Sold to the Devil Himself

Starting Over

Beep beep beep

I could hear something beeping but my eyelids felt heavy. forcefully I made them open. I squinted adjusting to the light. I was in a hospital bed and the noise came from the monitor beside me. My body ached, I could see on my exposed arms the cuts and gashes that had been made by the man.

The door to my left opened slowly, creaking as the person pushing it walked in. I didn't dare move my neck. the pain that radiated up my spine and throughout my body was to great to be made worse.

So, the devil himself came, and stood right in front of me.

My breathing became rigid, my heart rate exhilarated to an unnatural speed. and I clung to the posts on my bed like I was about to get sucked up into a never ending tunnel. the monitor started beeping louder, and faster. My vision was once again becoming fuzzy.

I could here the door open again, my guess being a nurse. she was talking to me, telling me to calm down. she asked if I could speak. and the only thing I was able to mutter, whisper so quietly I would be surprised if she heard,

"Monster." And then my eyes shut, letting the dark take over.

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

"Why did she do that? I thought you said she would be fine?" Someone said angrily.

"I'm sorry sir, but you scared her I think. I believe she called you a monster." a women stated.

"Are you accusing me of doing this?! She fell!" The unknown voice said again.

"Uh-no sir, sorry sir, I'll leave you be." The women then left because shortly after I could here the door open and shut.

Foot steps were heard coming closer to the bed. And a hand grabbed mine. forcing me to except it. but not just any hand, no, it was Halen's.

And then I heard him sigh, "I just wanted you to not be so stubborn." He muttered. "but Leo went to far." he's voice darkened and his grip on my hand tightened. "but it's okay, he's gone."

I lay as still as I could. But my eyes betrayed me and I started to weep. I let my eyes open again to stare up at halen.

"I'll listen. I promise I'll listen, please don't hurt me.." I wept loudly.

Halens eyes softened. "I'm not going to hurt you-"

"Your not going to hurt me? Do you see what has happened to me? I can't even move." The tears kept falling. "I want this to be over make it stop.."

"I wanted you to listen! Your so fucking stubborn! I thought if I scared you you'd listen. He wasn't even supposed to touch you..no one is supposed to touch what is mine."

What is mine

" I'm not yours! I didn't want any of this! I-" I was caught off, by halens lips pressing softly to mine. He gripped my face lightly making circular motions with his thumbs. His breath smelt of mint as he breathed, slowly, he pulled away.

"You are mine. You will always be mine."

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

It had been 2 weeks. 2 weeks since I had been beaten. 2 weeks since halen had kissed me. I should be disgusted. I should have yelled at him. But I couldn't. I just stared. Somehow his lips had silenced me in a way.

I was leaving today though, thankfully. The nurse came in with a smile and told me I was going home. I would have thanked her. But I wasn't going back to a home. I was going back to hell.

The nurses helped me out of the bed and gave me a change of clothes. After changing I walked out of the room and proceeded down the hall.

I reached the end where a waiting room was, right next to the doors that I was supposed to leave from. As I stopped to look into the waiting room. The tv in the corner caught my eye.

My parents.

They were crying.

"If you have our daughter, we will give you whatever you want. Please bring back my little girl." She started to cry hysterically unto my fathers shoulder. And all she kept repeating after was that she didn't mean to.

Didn't mean to hit me.

Had no one noticed I was that girl? The pictures on the screen was me. The nurses had seen it several times, but, yet no one did anything.

"Are you alright dear?" One of the nurses asked me.

"That's me on the scree-"

I wouldn't do that if I were you

A voice whispered.
Come out to the car, and don't say another word.

For some reason. I listened. To tired to put up a fight, with whatever was talking to me.  I started to walk out leaving the nurse still standing there. A gust of wind lightly hit my face as I opened the doors of the hospital. I don't really remember getting into the car, but when I sat down the driver pulled off. Halen sat beside me and I moved as far away from him as I could. Keeping a good distance between the both of us.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Fine." I responded. I heard a seat belt unbuckle and a body move closer to mine. "Wh-what are you doing?" I asked him. He didn't reply though but took my hand in his,

"Im sorry Raven. I will make it up to you, I promised."

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

We had arrived at the house little over an hour ago. Neither me nor Halen had spoke for most of the ride. And when we arrived at the estate I had walked up to my room avoiding everyone.

My thoughts drifted back to when Halen had kissed me. Am I now just another Lana? I can't do that. But do I really have a choice? Do I want what happened previously to happen again if I don't listen?

All these thoughts were giving me a headache.

I opened the door to my room and walked down the familiar stares to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and took out the ingredients to make me a yummy grilled cheese.

The time I had spent in the hospital had been eating nothing but soup broth and this nasty pudding that I swear was made with some type of fungus. It almost looked green..(shivers)

I put the bread in the pan and turned around putting the butter back. But was startled and accidentally dropped it when Lana waltzed into the kitchen.

"Make me one." She said. While grabbing the butter from off of the floor and putting it on the counter.

"Why would I make you a sandwich?" I questioned.

"Because I asked you to." She sneered wrenching on my hair and throwing me back.

She came at me again but I held up my hands "ok, ok!" I whimpered, "I'll make you a sandwich.."

"Good." And then she walked away.
