"Lucas don't." Tessa said then turned back to dragon "were not telling you s*:+" 

Luke shook his head "Suh language."

"The alternative is getting us killed, Tess." Lucas said.

"If you don co-operate then we will show you our method of keeping your girlfriend chair bound." Dragon says with a smile then turns to Luke, "Can I shut her up?"

Lucas was getting uncomfortable with how close Dragon was to him but he tried to maintain his composure. "I'll do whatever you want so long as none of us are leaving here in body bags." He said.

"no dragon. These are our guests. We just want answers and no one leaves in a body bag,as you so eloquently put." He then walked back to Lucas " again. I must have you pick. Your life. Or hers. I'm going to torture one of you to the brink of death. Where you beg for the sweet release. Make your choice"

Dragon rolls her eyes, "Forget it you can dig your own grave." Ox then smiles, "What Luke means is that we are going to break you. Just like we did with your other Lover boy Zak." Dragon then turns around and smacks Ox so hard he falls back, "You idiot. No one was supposed to know we were back. You want to end like Circe girl Cassie?"

Tessa looked up at zaks name and tried to lunge for dragon "what the hell did you do to him!?"

Ox smiled, "Oh nothing per say. Though we might have broken him mentally after we had a little fun with his mortal girlfriend."

Tessa glared and spat on the ground near dragons feet "b*+($"

"Me." Lucas said. "Torture me, just don't lay a finger on her."

Dragon just rolls her eyes, "Luke sweetie, why don't I take it from here? Boys get the machine." She says as Ox and Pig roll out a large machine, "It took quite a few tries and bodies to perfect this. You have your sister Beth to thank for all this."

"no don't touch him! I'm a daughter of Hades. Isn't that more valuable? Take me!" Tessa shouted as tears filled her eyes 

Luke looked between the two and smirked "we will get to you honey." He then turned to dragon " don't kill him" and left the room

"Tess." Lucas said firmly. "It's okay."

"no this isn't fair. Please don't hurt him. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" She shouted and as she did the ground began to shake scaring even Tessa. 
Luke came back in the room "what was that?!"

Dragon frowns, "That's it. You want to know what its like to be like daddy dearest sweetie? Then by all means go first. Hook her up." Ox and Pig then take her and hook her up to the machine. Dragon then smiles wickedly as she turns to Lucas, "At least youll get to see what it like to be just like everyone else."

Luke held a hand up "stop." He then walked over to Tessa "you're a powerful one. You could be of use to me.."

Lucas struggled slightly against the binds of his chair. "Don't you lay a finger on her."

Dragon sighs, "That's it I give up. Rat! Get in here!" A small woman comes racing in, as Dragon talks, "You deal with this because Ive reached my limit of incompetence." Rat then smiles as Dragon huffs out of the room. "Well aren't I the lucky one. Boys? Why don't one of you take the Princess of Death and lock her in the next room while the other strap this one into the machine so we can get the extraction done." Rat then turns to Luke, "I hope that'll be satisfactory enough for you."

"as I say don't kill them. But test the new procedure on them. I want them to forget ever seeing us." Luke said as he eyed Tessa " I might have some fun with this one first." He said stroking her cheek as Tessa cringed away from him

Lucas clenched his fist on the chair. He wanted to ask about the "extraction" but figured the best choice was keeping his mouth shut.

Luke went to the other room where they had taken Tessa and had his way with her before they began the extraction

They strap Lucas into the machine. Rat smiles , "Now you'll see what its like. But before we begin..." She says and shoves a gag with a rubber bite gard in it. " This is going to be very painful, but if all goes well you wont remember why. Start it up Ox." Ox then turns on the machine. A small tube and needle were stuck into Lucas's right arm and leg. As soon as the machine start almost instantly gold blood was being sucked out. His godly blood.

Lucas screamed through the gag put on his mouth.

Rat smiles then Ox turns the machine off for a brief moment. "You should be honored Henderson. This will be the first time since that Amy and Cassie girl did this that it has been tested out. Of course history seems to be repeating its self. Neither of them were the ones really calling the shots were they? And neither is Luke. He's just the piggy bank for someone ever higher in status than he is. Oh? You hear that? seems like he is having quite a bit of fun with your girlfriend. Maybe her and that Dawn Haven girl will be wheelchair twins." She says letting that sink in while the machine starts up again.
Meanwhile Pig is standing guard just outside the door to the room Tessa and Luke were in.

Lucas remained silent and shot a glare at Rat.
