Chapter 7 - MEMORIES

MARYAM'S POV

Friday June 13th.

"Help" I shouted as this figure in the shadows was coming for me.

"Please let us go, we would do anything you ask" the girl sitting besides me said as she bagged for them to not come close to use.

We were three the other person too was a girl although she hasn't said anything yet, we were together and our bodies were touching, I was the one in the middle as I could feel both of their bodies running mine.

"Cough cough" the girl on my right said as she coughed out blood, what's going on?

"Lina? Lina?" The other girl shouted as she cried herself, both their legs were chained and their hands too, what's going on here? Why aren't mine tied?

"HELP! HELP!! HELP!!!" I began to shout as she continued to cough out blood all over my clothes, she was weak she could nearly move any part of her body, she has suffered a lot.

"KEEP IT DOWN" the man from the shadows shouted.

"Please someone, anyone help us" the girl besides me proceeded to beg again "please" she said as she sobbed uncontrollably, we have been here for only God knows how long, we only get fed once a day and get water that isn't enough for a toddler talk more of a grown adult.

"Please do something, you don't have chains on you" the girl besides me said.

"What if they harm me?" I was scared for my life, who knows what could possibly be done to me.

"You won't know until you give it a try" she said as she looked at me desperately "my name is Layla, please get help" she begged.

"How am I going to do that? He is right there watching our every move"  i said panting hanging for dear life, i don't even have enough energy to move around i can't get help.

"There is a cell phone right there" she pointed at the table that was at the other end of the room "he dropped it there after his last phone call, go over there and dial 911 that's all I am asking for" she said as she continued to sob "I don't want to die here" she added.

"And what if he catches me? What am I going to do?" I was scared of this torture but at least it has to end right?

"Then you toss the phone over to me, I can try to make the call"she said assuring me of my safety.

"I can't do it"

"You can, no one is coming to save us we are all on our own, that's the only chance we have" she said encouraging me, "if I wasn't cuffed to the wall I would have done it myself" she added.

"No, I am sorry I can't" I don't want to risk my life, who knows what they would do to me if I get caught.

"Please, don't walk run as fast as you can and dial the number" she said "please, look at the other girl Lina she looks like she isn't going to make it any longer, please for her" she urged me.

"No" I began to shed tears as I looked over to the girl Lina that was now on the floor still coughing blood, the sight was grusum I couldn't bare to look again  as I moved my eyes from her to the table where the phone was.

"If we don't do anything it's only a matter of time before that would be us" she said with a shaky voice, "I know I have no right to ask this from a stranger but please please I want to leave this place, I don't want to die here"

Is there hope? Can I make it there in time? The man in the shadows is still there watching me, can I make it to the table and make the call before he gets to me?

"Please" she begged as her voice became thin and she also began to cough, it was dry though at least for now.

Okay" I stood up and took a run for it, "the table! the table!! the table!!!" I continued to repeat to myself as I looked at what was before me, I wanted to get out of here and this looks like my only hope, my heart beat increased and I can feel my chest pounding like it was about to leave my body.

"Where do you think you are going?" The shadow man said as he also started to make a run for the table.

"No" Layla shouted from behind me.

"I can't" I said as I tured around to go back to where the other girls are, I can't make it in time to get the phone before him, he is obvious bigger and stronger than I am i am going to get killed if i go there.

"Pow" a loud sound was made by the wooden floor as my body landed on it, I twisted my ankle tripped and fell. "No" I said as I began to drag my body in my poor attempt to get up and continue running.

"Haha, funny" he said as he proceeded to climb my ankle, the one that was already twisted.

"Please" I begged as he continued to move up my legs.

"Get of me, please please" he finally came down from my legs and proceeded  to drag me by the legs, I can barely move any part of my body, I am so weak from hunger and dehydration that all I needed was food and some rest.

"Get back here" he said as he proceeded to stand on my legs again making it impossible for me to move, he was a hefty man and my body can not even carry his normal weight but here he was standing on my legs.

"Huuhh, please" I sighed as I began to beg him to get of my legs.

"Wake her up" I heard from a distance as I saw a shining white light.

"Doctor, wake her up, I said wake her up now" someone was shaking my body trying to distract me from the light.

"Wake up now! And sit up"

"Huh" I sat up straight at the command of the voice.

"That was a success, her first hipnotic session" he said as he proceeded to write something down and leave.

"Are you okay?" Dana asked as she hugged me, I was still in confusion as my pupil were dilated and the rest of my body was numb.

"What's going on?" I asked straight into the distance, was that a dream?
