"God… damn, this hurts…" As Arthur's eyes opened he could hear the pained groaning and coughing of a woman. Lying atop his makeshift bed made of clothing Arthur slowly pushed himself up onto his knees, his eyes swimming around the room in confusion, on his back he could feel something sticking to it.

His hand trailed behind himself feeling the still moist bandages on his back covered in blood, playing around with them Arthur was able to pinch the edge of one slowly peeled it away.

"I'd… leave those… on" he heard the woman's voice, again followed by coughing and the sound of something wet hitting the floor.

Turning his head towards the voice his eyes widened in shock as he quickly stood up and ran towards her, reflexively activating Vita to heal the woman who had a large gouge in her c.h.e.s.t and two missing arms that were bleeding profusely, the woman also had large burn mark covering the entire right side of her head destroying her eye leaving her blind in it.

"Don't you… f.u.c.k.i.n.g dare…" she mumbled, "I've heard you can… heal people… just don't bother" she began to hack once again sending blood all over her body and the ground.

Arthur's hands froze in the air before he could bring them any closer, "I can save you, do you not want to live?" he asked.

The woman's only response being a snort, "Live…" her eyes trailing upwards to the ceiling, memories beginning to flash before her eyes of her sister and her last moments, "I haven't lived in years…" she mumbled, her vision starting to go hazy and dark.

"North… three hours… hey have… Wei...ss" her voice turned soft, her head falling to the side as she lost the light in her eyes, her body soon following her head as it too began to slide down the wall and onto her side.

The moment he heard her words his eyes turned sharp, his eyes darting around the cave only finding three makeshift beds the remnants of two fires and a long molten pile of snow. Turning back to the woman's body Arthur looked down at her unaffected by having watched someone die in front of him.

His eyes shutting, watching a small green flame flicker out in her c.h.e.s.t, the flame of her soul disappearing, returning to wherever souls went in this world. Arthur's eyes trailed to her still open eyes and gently pulled her eyelids closed.

Sighing Arthur pulled her body away from the wall and rested her on her back, throwing a blanket over her body, "Thank you for saving me and Weiss" he whispered his hands clapping together in a silent prayer for her.

Once he was done he stood straight up, both his hand grasping at the bandages and tearing them off, each one causing small trickles of blood to escape his reopened, but smaller wounds. Ignoring the kin tearing pain from the last bandage Arthur began to circulate Vita, willing it to move to his back and begin mending the skin there.

Slowly but surely the wound began to close, wherever there wasn't enough flesh, more would grow, soon being covered in new pale and healthy skin, lifting his hand in front of himself Arthur willed the Tome to come to him as it suddenly lifted from the ground and quickly travel to him, opening to the storage page where he pulled out a long black shirt, quickly throwing that on as well as his new spear, Shin-Ketsu, the new blood.

"Why did I let you name this again?" He asked as he began to quickly follow the trail of blood towards the caves exit, coming to a stop at the ledge of a bottomless pit.

"Because, you're slow, honestly, you could have just chosen something like Gungnir or Gae Bulg, but noooo, keep it original why don't you" Ashe w.h.i.n.ed in response, "But should we really be talking, you've got a Weiss to save" she said.

Arthur didn't respond as he leapt towards the opposite cliff face, grabbing on to the small rocks that dotted the cliff face, looking down Arthur felt his spine shiver, but quickly hook that off as he began to climb the wall.

"Do you have any idea who I am?" Weiss calmly asked her captor a girl jusut as tall as her, only slightly older than Weiss with bright red hair.

"Oh, yes I do, Weiss Schnee, heiress of the SDC, and no I do not f.u.c.k.i.n.g care" Blut chuckled as she pushed Weiss forward, Weiss's hands tied behind her back, unable to move them even slightly.

"And we're here, hmm" Blut began to hum as she pushed the door to her garage open revealing her mech with multiple scorch marks and cuts on it's plating, Blut ignoring this as she listened to the numerous mechanical sounds that overlapped in the room, as she watched the near dozen men and women be tortured by her devices.

Nearly all of them being different people than those from two days ago as she often swapped out her broken toys for new ones, but one still remained, an eighteen year old girl, the same that had spat on Gehirn's face, still on the same machine as last time which was rhythmically pumping into her, her watery eyes filled with rage and anger looking to Blut, but unable to say anything as she had been forced to wear a ball gag after the incident with Gehirn.

Weiss felt her body froze as she saw as she collapsed onto her knees and emptied her stomach, the stench of blood and s.e.x filling the air, added with the sight she saw made it even worse for her, "Doesn't it smell beautiful, it's like a natural perfume" Blut began to laugh as she walked up to the girl, her teeth biting around the girls n.i.p.p.l.e as she began to struggle causing Blut to bite down hard enough to draw blood.

"Don't worry, I'll play with you soon," she giggled and trailed her tongue up the girls c.h.e.s.t before turning back to Weiss, "Aren't they beautiful?" she asked, "Yet every single one is useless, I play and play but I never get to finish" she smiled and walked up to one of the men she had 'Played' with previously.

"Like you… I had high hopes for you, and you can't even f.u.c.k.i.n.g get it up" she growled and punched the man's stomach, leaving a large bruise on his stomache, "If only!" she threw another punch, hitting him in the same spot, "You could!" and another, "Make me happy!" she roared, her arm trailing back as she threw her fist against his already tearing skin, breaking through it and lodging into his stomach, the man began to scream in pain as he felt Blut's fist messing around inside of him, his screams soon turned to groans and into silence as he passed.

"F.u.c.k.i.n.g useless!" she shouted and tore her hand free from the man's stomach. Weiss had long turned her head away from the gruesome scene, doing her best to keep whatever remained in her stomach, in her stomach.... Yet she could feel it bubbling up at any moment.

"Maybe you'll do better" she began to cackle and walked up to Weiss, grabbing her hair and dragging her across the metal floor to a rope and hook that hung from the ceiling. Blut hooked it on the ropes holding her and quickly pulled her into the air, hanging by her wrists. Whilst Blut quickly put chain shackles around Weiss's legs to prevent her from kicking.

"Monster, you're a monster!" Weiss screamed at her, "How, how can you do something like this!? You disgusting beast!" her voice horrified and terrified as she tried to drown out the groans and fleshy sounds in the room.

"Why can't I do this? Papa didn't care even when he hit me, so why can't I do it? He just wanted to play, so why can't I?" Blut grinned, "So I play, I get new toys and use them till they break then I throw them away" she calmly hummed.

Weiss's eyes widened in shock at what Blut said, "How-how can a father do that!?" she shouted.

"Why can't he? Papa is papa, he was all I had" her voice still calm as she began to rummage around in a toy box, frowning in disappointment as she searched it for a toy to use, "I don't feel like using these today" she hummed and closed the toy box, turning back to Weiss.

"Parent's aren't supposed to do that! That man is no father!" Weiss screamed.

Before Weiss could say anything else Blut charged up to her holding a dagger to Weiss's throat, "Never talk that way about Papa again, I am willing to break my orders of not harming you. Papa is papa and will always be papa, I love him and he loves me" her voice menacing as she threatened Weiss, completely silencing her a drop of sweat dripping down her brow as she felt the edge of the blade push into her neck, her aura having long been broken during the fight against her mech and a few other Kreischen operatives.

"Know your place… toy" Blut growled, the blade slowly beginning to trail down Weiss's body cutting through her makeshift cloak and causing it to fall to the ground, leaving her in only her u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r.

Weiss grit her teeth, her eyes shutting as she turned her head away, tears already trickling down her cheek at what felt like her inevitable fate, which only got worse when she felt Blut's knife hook under her bra straps and cutting it off, the point of the knife slowly moving down her body cutting either side of her last remaining u.n.d.e.r.g.a.r.m.e.n.t and letting it fall away.

"What a beautiful toy" Blut smiled as she looked over her new toy, one hand trailing up Weiss's t.h.i.g.h whilst another up her belly, whilst Blut brought her face closer to Weiss's c.h.e.s.t.

"Blut!" A man shouted as he barged into the garage, freezing Blut's exploration of Weiss's body and destroying the mood she had built up. Weiss letting out a deep trembling sigh of relief, her eyes opening to see her clothes on a pile on the ground and the man, her escort standing across the room, excitement on his face.

"You…" Weiss muttered as she stared at the man, "You bastard!?" she screamed at him.

"Shut up" Blut growled as she force a ball gag into Weiss's mouth and locking it behind her head, "What do you want, Knochen" she growled as she walked towards Knochen.

"You said I could play with her! I really want to break her!" His gaze excitedly trailing over Weiss's body a cruel smile forming on his face.

"No, I said if YOU found her you could play with her, but I found her and I caught her, so you get nothing, now f.u.c.k off, I was having fun" she mumbled, pushing Knochen out of her garage and slamming the door behind her, whilst also locking it.

Yet before she could even turn around to continue playing with Weiss the sound of the intercom blaring could be hear, [Blut, meeting room now, leave your whorehouse for later, we've got sighting of Arthur Fielder leaving the Scheisse's cave]

Hearing this Blut's face went from anger at Knochen's interruption to one of excitement as she squealed in excitement, "Coming! I have a good feeling, he may be the husband i'm looking for!" she began to happily dance in a circle, stopping when she looked to Weiss, "I'll play with you later!" she quickly ran out the door, happily hoping her way down the hall towards the meeting room.

When she left Weiss immediately began to struggle, trying in the hopes that maybe the ropes would tear and release her, but no, they remained undamaged even after thirty minutes of struggling the only thing she accomplished was causing blood to trickle down her arms from the ropes digging into her arms.

Her struggling soon coming to a stop as she let her head hand, weeping at her misfortune, 'Help me…' she pleaded, 'Arthur…' she cried, her weeping unheard by anyone from the raucous of machinery and groans coming from the room.

Arthur stood atop a cliff overlooking what looked like a military compound, surrounded by tall walls with numerous guard towers stationed every few metres away, each filled with two of the Kreischen mercenaries on watch, each equipped with a high powered rifle.

"I'm here Weiss, just a bit longer…" he whispered, "Siri" he said as his affectionate siren appeared behind him, "Can you also turn me invisible?" he asked, Siri silently thinking for a few moments in thought before giving him a quick nod and a shrug.

"You can, but not as well as you can hide yourself" he sighed, getting a nod from her.

"It's better than nothing, do it"
