Locked Away

TW ABUSE AND RAPE

It's now two weeks later and Meredith is still missing, making it a total of two and a half weeks she has been kidnapped for. Meredith has been keeping track of how long she has been missing for. She wants someone to rescue her from the misery that she's in.

All of a sudden she hears the basement door open and she quickly hides in the corner of the room. Finn turned on the lights when he opened the door making the room much brighter. Only he has access to the light switch so when he doesn't turn the lights on it is pitch black for Meredith. There are no windows in the room so no natural light either. Meredith's eyes will have to adjust if she ever gets rescued.

When Finn turned the lights on, Meredith's eyes needed time to adjust to the light. She had to squint for a few minutes because the room was too bright for her because she has been used to being in total darkness.

It's so bright in here. It hurts my eyes.

Meredith is freezing cold and doesn't have anything to cover herself to warm herself up. She's terrified to ask for a blanket but needs to warm her body up somehow.

It's so cold in here. I want to ask for a blanket but he says I'm not allowed to talk. I don't know what to do. I'm literally so freezing cold that it hurts. I wonder if he made this room colder than the others.

"Girl! If you want food you better come here to get it!" Finn yells. "If you don't come here I won't give you the food, I'll just take it back upstairs and eat it myself. You're lucky I even brought you food today."

Whenever Finn brings her her one meal of the day, if he even remembers, he never brings her any utensils. He says she doesn't deserve them. She has to eat with her hands. He said she doesn't deserve utensils because she is a worthless human being. He makes sure to remind her of that at every opportunity.

Meredith slowly gets up and cautiously makes her way over to him. Her whole body is in pain from his daily beatings so it takes her longer to reach him. She is scared to get too close to him because she's scared he'll beat her up more. He hurts her so often. Every single day he comes downstairs either to hurt her some more, rape her, or both. A lot of the time it ends up being both.

"You look like you're in pain or something. Wonder why that could be?" He smirks. "Your eye looks like you got beat up. I don't know how that could possibly happen." He laughs.

"C-could I h-have a blanket please? I'm so cold." Meredith whispers.

Finn starts laughing. "You actually think I'm going to give you a blanket? Think again! You don't deserve a blanket. You can stay cold. I could care less. Also, what did I tell you about talking without permission?! That is not allowed!" He grabs her arm and yanks it the other way. She screams out in pain.

She is sobbing because of the new pain in her body. She falls to the ground holding her arm to her body when he releases her arm from his tight grip. "Oh that looks broken, better get to a doctor. Oh wait you're not going anywhere!" He starts kicking her body making her howl in pain.

I want to die. I want to be out of this misery.

He continues yelling at her. "You are not worthy of anything nice! Get that through your head! You are not allowed to shower either! Your happy and nice life you had previously is now gone forever! Nothing nice will ever belong to you ever again! You are such a worthless human being. No one ever loved you. No one ever will. No one will ever care about your worthless life." He smiles, enjoying breaking her spirits. He sees her crying harder and sees that he's succeeding. As he says each comment he gives her another hard kick.

Meredith's whole body is so badly bruised and broken. Her ribs hurt so badly. She assumes they are broken. Her arm is now broken from him twisting it the other way.

I don't like it here. I want to go home. Why can't they find me already???

After a few more kicks to Meredith's stomach he leaves the room. He turns the light off as he leaves, leaving her in total darkness.  "Bye Meredith. Don't miss me too much. See you next time." He leaves the room and closes and locks the door.

Because of always being in total darkness and where she is at, Meredith is now scared of the dark. Because of the lack of sunshine and even light from the room, Meredith's skin has turned pale.

It's so dark. I need light. I don't like this. Anyone could attack me at any point and I wouldn't see them coming.

Because Meredith's sobs are so loud and non stop, she soon cries herself to sleep. She dreams of being back home with her friends. She hopes one day it will actually happen. He has broken her spirits so much by repeatedly telling her no one is looking for her and that she will always be his that she doubts she will ever be free from him.

I hope you liked!
