Underground

Chapter 50

Xavier POV

"We're here," Isaac said.

The driver stopped the car and I ran out of the car, I slammed the door open and saw Zara coming downstairs.

"Where is she?" I asked, walking to her.

"Before I tell you where she is I need to warn you," she said.

What is she talking about?

"Warn me about what," I asked.

"She was hurt and it's bad," she said and his eyes started to get watery.

"Where is Emery?" I hear Elijah ask from behind me.

Zara looks at me with tears coming down her face then back and Elijah.

"In Xavier's room," she said.

I ran past her going upstairs and walked into my room. Emery was sitting down in sweats and was covering her upper body with a towel. I couldn't see her face because she was looking down. Grace walked out of the restroom with a first aid kit. She stopped once she realized I'm here and gave me a weak smile.

"Hey, Emery," I said, walking to her and squatting in front of her.

Emery looks up and her eyes are red and her skin is pale. I looked at her lips and they were dried and bleeding. I was about to say something but I heard Zara and their walk-in.

"We have to clean her back up," Zara said walking over to Emery.

"What do you mean clean her back," I asked standing up.

Zara looked down at Emery then Grace then back to me.

"Look at her back," Zara said.

I turned back to Emery and looked over her shoulder, she was bleeding. Her whole back was red and bleeding. I wanted to yell but I couldn't, she didn't need that. Once I find Blake it's over, and I'm going to for sure make him suffer. After today Emery is not leaving my side, she will probably be stubborn but her safety is my main priority and she's my main priority.

"They whipped her," Grace said.

I looked at Grace then squat back down, I placed my hands on her knees and rubbed her knees.

"They're going to clean you now, ok," I said.

She didn't say anything but nod her head yes. I stood back on my feet turning around to leave but Zara stopped me.

"You have to stay and help, and the guys do," she said.

"Why," I asked.

"You guys have to hold her down when we clean her. It's going to hurt her and she's going to be moving" Zara said.

I didn't even Think about that, they're going to be using alcohol to clean her, and that stuff burns. I don't even think I can sit here and watch them clean her while she cries and screams and I can't do anything but hold her. Why did they have to take her and hurt her, why couldn't they took me and torture me and not her? She didn't deserve this.

"Ok," I said.

"Xavier holds Emery in your lap, Elijah and Isaac hold her arms," Grace said.

"Is it ok if I pick you up?" I asked Emery.

She nods her head yes. I picked her up from her thighs and sat down. She was now straddling me, the guy's seat next to me, and holding on to her arms. I moved my face to the side of her face and whispered.

"This is going to hurt, but I'm right here ok" and kissed her cheek.

I looked at Grace and Zara, they were putting gloves on and setting up everything on a metal table. I looked at Isaac on my right and I could tell he wanted me to cry as much as I did, he looked at me and gave me a weak smile like Grace did.

Why did they have to wipe Emery?. Did they do this to send a message or something?. Or did they do this just to get to me?. Were they asking her questions that she didn't know the answers to?. I know for a fact they weren't feeding her, she feels thinner than she did. She looks so broken and unhealthy, all because of me.
