Race to the Finish

Race to the Finish chp.44

"You are a very beautiful girl you know that?" He whispered in my ear a bit huskily.

I didn't respond. My body ached, my stomach churned, and tears were spilling from my eyes rapidly.

He grabbed the back of my neck and squeezed tightly causing a whimper to escape my chapped lips.

"Answer me." He seethed in my ear.

The fear coursing through was something I had never felt before. Not even when my father first started beating me was I so scared. I couldn't respond. My throat was sore and dry, my bones felt weak and frail, and my lips were so chapped it hurt to move them.

He threw me back causing my bare back to hit the metal of the cage harshly. He stood up and locked the cage. He walked around it and kneeled down beside me. The metal handles of the cage the only thing separating us.

"It's alright. You don't have to answer. I guess Fausto and I will just have to show you how beautiful you truly are." Sebastian said licking his lips.

I brought my knees up to my chest and buried my face in them. Small whimpers resonated through the quiet room.

I didn't know why I was here.

~~~~~~~~

I was at home sleeping when my father drunkenly staggered into my room. He grabbed a fistful of my hair and dragged me out of my bed. I had cried for him to tell me where he was taking me as I saw he was directing me towards the front door. He didn't say anything just opened the front door and threw me out. Two guys were standing outside the door with wicked smiles. One was a teenager the other was an older man. The teenager grabbed my arm gently and gave me a sweet smile. I looked up to be greeted my deep hazel eyes with ink black hair. He helped me up.

"Who are you?" I asked him scared.

"It's ok sweetie. I'm here to help you. We're going to be great friends ok?" He asked me in a gentle voice.

I nodded my head slowly. "What's your name?" I asked him feeling a bit more relaxed.

"Fausto." He smiled at me. "My name is Fausto."

With that he helped onto the black van that blended in with the windy night sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is how I ended up here. In this cold secluded room. The walls had grime on them, the room was stuffy, and the floor was bitter cold.

It has been three days since they brought me here. Their "kindness" had only lasted one day. After that they beat me and threw me in this small cage that barely fit me.

"Hey, Alexandra." Fausto came into the room. "Missed me?" He asked smugly.

I averted my eyes from his cold, sinister hazel eyes. How I ever believed them to be kind eyes is beyond me.

He walked up to the cage and unlocked it. He grabbed my arm gently, but now I knew better than to believe any part of him to be kind.

He tried to carefully get me out of the cage, but I struggled against him.

"Come on, Alexandra. I just want you to know how beautiful you truly are. Can't you come out here for me?" He asked soothingly.

I turned my head away from him not wanting to let my guard down around him again.

He groaned irritated with me. "F*ck this." He said.

He grabbed my arm so tightly I could feel my skin bruising under his fingers. He forcefully pulled me out of the small cage. In the process of being pulled of the cage, my head was hit on the metal cage adding another bruise on my head.

Once I was out, he threw me on my knees scraping them as well. He kneeled behind me and kissed my bare back right where the markings of the cage bars where located.

On the second day, when they had locked me up in the cage, had made me put on a strapless bra, and booty shorts. I was eleven years old. I had never felt so exposed and dirty. They had made me hate myself. Not even my own father had me despise myself and feel dirty and unworthy.

Fausto groaned again, but this time not of frustration. He kissed my neck and all I wanted to do was hurl.

"You have no idea how beautiful you are Alexandra." He smirked against my neck and kissed it again.

A sob escaped my lips.

How could he do something like this to an eleven year old? He was six years older than me.

He stood up and walked in front of me. He grabbed my neck digging his fingers into my flesh and lifted me up. He let go off my neck and slapped me across the face. He slapped me so hard I flew to the floor and the sound echoed through the eerie room.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear any more of your pathetic cries!" He finished by kicking me in the gut.

I winced and felt the bruise already forming. I clutched my stomach in pain and let a silent stream of tears flow down my face, but didn't dare let a sound of pain out.

He kneeled down in front of me again. He caressed my face and kissed me. He kissed me in the mouth. Stole my first kiss at such a young age.

"You are such a good girl Alexandra." He grabbed my ass and squeezed. "I'll make sure to tell father to give you half a slice of bread rather than a crumb today. Oh and maybe a bit of water." He smirk sinisterly.

He got up once again and pushed me in the cage. I curled into the armadillo and hugged my body close. He locked the cage and walked out of the room laughing as if this was some kind of sick joke to him.

****

I woke up in the same position as I was that night years ago. My body was curled into the armadillo and silent tears streamed down my face. I buried my face further into the pillow. The slight movement caused my ribs to protest in pain.

Last night after we got home from Jaiden's birthday party, I was able to get Jaiden safely in her room before my father got to me.

He beat me so badly I swear I heard my ribs crack. After he passed out, I limped to my room clutching my side gently as to not hurt my rib any more.

I went into my room and fell asleep only to have the horrible memories of Fausto and Sebastian.

When I thought I was free, the bastards had to come back and make the fear return into my body.
