Final Fantasy XV One Shots

11) Gladiolus

~(Y/n)'s POV~

"Torture..." The word echoed in my mind over and over again. The man who captured me, Bredock, took me to his hideout and chained me to the wall. He was trying to break me, but he still couldn't do it. My will is too strong and I won't give in to a man as dirty as him. Everyday he would get his men to whip me and cut me with their daggers. After they were done with me, they would throw cold water and it would burn. My screams of terror and pain went unheard or they were just ignored.

"Let's head out. We'll be back before sundown, sweetheart," he whispered in my ear. I flinched as he unchained me from the wall and threw me into a dark cell. I crawled to the corner and hugged my knees. I began shivering from the cold and pain I was in. It's been a whole month since I've been missing. "I guess... I'm not needed anymore." I give up and cry into my knees.

Hours pass and I'm numb to the bone. I'm starving and my throat is dry. Blood covered my body and formed a puddle around me. I didn't care and waited for my capturer and his cronies to return. If I could, I would kill myself and end this unbearable pain. Suddenly I heard an unfamiliar voice. It didn't belong to any of Bredock's men. "It's a cave full of cool stuff~!" A voice cheered. I flinched and made myself smaller in the shadows. A group of four men entered the cave and were looking around curiously.

"It doesn't look abandoned," a man with glasses says. "Yeah, it just looks like they left and will return," the man with a scar running down the left side of his face said. They weren't dressed like gang members or killers. 'Maybe they can help me?' I shook that thought out of my head. "What is this?" The blonde man picks up the dagger that Bredock uses to cut me. I gasp unconsciously and quickly cover my mouth. "Did you hear that?" A man with raven colored hair spoke. They all nodded and looked around. "It came from over here," the man with the scar pointed directly at me. I backed up more and ran out of room.

"It's a cell..." The man with glasses sounded confused. "Maybe we could open it?" The blonde suggested. "Yeah. Let's open it," the man with tattoos said. They found the key with ease and I wanted to run away as fast as I could from them. The man with the tattoos entered and told the others to stay behind. He scanned the opposite side of the cell I was in and quickly pulled out a light source. He scanned the cell slowly to make sure he didn't miss anything. I started to breathe heavy and I tried to stand up. I fell back down and yelped in pain. This got everyones attention. The man in the cell flicked his light source over and found me with ease. His eyes widened and he tried to approach me.

"P-please don't hurt me..." I beg. I side back down to the ground and hugged myself tightly. "N-no, we're not going to hurt you." The man took another step towards me and I couldn't bear it. I started crying and couldn't control myself. "T-that's what h-he said," I stutter. "Who's he?" The man asked. "B-Bredock..." I answer quietly. All there eyes widen. "We've been searching for that murderer for months," the glasses man said. "Guys, let's get her out of here," the blonde said.
