Her mind slowly began to fade back into consciousness, as she twisted and turned on something cold. The small shinigami would let out a few small groans as a bit of the pain began to come back from where she was hit. Her palms would slide along the area she was laying and her body would shift from her side to her stomach. With her body in position, Mei would push herself up into a sitting position where she would finally open her eyes. At first, her vision was blurry causing her to rub her eyes, which would definitely make things clearer. However, rubbing her eyes wouldn't make things any better, instead this action would lead to her panicking. Chocolate eyes would search the room frantically wondering what this place was and why she had been brought here. Why hadn't the woman just killed her? Why did that filthy arrancar keep Her alive? Mei would attempt to stand and find a way to escape, however she would only find herself being yanked backwards. Immediately, the shinigami would grab for her throat and her eyes would widen. A collar? Why? For wha- Her spiritual energy. It was at this moment that the young shinigami would realize she was helpless and chained to the wall. She had been defeated and turned into someone's pet all in one horrid day. What a disappointment of a fourth seat she was.

When Mei realized that she was doomed to her fate, she would take a seat again on the cold floor. Choclate eyes would stare at the ground, as she brought herself lower and lower with every thought. She couldn't believe what she had done, she couldn't believe she had failed, but most of all, she couldn't believe how much disappointment she might possibly bring to Luke. Mei had only ever wanted to protect the Soul Society, she had only ever wanted to live up to her big sister's expectations, but it seemed it wasn't meant to be. Now, the young shinigami had been locked away never to be seen again by anyone. They would remember her as the weak fourth seat and everyone would forget about her. How could she be so reckless? Mei would curl her knees up to her chest realizing she was wearing such terrible and revealing clothing. Even though the room held only one simple bed, Mei felt so crowded and cornered. She had lost everything. Her dignity, her life, her dreams, her promises, and worst of all, her zanpakuto. What did that filthy woman do with it? Guess it didn't matter now, Mei was done for.

The corridor was quite empty, the previous battle that took place with the Army of Blood and the Espada created a big loss of manpower, it was for this reason that Elizabeth had been able to escape the clutches of the pig that was a foot soldier of the Army of Blood. She had hated the days since she had been captured and used for nothing other than sex, she had a constant pain in stomach region although her regeneration which made her nigh-immortal due to its uniquness never let her die. Many times during the pain she had wished to be able to simply die and be over with the pain although it never came, instead it only brought more due to the known fact her regeneration was abnormal. She had finally been able to escape the pain when she was being beaten and raped by a small group of guards until she was finally able to kill them all albeit with much pain and she could barely walk by the end of it.

Her determination overruled that feeling that she knew all to well though, Elizabeth body was incredibly weak despite it was normally the level of a mid-level Espada when in its prime. She walked along the halls of the castle towards the nearest exit before she came accross the room that apparently belonged to the Furies, strangely she sensed a person in there. A shinigami, how unusual. She made her way over to the door before pushing on it with a lot of effort, eventually falling into the room with much pain shooting through her body and her eyes watered at the sudden pain. She looke around with her blue eyes curious before letting her eyes settle on the shinigami who was chained to the wall, she looked at the girl who was forced into a very skimpy outfit, she was lucky as Elizabeth was completely naked. She let her eyes stare at the girl, pained and a bit sad to see her in such a way. She wanted to speak although she couldn't find the effort to speak first.

Chocolate eyes would close and begin to water. All she wanted was to cry before anyone had the chance to see her. All she wanted to do was be killed before anything tragic could happen to her. All she wanted was to return to her old life and be the girl she used to be. She used to be so strong, so brave, and so compassionate. Now, she was just a mess waiting to happen, waiting to spill all over the floor, and waiting to be swept up to toss out. However, all of this would have to wait because brown eyes were busy capturing the door slowly inching open. The shinigami would try to push herself as far up against the wall as possible, while terror tore through her. Once the door opened, the woman would close her eyes not wanting to see who was there to terrorize her.

Within seconds of closing her eyes, the orange haired female would hear a thud just in front of her and then silence. Slowly, chocolate eyes would open now curious as to what was taking place before her. That's when Mei would see it. A naked girl lay in the floor staring at her with tears threatening to escape her eyes. Was this fear? No. Was this saddness? Not exactly. Mei had seen this face many times before hut could not put an emotion with it. Quickly, the woman would get as close as she could to the naked girl before she began to question what to do. She knew the girl had to be some sort of victim because this emotion was real. The chain would pull on the collar, which would choke her slightly but mot enough to smother her breathing. "Hey. Are you alright? What's wrong? How can I help you?" Mei's voice would come out with much intensity but it was quiet, whisper like. It almost seemed to have a hit of frantic emotion tied into it. She just wanted to help.

Elizabeth looked at the girl with the chocolate coloured hair and eyes, she saw the way she choked herself slightly to get near the blonde woman, she looked up and tried to use her hands to push herself up. She got a little bit off the ground before she fell back on it with a sound that indicated the breath was knocked out of her lungs. She let out a pained moan before she dragged herself over the cold yet thankfully smooth floor to the wall where Mei was chained. She had since ignored the question that Mei asked her until she used the wall to pull her shaking body up and into a sitting position while panting quite loudly at the effort.

The blonde would let her eyes finally look into Mei's, her intense yet pained royal blue eyes met her kind brown ones and her knew position allowed a small bit of light to illuminate the woman's body, there were angry purple bruises all over her stomach and on her breasts, however Mei would see that the brusing began to disappear and her body would begin to fix itself from her recent torture. She finally found the strength to speak to the girl, "You have obviously not been.. hurt yet." she said although at the end of it she coughed a small amount of blood that covered her knees. "You can't help me in your current position, since I assume no one's been in here to rape you then I guess it's safe for me to rest for a while. Then once I feel a little better I will free you, but right now." she said although didn't finish her sentence as she laid her head back against the wall and let her exhaustion take a hold of her for a short while and leaving the child awake.

Concern and fear could be seen in the shinigami's eyes, as they watched the female attempt to move. Of course in her condition, she would raise a tad and fall back down with a wretched pain filled sound. Mei wished she could help but she didn't know what to do or if she could do anything at all. Although she couldn't get off the floor, that wouldn't stop the woman before her from dragging herself across the cold floor. This was surprising for Mei considering the woman nearly had any strength to lift herself. Brown eyes would watch as the woman lifted herself up to sit against the wall, which was rather intelligent. The shinigami would let the sound of her breath fill the room, as she awaited some other type of response from the girl.

The pain from the other woman's eyes would cause the orange haired female to take up a look of saddness and concern. The bruises would cause her to fall deeper into these feelings but the disappearance of such bruising would cause great astonishment within the heart of Mei. Then again, in world's such as these there wasn't really much surprise in the things others could do. However, the words the woman spoke put true astonishment and anger inside of her. How could these people be such horrible monsters? How could they torture women like this and be ok with it? No matter what, Mei wouldn't let anyone mess with this girl,

She let her body recover for a bit although she still felt a lot of pain and the internal damage was still severe although she couldn't risk staying any longer. She leaned forward and would let out a pained groan as she reached out and grabbed the chain Mei had binding her to the wall. She forced her reiatsu into a weak cero that broke the chain and freed her although the collar would still remain in place. She tried once more to stand although her body couldn't just yet, "Look around for some clothes, then we can focus on getting out of here" she said and would wait for Mei to do the order while she let her back touch the cold stone once more, she knew she needed the shinigami's help to escape this place since she needed help to stand up.

Mei would watch the direction of the open door to make sure nobody found their way in to take the girl away or bother the two. Although she knew she couldn't do much, Mei would definitely try her hardest if anything happened. After a few moments of silence, Mei would feel her chain move and hear it rattle. As she turned around, brown eyes would catch sight of the chain breaking between the first of the girl's hand. Mei wasn't too surprised considering their location nor the kind of people that lived here. Soon, the girl would speak and Mei would jump into action with a bit of chain still hanging down her back and the collar still wrapped around her neck. Within the room was a bed, a closet, and a chest. If she had to guess, there would be something within the closet or the chest. First, Mei would scurry over to the chest only to trip and fall. The shinigami would pick herself up quickly with a mad blush covering her face. "Fourth seat of Squad Three and you can't even keep your act together. You're so pathetic," the young shinigami would mumble to herself as she opened the chest to see it was empty. Quietly, the woman would close the chest and stand making her way to the closet. Within the closet would be the very same garbs that Mei herself was wearing causing her to sigh.

Without further adieu, Mei would make her way over to the pain filled girl, who she assumed was an arrancar of some sort by what she had seen. Then again, it really didn't matter what she was because Mei was going to help her. She couldn't simply let the girl suffer and waste away in this wretched place, as far as she knew they were allies anyway. The shinigami would stick her hands out with the clothing folded in them. "This was all I could find at the moment. Though, I doubt you'll be very picky about it at all," Mei would speak before blushing. She always had a habit of talking without thinking, "I'm very sorry. Forgive my lack of restraint." Mei would turn her face away quickly before looking at the floor with disappointment in her eyes.

Elizabeth watched the girl look around for some clothes, she had expected her to attempt to save herself and abandon her although she didn't and for that she was glad. She looked at the girl, she imagined the pain she had suffered and had a feeling that the girl couldn't handle it. She was to kind, to soft and nice to survive the hell that was Dante's castle. She watched the girl hand them over, although the comment made her wince and she took them although the girl realised her mistake and apologised Elizabeth quickly got clothed, although it was quite awkwardly that she did it.

"It's fine. Can you help me up?" she asked, looking at Mei and waiting, of course she had come thus far so she assumed Mei would go that little bit further to help her and Elizabeth would use her body to lift herself up although had to hang on to the girls shoulders to survive although due to her height it was quite awkward using Mei to hold herself up and eventually she was able to find a position where Mei or her wouldn't be to uncomfortable, she would then realise that she hadn't introduce herself yet and realised it had been quite some time since her name had been known, her actual name and not something cruel or degrading. "My name's Elizabeth, what's your's?" she asked Mei and waited to know before actually moving off.

Mei would turn away as the girl got dressed. It only seemed like the polite thing to do, even though Mei had already seen her without clothing. After the girl got dressed, she would speak to Mei and the shinigami would definitely help her. At first, the girl's would struggle as Mei tried her best to help pick up the girl. Soon, Mei was holding the girl up in her poor injured state. Not too long after they were settled, Mei would hear the girl speaking to her. She would introduce herself and Mei would smile,"That's a pretty name. I like it. My name is Mei."

Elizabeth nodded when Mei introduced herself, she then began to slowly make her way through the hallway with Mei supporting her. They thankfully didn't encounter anyone although at one point the arrancar heard the sound and screaming break out nearby and moved the two of them the other way, screams tended to mean a fight had broken out or someone has being raped. Neither of the two were nice and she didn't want to see or let Mei see the acts that happened so casually under roof of this hell, eventually the two were almost to a nearby exit when her blood went cold and shivers went up her spine and the sound of the voice, "What are a couple of whores doing out? Did Virgil send me a treat? If so I must thank him later" came the voice of the Second in command of the Four Horseman Escasez.

The man smiled although quickly used sonido to appear in front of the doorway that was their freedom, "Dear me. I have never seen this one before... new meat?" he said and appeared in front of Mei, grabbing her jaw lightly and moving it to the side as if examining her, before his hand reached out and groped her breast although it didn't last very long as Elizabeth pushed off Mei and fell on Escasez much to his annoyance, "Stupid Bitch, you whores should learn your place in this world... at our feet" he said before bringing a fist into Elizabeth's face and made her scream in pain. Although she didn't let go, "Mei run!" she yelled and started thrashing around trying to distract the cruel beast in front of her, although if Mei tried to run he would aim a cero at Elizabeth's head to keep her in check so Mei wouldn't leave her behind.

He quickly grasped her neck and pressed her roughly to the floor, it was only then he realised something. "You're Pestilence's bitch aren't you?" he said, "That traitorous scum will know that everything you feel now is his fault" he said before pinning the screaming woman down, not bothering to try and silence her. Her pain only made him all the more aroused at her agony.
