[Evil Tink]

Melody yelled out as the Keeper began to beat Holden. She covered her ears and closed her eyes tightly, but that did not help her. Her body trembled as she cried. Holden did not deserve this. It was all her fault. After a moment she looked back to Jean-Pierre, "S'il vous plaît, Monsieur, arrêtez-vous. J'étais celui qui vous fait du tort en désobéissant maîtrise. S'il vous plaît. Arrêtez.(Please, Sir, stop. I was the one who wronged you by disobeying Master. Please. Stop.)" Her legs fell from beneath her, her blue eyes pleading, "Je vais rester ici et je vais toujours à l'écoute, je le promets. S'il vous plaît laissez-le aller.(I'll stay here and I'll always listen, I promise. Please let him go.)"

Solomon cringed as he felt Holden's pain from the torture. He didn't dare interfere though. Holden had to learn his place, even if it almost killed him. He closed his eyes with a sigh, "I'm sorry Alicia, that you had to feel this."
