Lost Island and Human Testing

[Raven]

Emily nodded stiffly. "Okay." She didn't know what else to say.

[Gifted]

Pride nodded, and then she heard him.
"Girl!" he yelled from the doorway to the stairs. "Pride! Get over here, we're going down to the bottom floor today! Get over here, I don't want to wait!"
Pride rolled her eyes. "Get a life, Mr Sadistic Murderer," she called back. "You can afford to wait two seconds. What, is Mr. Big Shot gonna complain? You on a schedule?"

[Raven]

Emily stood angrily in the doorway, glaring at the area that Tony's voice had come from.

[Gifted]

"Pride, I'm warning you," Tony began.
"Oh Shut up, I'm coming," She snapped. "I'll be back in.. oh three hours? That's average," she said, shrugging, to Emily. "Good luck," she flounced out.

[Raven]

"Wait!" Emily called.

[Gifted]

Pride turned just before she got to Cardoni. When he grabbed her wrist, she yanked away and ran back to the doorway of Emily's room. "Sup?"

[Raven]

"Why do you go like that, so willingly?" Emily asked.

[Gifted]

"Me? Because no matter what they do to me down there, it won't hurt. And besides, I think they hurt you more if you resist. I think they make an exception for like, the kids so scared of them they hide when they're called, but someone like me who's not scared of them, we fight and we get smacked around. I've seen it happen. I don't care about that myself, but alot of the time theres little kids around, they don't need to see that. I get my licks in in other ways," she smirked. "Plus, I think it hurts their ego when I don't care. Later," she turned to leave again.

[Raven]

Emily frowned. That made sense, but she didn't want to admit that.

[Gifted]

Pride walked out to Cardoni. "So, Sadistic Murderer? You upping the level today?" She asked conversationally.
"Actually I jumped you two levels, since these jumps don't seem," he clenched his teeth,. "To be affecting you any,"
"Oooh fun," she joked as the door shut.

[Raven]

Emily spent the next few hours in her room, terrified that she would have to go down to the base floors.

[Gifted]

When Pride finally came back, the back of her shirt was bloody, but hid her whip marks. The back of her legs had several lashes on them, and a ingle mark on the side of her face, like when you break the skin but not the flesh, was clearly visible.
Her hands, on the other hand, were so ripped and raw and bloody there scarcely seemed to be any skin left. There were bloody clothes wraped arounbd them, but Pride, oddly, would occasionally unwrap them and touch the couch, or the wall, or the edge of the coffe table. or the doorframe. Then she would wrap her hand in the cloth again. "Hey Emily!" she called hin a distracted voice. "I'm back,"

[Raven]

Emily stared in horror at Pride, unable to speak.

[Gifted]

"What? He always whips me," she said. "Except when he uses the knife, but he doesn't seem to like doing that too much, I guess because it's hard to cut someone who's running?" She shrugged

[Raven]

Emily shivered. It was obvious she wouldn't make it far here.
