Sound of Insanity

"Serenity..." She awoke. The pain in her hooves, knees and throat very present. "You didn't think I'd let you go that easily did you?" She tried to scream, but could only produce a gargled sound. Her throat was still slashed open...How was she still alive 'Why can't he just let me die?!, she thought in her head, Why...Just let me die...please... "I couldn't just leave you dead. You were just too much fun!" answering her unsaid question with a devious grin, "I read a few books while you were gone, and found a revival spell, and decided to bring you back, and kill you again!" 'He's...he's going to torture me, and kill me, all over again? Tears were now streaming down her bloodstained face Wait...Spells! Why hadn't I thought of this before?! She quickly healed her slashed throat, and eased the pain of her hooves and knees...somewhat. Sivad didn't look phased in the least. It almost seems like he expected her to do so. A magical glow surrounded Sivad, and he was pushed against a shelf, knocking various objects off. He smiled at Serenity, who had a raging glow in her eye. He knew she wouldn't kill him. Even after all he did to her, she wouldn't kill him. How could she? A sweet, innocent soul like her? Her magic was weak to him. He easily broke free from his magical bonds. "Have a few tricks do we?" He chuckled to himself "Can't have you using magic to stop me can we now?" She was still nailed to the wall, trying to escape. In a panic, she quickly bent the nails back to a straight line, and started ripping her legs off of them, reopening the wounds and tears below her knees. A scarlet glow surrounded her, and slammed her back onto the nails. "Auuuugh!!! No!!! Nooo!!!" She screamed and thrashed as the nails were bent back at the previous angle. She grew silent when she saw what he was holding. A small, but sharp hacksaw was in his magical grip. "What can we do about your pesky magic? I have a few ideas." He raised the hacksaw, and set it on Serenitys' horn, and began sawing. "AAAGGGHHH!!!" An agonizing wail escaped from Serenitys' mouth as the saw began cutting through her horn. It bled heavily, blood running down her face. Her vision went blank from the severe pain she was experiencing. Magical sparks flew from her horn as it was sawn completely off, and clattered to the floor as Serenity cried and sobbed. Sivad took Serenitys' horn, and grinded against the stone floor until the point was sharp, and jammed it into violently into her stomach. Then in her chest, and each leg. Her bones splintered and cracked, muscles and organs were torn and mangled. She looked down at herself in a daze, and saw torn flesh and sinew hanging loosely, before she died once again.

But she wasn't dead long.

Sivad was no longer interested in prolonging her life, and was now more interested in quickening her deaths. While she was still dead, he slit her stomach open more, letting her entrails fall out in a pile at her hooves. He took her ribs that broke off, and stabbed one in her heart, the others in her lungs, and two more in her throat. Then he healed her. All of the wounds healed perfectly, but the poor mare still had bones jammed in her heart, lungs, and neck, and her organs were spilled in a steamy pile below her.

Then, he brought her back...

Pain. Pain like never before. Her very heart felt like it had been stabbed. She couldn't speak, she couldn't breathe, she just silently stared at the bones stuck in her neck, eyes clouded and unblinking. Her body convulsed involuntarily for a while, and she died again. But Sivad brought her back. Again. Again. And again. But Sivad grew tired of this as well. He put the ribs in other places. Her legs, her jaw, her eyes, and repeated the process. Then he had an idea. He took all of the ribs out, and healed her of her injuries, and brought her back. He felt his 'artistic' side come out. So with a sharp bone in his magical grip, he began to carve drawings into her flesh, all the while Serenity was screaming, and even at some points passing out for short whiles as a result. Sivad looked at his 'canvas' of flesh, satisfied with his work so far. He had carved an image of a pony, with striking similarity to Serenity, a teardrop, a knife, and a broken horn. Oh. And a smiley face. He wasn't quite sure why, but then again, why not? At one point during his drawing, while thrashing and squirming in a futile attempt to escape the pain, Serenity stabbed herself on the bone 'pencil' Sivad was using to carve her. It went deep into her left lung, and she died shortly after. Almost enough to  make me wonder if she did this on purpose..., Sivad thought to himself. Did she not like what I drew for her? He chuckled at his own joke. Truth be told, they weren't the best drawings. But it was the best he could do. Serenity was a squirmy one, and wouldn't sit still. Not to mention his 'canvas' was completely stained with blood now, and you couldn't make out a drawing on it if you tried.

Maybe I'll have to carve a bit deeper next time... Or maybe the bone utensil simply wasn't sharp enough? Oh well. Might as well fix both problems. Sivad sharpened the bone to a point, brought Serenity back and healed her, and started over, this time etching deeper into her skin. Might have to do something to make her move less. Maybe more nails. Sivad thought of all kinds of ways to prevent Serenity from moving. While I do like the idea of using magic to restrain her, I might just cut her tendons and ligaments. If that doesn't stop her from moving, then I'll resort to other methods, he thought to himself while continuing his work. He stepped back from the sobbing Serenity, and admired what he did. He then carved an X above Serenitys' heart, and stabbed the bone right through it. She convulsed and shook, and died again. But this time, instead of waiting to revive her just before torturing her, Sivad decided to revive her, and leave her there. Just to see what she would do...Or rather, what she could do. Not much most likely, but he was still curious to find out. He yanked the bone out of Serenity, healed her, brought her back, and left. Closing and locking the door behind him.

What lengths will she go through to escape? Time to watch the show
