My character gets tortured for trying to kill the BBEG

I feel like my DM just punished me/my character because she (my character) didn't align with how the DM wanted to end the campaign.

So, we've been playing this campaign for a literal year and it just ended today ! Long story short, we were supposed to help an angel kill some vampires for the angel's redemption or something. The angel said "fuck off" after the death of the first vampire and was forced to kill the second one. The last one was let alive and the angel flew away.

My character developed an extreme hatred for vampires and forced the killing of the second one. At that time I felt like it was more of the DM's will to save the vampires than the angel and it was confirmed after the last one.

The thing is, all the party members wanted to let the vampires alive except mine to the point where I was forced to choose between fighting the entire party + the angel + the last vampire (the literal final boss) ALONE or agreeing with the party. For my character it was absolutely impossible to let the vampire live but I know how bad PvP is for everyone. Thankfully, I came up with a plan to leave the room and theoreticly take revenge after the end of the campaign.

It was just a plan, nothing to be sure of, everyone could say "well if you do that I'll do that" (which happened) but it was all theoretical as it was after the end of the campaign. I even said multiple times "it's better not to have answers on how this plan goes" to avoid PvP and insatifaction at all costs.

Then, at the epilog, the DM showed the tomb of the first dead vampire with all the players (except me) and the last vampire gathered around to say goodbye one last time, very emotional moment. After that, she (DM) displayed my character alone in a cell.

(I skipped a lot, tldr; we were in an angelic trial for letting the angel fly away. I accepted an unfair deal just to leave the trial with the intent to not do anything about it but the angel judge or something found out)

Back to the cell, it was a magical cell where those inside can't die (even from aging) and can't be killed. I was kind of a little frustrated that my character ends up in a cell but ok. "Lmao what if I punch the wall for like 10,000 years, it'll eventually collapse". The DM immediately said that the walls repair themselves every day. "Hum ok, knowing my character she will piss off the guard so bad lol" DM says there's no guard, only someone that comes sometimes to tell some bad news to my character. "What ?"

At this point I laughed it off but man, my character isn't just imprisoned, she's litterally tortured for eternity. Worst thing is, I specifically said 3 DAYS BEFORE THAT, that it would be better not to know how it ends for my character.

Damn man, I know it's just a DnD character but I really feel bad for what's happening to her and all that because she disagrees with the DM ?

Anyway... This is my first time here, I think I just needed to complain but thanks for reading this
