TAYA'S POV
FLASHBACK
7 YEARS AGO
I woke up in a dark damp room with my arms cuffed together. I blink my eyes a few time to help clear them of the fog that seems to be around me. I hear a whiney sound next to me. I look in the area the sound came from and see a blonde hair girl bound as well who seems to waking up.
Where the hell am I ? Why am I handcuffed? Who handcuffed me? Again where the FUCK am I?
The blonde hair girl now has her eyes fully opened and is starring at me. She clears her throat " Where am I?"
I shrug my shoulders, " No clue. I am Taya."
The blonde girl gives me a smirk " I am Pippy."
I give a small nod as I go to move my legs and try to move around. Once I get some feelings back in my legs I stand up and walk over to Pippy. Pippy keeps her head lowered to the ground.
I lower myself next to her " What is the last thing you remember?"
She takes a gulp of air " I was at the Underground with some friends waiting to watch my cousin fight. I had the urge to pee so I went to the bathroom. Right when I walked out of the bathroom something was put over my head and everything went dark. Next thing I know I am waking up in this room with you. What about you?"
"I was at the Underground as well but not to watch the fight. I was following up on some information. I was in the back alley when some asshole got the drop on me. Now I am here and fucking handcuffed."
I knew I should have verified my information before heading to the Underground. I had been coming to the Underground since I was 15. It was the start of my rebellious streak and learned who I really was. I was dark like everyone else there but I also had a since of rightness. I had dabbled a few time is the ring, tried a few drinks, flirted with a few guys, and always stayed away from the drugs. Well I stayed away from the hard drugs, weed ain't a hard drug and I only smoked it to help numb everything.
I always felt safe at the Underground, that is till now.
Who the hell got the drop on me?
I always know when some is behind me but not this time. Who would have taken two teenagers?
We sat in that room for about an hour until someone finally came in. The guy looked like a drug addicted dirty thug and how he was starring at us was creepy. The gleam in his eyes screamed of nasty perversion. He took a step closer to us. Pippy dug into myside as if trying to hide. I squared my shoulders " What do you want with us?"
The piece of shit smirked at me," Well I was going to have my way with you both before I handed you over to the Casetillo Mafia but the boss man said you two aint to be touch or given. He has taken an interest in you."
Sex traffickers!! The lowest people of the entire Underground. I growl at him, " You will die before you puts your hands on us!"
I hear a deep laugh coming from the entrance of the door and lock eyes with a man. Power oozes of the man standing in the doorway. Unlike the scum in front of me the man in the doorway seemed out of his element. He looked like he belonged in the upper class world and not in this dank ass room with us.
He took another step into the room," Manny leave the girls alone. Go see if the other are back with their catches. I will keep an eye on these two."
The scum now known as Manny nodded " You are the boss."
I watched Manny leave the room and close the door behind him leaving us in the room with so called boss. I pushed myself further in front of Pippy to keep her blocked from the man. He smiled at me, " Allow me to introduce myself.."
I cut him off " You are Thorne Masterson, nephew of Governor Masterson, owner of all the Underworld borthels and drug dens, and finally the left hand of the Laird."
He smiles, " It seems you have done your homework well so have I."
He lowers himself so that he is eye level with me "The girl that you are trying to hide behind you is Pippy Ann Rodgers, age 17, honor student, GPA 4.4, niece of a high placed member in the Clan. As for you, the information I could manage to find was your arrest record. There was nothing else. I wonder why that is."
I fight the urge to laugh. I am a ghost. Storm made sure to hide any important piece of information about me hidden. I shrug my shoulders and give him a smartass answer " Taya O'Duels, age 17, Virgo, an okay student, and a major pain in the ass."
He smile again " For an okay student you sure do know a lot about me."
I shrug again " Criminals interest me. Even if they are ugly."
Thorne stands back up, " Whatever you say. Go ahead and get comfortable girls you won't be going anywhere."
With that being said he leaves the room. Pippy comes from behind me " How did you know who he is?"
I look at her, " Like he said I do my homework. The Underground is like my playground I make sure to know everyone."
She gulps "That is badass but at the same time creepy."
I laugh," True. Try to get some rest. I will keep watch."
She gives me a puzzled look, " Why are you trying to protect me? Is it because of what he said about my family?"
I sigh shaking my head, "No Pippy, it is because I see a light in you that I have never seen in anyone. No one should have their light snuffed out."
She gives me a little smile, " You have a light as well Taya."
I smile back, "Yeah but your light is brighter. Get some rest Pipz, I got you."
She smiles one more time before laying her head down in my lap and closing her eyes.
