Survival in Akame ga kill

[Leo's pov]

Pain…. Immense dreadful and harrowing pain was the first feeling I got when I came to my senses.

Like countless worms had dug through my skin and were tearing it piece by piece. I didn't even have the time to open my eyes to surroundings and see where I was.

At first, it was certainly painful, but bearable. I bore the pain through gritted teeth and thought, when would it go away?

But after a few minutes, true horrors rained upon my body one by one, each one so torturous…. So excruciating that I would rather have chosen to die painlessly then and there.

At first there was only the feeling of ants biting my skin, but after a few minutes it felt like someone was poking a needle from inside my skin pores,

after some time I could feel some black gooey substance sticking around me, sensations of it coming from my skin.

I screamed….. screamed for someone, for anyone to save me. But no help came.

After some unknown amount of time of crying for help and thrashing around that felt like decades for me, I started to feel another sensation from my body, but it was unlike the previous one…. I know that for sure.

Just as I was feeling that sensation from my body, a heart wrenching pain assaulted my muscles and bones.

It was so searing that it felt like someone was throwing several tons of weight upon my body and my bones were crushing because of the weights.

Tears and snot were covering my face, my throat sore from screaming continuously for an unknown amount of time,

After an indeterminate amount of time, my muscles tore, my bones stretched, and I suddenly saw a red room with a man in a red lab suit.

Just when I was about to think about the man, I immediately gritted my teeth and let out a bestial roar that was coming from the pain that suddenly assaulted like a hurricane.

It seemed like someone was tearing my flesh and bones with a chainsaw and was constantly healing me, only to restart tearing the flesh in a more gruesome way.

After an indeterminate amount of time, I was left with a complete absence of feeling. My body's pain receptors seemed to have been dulled by the relentless abuse and torture, leaving me with only numbness.

‘Where the hell am I?’ was my first thought after finding myself in that situation,

Why was that man standing there and not helping me?

Was the man the reason for my inhumane torture?

…..If the answer is affirmative, I will inflict the same pain I am feeling onto that man multiplied by 100.

Is it possible that the reason everything looks red to me is because of the sticky liquid, potentially my blood, that's clinging to my body?

‘But why am I here? I should be at home with Liya and Ron, not in some torture chamber! Where the hell are Liya and Ro……..’

Just as I was thinking about Liya and Ron, my mind came to a halt and the memories started to flood of my previous encounter with them.

‘...............’

As I recalled all of my previous memories, the eerie stillness seemed to prolong and a question seemed to tear my heart into pieces.

‘..............’

The sight I witnessed before arriving here was Liya being surrounded by soldiers and Ron's body riddled with bullets, as I shouted to stop the sword from beheading Ron.

‘.............’

The torture, once considered inhumane and unbearable, appeared insignificant in the face of this simple but terrifying question that gripped my heart and shattered my soul.

After contemplating several unknown minutes, I seemingly asked no one, in particular, my thoughts, in a jumbled mess.

‘Ar..e …. T..he…y ….. de…a..d..?’

This seemingly simple but awfully painful question was eating me from the inside out.

‘N..o… ..th…ey….a..re....n..o..t….de..a.d!’

My thought process became slow, and I instantly began to deny the reality, 

'No they can't be dead….. they have to be..alive.'

'…yeah I just have to go back home to see them…… Liya and Ron should..be searching for me, they should be waiting for ….me at home!'

Yeah, I just have to get out of this hell and I will be able to see their smiling faces!

After thinking about it and giving myself some hope, just when I began to think of a way to release me of my current predicament but suddenly a sharp itch assaulted me,

The feeling of red ants burrowing and stinging my skin made me start scratching right away. Unfortunately, my sufferings did not come to an end.

Soon more blood began to come out of my body due to my excessive scratches. My hair began to fall and I began to lose my consciousness.

As I lost consciousness, I had one final thought: if I ever manage to escape, I will make sure to kill that bastard who torturing me in the most gruesome way.
