BREAKING FREE

CLAYTON

 

     "Take her back to her cell!" I heard his voice and felt someone walking towards me on the bed. I was lifted and taken back to the cell and laid on the bare cold floor before a material was used to cover me. There was something about the guy who lifted me from the room, his breath were shaking same as his hands. I looked up at him and realized he was just like me, I teenager.
    "Help me" I whispered and he narrowed his eyes to me. "Please" I begged and tears flowed from my eyes, I was pained so much.
    "I...I.. can't.." he stammered
    I sat up with my little strength covering my naked body with the material. "Please..."
    "No one can help you!!" He shouted startling me. "It's useless so don't hope to ever be saved. Just do what he wants if you want to live at least longer".
    I watched him leave in hurried steps locking the cell. That couldn't be my fate, my life couldn't just end like that. I expected more and dreamed about more...it couldn't just go down or crash like that. I couldn't be his sex toy. More tears flowed down my eyes as I cover my face with my palms. "Please help me!!" I wailed standing and rushing to the cell, I yanked it severally banging as hard as I could.
    "Get me out of here someone help me!!" I screamed.
    The guy from earlier rushed to me. "Stop please" he begged but I wasn't planning on stopping, I increased the tone of my voice screaming for help when the monster stormed in making my lips seal automatically, he was my worst nightmare.
    He glared at the boy who looked like he'd die of a heart attack. "You couldn't stop her?" He asked and before the boy could say a word a blinding slap hit hard on his face making him stagger backwards before colliding with the hard ground.
    I gasped moving from the cell, did he survive the slap because I didn't think I would. He turned his glare to me and I just wanted the ground to open and swallow me up.
    "And you!!" He hurriedly took out his keys opening the cell fastly. "Why are you so loud!!" He shouted and so came his thunderous slap. Darkness covered me as my body met the hard ground. I passed out from then.
    A cold cloth on my head made my eyes open, it was him...the guy. He was the one with the cloth. I stood up immediately curling myself together and moving from him, I noticed I was already clothed and shot him an angry glare.
    "Hi, Clayton" he said all nervous.
    I didn't reply but looked away before my eyes settled on the fried egg with bread before me. My stomach rumbled and my mouth salivate but I resisted the urge to devour the food, beside I didn't know if it was poisoned.
    "No no no?" He spoke immediately using his hand to demonstrate in air. "Not poisoned" he said and brought the food closer eating both bread and egg. "See, not poisoned" he said and handled me the plate.
    I looked at the food calling on me as my breathing increased rapidly.... "Curse this!" I whispered and grabbed it devouring it like an animal. I didn't know how many days I had been there because I wasn't allowed to see the light outside, only a little lighted bulb was producing light to the cell.
    Once I was done he gave me a can of water which I gulped down without hesitation. I felt revived and happy, I was back to being me.
    "How...how do you feel?" He asked and I nodded, he smiled at this and came closer but I retreated. "I'm not..gonna..hurt you. I want to help you get.. away" he spoke as if leaning a script for a movie. His english looked like he was having a hard time speaking..I didn't care, I wanted to listen to the part where he'd help me escape.
    "You will help me escape?" I asked with all interest and he nodded.
    "Keyy" he said and put a hand in his pocket bringing out a key and a knife. My heart missed a beat on seeing the knife and as if noticing he spoke. "Not for you...to escape?, Kill..kill"
    "Kill?" I asked and followed his hand. He wanted me to kill the monster, How would I do that?.
    "Kill...kill" he kept repeating. He grabbed my hand standing and pulling me up before hiding both items in my clothing. "I'll wait outside".
    I gulped and walked out of the cell taking a step forward when the monster walked out of his room, he had a satisfactory smile on and nodded at the boy before grabbing my arm and pulling me along into his room shutting the door behind us.
