A hard blow to my face is what wakes me up. "Wake up brat." A too-familiar voice is the first thing I hear. When I look up I see Henry looking down at me, my body instantly goes into flight mode, tugging at my arms only to be restrained. Unable to move them.
"Easy on your arms child." A new voice beckons from the corner of the dark empty room. "Before you ask, I'm the one and only, Henry's father." An aged man with ginger hair appears from the shadows as I continue struggling, and tugging at my arms.
"Oh, don't worry you're not alone." My eyes widen as a bright white light shows the side of the room across from me revealing Xavier, Sam, Theo, Lidia, and Freya tied up with red puffy rashes where the ropes gripped at their skin. Grey light smoke fumes off of their bodies.
We were all helpless.
"Davina..." Xavier's weak eyes and voice land on me. Oh how much I wanted these ropes off of me so I could get u from this cold concrete floor, run towards him, and wrap my arms around him. Not only to him but to the rest of my family in the same pain as him.
"Oh heavens, forgive me for such a rude greeting." Henry's father booms confidently into the room looking at us. "I'm sure yall are Starving." I let out a sharp, weak gasp as henry shoves a woman onto the floor. I look up at my family's reaction to this.
Xavier shuts his eyes weakly, Theo grunts and lets his head down, Freya whimpers as she looks at the body longingly, Sam just stares, and Lidia grunts and tries to lunge at the body but only ends up earning a sting at the arms by the ropes. Something was obviously on the ropes that were toxic to them.
As much as I tried to keep looking at them, my eyes, smell, and..... hunger snap to the woman.
Hunger?....
Why the hell am I suddenly drawn to the thought of the woman's blood on my mouth? The warm liquids taste as it flows down my throat. "Especially you sweetie...." Henry's dad looks at me. This causes everyone to stop their lust for the woman and look at me in utter confusion.
"Calvin stop torturing her. Give her the woman." A woman's voice in the shadow chuckles. Calvin is now registered in my brain. Calvin is his name.
"Alright, alright." Calvin then proceeds to pick the woman up by the arm and toss her onto my lap. Why. Am. I. SO.
Hungry.
"What the hell are you doing Calvin." Xavier's voice becomes louder as his concern grows with suspicion. Calvin looks at him and chuckles. What the fuck is so funny to the ragidy old piece of shit.
"Have you not noticed the lovely pool of dried-up blood on her neck?" My mind snaps back to the last thing I remember before waking up.
