Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Finley hit the cell iron bars to drag Rowan's attention to her.

"Is she dead?". She asked weakly.

Rowan turned and stared at her, ignoring the question that Finley asked.

"Answer me?! Did you kill her?". Finley shouted this time staring at him without fear.

"She's not dead".Rowan answered.

Finley was relieved as she lost her grip on the iron bars she was holding and fell to the floor.

"Yet".

Rowan said and entered Kali's cell.

Finley was stunned at the last word that Rowan said but it's true Kali wouldn't make it out of here alive, there was little to no hope for her here either.

'Shane, please do something, come and get me out of here'. Finley said quietly as she started crying.

Rowan brought in a stretcher, he put Kali on top.

Finley for the first time saw Kali as she was being carried away.

Kali was also young like her and she was a brunette.

The sight of Kali made Finley realize that if she didn't do anything to escape here, in no time, she would be like that.

Even if the possibility of Kali escaping this torture is low, if she would be able to escape, she wouldn't be able to live life the way she used to.

That thought made Finley scared.

She needed to do something fast instead of sitting here all day waiting to be eaten alive.

It's been four hours now and Finley has not yet replied or sent any pictures.

Shane looked at herself in the mirror, she had on a normal expression with no single trace of worry on her face but internally she was worried and scared, imagining the worst case possible and asking herself questions that only Finley can answer and trying to calm herself down that there was nothing to worry about.

Her phone started ringing, she picked it up and looked at the caller ID. It was her boyfriend, Conrad.

"When are you going to come? I am already at the venue with Wyatt".

"I am already dressed just give me thirty minutes and I will be there". Shane replied.

"Alright then...". Conrad said before the phone was taken from him.

"Hey, can you bring some cash with you, I need money urgently?".

"Wyatt, go work for money and stop begging around, what of the one I gave you last week?

Don't tell me you spent it all on that girl". Shane replied in a harsh tone.

"Look, Katelyn is not 'that girl', she is my soon-to-be girlfriend, and secondly, I am not begging around, I am asking my best cousin for money, and thirdly...".

"Wyatt, I am not in the mood today, okay? Save this joke for next time". Shane said interrupting Wyatt.

"Are you still worried about that your girlfriend?! She's enjoying herself while you are having sleepless nights". Wyatt joked.

Shane got angry and hung up on him.

Wyatt always joked around and wasn't ever serious, even in the most serious of situations Wyatt would always sneak in jokes.

Shane was ready to leave her apartment as she picked up her dark brown small purse on top of the Vanity.

She wore a black short skirt and a dark blue V-neckline top that gummed her smooth skin.

Unlike Finley who likes light or colorful make-up, Shane on the other hand liked hers in a darker shade.

Shane kept a very short black hair, her whole appearance looked badass.

She boarded a cab to the venue, where her boyfriend and cousin are waiting for her.

One of Conrad's close friends was celebrating his birthday party and he invited Shane.

Rowan stood in front of Finley's cell with the keys in his hand as he watched Finley move back trembling in fear.

In Finley's mind, it was as if her time to die had come as she was about to be taken into a slaughterhouse.

He opened the iron bars and entered inside.

Finley began to panic, her breathing became uneven. There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run to, nothing to use to defend herself. She was as vulnerable as a day-old chick in front of a crow.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't come near me! Please, stay away". Finley pleaded as she cried.

Finley's pleas were ignored as if she was talking to a deaf person. Even a deaf person wouldn't ignore her because they can still see, read lips, and understand expressions but

Rowan ignored her pleas and walked toward her bringing out handcuffs from his pockets.

Finley looked around for anything she could hold but there was none apart from the toilet and the mattress on the floor.

Seeing that her cries and pleas didn't move him she stopped.

"Are you going to rape me?".

She asked suddenly making Rowan pause.

"I am not gonna rape you". Rowan answered firmly like raping her was the last thing on his mind.

Finley stared at him with disbelieving eyes.

"Stand up, turn around, and face the wall". Rowan commanded in a firm voice.

"Make me".

Finley said not knowing where she got the courage to talk back when he is in front of her not in a happy mood.

Rowan didn't utter a word again instead he picked her up with a hand like she was nothing and pushed her to the wall.

"Fuck you!".

Finley said angrily

Rowan cuffed her and dragged her out of the cell with one hand.

"Don't push me like that, I will walk on my own!". Finley said trying to shake her body off his strong grip.

Surprisingly Rowan listened and removed his hand from her.

"Yeah, take those filthy hands off".

With Rowan walking behind her, Finley looked around without turning her head. She was scanning the area and looking for an escape route so that she could run away.

"Don't even think of it".

She heard Rowan's voice say but she ignored him and asked.

"Where are you taking me to?".

"To take pictures". Rowan replied.

"What?!".
