Road to recovery

Chapter 22

Ray's P.O.V (Trigger warning. This chapter will mention very graphic and detailed torture.)

Ray sat there frozen in fear at the sound of the gunshots. She was so zoned out she didn't notice the boys leave her or the new person that was slowly approaching her from behind. "Look at this. They left you all alone in a gun fight. I guess they really don't care what happens to you." The man said breaking Ray out of her frozen state. Ray knew who was behind her without even turning around, the cold rush of fear running down her spine told her all she needs to know. "What no kiss or hug hello." the man said as he slides into the chair across from her. The moment Ray looked in his cold black eyes that were, as deep and dark as an abyss, she felt a strong pain in her head as all her missing memories came rushing back. All the memories before she met this wicked man and every torturous moment after.  

Joe must have noticed the change in Ray's face and emotions." There is my girl, you finally remember all of are wonderful times together. " Joe said as he tried to reach out and caress Ray's face. Ray shoved her body away as best she could in the booth and slapped his hand away before he could touch her. "Don't touch me. You can't ever put your hands on me again." Ray said trying to get as far away as possible, but he is blocking her way out of the booth. The smile on Joe's face turned dark as he grabbed her hand and held it against the table. "I guess you were gone so long we have to teach you the rules again. So, remember this is what happens when you tell me no." Joe said as he used his free hand to grab a knife from his back pocket and stabbed to through Ray's hand.

Ray let out an ear-splitting scream of pain as her hand was no pierced to the table. Ray hoped that someone would hear her scream or that the boys would come back, but when all that could be heard outside was gunfire, she knew she was all alone with this monster. At that moment Ray had a choice to make fight and have a fifty-fifty chance of making it out of the restaurant alive or let the epitome of evil before her take her away again and Ray knew she would rather die right here before she ever was in his clutches again.

Ray grabbed the knife with her free hand and pulled it out throwing it at Joe hoping to buy her enough time to get away from him and the table. Ray got up so quick the table knocked over. Unfortunately, her aim wasn't great, and the knife completely missed him, and she only got a few steps away before Joe tackled her to the ground knocking over more chairs and tables. Ray tried her best to fight him off, but she was still weak and recovering and he was overall just stronger than her.  Joe had his hands around Ray's throat choking her out as she hit me as hard as she could trying to get him to let go. Ray felt herself becoming lightheaded and as a las effort she scratched at his face. He let go of her throat to get her hands away from his face and when she saw the red sticky substance on her fingers she started to laugh. This upset Joe even more as he grabbed the knife off the floor and shoved it into her stomach. Ray didn't scream this time she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of her. "I guess you never learn your lesson. It is fine though; we have the rest of our life's together to teach you to behave." Joe said as he leaned forward slamming his lips on hers, also causing the knife to shove further into her stomach.

Ray knew what was going to happen if she didn't stop him soon. She reached for anything on the floor around her and when she felt the broken chair leg, she grabbed it and slammed it into Joe's head. This left him dazed enough for her to push him off of her and get up. The blood loss made her dizzy and she just ran to the first door she saw. What Ray didn't know was that it was the basement door. In her rush and confusion Ray missed the first step and fell all the way down the stairs. She forced her body up and crawled all the way to the far corner of the basement. Ray hoped she had fought long enough for someone to realize she was missing, but she knew it was false hope. They didn't know she was missing for six months how would they notice after an hour. 

Ray heard the door open and knew this would be the end for her she wasn't going to make it out of this basement alive. Ray hoped Yuno and Randy wouldn't blame themselves and that April and Tommy would move on this time and not mourn her to long. She hoped Cg and Cb all would go on to prosper and have wonderful lives and hopefully think fondly of the good times with her. Ray knew her only regret at this moment before her presumed death was never telling Randy Bullett how much he meant to her, about how much she truly loved her Mundo her other half. Ray saw Joe above her with the knife in his hand and knew this was the end. She let the darkness start to take over hoping her last moments won't be too painful. The final thing Ray saw before the darkness took over was a flash of red.
