The Desire Within

Chapter 7

Dexinaiya had been in this isolated room for what she could only assume was two weeks. Her dad refused to give her anything but water. What a generous man.

Her dad wasn't the only one that came in this room though. Her dad would send other men to check up on her. The reason would either be he was too busy or he just didn't bother to come.

Dexinaiya didn't give a fuck who came though, she just wanted her fucking water. That's all she could think about as she was sleep deprived and hungry.

She couldn't sleep, not because of her uncle. No,The feeling that image used to give her is numb to her now. It used to make her cry in agony but now there is this fuzzy/blurry sensation everytime she remembers that image. She doesn't know when it happened ,but it gave her a sense of relief when she was able to get little rest. This was a mistake as she would be quickly awoken by two men who decided to beat the shit out of her. That is why she can't sleep. It's become a survival instinct.

Today was no different. Today she would sustain the same gruesome torture of waiting and listening, her body refusing to go to sleep.

Dexinaiya has been staring at the same spot on the wall where blood had been splattered . It wasn't her blood, which made Dex smile at her little victory. She managed to get an advantage in one of her beatings from the two men who came in regularly. She was able to knock him off his feet and climb on top of him. She continuously smashed his face with her tied hands until she was thrown off him. Dex couldn't contain her smile as she remembered the face he made.

"What are you smiling about?"

The threatening voice made Dex jump as she didn't realize her father walked in.

Dex slowly looked at him. She watched as his face contorted into one of disgust when he made eye contact with her. He walked towards her slowly and squat right in front of her.

" you stink"

That was all he said before grabbing her by the hair and dragging her out of the room. Her legs felt week and she started to lose her balance. She winced as her dad tightened his grip on her hair. She struggled to keep up all the way into what looked like a makeshift bathroom.

She was thrown into the tub unable to move with how weak she felt. She stared at her father as he turned the faucet on. Cold water started pouring out in huge amounts. Dex could feel the stinging feeling of the cold as it started to fill up around her body.

She glared at her father when he didn't shut it off. It was reaching her head fast and she started to panic. Making whimpered noises she tried to move but it was no use. With a final breathe her face was submerged.

Her eyes were glued shut as she felt and heard the cold water continue to rise. When she finally decided to open them  she could see her father looming over her. His blurry image was all she could see when she turned to look at her restraints. Dex was fine until she felt the need to breathe again. Her panic set in once again as she tried to grab onto something . Nothing she was able to grab helped her, everything was too slippery for her tied hands and legs. Bubbles started floating to the top of this continuous filled tub. She saw her father's figure once more as she closed her eyes. Was she really going to die from her father drowning her?yes. Yes she was. What could she do? She felt weak and no one was going to help her here.

Dexinaiya then felt a pair of rough hands force her up and the cold air of the room hit her face as she struggled to intake the oxygen. Water splurt out of her mouth as she was inhaling and exhaling faster than she could imagine. The coughing she started to do was hurting her throat but it was her bodies natural response.

The hands that were under her armpits stayed there for God knows how long. Her breathing finally steadied as she refused to look at her dad. He was looking at her struggling form with a smile.

" Dexinaiya this is a warning, I need you to understand that even though your mother and I went through the trouble of raising you doesn't mean I'm afraid of losing you. I can easily replace you. Now I want you dressed and cleaned for another discussion in a different place than this filthy bathroom. "

Dex listened to her father's words closely. She didn't think they were true  because everything he did up until now was because he needed her. The realization of almost dying because of her father gave her a new sense of fear. He would really go to these kind of lengths for her to obey? The fear that this gave Dexinaiya made her agree to her father's plans.

He nodded at his daughter and cut her restraints off.

Looking to the person holding her up her father instructed him to help Dexinaiya with everything.

Dexinaiya was too tired to roll her eyes. The adrenaline rush had made her too tired. She instead focused on the wall in front if her.

During this time the person who was holding her up in the tub pulled her out by her armpits and let her weak body lean into him. He gently sat her down on the floor as he drained the tub and filled it up again. Dexinaiya decided to watch as the man checked the temperature in the water before turning to her.

He walked towards her and picked her up again by the armpits, so she was standing on her feet. He would continue to undress Dexinaiya and help her into the tub.

The warm water didn't help with how tired Dexinaiya was. The man then started to wash Dexinaiyas long dark hair. He had no expression on his face, he was just doing his job.

By the time Dex was finished, cleaned and clothed, she had been escorted by two other men into a car. She sat in the back , having a hard time keeping her eyes open. At some point she dozed off to the sound of the car.

When she awoke again, she was laying down in the back of the car. She sat up to see she was the only one inside. She turned her head to look out the window, her body making her yawn.

She saw both men smoking outside the car as they filled the tank up. At the sight of the cigarettes she couldn't help herself. It had been a long time since she was able to smoke. They were calling out to her.

Looking down at the door, she found the switch to roll down the window. She poked her head out the window and tapped on one of the mens shoulder.  He jumped at the contact and turned around.

" why are you awake ?"

Dexinaiya shrugged it off and motioned her hands to ask for a cig.

" I don't think I can give you one lady"

Dexinaiya furrowed her brows in confusion.

" just let me finish yours bozo"

Dexs remark made the other guy laugh which gave him a glare. He raised his hands up , indicating he surrenders but continued to laugh. The guy passed dex his cig and she gladly took it. She puffed on it and her body instantly felt a wave of relief.

"Not your first time?"

Dex stopped her movements and looked at the guy.

"I'm not discussing shit with you pal, your my dads men"

The guy nodded , understanding. He left her there as he finished up filling the gas tank. She smashed the rest of the cigarette on the side of the car and threw it far behind the car.

Once the guys came back into the car and went onto the road again Dex started to wonder where she even was going.

" where are you guys even taking me"

The guy Dex recently talked to turned around in his seat and smiled.

"I'm not discussing shit with you lady, your my bosses duaghter"

Dexinaiya crossed her arms.

"Touche"

A few minutes later the car was pulled into a parking lot for a strip club. These men can't seriously contain themselves can they.

The guys got out the car and one of them opened the door to Dexs right. He pulled her out and onto her feet. Both men then led Dex into the club , which upon entering looked to be under construction. The confusion continued as they led her into a hallway and to a closed door. They knocked on the door twice and a voice responded for them to come in. They opened the door and nudged Dex inside. There she saw her dad. This was the place he wanted to talk in?

"Come my daughter, sit down,  we need to talk"
