Episode 17: What's Been Hidden
🕑 Added 2021-03-02 07:58:16 +0000 UTCLuca finds his way into the underground room unnoticed, still unable to fathom the horrific truth behind the people he's been living under for over 11 years. The two men walked into another locked room, a freezer, in which they declare consists of Giver body parts that hold immense purifying power for humans upon consumption.
'What is this room!' Lucas couldn't get a closer look at the room since he was too busy hiding behind a curtain divider. But now that the the two men are out of his way 'This is..." he spots a small unsanitary jail cell, a reclining bed with restraints, and tools. Luca steps back in shock and bumps into a table behind him dropping a voice recorder.
"Tshhhhhh... Subjects No. 112, also known as the Caretaker of Givers, her eyes have been removed so that she is unable to use her magic"
'This is that bastard's voice!' Luca slowly reaches to pick up the recorder
"You'll never get away with this. PTTU!" A woman's voice interrupts Edward and spits at his face
*Wipe*
"You know why I brought you here. Tell me where it is, and I'll give you your eyes back"
"I would rather die than tell you monsters anything __AHHHHHHH!" The woman screams in agony
"Careful now, If you want to keep your other leg then you better speak"
"Huh, huh... even if I told you where it is, you would never be able to figure out how to use it__ AHHHHHH!"
"TELL ME WHERE IT IS NOW!" Edward yells at the caregiver
""Hahahahahaha, huh, huh" The Caregiver laughs while gasping for air "It's in the hands of our most powerful guardians, you will never be able to find it without a Giver's intuition"
"Fine then, if you won't speak of it now, you will never let out a single whisper again"
"AHH______" The Caregiver's voice disappears and the recording stops
'I have to get Amelia out of here!' Luca felt sick to his stomach, this is no place for this small innocent girl, in fact, this is no place for anyone at all. He rushes up the stairs in fear of what would become of her if she stays any longer 'Jace knows! There's no other reason as to why he'd allow her to stay!' Jace had turned a blind eye to Amelia that was held in Luca's arms as he was heading to his room the night before. 'He can't possibly have planned something!' Unlike before the flight of stairs felt much shorter and in a moments notice Luca pins Jace to the book case, pressing his arm against his neck
"WHY! Why have you been working with that criminal? Why have you kept quiet about this!?"
"It.. was for your own goo__"
"Don't give me that bullshit! You are no better than him. I... I trusted you!" Luca busts into tears. It felt like his world is shattering into big pieces, one after the other all over again. Jace was still like a father figure to Luca, Luca knew that Jace cared for him and always had his best interest at heart. He had nursed Luca back to health after the accident, and made sure that he always had a meal before bed. Luca felt betrayed.
"I cannot speak to you while you're like this young master"
"Don't call me that! If you dare touch her, I will make sure you never leave this mansion without cuffs around your wrists"
"Lucas... I am always on your side. I will tell you everything, but not like this. You have to calm down first"
Luca draws back from Jace
"I will come to you later tonight, for now, that girl you brought in is actually safest here. You have to trust me" Luca turns away from Jace to leave the library
"You have to trust me" Jace insists
