Chapter 25~ Amelia

"You worthless child," my father spat as he stood up from his chair, "How could you go out without my knowing and with a boy?" he is so mad I can see his eyes turning red, he's so scary, "I'm sorry," I said in a low voice lowering my head.
"That's it, you want to whore around, be a little slut that you are? Fine, come with me," I looked at my father with fear, scared of what he will do to me. Heavy tears fell from my eyes, his tight grip on my wrist as he dragged me out of his office.
"Stop crying," he ordered walking faster. I am only 7 so he is practically dragging me I'm not even touching the ground cause he's too tall.
Oh, no I know this staircase.
The one and the only way to the cell.
"Please, please, papa, I don't want to, I'll behave, I promise," I screamed and pleaded with him, "That's too late," he said harshly as the guards opened the double doors, please, I could see the men in their cells through blurry eyes, their all looking at me with pity and some with anger and hunger.
He opened my cage and threw me on the cold rough floor, I ran to him but he closed the door like the ones they have in jail, "Papa, please," but he didn't turn around he just kept walking into the dark abyss of the large room full of cells with men inside them include me.
He's supposed to be my father.
Are all fathers like this?
I fell on the floor holding on to the cold, vertical bars, I cried, I let out all the tears, "Little child, please don't cry," a voice said from next to me, I turned my head and there was a man in the cell next to mine.
He is filthy and has scars and drawing on his skin everywhere, he's scary looking, I backed away from the man with fear, "Please don't be scared, I won't hurt you," he said and gave me a small smile, I just blinked at him curling up in a ball in the corner.
"I'm Alexis," he introduced. I didn't speak, he has a weird accent, "You speak, wired," I told him and he chuckled, "I'm from Russia," he said, "Russia?" I asked and he nodded, "What's that?" I asked, "It's my home country, there is snow and it's very cold but can be warm on some days," he said in his weird accent.
"Snow?" I asked and he nodded with a smile, "Have you ever seen snow?" he asked and I shook my head, "Oh, it's lovely, it's soft and white and cold," he described, "Do you mind me asking how old you are?" he asked.
I crawled out of my corner and towards him, still a little far away, "I'm 7," I said and there seemed to be pity in his blue eyes, "Are you his daughter?" he asked and I hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"He really shouldn't do this to his own flesh and blood, what a cold man," he said the last part more to himself.
Alexis seems nice, I like Alexis.
Alexis and I talked and he thought me stuff I didn't know and some Russian words, but then the double steel doors opened with a loud bang, light has shown through and two-man with guns came in.
Are they the guards that father sent to free me?
But they didn't come for me instead they opened another door the one next to Alexis. They grabbed the red-headed man that was inside and threw him in front of me, "This is your punishment from your father," one of them said as the other one grabbed the man and punched him in his face.
I yelped, he pushed the weak man and grabbed his bruised arm, I watched in horror as the man snapped the red head's hand with a loud snape followed by the men's horrible scream, I felt tears fall on my face again, "No, please," I pleaded with the men dressed in a blue uniform.
"Please, stop," I cried, with big fat tears, I can taste the salt on my lips, another snape and another.
Alexis told me to close my eyes but I couldn't, I couldn't take my eyes away from the bloodied man on the floor, unconscious.
I have been sent to the cell since I was 4 but nothing like this ever happened. The man next to me grabbed his gun and the other man stepped back wiping his bloodied knuckles as the man with the gun held the gun to the men's head which now has his weak back towards me.
A gasp left my mouth "Please," I screamed, but the man looked at me and smirked before pulling the trigger, blood splattered everywhere including my face and my dress, I screamed and cried till I couldn't hear my voice anymore but just one deep voice saying:
"Lia, Lia, wake up."
"Amelia, please," the voice yelled.
