Pain... pain can be anything you choose it to be. Want it to be your reason to quit? Let it.
"You are less than nothing!" My dad shouts while hitting me with a crowbar and I groan in pain, "A man chooses and a slave obeys! What're you, boy!?"
Want it to be the reason you keep living? Then keep on going.
"Who do you love, boy!? Who. Do. You. Love!?" He yells again and I remain quiet, "Wrong answer."
Want it to make you stronger? Then go for it.
No one but you is the master of your own fate.
He grabs a dagger and walks over to a nearby fire pit, "I've been through worse, you won't break me!"
"We'll see about that." He says placing the blade of the dagger in the fire with his back still to me, "You'll be glad to know I've found your older sister."
This news makes me drop the pebble I was balancing on my boot to kick at him and I can tell he's smirking now even with his back to me.
"W-What?" I ask still in shock by the sudden revelation.
"Yeah Bridgette's still alive, she's somewhere in that place you call home, unfortunately she's joined some crazed cult." He says pulling the now orange dagger from the fire, "I'm still torn on who's more of a disgrace between the two of you."
Before I have a chance to respond he stabs the dagger into my shoulder and moves it around before shoving it deeper into the wound. I can't hold back the urge to yell out in pain anymore because of this and the moment I do my dad get the biggest sadistic smile on his face.
"You won't last long, son, though I do commend you on your scars." He says abruptly ripping the dagger out of my shoulder, "Are they the work of your sister?"
"Go... to... hell." I say with staggered breath and see him turn around with a knife, "Well shit."
Talk about a eighteen karat run of bad luck.
Sejuani's POV several hours later
"He just needs to be put out of his misery." The guards mumble to each other when I walk past them.
There are plenty of things I can stand but hearing Y/N's agonizing screams are something I can't and he's been going for hours.
"Something bothering you?" Ashe asks causing me to stop and snapping me out of my thoughts.
"No, I'm fine." I say and start walking again before she can ask anything else.
I round the corner of this formerly abandoned castle we're calling home towards the room I'm staying in, I open the door and take off my boots before noticing the snow storm raging outside the window.
After tossing a few logs into the dying fire in the fireplace I fall onto my bed and then roll over onto my stomach.
"You caused this." A voice says and I ignore it, "You can't run from your guilt, Sejuani, I'm clearly a part of you."
"Shut up, I'm trying to sleep." I say before rolling over onto my back and then seeing myself staring back at me, "You aren't going to leave me alone until-"
"You admit that what's happening to poor, poor Y/N is your fault. At the worst you could've tried talking them into doing something completely different than breaking his sanity." The other me says staring deep into my soul.
Akali's POV
"So first we find that pirate bi-" I say before Ahri covers my mouth.
"We find her and demand she tells us where she took him." Ahri says finishing my sentence.
"Some of her crew are regulars at the bar, shouldn't be too hard to find her." Jinx says and all of us nod, "Specially since they're lightweights."
"So step one down." I say before sitting down on the couch, "Step two can go one of two ways."
"Which are?" Yasuo asks from the kitchen.
"Either we have to find Damien or-" I was saying before someone clears their throat.
"Y/N's father." Tryndamere says finishing my sentence while entering the apartment, "Nice place."
"It's a secondary home I barely use." Ahri says and I facepalm.
"Which you should be able to find him if that's the case, right Tryndamere?" I ask and he nods, "After that will be step three which will, of course, be rescuing Y/N."
"Sorry we're late." A bird vastaya says while walking into the bar, "Traffic and-"
"If you say me I swear I'm going to stab you." The vastaya with him grumbles revealing herself, "Excuse him, he's an idiot."
"You still lo-" The man was saying before the woman elbows him in his side, "I'll get you back later."
"Anyways, I guess you and me are going to wait for those regulars of yours, Jinx." Ahri says while the lovebirds sit together, "Until then I guess everyone split up and ask around, someone's bound to let something slip up."
"Best of luck to all of you." I say while standing up and stretching, "And don't forget to have some fun while you do it."
Bloopers
"Who do you love, boy!? Who. Do. You. Love!?" He yells again and Y/N smiles in response.
"I only love my bed and my mom, I'm sorry." Y/N says and everyone laughs.
"I can't take this kid seriously." His father says walking away laughing.
"Cut! Take five everyone, we'll reshoot it and hope we get it right this time." The author says wiping the tears from his eyes.
"I'm good, I'll just sit here still tied to this chair." Y/N says while everyone walks past him, "Can no one get the hint?!"
