When the wind blows

Chapter 1 - Knocking on the devils door

Aslan Myers

The girls didn't wake up in darkness nor thick cemented four walls. But in cages.

My eyes blinked awake — I could feel the crust in them — my vision was blurry and I couldn't make out a thing in sight. Siting up on my elbows I could feel the thin cushion underneath me. The memories of yesterday and what happened were vague but there in bits and pieces.

However, I did remember being taken and I remembered the sight of Leia and Ti before I blacked out. Scrambling up in a hurry after realizing, my eyes finally could see clearly and what they saw made me want to scream, cry, all the above.

Leia and Ti sat in the same cage as I but were stripped of their clothing, only wearing a bra and panties. They were crouched in a corner of their own, crying into their knees.

Looking around me, I found their were many cages with girls in them like animals. Their were also guards walking around with large guns and covered faces.

I scrambled quietly toward them and touched Ti's knee making her jump in fright. Her head popped up in horror with wide eyes, but what caught my attention was the large bruise forming on her face and then many on her arms.

I hurriedly went over to Leia hearing her crying and forced her face up. She also had a bruise on her  check and a large hand marked bruise forming in her neck.

I could feel my body with no clothes by how cold it was but my blood ran colder. 

Someone had hurt them.

"Hey no touching. Back the fuck up in a corner." One of the guards came up and yelled at me.

I jumped and scrambled back in surprise but I regained my composure and stood up. This may be the stupidest, dumbest thing I ever done, but I also know that Ti needs her pills and I know it past her need for them.

Like they would care one bit, but wouldn't it be logical

"W-We— she needs her pills." I stated, walking to the front of the cage.

"I could care less, get in a corner before you face the same fate as your friend."

You know what I'll be shot before I get her anything.

I thought. I slowly sat down in the far right corner, though fuming.

The time went by fast but in our minds it was going slow. There was nothing but the sound of the guards combat boots stomping on the grounds. When forever felt like eternity the first sound emerged louder than any other.

The sound of a door opening and closing came like an alarm because the guards stopped moving and stood at attention and the only sound was shoes walking at a steady pace. Looking from where the shoes could be heard getting closer and closer, I watched as a mature man clad in a all black expensive suit and hints of grey hair strutted in.

With his hand he point at the first cage and the Guards nodded. Six guards went and opened the six cages.

"Get out." They stated.

Girls came out of the cages cautiously and weeping in tears. The guards lined them up in a line as the man in the suit looked at each of them.

"Head down." They commanded.

The man in the suit stared at them timidly then started to go to each of them individually. "House. Auction. House. Warehouse. Warehouse. Kill. House. Auction. Kill. Warehouse. Warehouse..."

Everyone gasped in horror as the man commanded the fates of the women. Ti and Leia trembled in fear as the process went faster and faster.

House.

Warehouse.

Kill.

Auction.

I noticed that most of the girls that were auctioned looked quite young in age. Looking no less than sixteen, but no more than eighteen. So I could only guess virgins went to the auction.

That would mean they checked everyone.

The men went more and more down the rows until they got to our row and I could visibly see Ti start to panic. Her body shook and she could barely breath.

A guard came and unlocked their cage instructing them to get out. As they did so I held Ti's hand, she was gonna pass out. She was under godly levels of anxiety, stress, and fear and she couldn't take them all.

The man started at the bottom of the row commanding the girls their fates. "Warehouse. Warehouse. Kill. Kill. Kill. Auction. Warehouse..."

When the man got to Leia he took a short look at her from head to toe. "House."

He moved on down to Ti and I squeezed her hand tight. The man took extremely longer with her and eventually she did in fact pass out. I grabbed her just before she could hit the floor, holding her steady in my hands.

"What's wrong with her." The man's cold and deep voice asked.

"I Don't know sir, she was just fine—"

"She needs her pills. She has anxiety really bad and she hasn't had her pills from the duration we've been captive here." The last part I was utterly snappy about.

No matter how much fear I had inside I couldn't let it seep out, for Leia and Ti, and for me. Looking up at the man I find that his eyes were already fixated on me. His steel grey eyes looked at me harshly, they looked cold like ice.

"Take her to the ward and she's to be put in the house."

With much difficulty they picked her up and carried her away from me. The other guard grabbed me and tugged me up, making me face the incredibly tall man. We looked at each, both full of hatred, before a menacing smirk pulled on his face.

"House."

With that he walked away and left us with the many guards. When he stepped foot out of the door, the guards began to split us up. Five guards carried and commanded each group, shackling us by our hands and feet then ushering us into the largely built vans.

In the van Leia and I sat by each other while we didn't see Ti anywhere which made me begin to worry. Leia had her head laid on my shoulder as the bus rode into the unknown.

My mind wouldn't stop running though. These people were mobsters or gangsters, some form of criminals and they've taken us captive. What will happen to us?

Usually people like them rape and kill us when their through or sell us or out organs on the black market. Will that happen? Will they beat us into submission, rape us for their own pleasure, then dispose of us because we don't matter in their world.

A silent tear slid down my face, coming to terms with this reality.

An attitude would only get me beaten and killed. So there was little else to do, but accept. There's only a 30% chance the police will find us, hell there's still a wall of missing people still hanging on a billboard in Walmart.

I sat quietly staring off into space for the remainder of the ride, silently crying to no use. The girls around me all looked the same beaten and bruised. Exhausted and tainted. Lifeless and hopeless.

When the bus stopped, you could hear the men get out and their boots hit the ground as they rounded the van to the back. The doors were soon pulled forcefully open and a man carrying the large gun they all held jumped into the van and grabbed the front center of the chain that connected us all together yanking it harshly making us all scoot and get up.

He pulled us out of the van, our bare feet meeting the hot pavement. We all squinted our eyes as the new light met them. When my eyes could properly see, they widen at the place in front of us.

Standing three stores and acres upon acres wide was the largest mansion anyone has ever seen in their whole existence.

"Welcome to hell girls." One of the guards joked.

We were knocking on the devils door.
