the red bunker. [h.s]

3.

THREE YEARS LATER.

Today marks the day that I am officially 17 and I can't, I physically can't anymore. I can't live this life anymore. I'm done. I don't deserve this. I never did.

My dads words keep repeating over and over in my head.

"you deserve this"

I will question why my dad did this to me until the day I die. I just don't get it. I went from his baby girl to the girl he raped and tortured. I don't get it, and I never think I will.

I just can't endure this pain anymore, I have scars that go on for a lifetime.

I have been tortured for nine years straight by different men, that changes a person.

"wake up, wake up"

I didn't even sleep, I haven't been able to sleep for more than 3 hours in the last 9 years. It's physically impossible. The nightmares always wake me.

I turn over to look where the voice is coming from, and it's Ember trying to "wake" me up.

"what? I'm up, "I say.

"we have to get out of this place"

THE NEXT DAY.

They just left with their next victim, i can't the victims because either they never come back, or they come back with a bit of their soul taken. Or at least that's what I call it. Going there and back for 9 years has taken my soul, and my sanity.

Ember's words last night changed everything, she had already come up with a plan. When she told me it was only going to be me and her I was taken back, because these girls don't deserve to be here. But she reassured me that once we are out, we will stop at nothing till all of these men are gone and dead, including my dad.

And when we do break out of this fucking godforsaken place we will live together, het our lives right, which at this point is physically impossible. Because I can't even close my eyes without going back to the Red Room. It fucking haunts me, and i know it'll haunt me until i'm six feet fucking under.

"Are you in? i want to do this tonight"

I still have yet to give her my answer, and I don't know why because 1 we are most likely going to get caught and die... but I have nothing to live for, none of us do. We were all ripped from the orphan, which is where kids go when they have no one.

"yes"

"YES?? for real?"

"yes i'll go... i have nothing to live for"

"you'll have plenty once we are out"

i'm trusting her, and literally putting my life in her hands.

MIDNIGHT

"Have you even got a plan?"

"yes yes, he should be coming"

"what? hu-"

the door suddenly opens, and it's a man. With no mask. I started to back up because I haven't seen a man in years... They never take their mask off. And when I mean never I mean never.

Ember grabs my arm "no it's ok, Otis is here to break us out"

I look at her like she's grown two fucking heads, because i think at this point she has.

"I'll explain everything, once we are out. I promise"

"why can't you tell me now??"

"because his friend hacked the cameras, and we only have-"

"We have about 3 minutes left precisely," Otis says.

"Come on, come on" she drags me.

And I flinch away, and she apologizes and lets go.

"alr i'll go"

"ok we have to hurry up, like now"

THIRTY MINUTES LATER

oh my fucking god-

we did it.. we broke out. it all seems so good to be true.

I haven't seen trees for a long time... I see this other man running to the car chanting

"we have to go"

So we all rush into the car.

"can someone please tell me what the fucking is going on??"

"for being in that hell hole for nine years, you sure have a mouth on you"

the "friend " said.

"I'm sorry for being a little confused."

"don't apologize, he's just being an ass" ember says.

"and with that, how do you even know him?"

"he basically was the man waiting in the room for me, when it was my turn last time. And he offered to get me out of here and obviously I accepted his offer but I was just as confused as you were so I asked him and he told me that they did this to his sister and he wants revenge to so he's breaking us out so we can kill the people who created this chose us, did this to us, and to break all the other innocent boys and girls out... oh and the last request for you was for you to be killed and he was willing to pay 1 million so you'd be dead by now..."

ok, i expected it to be crazy.. But not this fucking crazy.

"oh... is that why you chose me?"

"yes and he told me to choose someone who's tough, doesn't break, and has guts and nothing to lose..."

Now that makes me laugh.

I still believe that this isn't even real, and that I'm dreaming... But that can't possibly be true because I don't sleep nor do I dream about miracles like this.
