I Arm-Wrestled the Devil Once.

Chapter II: The End of the Beginning.

I go inti to the car and climb into the back. It reaches of alcohol as I work my way into a siting position. I ask where we're going and am met with silence. One of James' football friends, Matt climbs back and ties my hands behind my back. He grabs me by the hair and says, "somewhere you'll never forget, sweetheart." with an evil grin and I pull away only to have him jerk me back to him as he takes the liberty of shoving his tongue down my throat. I bite down in an attempt to stop him and he yells out in pain. James and the two girls ask what happened "the bitch just bit my tongue! The bitch-fuck look at all the blood...you'll pay sweetheart. Trust me." and with another evil grin and a wink he went back to his seat to address his tongue, "you're gonna hope this still works later!" he yells back proving my thoughts of what his intentions were correct. I have to get out of here. I frantically search for a way out to no avail. We take a left, two rights, another left until I got lost. I have no idea where we are.. Suddenly the car stops and everyone leaves me in the car until Matt comes to get me. I move away from his hands and say "I can get out myself." and spit at him. "I never knew you were so tough..I like that" he replies and picks me up and carries me to the house we are parked in front of. I stay silent the whole way in. Once we get inside Matt takes me downstairs into the basement while James, Savannah, and Brittany go watch TV and talk about nonsense as if they didn't just kidnap me. I yell out for help but Matt covers my mouth before I can get anything out. He sets me on the floor and when I try to get up he slaps me hard and I fall back. He laughs and says "I told you you'd pay" as he unzips his pants. I scream for help but no one can hear me. I go through it in silence. When he finishes I'm still on the floor, he calls down James and asks if he wants a go, "hell no. She's ugly and fat. Why would I do that?" Matt shrugs and walks up the stairs as the girls walk down.

"James, baby, can you hold her up for me?" savannah asks. "of course, babe." he replies and holds me up because I can not stand any longer. Savannah starts "So...you think it's ok to make fools of us in front of the whole school? Well, how well did that work for you?" she waits for a reply and then punches me in the face "you think, you can just ruin the thing I've worked so hard for?" another punch to the jaw "you, a fat nobody" punch "making fun of me," punch "the most popular" punch "girl" punch "in school?" punch. Each punch is harder than the last. I finally have enough and say "everyone thinks you're a bitch..even Brittany." savannah looks to Brittany who just shrugs. While she and James are looking I rip away from James' arms and attack Savannah. Screaming things I'm sure sound like meaningless jargon but are really al the anger I've ever had in my bones. I'm drawing blood and my eyes are no longer able to see her bloodied face. James pulls me away and slams me into the wall, he punches me a few times before I fall down. He goes to Savannah's side to see if she ok. I get up and throw myself on top of her and start punching again just as Matt runs down the stairs and pulls me off and this time slams me into the floor. He steps on my head and I can no longer hear anything but a ringing in my ears. He stomps on my head again and I hear my skull crack and see red. I lay there unable to move as he spits on me and stomps one more time. A sharp pain stabs me quickly but goes away just as soon as it came.

I open my eyes only to see darkness. It smells of rotten flesh and burnt hair. I get up to try and see something, anything, just as the darkness turns into a room. It looks like a gruesome horror movie and I look away until I realize it's me. I back away but it follows me. It plays out the scene that I had just somehow escaped. But my body is right there. I see it. "What's going on?.." I mumble. I stay there watching until suddenly I hear talking, "Matt! Stop!" I see James grab Matt and move him away. James looks at me on the floor and then to Savannah then throws up. Brittany is crying in the corner and screams "You killed her! Oh my god! Oh my god, oh my god.." Savannah gets up and stares at the lifeless me and it goes black again. "What going on?!" I scream into the darkness. Suddenly I see a small red-orange light flickering in the distance. Seeing as its the only way to go I start walking. Little did I know I was walking straight into the pit of hell.
