How I Survived

Part 7

"No..no..no ple-ease, I'm sorry" a familiar voice woke me up.

I was greeted horribly with the sight of the young girl i met earlier tied to a chair -like i was- in front of me her head rested forward on her chest murmuring words of fear.

"Hey! Hey wake up sweetheart its a dream, wake up" i spoke calmy willing to do anything to help her.

There was a look i saw in her eyes earlier that made me want to wrap her up in a blanket and take her somewhere safe far away from here.

She lifted her head with a gasp "the-ey they caught us whats going to happen" my heart was tearing in two at her words. I was 16 turning 17 soon and even that was too young to be experiencing this type of life.

10 minutes past and she's calmed down greatly.

"What's your name?" Her innocent voice broke me out of my thoughts.

"Phoenix, what's yours"

"Rosalind, m-my names Rosalind but i prefer Rose or Rosy"

"That's a really pretty name" I tried to distract her from reality.

"Thank you, c-can you promise me something please" she asked in a small voice.

"Sure flower what is it?"

"If i- if i dont make it out of here can you find my parents please and gi-ive them my necklace" a tear trickled down her dirty cheek "t-tell them that i love them so much"

I nodded and promised her I would.

"how old are you flower"

"I'm 11 i think or 10 I'm not too sure"

I was about to reply until a man entered the room.

"I see you two have already been introduced, quiet rude really, meeting without the hosts permission" he was around 5'8 in height with dirty blonde hair and a thick beard.

He walked up to me and stroked my cheek before slapping me across the face "mother fucker" i hissed, venom coating my words as Rose spoke at the same time "d-dont touch her"

He smirked almost amused at her reaction "and why is that, have you forgotten your place weak little one" that seemed to have sent her into a past memory before she shook out of it.

That's my girl

He got out a knife and stabbed it into my thigh causing me to cry out, Rose having the same reaction as me. He threw his head back and laughed "i could trade you for a pretty penny"

I searched my brain for any way out of this situation "I'll do whatever you say willingly if you her go, you have my word"

He seemed to think over it for a moment almost shocked "well, isn't that shocking, the heartless Hera caring about someone, a pathetic weak little girl at that"

"Call her weak again and ill-"

"And you'll what babygirl huh your trapped" and with that he stabbed her in the thigh with the same knife he used on me.

I thrashed in my seat, the sounds of chains rattling through the room as i cursed and threatened him, the sound of her cries filling my ears.

"I'm going to make you suffer in ways your weak, pathetic mind can't even comprehend I swear to god"

He walked out my room after saying "perhaps that will give my girls something else to bond over, you know Phoenix for someone who has such powerful blood running their veins I'm surprised".

I immediately began to make sure Rosy was okay and started to get myself out of the restraints. Getting myself out I start to undo Rosies "come on flower, wrap your arms around me yeah" I gently coaxed her. She was so strong.
