Iru moaned, but didn't move.
It hurt. Everything hurt. Places he didn't have names for hurt. It hurt to just lie there. It hurt to breathe. He exhaled,  and whimpered. They held him down, and they bit him, and they cut him, and they-
No. He didn't want to remember that. He wanted to forget. He just wanted to sink away into a black oblivion, a soft inky darkness that would smother everything. This fear, this pain, this cold, but mostly the humiliation.
They laughed. Just laughed at him as they-
Footsteps.
Eyes widening, he inched away from the doorway. Or, attempted to. But the slightest movement sent shivers down his spine and he stopped. The door creaked open and he froze, pressing himself to the ground as if he could blend in with the blood stained tiles.
Echoing smacking, continuing through the black pitch and bouncing, reverberating forever, like the rolling waves of the ocean. Tap -ap -ap -ap. Tap -ap -ap -ap. Closer, and closer.
Iru whimpered, and braced himself for the pain. The pain that would always - always! - come. He didn't know what he did this time to deserve it. He couldn't remember what he did to displease Ridley, or what he might have said earlier. He had been quiet. Throughout the whole thing. So... why?
The footsteps stopped.
A hand was on his shoulder, but Iru didn't dare look up at who touched him. The hand pulled back, slick with blood. Then a strong arm wrapped about Iru's waist and hefted him up. The Namuh gasped, wincing as the cracks in his skin spread and widened. He was not placed down, however. Tossed over a shoulder like a sack of potatoes, he lay there as the floor slipped away under him.
As blackness engulfed his vision, he heard a smooth voice mumble, "Come along, worm."
