The Protected (WATTY'S2015)

Ladies

I walked down the steps, Jackson going first. The deeper I went, the more it smelt like the bathroom. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got to the end. I threw up again, due to seeing corpses of many women, and of some men. I heard shouting, and went to investigate. 

"Help me!"

It was a girl. I ran to the voice, opening a door. A girl on the table, she looked fifteen, was nude, and crying. I ran to her and noticed she had been whipped, and abused. 

"Please, no more," she moaned loud.

"I'm not here to hurt you, who did this to you?" I said looking her up and down and hugging her.

"His name was Sam, he told us we didn't need to call him a nickname because we wouldn't be able to escape.." She said crying onto my shoulder.

"I will tell you a secret, kay?"

"Wh- what is it?" 

"I can see a ghost, and hes gonna help us get out of here."

"Are you crazy like.. 'him'?!"

I sighed, If i was going to get her out of here, I would have to ask if there was anybody else alive.

"Is anyone else down here?"I said looking away, so she wouldn't feel comfortable.

"They got abused to much by customers, he killed them if they were bad." She groaned.

I grabbed her arm and told her it was okay, and that she should stay close. Jackson was somewhere in this basement dungeon, I looked around and saw him staring at a corpse. Upon closer examination, it seemed to be a familiar face to me and him. Jackson. I put my hand over my mouth, trying to stop myself from crying. No time for it! I have to hurry before my boyfriend gets home early. I whispered towards Jackson, "We need to go. NOW!" He looked back and ran, with tears on his face. I picked up the girl and asked her, "Whats your name?" She then looked at me and said her name was Luna. I told Luna to call the police, and she did what she was told. 

"Hello, officers, help us! I was kidnapped and right now this woman is helping me escape, just please track this phone!" She told the officers. 

"Okay, just stay on the call as long as you can, okay?" a well-known voice told Me, Luna, and Jackson. Detective Kosher. I ran up to my room, and told Luna to stay there. 

"Hey, Sun." Jackson muttered..

"Yes?"

"When will I live again?"

I just remembered, Jackson was still dead, and we were doing nothing about it!

"How can we get you back to normal J?"

"We have to kill your boyfriend." Jackson said plainly like it was no big deal.

I was actually totally fine with that. Sam needed to pay for killing so much people, but one question i still had was how did he get that many people in there without me knowing? Where they co-workers trying to get the upper hand for a promotion? Trying to get in bed for just ONE little inch towards one? The police sirens blared outside, and they knocked. I ran towards the door at lightning speed, and opening it.

"Officers, follow me!" I screamed showing them the basement. Ten officers went down stairs. I took the rest of the officers to my room where Luna was staying.
