MY EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER! I finished Tuesday!

ALINA'S POV

I don't answer the man as I doubt he would actually listen to me if I said no.

It's not like I can ask "can you just let me go and take me home please? I don't want round 2"

"Do you want to play a game?" He asks me.

I glare at him in anger continuing to stay silent

"I'll take that as a yes, then" he tells me after a moment of my silence.

He takes a step closer and I clench my hands together to try and stop myself from shaking out of fear in front of him.

"The rules are simple. If you answer my questions then I won't hurt you. Easy to understand, yes?" The man continuous with an evident Russian accent.

What have I ever done to these people to deserve this? There's nothing I can think of.

"What exactly do you think, me, a 14 year old would know that you don't?" I ask him seriously.

"Considering you live with them, I'd assume a lot more than what we know"

"Well I hate to burst your bubble but I haven't been living with them for that long, because you took me away from them as a child, remember? So maybe it's just easier if you let me g-"

SMACK

My eyes grow wide as tears erupt in my eyes from the sharp sting of the punch my face just received.

Ok, I've most definitely been proven right . They won't be letting me go easily.

"Shut up and stop being snarky. It won't get you far in here" the man tells me as he cackles.

My face begs for something to try and soothe the pain but my hands are still stuck behind my back.

I'm completely defenceless

I've tried really hard to get out of them but all it's caused is more pain as the metal cuts deeper into me.

If these people don't kill me I'm scared I'll die from an infection.

I don't even know how long I've been here, but I do know that my body is starting to feel weak.

I've gotten used to eating quite a lot every day and I can't handle hunger like I used to.

"Are you even listening to me you brat?" The man asks me as he kicks me in the side.

Now that definitely got my attention.

I'm listening now.

"Now I don't want to hurt you, but I need answers" he tells me.

That's the biggest lie of the century.

"First, I need you to tell me everything you know about the Russian mafia"

"I know nothing, I swear!" I tell him honestly.

He takes a step closer in response and my mouth opens automatically out of fear.

"All I know is that you guys and my family are enemies because you're both fighting for the top spot in the mafia hierarchy. You guys are the ones that took me as a child. That's all I know, I promise you!" I tell him again, tears making their way to my eyes.
