I'm Here

chapter 23

The next morning I woke up before Aaron. My stomach wasn't in as much pain. I stood slowly and walked down the stairs. I went to the kitchen and felt something go over my mouth. I struggled but was soon asleep.
~~~~~~~~
I woke up. My hands and feet tied. My mouth was taped shut and I was in a small space. I was moving. It was a dark area. I put my legs up and automatically hit something. Ouch. I went to the sides and hit something both ways. Confinement. My eyes were covered. I couldn't see anything. Not good. I must be in the trunk of a car. A moving vehicle. I was extremely scared now. It was hot and humid inside. I was sweating, and being scared was not helping. I fought the ropes, but they wouldn't break. Nothing was happening.
Where am I?
Who took me?
I think I have a clear thought on who took me. I'm not a hundred percent sure but I'm close to it. They drove and drove. It felt like hours passed. My phone was not with me. Perfect. Finally the car stopped. I was rocked around in the back for a few minutes. It opened. A cold breeze entered and made my body shudder. Hard hands wrapped around my waist. I took in a deep breath and held it. The pain in my stomach was back. I felt something hard under my feet and heard the rattle of chains. Each wrist had a chain put on it. My arms were lifted above my head. It was cold. Becoming winter. The wind was brutal. It wouldn't stop blowing. My feet were touching the ground: just barely though. I was on my tip toes. The blind fold came off my eyes and I saw Aarons dad. He was there with another man. Around his age. Taller, but skinnier. I looked around.
"Where am I?" I asked.
They laughed and shook their heads.
"Woods," they smiled.
My heart started to race. I looked at where I was hanging. It was like a chain linked fence. Metal for sure. It was somewhat light out. The trees made it seem darker than what it actually is. I saw a hose, a bucket, an electrical device with a few wires and a whip. I already knew what was going to happen. Torture, and pain. That gets served on a silver plater to me. Soon enough they walked over to me. One had a whip and the other had wires and some box. They taped my mouth shut again and smiled. One man hit me with the whip and the other started shocking me. Tears fell down my face. I cringed and that hurt my stomach. This went on for what felt like forever. I had cuts, bruises, sores, and blood all over. Next Aarons dad walked over to the hose. The wind was still blowing and the temperature was dropping. He turned the water on and sprayed it all over my body. I squeezed my eyes shut and screamed. I tried to at least. About ten minutes later he stopped and walked over to me.
"we'll see you in the afterlife," he smiled, "you have a good rest of your life."
Both men walked away. I was shaking. No, I was freezing. Literally. Before the night was over I would be dead. I tried to keep myself awake but that didn't happen. I dozed off.
