"Say what now?!?!" I screamed at him. "Brother? Really? Could you please give me a more believable lie?. This one's too ridiculous " I deadpanned.
Fucker's really stupid.
"I knew you weren't gonna believe me and that's okay. I mean, I still find it hard to believe that I am a twin." He said pacing about the room. " But you can see for yoursel-" He said walking towards the bright area
"No!!" I screamed looking away, not bothering to spare him a glance. " Please do not step into the light, please." I pleaded still facing the other direction
"And why is that? Huh?. Oh, I get it. You are scared that I'd ruin the image of him in your head now, aren't you?" When I didn't respond, he continued.
"I am not a bad person, my dear friend. I am just quite..broke at the moment, and my own father always makes sure it remains that way, so that I can do all of his dirty work." I looked up slowly alittle to see if he was in the light. As soon as I saw that he wasn't I turned to face him squarely.
"So that's why I'm kidnapped ehh? Because your father sent you? What are you, his errand boy? Look, you'd kill me anyway, so I'd say this. Your father is a loser and a coward. He doesn't know how to own his shit that why he keeps acting like a roach, sneaking around in the dark doing dirty dirty!...things, And you, you are like one of his baby roaches, kissing his sorry ass-"
"Shut the fuck up, woman!"
"Oh hell no, I won't!!" I clapped right back at him. "What are you gonna do, huh? Beat me? Again? Go on!! Do it. Pssst, we better get started; Papa can be quite strict now, can't he?, so go on and do your morning duty, Dog" I clapped, staring right back at him. Daring him.
"Yeah, you are right. I need to feed; but for that to happen, I need you to be beaten and battered." He said staring down hard at me, I charged back clanking the chains which for some reason where giving really tiny shocking sensations against my skin. I saw him take a step back away from the chain I tried hitting him with.
What ever has come into me since I got locked up in here is really out of the books.
"Well, I hope you do enjoy your sessions, Vixen". I completely froze in my stance as he walked out of the room.
Did he just....how did he?..the father can't know . He hasn't heard Ray call me that before unless...unless someone's reporting to him..oh fuck me!!.
I sat back on the ground leaning into the corner as tears clouded my eyes. I have tried really hard to stop the tears from pouring but they keep coming back to my lids. I cleaned them up immediately, since I swore, that I wasn't gonna give them my tears.
They ain't worth it .
Two female minions walked in with bats looking eager to lay them on me. They've been changing their instruments lately; from canes to sticks and now bats.
They want to break me. But I don't want to be broken. I have a whole life ahead of me. And even if I do die here, I'd keep fighting till I die.
"Ready to die, Princess?"
"Yeah, after I stick that bat up your vagina." I clapped back giving her a sly grin.
"More jokes about my vagina, really? You must be really interested." She retorted.
"Naa, mate. It stinks love, so I'd use the bat to close it up. We do not need you depleting the atmosphere more than it is already. So let's say I'm saving the world fro-"
"Shut the fuck up!!" She screamed using the bat to hit my shoulder. I winced. I already have a huge bruise there, you bitch!!!
"Just what I love to hear. I can't wait to hear you bawl, smart mouth." Her partner said spitting on my leg. I cringed moving further into the corner. I had a witty remark to retort but I need all the strength I can get right now. The bats are so fucking heavy.
They carried on hitting me at interval, avoiding my head and knees. But my ribs weren't shown an ounce of mercy. I was powerless against them. I just shut my eyes groaning and wincing whenever they hit an old bruise.
When they were done, they both gave me hard knocks before leaving the room, but not before I could croak out horrible names for them.
I gave my body a once over. I couldn't see the bruises but I could feel them...all over me. I'm glad I couldn't see them, I would have been broken by now if I could. I reached out to touch my lap, it felt too soft and sensitive. I tried to wiggle my toes but I couldn't feel them.
Are my officially numb? Is that a good thing? Atleast I wouldn't feel the pains of the beatings anymore. Would Ray look for me? Would he panic that I disobeyed him? For some reason, I felt so pressed during the conference so I couldn't obey him. Would he really hold that against me? How was I meant to know that I could be kidnapped in a toilet? Besides I went with....
This is crazy. I'm thinking about how Ray would feel while I am the one beaten and shattered. He might not be able to come for me but that doesn't mean I have to wait.
Hopefully, I could find a way out of this...hellhole.
Hopefully.
Somewhere in the same building....
"How's it going?" The person asked from the other side of the line.
"It's been fine so far, no issues."
"Is she broken yet?"
"No, ma'am. It doesn't look like she will break, ma. She looks really strong."
"Thank the gods. I do hope she remains that way. Sadly we can't pop in to help. She'd have to handle this part on her own. How does she react to the silver chains?"
"No visible reaction, ma. I think she feels it but she'd wave it off as electricity. That's the only logical theory, ma'am "
"Yeah, you are very correct. Hmmm, I really do hope this works out. Do not drop the clues yet. I need her to get stronger. We need her stronger. Do you understand?"
"Yes, ma'am "
"Good. But when it looks like she might be cracking, drop the clues and say the incantation. That should make them find her faster."
"Noted, ma'am."
"Good, good. Do have a lovely day, Idris."
