For a second I truly believe that it doesn’t work, but I am wrong. The pain takes over my whole body when the Torture Curse hits me and I fall down on my knees and can’t keep in a scream.  My head!  I grab at my head as if I can ease the pain that way, but it blooms from the inside out and in waves it hits every inch of my body. Black spots form in front of my eyes and I only hear the ringing of my own screams. It feels like somebody is pulling my vocal cords out of my throat and the taste of blood reaches my tongue. I curl up to a ball, just like I always used to do if my stomach hurts. This is the most intense pain, as if my intestines are being twisted and pulled out of my body.
