If he could have said something, he wouldn't have replied to her comment on his intelligence. He would have told her to run and yell for help, but he couldn't form any words. He was still stricken by the paralyzing spell. He knew who this man was: Interrogator Vishas. He was an evil man who was renown for his ability to torture information out of anyone; he never failed to get what he wanted. The knife that Vishas held glew a low red, it giving off a bit of heat. The blade was his torturing knife. It was rumored that the dying screams of hundreds of victims could be heard just after the knife tasted blood.
Ryu tried as he may, but could not will his body to move. Vishas smirked cooly as he continued to circle Haru, but suddenly stepped between her and Ryu, and he came towards her slowly, a wretched grin on his face. " Yes, scream for them. I'll give you a try at it. " The interrogator continued to close in on Haru, it wasn't sure if he was here to actually harm them or just scare them; But Ryu knew. If Haru didn't get away, Vishas would kill her right infront of him. "...."

She looked at the blade in his hand when he passed by her, why was it red? She had never seen anything like it. She glared up at him and took a step back when he stepped between her and Ryu, fear finally struck her when she heard what he said. “ What do you want!? ” , she asked her voice shaken a little the Confidence she had in rescuing Ryu shattered just by what he said. This guy cant be for real, can he?, she kept asking herself in the back of her mind. She took a step back when he began to come closer, her hands clenched tightly. She looked back over her shoulder getting ready to run, her eyes darting back toward the village, even if she didn’t want to leave Ryu here when he couldn’t move, she knew she needed help.

Vishas stepped forward, before shadows began to pop up around Haru. Loops of leather were shooting from the shadows, so dark they seemed to suck in the light. The leather strips aimed to wrap around Haru's limps and bind her down quickly, and since the leather was quite thick, it wouldn't be easy to cut through.
If the leathers bands held strong, the interrogator would move towards Haru, and bring the torturing knife down on her shoulder, to stab into it deep and try to hit the bone as much as he could. The knife felt like fire, and would burning the flesh it touched, while Vishas tried to grind the knife down on any bone he found, before ripping the knife out, and smelling the blood bake on the knife. With Haru being such an underdeveloped demon, she wouldn't have a strong chance of resistance, not to mention Haru probably hadn't felt pain as intense as a searing blade grinding against bone and her flesh being cauterized. No, she probably wouldn't react very well to it. And Ryu couldn't do anything to help, still trapped by the spell placed on his body.

Haru was confused as ever now she tried to slip her hand’s free from the leather so she could at least try and defend herself. She winced when she seen the knife come down toward her and screamed out in pain when she felt the hot blade dig into her skin, the sudden pain sent her into a shocked like state though not completely there. She gritted her teeth tears stinging her eyes. This was the most pain she had ever been in. her bone felt as if it was cracked in two, she screamed again when he ripped the knife from her skin, it felt as if it caused more pain than when he put it in. she was fighting just to stay conscious now, the pain from just that one time was nearly to much for her. She whimpered trying to get her hand free still but also not trying to move her shoulder to much. She glared at him tears rolling down her cheeks, wincing every time she even slightly moved her shoulder.

Once the leather had bound her so tightly, and would let her move her limbs any, Vishas moved to Haru once more. He didn't say anything right now, he was enjoying this precious moment, before he had to end it, anyways. But for now.. The interrogator grabbed Haru''s wrist, which was already bound tightly by the leather. He held her hand still using his manipulation over the leather, and then used his own hand to open her hand up, so he could see her palm, and all her extended fingers. He would enjoy cutting those off.
But first, Vishas took the torturing blade and placed the very tip in the middle of Haru's palm, the blade beginning to slow burn through the skin, not using the blade's sharpness any. Ryu was still paralyzed, but his eyes were furious as he watched. If he could only will himself to move. He just couldn't get the spell to break!

She yelled when she felt the heat from the blade burning through her skin, this was worse than death to her and anyone else. “ stop! Stop! Please stop!”, she begged him. She would rather him just cut her hand off then do this to her. She had a hurt look on her face, she bit down on her lip trying to get it to stop. “ Ryu! Please just help me! “, she pleaded. Time seemed to go by slower for her now as the pain began to get to her more, her eyes closing partly getting ready to fall off into unconsciousness.

Vishas seemed to grow stronger as Haru pleaded for the agony to end. The man seemed to feed off of pain, fear, submission. The man in all terms was evil, and he brought the blade away from Haru's hand finally. But, however, he had something much more worse in mind now. Vishas grabbed Haru by the throat so strongly, it almost choked all the air from her windpipe, but the knife would be the biggest worry. Vishas held her head still as he slowly brought the knife closer and closer to Haru's eye. He did it slowly, just so Haru would get the full horror of the situation. The knife need only stab her eye a milimeter, and the heat from the knife would make her eye pop like a balloon in her eye socket. The knife got so close.
Ryu unsheathed fully into Vishas' back, blood flying in a torrent from the interrogator's gash on his back now. Ryu's eyes shown with a deep red, streaks of red having appeared on Ryu's forehead, and cheeks. Those being the only ones visisble at the moment, anyways. Vishas grunted in pain, before he turned swiftly and disarmed Ryu with a cut to the wrist, then stabbing the blade deeping into Ryu's rib, and then kicking the demon away into a tree. Vishas grumbled, before he swung his fist at Haru's head to knock her out, if he was successful, he'd carry the unconcious Haru under his arm now, moving at an ungodly speed through the trees, leaving Ryu to cough up blood on the forest floor.

Haru let out a soft sigh when the blade left her hand already feeling better now that it was gone, till her grabbed her by the throat. She coughed a little at first her eyes widening when she seen what he was going to do. She began to struggle more and more trying to break free watching as the hot blade began to get closer and closer to her eye, her heart beat was racing she didn’t want to even think about what would happen if the blade got any closer to her eye.
Her eyes fell to Ryu he had finally managed to get free from the spell… But he was different, what was going on with him? She gasped when he was kicked into the tree, he was the only way she was going to get out of this alive. “ no Ryu get up! Come on.. “ , she called out to him getting cut off as Vishas’ fist hit her knocking her out now, maybe that was a good thing. Why was he doing all this to her? She didn’t even know who he was. She had never hurt like this in her life.

Ryu slowly rose up, hearing Haru's pleading then it being cut short. He dazedly got up, his eyes back to normal now, no more red streaks on his face. He goes back to the village and gets his belt, that had his satchel on it. He left the village wordlessly, bandaging his side, and heading to where he knew they were keeping Haru.
---
In a castle not too far off, Vishas met with a man in the castle's armory, speaking to him. " I have one of his friends, Herod. Ryu will come. What do I do with the girl once Ryu gets here..? " Herod brushed the question off, saying simply. " So long as Ryu thinks the girl is here, he'll come. Do as you please, Vishas. But don't let her escape. " Vishas gave a wicked grin. " I keep my word she won't leave her alive. " The interrogator left the armory, descending deep down into the castle, and into the dungeons.
In the dankest part of the dungeon, was the red room. It was called the red room, It was a stone-enclosed room, no windows, one door, and a rope that hung from the ceiling. Haru, when she awoke, would find her hands were bound by the rope that also made her stand on her tip-toes, if she wanted to not feel her arms stretching out so much. The room was dark, mostly, a dim torch was there to light the bloody floors and walls. Everything was covered in blood, bits of flesh, an occasional bone or organ here and there. It smelled awful. The blood had never been cleaned up, the smell was overwhelming from the decay, and the horror at how many different blood scents could be smelled, they couldn't be counted. The thick stone door opened slowly and closed, someone had entered, and was watching Haru. Haru would find anything that had been on her was gone. She was only left with her tattered clothes, which had been either cut by tree branches as Vishas carried her at such speed, or cut during the battle. Either way, she didn't have much of any way of getting free.

She woke still in a daze her hands and arms felt cold from where the blood had moved out of her arms from being tied above her head. She was shaking, afraid of where she was and what was going to happen. The smell of the room was enough to knock her back out. She whimpered trying to move forward and pull her arms free only to fail. She looked around the room at all the blood from others gagging from the smell and sight. The pain in her shoulder and hand returned as she began to realize more things. What had happened to Ryu? Was he going to come for her? Was he ok? She was trembling more now thinking back to what had happened only a little while before. “ what is this place? Why am I here?! Damn it!!”, her voice seemed like a roar in the closed off room. She turned to the side to see who had come into the room glaring at the ground still trying to get free, ignoring the pain in her shoulder.

Vishas appeared from the darkness, and he smiled at her. His crooked nose stood out in the fire light of the torch hung on the wall, his twisted smile would tell Haru what he planned to do. The knife was glowing a bright red already. Vishas began to circle Haru like he'd done before, saying to her soothingly. " Ssh. You can't get free, Ryu can't interrupt now.. it's just you and me now. Alone. No one can hear your screams. Not all the way down here. " Vishas slowly took out the knife while behind Haru. He slowly moved the knife along her back, the heat from the knife cutting the back of the shirt open so he could easily see her spine. " Where to cut first.. Always so many choices. "

Haru glared when she seen Vishas trying to hide her fear, till she seen his smile, a sense of hopelessness fell over her. She watched him when he began to circle her bracing herself for what was to come. “ please don’t, Just let me go please!”, she began begging she hated the pain this man brought to her, dragging it out making her wish he would just kill her and get it over. She whimpered when she felt the warmth of the blade cut away the back of her shirt. “ how about you don’t do anything? Why cant that be a option? ‘, she asked trying to move forward away from him on her tip toes.

"Don't move again!" He cackled as he slashed at the back of her leg with the knife, rending a few of the muscles, to make her stop moving now. Vishas seemed to have lost it a bit. He began to plant the tip of the knife into her skin on her back, and slowly cut the flesh down her back. He cut basically all over her back; some being large cuts, some very small. But none were very deep. He wanted his victim to die slowly of blood loss; like most of the others. " I'm glad you're here to help me paint the red room, like so many others have. " He now started cutting at her arms some, not deep, but definitely painful with the red-hot knife.
Ryu tossed the guard down at his feet, having knocked him unconcious with a quick kick the head. He'd scaled the castle wall easily enough. Ryu was dressed completely in black, unable to be seen, since it was now night time outside. Only his golden hued eyes were shown. In his right hand was his katana, the blade smoked black by a camp fire. Ryu turns and slips off the wall, heading towards the insides of the castle. It didn't take him long to begin smelled a great congregation of blood. Must be the dungeons. He couldn't smell Haru's blood, but that was probably because all the others were overpowering his nose. Ryu gripped his wound, before he quickly set down through the labyrinth of tunnels.

She yelled out in pain feeling the blade dig into the muscles of her leg. She stayed still it was to painful for her to try and move. She flinched when the blade cut down her back trying to keep from giving him the pleasure of letting him know she was in so much pain. She couldn’t keep herself from screaming for long. “ Shut up bastard its bad enough I have to go through this without hearing your fucking voice”, she yelled at him, tears rolling down her cheeks as he began to cut at her arms. She was already starting to get weak from all the cuts plus what she had gotten earlier. The smell of blood all around her was starting to get to her . Time was moving so slowly as if a minute was a hour the pain getting worse and worse she began to wonder if Ryu was really coming for her.

Vishas was busy digging the knife into the shoulder wound he'd given to her earlier. Though, before he could do anything worse, a loud explosion sounded from within the castle, sending vibrations through the whole building. Vishas looked at Haru, before he stabbed the knife in her leg, then ripping it back out, saying to her. " I'll be back for you, bitch. " The interrogator spat on Haru before turning and leaving the room, giving Haru some time to bleed on the floor, and Vishas time to figure out what had happened. A few minutes later, however, the door opened again. There was no red glow. The door shut without a sound, but nothing could be seen, or smelled for that matter. The blood was too strong anyways. An arm gripped Haru gently about the waist, before the rope around Haru's hands was cut, releasing her arms easily. Being this close to her rescuers body now, she would be able to tell that it was Ryu. A light whisper above the dead quiet. " ..silence.. " He could tell Haru couldn't support her own weight, so he held her about the waist still, helping her walk with him out of the red room.
