The Undoing

Douliophobia

A month later and I was still running, it had become normal by now. I had swung my backpack over my shoulder and opened the window to the fire escape when I heard the pounding footsteps and door rattling. They got here faster than I expected and I swung one leg out and looked around, sad I had to leave so soon. It was a nice apartment and my roommate wasn't too hard on the eyes. Oh well, Monty would have to find a new roommate.

I pulled myself onto the fire escape then made my way down the stairs. Whomever was at the door had busted in and the one man I didn't want to see, Nickolas, popped his head out the window and saw me starting up my, um, "borrowed," motorcycle and zooming away. I glanced back for a second to see his reaction. Nickolas was clearly livid that I got away yet again and his eyes flashed bright red before going back to normal. I was turning when something came out of nowhere and knocked me off the bike and into the road. Before I could get up Nickolas had one of his gorillas pick me up and inject a sleeping drug. I tried to fight the oncoming darkness but all too soon it consumed me.

When I woke up I already knew where I was and what was going to happen to me. My second best friend, cough cough enemy, Vlad, walked in with an evil smirk and pulled me up by my arm so I was standing. Without even flinching I glared at him, and a question popped into the back of my mind. Why doesn't he have any weapons? He pushed me towards a basin and I figured out what was going to happen over the next few hours. My body froze and Vlad shoved me so I was now kneeling in front of the tub. I peered in and only saw dark water. He grabbed me by the back of my head and dunked it under the frigid water, holding me under until I was gasping for air. Vlad pulled me out only long enough to take a breath before plunging me back in. This process continued for who knows how long, with less time for air and more time underwater. When I was almost passed out he finally stopped.

"Have we learned our lesson yet, pet? Do you still want to run away?" Vlad sneered in my face before dropping me onto the concrete floor. I curled up into a ball in attempt to warm up and tried to wring out any water in my hair still. Vlad scoffed at me and started to walk away before pausing at the door,

"You know where everything is, be ready for your auction in two hours." he walked out and left the door open. I found it sad that I knew how to get around this place and Vlad knew I wouldn't try to run. After a few minutes of shivering I stood up and made my way to the showers. There were plenty of girls in there I knew and they all gave me sad looks, seeing that I had been caught again. I didn't want to talk to anybody so I went to the corner shower that no one ever used. This shower was like my safe haven when I was captured and the hot water rained down on me as I did the needful. The water started to get cold and I finished quickly, wrapping a towel around me and headed to the prep room. I'd been around for so long I have my own closet filled to the limit with dresses, skirts, boob tubes, slutty clothing and all that jazz. I pulled out a strapless dress with a silver bodice and the skirt was sparkly purple tulle that went down to just above my knees. My shoes were black suede wedges, to complete the outfit I wore black fishnets and all my jewelry. I slipped on my shoes and took one last glance in the full length mirror before wobbling down to the green room.
