As soon as I heard pained grunts and groans, I hurried forward to find out where they were coming from. However, David immediately grabbed my shoulders and hissed in my ears, "Idiot, slow down, otherwise you will be caught. If you're going to die, don't take me to die with you!"
I slowed down, and as much as I hate it, I knew I needed to be more careful. I nodded my head in David's direction, and he sighed once he realized I had calmed down. And he removed his hands from my shoulder.
I walked with caution around the corner, and my eyes widened from surprise. Two guards were in the prison, and they were standing behind the prince, who was completely passed out. His body hangs from the chains attached to the ceilings.
One vampire behind the prince was holding a whip with thorns on it, and he was slashing the prince's back. Layers and layers of bruises and lashes spread on the prince's back, from the shoulder to the lower back.
