Wren

S. Part 10

Sophie didn't let herself sleep.

No one came in the room for hours after the woman's visit, and it had already been later at night when they'd been taken, so they were exhausted-- it must be the early hours of the morning right now. Eden was slouched against Sophie's shoulder, sleeping lightly, while Sophie stared hard at the door, her mind playing out various scenarios about what was going to happen to them. 

The door opened suddenly and before Sophie's muddled mind could process what was happening, the lights flicked on and three men in dark clothes and black masks rushed in, grabbed Eden, and started dragging her towards the door as she woke in a panic.

Sophie lunged to her feet and body slammed one of the men who had a hold on Eden's arm. They rolled from the impact, both her and the man slamming into one of the far walls. But she was up again in a flash and charged forward, bending down and ramming her shoulder into the other's stomach, sending him careening backwards.

Sophie fell over, unable to catch herself with her hands still bound behind her back. But now Eden was free from the men's grips, and ran to Sophie. She crouched down and cowered beside her, tears running down her face as she sobbed. One minute she'd been asleep in a dark room curled up next to her girlfriend, the next she was being dragged away to god knows where, where god knows what would happen to her. She was traumatized.

The third man who'd been waiting by the door looked shocked; it had all happened so fast. Sophie could see his wide brown eyes flick around the room as he tried to figure out what to do. He motioned for the others, who were recovering and pulling themselves to their feet, to follow him back out of the room. They'd have to regroup to deal with the girls.

It was ten minutes later that they were back, with three extra men dressed in identical black clothes. This time they immediately went for Sophie and pinned her to the concrete floor.

"Fuck you-- get off!" Sophie screamed as they held her down, her face smashed to the floor, but she could see them cornering Eden as she tried to get away. 

"Don't touch her!" Sophie continued, thrashing to get free. But under the weight of three men holding her down, all she could do was watch as they caught Eden and dragged her out of the room as she cried and begged to be let go. The door slammed shut, severing her view.

The men let go and jumped back as Sophie sprang to her feet, adrenaline coursing through her. She glared at them as she dashed to get between them and the door. 

She blocked their path, watching the fear pale their faces as they realized--

They were the ones trapped in here with her.

And she would make them regret it.

Eden's hands had been cut free so they could tow her along easier. She grasped at the hands that roughly gripped her arms, pleading with her captors to let her go. They ignored her, just continuing to pull her down the dim, barren hallway. They stopped in front of a metal door and flung it open, dragging her inside and slamming it shut behind them.

She was nowhere near as strong or skilled as Sophie, and she knew that, but that didn't stop her from fighting as they wrestled her into a chair in the middle of the large room. They tied her wrists and ankles down, then just left her there.

Time dragged by as she waited-- her mind coming up with scenarios she didn't want to see. Her heart raced when she heard footsteps coming down the hall.

The door opened and the woman from before slinked inside, a venomous smile on her lips. She made her way over to Eden, circling her slowly. "My, my. You look a little scared. But there's nothing to worry about, Eden. You just have to be a good little girl and tell me what I want to know. That doesn't sound too hard, now does it?"

Eden shivered when the woman used her name. She hated it. It made her skin crawl. . .

The woman grabbed a chair that'd been sitting off to the side and pulled it closer, sitting down elegantly and crossing her legs. She leaned a little closer, her perfume stinging  Eden's nose. 

"Let's begin, shall we?"

"Who are you?" Eden asked, desperate to get any information she could.

"My name is Elena."
