Locked in chains

Chapter 19

11:45 am

The guys left at 9:00 am this morning, it's my time to shine. I know I must do it, there's no other choice. David is being held in the basement, where no one can see or hear anything. I've repeated the plan in my head for two hours, making sure everything is right. I don't want him to escape or turn the situation against me. I reviewed it thoroughly and I can make it happen. I must not let my emotions take over and I must remain focused. I can do it. I take a deep breath before heading towards the basement door, my hand on the handle, I feel the stress and the anger rising. This mix of emotions only increases as I open the door. I can't go back now, my decision is made, and I must stick to it. I know that David's death can cause a lot of trouble for the Reds, but letting him go would be a bigger mistake. If we let him go, he will be back. I know it. I can't let that happen, never again. I start going down the stairs, one step at a time, to get to his cell. My heart's pounding inside of me, all the things he has done to me are playing over and over in my mind. The time he raised his hand on me, raped me, and when he told me he had killed my parents. I want him to suffer as much as I have suffered. He deserves worse.

I'm almost at his cell, I have a few more steps to take and I'll be facing him. The role has changed now, I'm not the little girl in the bunker anymore. That weak, scared and useless girl. I hated that girl. She couldn't fight him off or escape on her own. That girl was about to die. He would have killed her.

I see him in the corner, curled up and almost naked. He's only wearing shorts and he's trying, as best as he can, to warm himself up with his hands but they are chained and they're probably as cold as him. He has lost a lot of weight and is covered in bruises, and judging by their appearance, they look recent.

"Muñeca. You're finally here, I've been waiting for you." He says.

Hearing his voice after a few days apart takes me back to the room where he kept me. It's him who's locked up and under my control. He's now the scared little girl in the bunker.

"Oh, David. How do you like your new home? Comfortable don't you think?"

"I've seen worse. " He says dryly.

"You haven't seen anything yet, what's coming, I can promise you, you've never experienced it before. "

He looks into my eyes, analyzing me as if he was searching for answers to his questions. I won't lower my eyes from his gaze and move closer to his cell.

"I thought you had a big mouth David, I'm a little disappointed," I say.

He doesn't take long to spit on the ground to show his displeasure. It's less fun when the attacker suddenly becomes the victim. The keys to the cell are hanging not far from here, I decide to get them and finally open the door that separates us. I don't want to play cat and mouse here. While opening the cell's door, I put my hand on the gun that I have in my jeans, to feel protected in a way. The chains prevent him from moving towards me and keep him near the wall but a second safety never hurts.

"How do you like the chains? I thought you would like them since they're similar to the ones you had." I say.

"Fuck off, you disgusting slut. " He spits.

"He speaks! I thought you had lost your tongue, not that it would have bothered me. "

" Do you think you scare me, muñeca? "

"Yet you should be afraid, I have your life in my hands, it's my turn to decide whether you live or die. Isn't it fun?"

"I won't be afraid of a 20-year-old girl," he says, laughing.

I take out my gun and point it in his direction. I try to keep my hands still, but unfortunately, they're shaking like crazy.

"If you kill me, it will be war between our two clans. Is that what you want? " David says.
