Audrey
I turned my head to look over my shoulder and swallowed hard. I felt like a cartoon character.. I stared straight into the face of one of the most ugly men that surely have ever existed. Have people in this place ever heard of dental care, or dentures at least. I wrinkled my nose. Gods he stunk too.. I stepped away from him, shaking his hand off my shoulder. I shot a glare at the man who just looked at me.. Creepily..
"What is such a pretty thing doing here alone in the desert..?" He asked with this.. Sickening tone in his voice. It made me feel nauseous. "Not here to entertain you, that's for sure.." I grumbled softly. He laughed at me before reaching his filthy hands out to me. He had me pinned really. The only way I could get away from him was into the cave. And this guy may have looked dumber than the backside of a donkey.. But he knew it too..
"Nowhere to go, eh girly?" He said with a nasty grin on his face. I frowned, taking one slow backwards step into the cave. He was armed.. I was not.. I had to steal his gun somehow. I wasn't gonna pull on him what I pulled on Jack though.. I couldn't bear being close to this filthy mutt..I took another, silent step back. Or well.. I didn't really calculate my actions here so I didn't know I had reached the end and stood with my back against the wall. But the wall moved. And the wall had arms. And the wall used his hand to cover my mouth when I tried to scream when I felt it's arms wrap around me. The wall was a man. A very big, scary looking man. This is it. I'm going to die.
I did the first thing that came to mind and kicked the guy in the shins, and bit his hand. He didn't even fucking flinch.. I just needed to get away from the bastard. I was lifted from the ground, and you know, I'm small.. But not that fucking small dammit! So I just started to trash around in this guy's grip, kicking, and twisting my body.
"Well.. Well.. Well.. What do we have 'ere..?" A low, kinda hot sounding? Voice said. Now when I say hot.. The new person with the damn voice appeared in my view and GODDAMN.. If fine as hell needed a definition, it was this guy.. Until he smiled.. Yuck.. People here REALLY never heard of dental care here.. I mean.. If he got a pair of dentures, I'd date him.. I shook the thought from my head when he stepped closer.The guy who was holding me moved his hand away from my mouth and I spat on the ground, right in front of the rotten tooth hot guy. He opened his mouth to speak, right at the moment I did. "Ew.. Just ew.. Have you ever, just once in your life, washed your hands?" I said, looking up at the guy who had his arm around me. The big guy glared daggers at me and I looked back at the rotten tooth guy, who just stared at me, confused.
"Lil' girl, is that what you're worried about? Hygiëne?" He asked, caught off guard for a moment. "Well yes. I don't want to catch rabies." I hissed. That wasn't taken all too well because I received a slap in my face. A hard one.. Man that burned.. But I wasn't gonna give that asshole the satisfaction of seeing me in pain, so I raised my head while I looked at him. "Is that all you got, honey?" I spat and he started to grin.
"Let's ask our feller Jack here, if that's all i gots, girly." He said, his grin becoming wider, and sickening. "Oh Jackie." Rotten tooth guy said melodically as he walked over to Jack. I followed him with my eyes until he stood nearby MY goddamn man.. Jack sat on his knees on the ground, with his hands bound behind his back.. He looked like shit.. And barely conscious.. I wasn't gone that long.. How..
I guess rotten caught me staring because he snapped his fingers to me. I looked back at him, blinking a little before swallowing. "Do you know this man, girly?" He asked as he grabbed Jack by his hair and pulled his head up. Oh christ.. it's way worse than i thought.. I bet he's broken at least a few bones. I clicked my tongue before shaking my head. "Never seen him before, Sir." I said, suddenly polite.
The man cocked a brow, staring at me, before looking down at Jack. He huffed before letting go of Jack's hair and honestly I felt bad for lying.. But I had read somewhere that pretending you don't know someone, often saves the lives of most people.. I guess.. It was a very old article.. I don't remember it well..
