birthing Center. Of course, when everyone is settled back in the holding room, including the elves, you two may also take advantage of the pleasures of the Birthing center, for one hour. Now go."
Damir watched as the two groups were lead out of the room. He turned back to Tia and said, "Now what should we do to keep you entertained, Pet?"
Tia, Brennan, Luke, Alec, Liam and Marco
Damir saw Brennan's eyes go to the knife he held close to Luke's neck, as the girl spouted off. She was going to be so much fun to train... "Ah pet, you are going to be so much fun to train. I might even make you my own special project."
Tia turned and glared at the man for daring to refer to her once again as a pet. He was infuriating her. Tia wanted so much to pull her daggers and show the man exactly how she dealt with his kind. Instead all she said furious, “I hope you try Traitor! Cause Grand Amir Tia Andreas is Nobody’s Pet!”
Damir kept the knife close to Luke's neck, but he allowed the boy to slip to his knees. When he looked up Damir patted his head and cooed, "Very well done my pet. It is good to see you are willing to accept your new life. I promise you it will make things so much easier. Now, stay still." Again he patted Luke's head and even rubbed his hand on his hair.
Luke had hoped the man would have relaxed thinking he was no threat. “If he did not have this knife to my throat I know cousin Bren would be all business right now.”, Luke thought as he sought a new plan. He glanced at the man with Professor Marco. Smiling as his special gift tapped, “The man is not a willing traitor.” Luke tried to glance between Bren and Tia praying their gifts were picking up what his was.
Cole .... slammed his fist into the [Bennan's] face. "You will obey your new Master. Now kneel." Cole grabbed the Brennan's hair, pulled him forward and roughly pushed his forehead in to the rock floor. "You will remain that way until Lord Damir deems it right for you to rise even a little bit." Cole looked at the nearby guard, "If he gets up you will suffer, am I understood?"
Bren inwardly smiled as Fixer had given him a way to cut down the odds. Outwardly he hoped the true Fixer was still in there. Luke had noticed something concerning the man holding Marco’s leash.
Cole turned to Tia ... He grabbed her hair and pulled. "You will shut up now, Tia. You are not a princess here. You will only be allowed to do what your new Master tells you, you can do. Look around Tia. ...Would you like me to show you what can happen to you? Who shall we use? Who do you want to sacrifice so you can have a temper tantrum?"
Tia inwardly shook as she tried to use what she learned to protect her friends. Glaring at Fixer as she demanded, “No One is a Master of an Andreas, Fixer! You might call that Traitor, Master but I never will!” She thought of her Family line’s motto and inwardly cringed as she said as she stood tall, “No One Takes the Fall for an Andreas! We handle our own scores!”
Cole held the coin up in front of [Tia's] face. "Shut it down. If they come they cannot win. Do you hear me? ...Shut it down Tia, or live with the lives of your friends and family who will be lost this day."
“You want it shut down then send Luke, the elves and Bren home to Hogwarts or Your Master can face the Core’s Champion? His choice,” Tia said praying that Fixer would remember that he had been called the Core’s Champion by both Tia and Landon.
"The elves are in their new Master's care. They will be medically checked to make sure they are healthy and then they will be used to entertain Master Damir, in any way he sees fit. If you like maybe I can convince the Master to let you watch and even help with their training." Cole chuckled.
Cole held Tia, by her hair, out at arm's length. "The Master has asked that you change like the rest have done. Men wear the rough trousers and sandals. Females wear the shifts and sandals if they are lucky to gain favor from their caretakers. You are not obeying your Master. Let me help you with the decision." Cole reached out and ripped the sleeves out of Tia's shirt. He then grabbed the back of the collar and pulled down hard, separating the side seams. Tia was forced to hold the shirt up to the front of her. "Now, get behind the screen and put on the shift thrown over it or I will remove the rest of your clothing right here. The Master does not have to let you wear clothes. He is actually being kind in letting you have the shift." Cole threw her toward the back of the screen. Then turned toward Master Damir and bowed low.

Then turned toward Master Damir and bowed low.
Tia felt embarrassed but just glared at the man holding Luke at knife point. At that moment Bren and Marco acted by both heading towards Damir.
Marco knew that Tia was no match for the PACT Traitor. He wished all of the Spellman Quints were near enough. “You would Dare Traitor to Violate your vow to her father! Send her back to Hogwarts Now Traitor!” He had to get Damir’s attention off the young head-strong princess. It was time for the Trickster to show he was far from broken. Turning quickly Marco got his legs around Tamir and yanked.
Smiling as he prayed this would help Tia by throwing attention towards the guard near him. Bren jumped up and went straight for Marco’s handler. “You should know by now Fixer, I don’t take orders! I give them!” Bren said praying he was right and the true Fixer was still there.
Damir turned back to the two elves who were being held by the back collars of their tops in front of him. He reached out and lightly rubbed his hand down the side of the face of the female. It was surprisingly soft. He rubbed the points of her ears. She was shaking, but otherwise she made no movement to move away from his touch. Very good. The elf was stubborn but she was not unaffected by his touch or closeness.
Tia was furious as she screamed, “Unhand Moon! How dare you touch her!” She pleaded with Moon to teach the human that dared touch a daughter and grandson of Tal’mac.
Damir grabbed a handful of the male's hair and yanked his head back. He looked into the Elf's eyes. They showed no fear. Well that would change soon enough. "You know you cannot use your magic in this room, Elf. We have had to learn to block magic on this island. Some might know where you are, but if they try and come they will end up in the waters on the other side of the horizon. You and the female will be taken to the medical unit, where the doctor is going to take some samples.

If you are good and do as you are told, I will make it an enjoyable time for you and the female, if not then you will not have a good experience."
Alec was in almost a panic as he watched Damir manhandle Rub’ik. He chanced a mental chat with his blood-brother, “Rub’ik, I can’t standby as he treats you so. I want to hurt him but am unsure if I can as the collar’s current is messing with my Shadow Magic. I feel helpless unable to protect you and ashamed that Tia seems so brave and willing to continue fighting even knowing she can’t win. Rub’ik, I want to break free but if I do then I risk Rosa.” Alec really was scared for his friends but was unsure of how to save them without risking Rosa. Landon had stood with Tia against his family and won. “Why can’t I?”, Alec was afraid that deep inside he was just a coward.
Damir watched as the two groups were lead out of the room. He turned back to Tia and said, "Now what should we do to keep you entertained, Pet?"
Tia’s eyes got a look in them as she shook her head, “I told you, I Am Not Your Pet! Release the others, Free Fixer from whatever you did Now! Then Face Our Champion! Cause Traitor, The only thing I want is Your Head!” Tia was furious. This traitor had turned her father’s best friend against her and her friends.
Tia saw a guard bow to the traitor saying that the Clan Enforcer was furious he could not get on his own island. She smiled as the guard was giving the elves what they needed to disappear.
The guard bowed very low as he relayed The Enforcer’s orders to drop the shield and let him on. “He also said that you my lord better have a v-e-r-y g-o-o-d reason for being on total lockdown without informing him first!”
(OOC: This section contains Tia, Brennan, Luke, Alec, Liam and Marco, all the characters I am doing for this thread.)
Cole, Damir, Tamir, Rubik, Moon
... "Ah pet, you are going to be so much fun to train. I might even make you my own special project."
“I hope you try Traitor! Cause Grand Amir Tia Andreas is Nobody’s Pet!”
“I hope you try Traitor! Cause Grand Amir Tia Andreas is Nobody’s Pet!”
Damir reached out and backhanded Tia. He didn't put any serious force into the blow, just enough to get her undivided attention. "Ah, but Pet," he said adding emphasis to the word she hated so much, "you are going to eventually mind. I have not shown you all of my secrets here in the castle." He patted her head as he put his face close to hers, "But, don't you worry, I plan on you, experiences everything I have to offer." He stepped back.
Cole turned to Tia ... Who shall we use? Who do you want to sacrifice so you can have a temper tantrum?"
“No One Takes the Fall for an Andreas! We handle our own scores! You want it shut down then send Luke, the elves and Bren home to Hogwarts or Your Master can face the Core’s Champion? His choice,” Tia said praying that Fixer would remember that he had been called the Core’s Champion by both Tia and Landon.

His choice,” Tia said praying that Fixer would remember that he had been called the Core’s Champion by both Tia and Landon.
Cole looked at coin in his hand. There was something about it he should be remembering. Some thought was trying to break through the haze. He knew the Master was right in all things. He also knew in his past life he had protected the children. Tia was one of them. The only way he had of protecting her, was to get her to give into the Master's demands. She would not suffer so much that way. The Master would give her the amount of pain she had never felt before. He had to get her to realize this, somehow.
A new thought rammed into his head, snaking through as a thought he knew should not exist. It was from Darik, an elf in his old life. Landon had shut down the coin at the other end. He was not alone. Why that made him feel hope and fear at the same time he didn't know. Maybe he would talk to the Master later about it.
Tia had mentioned the name "champion". This name sent a shiver down his spine that he tried to hide. The Master would not be happy that something from his past could affect him enough that his body would react.
..."The Master has asked that you change like the rest have done." ... Cole reached out and ripped the sleeves out of Tia's shirt ... then grabbed the back of the collar and pulled down hard, separating the side seams... "Now, get behind the screen and put on the shift thrown over it or I will remove the rest of your clothing right here ...
At that moment Bren and Marco acted by both heading towards Damir.... Turning quickly Marco got his legs around Tamir and yanked.... Bren jumped up and went straight for Marco’s handler. “You should know by now Fixer, I don’t take orders! I give them!” Bren said praying he was right and the true Fixer was still there.

Bren jumped up and went straight for Marco’s handler. “You should know by now Fixer, I don’t take orders! I give them!” Bren said praying he was right and the true Fixer was still there.
Cole acted fast. Two of the guards were now on the floor. Brennan was headed toward Tia and Marco was headed toward him. His first priority was getting Marco down. They were about equal in fighting skills, but Marco had been kept chained, so Cole knew the man was possibly stiff and under nourished. Cole went down in a crouch and twirled, with his leg extended. He took Marco's feet out from under him. As the man fell Cole brought his elbow down on Marco's back right between the man's shoulder blades. Marco would not be getting up for a few moments, which would allow the guards to get a hold of him.
Cole looked toward the Master and winced. The knife at Luke's throat, had made a line where a small amount of blood was trickling out in a few places. The Master nodded at him. The Master had control over the boy.
Cole spun and found Brennan attacking Tia's guard. He headed over, grabbed Brennan's shoulder and spun him around. As the wizard spun, Cole slammed a right cross into his cheek. He tried very hard to hold back enough that nothing would be broken, but he had to get Brennan, down. Cole stuck out his leg and swept Brennan's feet from under him, sending him to the floor. Two guards pounced on top of the man. Cole turned to Tia, grabbed her arm and raised his hand to strike her. He couldn't get his hand to finish the arc. He couldn't hit the girl. He stared for a moment then threw her to the floor. Two more guards picked her up and held her so her toes barely made contact with the stone.
Damir turned back to the two elves who were being held by the back collars of their tops in front of him. He reached out and lightly rubbed his hand down the side of the face of the female..... Tia was furious as she screamed, “Unhand Moon! How dare you touch her!” (Tia) pleaded with Moon to teach the human that dared touch a daughter and grandson of Tal’mac.
Moon wanted to fight but a look from Rubik told her that no matter what happened she was not to strike out. Their magic had been taken away somehow. She had fighting skills, but the young Mistress, who she had sworn to protect, was in too much danger. Moon knew she could not get the mistress away fast enough. It took everything in her training not to lash out and show the human's what she was capable of. The Mistress would not understand. Moon hoped the Mistress would learn to be quiet and bid her time, but she also knew it was not a likely thing to happen.
Damir grabbed a handful of the male's hair and yanked his head back. He looked into the Elf's eyes. They showed no fear. Well that would change soon enough. "You know you cannot use your magic in this room, Elf. We have had to learn to block magic on this island. Some might know where you are, but if they try and come they will end up in the waters on the other side of the horizon. You and the female will be taken to the medical unit, ... Eventually you will make a visit to the Birthing center, ...."
Rubik looked at his captor as steadily as he could. Without his magic, everything he did would be slower. Moon had gotten his unspoken message to not fight at the moment. He was worried about Mistress Tia though. The human female seemed determined to try and stand up to the captors. This was only going to cause her pain, both physical and mental.
He was worried about their visit to the Medical center. So often in the past when either he or Moon had sought medical attention away from the school, the administrations of the doctors had leaned toward experimentation, most of it painful. He had, several times, needed to help Moon through the after math of a simple exam. Dr. Kildare at the school had told him never, go to a different medical center. Rubik was afraid this was going to be like the last one they had visited. He looked at Moon, and tried to send her a non-spoken message to be brave. He was afraid the Birthing Center visit was not going to be pleasant for him or his mate either.
Darik, his brother, had been able to get a couple very short images through to him. They were not alone. Help would come as soon as possible. Rubik only hoped it was soon. Leaving the young Mistress with their captor was going to be hard on his mate, but she would just have to remember, this time in their lives was just a short period of time to be endured. He was glad she was strong in her beliefs.
Damir watched as the two groups were lead out of the room. He turned back to Tia and said, "Now what should we do to keep you entertained, Pet?"
“I told you, I Am Not Your Pet! Release the others, Free Fixer from whatever You did Now! Then Face Our Champion! Cause Traitor, The only thing I want is Your Head!”
“I told you, I Am Not Your Pet! Release the others, Free Fixer from whatever You did Now! Then Face Our Champion! Cause Traitor, The only thing I want is Your Head!”
Damir looked at Cole, daring the man to interfere. He smiled when Cole took a step back from the girl, put his hands behind his back and bowed his head. Damir had seen a slight body change come over his pet when the name "Champion" had been mentioned. That name meant something to Frank Cole. Damir was going to have to find out what the connection was. He would turn the coin over to his technicians and see if they could follow the signal back to the outside world. To do that though he would have to drop the shut down status and that was definitely not going to happen.
Damir stepped up to the girl and stared down at her. Her eyes showed such defiance, but she was scared also and that he could work with. Maybe a short session on the machine would get her thinking she needed to give in to his authority. He was sure she thought she was going to be rescued either by one of the others already there, or by someone getting onto the island. Damir never took anything for granted. The elves magic was blocked, and the techs all said there was no way for someone to get on the island, but Damir had guards on every possible Port-key entrance, guards roamed every section of the parameter of the island, guards were stationed in the dungeon and around the outside area. Many of them were dressed in regular work clothes, so they would not immediately be taken as a threat by infiltrators. He would be willing to bet it would be Elfin Magic which would make a difference. The elf's were guarded by guards who knew they were to be used as shields. Tia would also get the same treatment.
Tia saw a guard bow to the traitor saying that the Clan Enforcer was furious he could not get on his own island. She smiled as the guard was giving the elves what they needed to disappear.
The guard bowed very low as he relayed The Enforcer’s orders to drop the shield and let him on. “He also said that you my lord better have a v-e-r-y g-o-o-d reason for being on total lockdown without informing him first!”
The guard bowed very low as he relayed The Enforcer’s orders to drop the shield and let him on. “He also said that you my lord better have a v-e-r-y g-o-o-d reason for being on total lockdown without informing him first!”
Damir balled his fists up at his side. He had to make a choice. He could drop the shield so Markus could get on the island, if it was really Markus trying to get him to drop the shield. If the timing was done correctly the shield would only have to be down for about three seconds. Besides the Enforcer could come ashore by boat and travel the short distance over land to get to the castle. Damir stood taller and squared his shoulders. He turned to the closest guard and said, "Get a message to the Enforcer. Tell him because of problems he will have to enter the island over the water and land. I will explain to him why I am doing this." Damir was not about to lose the advantage he had gained.
"Yes, Lord Damir." The guard did not look enthused about delivering the message. He would probably pass in on down the line. The Enforcer had been known to kill the person delivering a message he did not like. Damir looked at the girl and smiled. It was time for her to learn a lesson.
