O boy, so many reviews! It makes me so happy people! I luv you all! sweat drops… was that too dramatic? Who wants to join me on my witch hunt? Aztec Goddess already has! Hey people! I noe that the last chapter seemed kina crappy… but I forgot to tell you that it was just an interlude. Now that mentioned, I think I might start building toward a happy ending because all the other options are kinda weak in votes rite now.

I am going to start building toward a happy ending when I get a few more reviews. Rite now, im trying to go with the flow. By the way, have you guys read my other story yet? Painful Anguish. It's a rurouni kenshin fic. It's a misao and aoshi coupling. Im a die heart fan of them and serena and darien too.

O well… enuff about that. I don't think I need a disclaimer this chapter. O well… dude, im saying that a lot today. sighs.

Chp. 5

Punishment

Seeing that Serena had awoken already, Darien continued his duties the next day. Alan was waiting for him in the dungeon. Since he had not taken his anger out in training yesterday, he would take it out on Alan.

As he descended the stairs to the dungeon, he had a malicious grin. It chilled Alan to his bones. The dungeon was dark and damp. There were rats and who knows what on the ground. The floors were stone and there was only one window.

Alan breathed through his mouth because the stench was horrible. There was the smell of rotting bodies and puke. Off in the distance he could hear some tortures screaming and whipping. This morning, the man in the cell next to him, was taken away and he never came back. His cell was only to be replaced by another, who was being whipped at the moment for defiance.

The stench was staggering and it sent his mind wheeling. He tried to stand up and stagger to the bars. Instead, he crawled and dragged himself. Darien smirked in triumph at seeing this.

The guards jeered at Alan and poked at him with their spears. Darien cleared his throat for their attention. The guards turned around with a snarl, “What the bloody hell do you want? Get out of here you little fucker, before I make you!”

When they saw Darien there, they froze and turned white. They stood stalkstill and shivered as Darien encircled them and walked around them twice before saying something.

“Is this how you treat you king?” he roared.

He grabbed one by his neck and threw him against the wall. The other, he decapitated with a quick slice with his sword. Picking the fallen one up, Darien brought him to his dogs. The dogs growled in anticipation.

“now you're in for a treat, because these dogs haven't been fed for a week.” The rest of the guards chuckled at hearing the mans screams when he was being pulled apart limb from limb by the dogs.”

Alan shuddered at Darien's cruelty and did not want to be at the end of Darien's sword. When the man's screams had finally died down to whimpers, Darien turned back to Alan. The guards opened Alan's door for Darien and dragged Alan out by his arms.

His chains clanked along the dungeon floor. Smiling, Darien followed. As Alan was dragged he felt something slimy on the floor and then the stench hit his nose. He almost passed out from it. Blood, he was practically being dragged in it. A sea of blood. Where did it all come from?

“Say, Darien, does Serena know about this? The dungeon and how you treat your prisoners?”

The guard roughly kicked him in the stomach to shut him up.

“The prisoners residing in this dungeon only serve for entertainment purposes. What Serena doesn't know can't hurt her.”

Then they turned the corner and into the courtyard. He saw several posts with people tied to them. Some were being whipped or flayed, while others were being burned, starved, or just plain dead. He shuddered at the sight of the people tortured. If the stench was bad in the dungeon, this was just about the same.

“So what do you think? It's beautiful isn't it? This is my true domain. Now since I haven't sparred with anyone worthwhile this week, you will be my next opponent.”

The guards cleared the courtyard, by untying the prisoners and piling them on top of each other. The dead were mingled along with the living. Then the guards moved the posts, so there would be nothing in the way.

The guards dragged Alan to the middle of the courtyard and released him unceremoniously. Darien shrugged off his shirt and took a battle stance. Alan followed and did the same.

End chapter

Okay how was the chapter ppo?

Ok ppo, let's have a vote:

(1) Should Serena and Darien have a happily ever after? (but with lots of difficulties of course)

(2) Should Serena and Darien not have a happily ever after?

I shall list the polls as I go on with later chapters.

Sorry im not going to bother listing the results this chapter, until I get more reviews. That's wut I need, more reviews.

Sorry about the short chapter!

Will try to make the next one longer. Wow I have updated twice this week. Pretty cool. This is a big improvement for me.
