Grace awoke, to the smell of filth. It smelled like trash, blood, and vomit. Jesus, how horrible. Grace coughed once she awoke, she drowsily looked at everyone in the room. The girl saw the family, her eyes widened and she struggled to talk. Dottie sat down on the ground, leaning against Racket, drowsy and tired.
She was pale and her wrists had bandages with straps on them, she was out of it due to blood loss. Alec was gnawing on a bone from the meat he was eating, it seemed delicious. Grace didn't want to eat it. Racket was smoking a cigarette as he ate, eating slowly, while he held Dottie up by his shoulder and arm. Maddie wasn't there at all, for reasons that only the survivors truly knew.
Grace looked at everyone, struggling to speak a sentence. She feared they'd hurt her further than they already have if she spoke. Racket's eyes trailed her, "You look… SCARED!" He teased with a loud laugh as he looked at her, Dottie's eyes shot open as she looked at Grace. She pulled out a knife, "I COULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" She threatened with a large smile, she skittered over to Grace and slashed her cheek. Grace began to shriek, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?" She screamed with anger and horror.
Racket shoved a fork into the girl's mouth, forcing her to eat the food that they had 'prepared'. "Eat it. It's good." He would say with a deep scary grin, Grace coughed with disgust as she tried to swallow it and not irritate them. She wanted to scream and vomit, it was so horrifying. She was being force fed, tortured, degraded, and injured by some horrific family in Colorado Springs.
Grace began to slowly cry as Dottie got close to her ear. She was inching into her personal space, she then began whispering. "We cooked your best friend." The deranged woman muttered with a smile forming on her face, she pulled away. Grace's eyes widened as tears streamed down her face. She began to feel herself start to reject the food that was fed to her. "Oh my god…" She whispered before she leaned forward, she threw up harshly with a cough following it.
She began to heave, trying to stop her body from forcing itself to throw up the meat. "W-W was that girl's n-name again? Your best friend… What w-was her name?" Dottie asked with a creepish grin, she laughed hysterically. Kate looked at her, she had been awake and Grace didn't even notice. "It was Nicole." She added with a distressed grin, "Well… Me and Racket, Alec… We prepared her as a meal. She's our food tonigh-ht. Thanks for c-coming around here, cuz… n-now we have food for a-all of us!" She laughed with a terrifying expression on her face.
Grace gagged as bile rised in the back of her throat, causing her to vomit more. "W-Why would you do this to us?!" She cried with horror as she looked at her. She looked at everyone with fear, she was seriously worried. Babee walked down the hall and into the living room, "Hey! Sorry, I was cleaning up that other boy's body…" She implied. She sat beside Grace and then laid a hand on Grace's hair, she pulled it and inched towards her ear. "You're stupid." She whispered as she slapped her away.
Grace begged for them to let her and Kate go, "PLEASE LET ME AND KATE GO! WE HAVEN'T DONE YOU ANY HARM!" She screamed with anger and horror. Dottie looked at her with a confused expression as she raised her eyebrow up, Racket also looked over as he then coughed from inhaling a large puff of smoke as he realized what she just said. "YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING, HUH?! One, y-you slashed my wrists o-open. Two, Yer friend almost killed ma lil sister. Three, yer stupid friend found my lil sister and led her to our house!" Dottie screamed. "And, Kate kicked me in the stomach. I have a huge bruise on it now and i am having trouble breathing." Racket said with anger as he huffed in a puff of smoke.
Grace breathed heavily as she laid there. "And, you also threw up on our floor." Babee added with anger as she inched towards Grace, kicking her lightly with her foot. Grace pulled herself away with fear, she sobbed profusely. Kate looked at them, trying to get near Grace. "I promise it'll be okay…" Kate would say with fear. She eyed her and then Racket grabbed the girl by her neck, pushing her to the floor, holding her neck down. "Don't get near the other victim…" He whispered with determination. Kate tried to wiggle out of his grip, he held her down, pressing against her neck. His face got closer to hers, staring into her eyes with anger.
Kate screamed with horror and loudness, Racket's ears spiked as he covered them. "OH MY GOD! SHUT UP!" He screamed with anger. His ears began to ring, he then raised his foot. He slammed it down onto her stomach, stepping atop her. Kate screamed with pain as she felt her insides get smashed by his boots. "Be quiet. Since you can't stay obedient, I'm taking you upstairs." He threatened as he grabbed her shoulders, pulling her up. He then grabbed her by her arm, roughly. He began to walk her down the hallway, staring at her continuously while still looking at where he was going.
Alec smirked, "Make sure to kiss her while your up there." He called sarcastically. Racket ignored him as he walked up the stairs, dragging the poor teenager. The man eyed Maddie's door, he walked over. "Hey! HEY!" He called outside the door. Maddie didn't answer, so he went into the bathroom. He had one upstairs already.
"LET ME GO!" Kate screamed with horror as she thrashed around in her arms, Racket looked at her and clocked her in the jaw with his hand. Kate began to cough up blood from the hard hit, crying repeatedly as she looked up at him. Racket smirked, he had no sympathy. "M'Kay. Well, now your gonna go in the bathroom with me." He grinned.
Kate and Racket were in the bathroom. Kate was pressed up against the wall by Racket, he was searching for his rope, attempting to tie her up. He then tied her hands behind her back and then sighed. He looked at the bathtub, he remembered his plan. That's why he was going up here anyways, not to attack and torture this girl, but to die. He was intending on dying.
Racket looked at the medicine cabinet, he whistled as he searched for his medication. "Right~ Okay…" He trailed off as he found the bottle. "My schizophrenia meds?... Nah… That'll be not so good… what about… ANTIDEPRESSANTS!" He exclaimed with excitement as he looked at the bottle with a laugh.
Kate looked at him with fear, oh jesus. She was gonna watch a man overdose right here. Racket opened the bottle, pressing down the child safety lock and turning. He then poured the whole bottle into his hand, approximately 10 pallets. He then put them into his mouth and turned on the sink, putting water into his mouth and swallowing.
He then gagged, to much of a dose. He didn't care though, he just had to make sure he didn't throw up the medication. He sighed, stepping into the bathtub tiredly, then he laid down. He slowly pulled off his vest and placed it on the floor. He laid there, slowly falling asleep.
"HELP!" Kate screamed with horror and anger, "LET ME OUTTA HERE!" She screamed. Grace listened and she didn't know how to deal with this, it was terrifying still. Alec looked at her, "He's torturin' yer best friend!" He cried with excitement. Babee sighed, Dottie smiled at the girl.
Dottie looked at everyone, "Uhm… Those cries are weird, i don't think she's in pain. It might be somethin' else." she said as she got up. She threw a piece of meat at Grace as she walked out, Dottie went upstairs. Grace smiled at herself as she then used her plan, she grabbed the baseball from the nightstand and threw it at Alec's head. She paralyzed him from the neck down, and he fell forward with astonishment.
Babee gasped and rushed to get Grace away, Grace slapped the young child across the face, pushing her to the ground. She tackled her and then grabbed a knife. Grace began to sniffle, she couldn't hurt a child but if she wanted to live, she had to. She stabbed the girl in the stomach and the girl began to thrash and scream, tears running down her face. Grace got up and sighed. She walked over to Alec as he laid on the floor.
She turned him upright on the ground, she then sat on top of his stomach and raised her fists. He stared up at her. "YOU. RAPED. MY. BEST. FRIEND. YOU. EVIL. MONSTER!" Grace screamed as she punched him repeatedly Alec in the face. Alec groaned in pain, blood rushing down his face. Grace raised her hand far up, punching him in the nose hard. It broke the man's nose. She then punched him in the jaw, making sure it broke his jaw too. She then shoved her hands into eyes, making sure she got rid of his sight too. She then punched him in the head five times, immediately killing him.
She began to scream and cry, before getting up and rushing upstairs. She ran to the bathroom, and then grabbed Kate. the girl saw Dottie cradling Racket in her arms, sobbing profusely. "NO! NO! NO! YOU CAN'T DIE! PLEASE, NO!" Dottie hugged Racket in her arms with fear and sadness, she was desperate to help him and make him live.
She hadn't even noticed Kate and Grace run. Grace held onto Kate's hand, pulling her down the stairs. "The front door, it's open!" Kate exclaimed. Grace turned to Kate, smiling hopefully before she placed her hands on Kate's shoulders. She leaned forward to Kate, placing her lips onto the others. Kate gasped as she leaned in for more to this, she placed her hands on the girl's cheeks.
Grace and Kate had made it. They are alive. "I'm sorry… That was… Random. But, would it be random to say that… I love you?" Grace whispered. "No. It wouldn't be random. I love you too." Kate looked at her and sighed. That's when they heard Dottie screaming and cussing at them. "RUN!" Kate exclaimed as she grabbed the others hand. Grace and Kate ran out the front door.
They saw the crisp dust roads and kept running. Not looking back. They kept running. And running. Until they couldn't see the house anymore.
