Chapter Six

Anabelle no longer knew how long she’d been imprisoned. Each day was the same as the last, as was each moment. There were periods when Grok was with her, and then there was the blackness of her sleep and her dreamless terror.

At any point in the night, Anabelle would jerk awake, eyes wide, screaming unintelligible words. She had stopped screaming for help some time ago. It had taken a lot to wear her down to that point.

For the first two days—at least Anabelle had thought it had been two days—she had remained silent. But Grok hadn’t seemed to care. The orc wasn’t needling her for information. And the torture was simply meant to break Anabelle. That was all.

After the first two days, Anabelle had begun to beg. It killed her on the inside to cry, but she had wept, imploring Grok to let her go. The only thing Anabelle held onto in the darkness was that she had made no offers. She’d simply asked to be released. Not in the most dignified manner, but she had never offered anything.

But it didn’t matter. Anabelle was hardly in a dignified state. She was filthy, covered in dirt, blood, shit, and piss. Toiletries had not been provided, and from the onset of Grok’s torture, Anabelle had been left to sit in her own disgusting mess.

The first time Anabelle had been forced to sit in her own urine, it had mortified her. It had almost brought her to tears to be stuck sitting there, unable to do anything as Grok sat across from her, mocking her for not being able to control her bladder. If Anabelle could have, she would have struck Grok dead right there.

But she could barely move by then. She still wasn’t certain what Grok was doing to her, but it was sapping away her strength. Not physical, her mana, just like the elf had done to the orc before. Anabelle could feel it being pulled out of her, similar to the way she had pulled mana from her surroundings. But this was so much worse; it was like having her skin split, and her veins yanked out.

In the dark, Anabelle had tried so hard to rebuild her mind, which was all that was necessary. This was a war of wills, Grok’s against Anabelle’s.

The orc would continue to pummel her to reduce her to nothing. And after that? Anabelle didn’t know what.

Grok had said she wanted to teach Anabelle the Way of the Path of the Lost. “The True Path,” according to Grok. But the orc’s explanation sounded too easy. Maybe that was what Grok wanted. But Anabelle doubted that would have been enough for the Dark One. If anything, the Dark One would do what Anabelle had seen him do in the past: make an agent out of her through indoctrination via the microchip.

Anabelle still wasn’t one hundred percent sure of the process. She’d only read briefings, but she had no direct experience of how one was brought into
