Twists and Turns

Prologue

"Up."

Shaking at the harshness of his deep voice, I rose up slowly, looking up at him, he looked back in disgust.

"Did I tell you to look at me?" I looked away from him and at the bottom of the cold, metal cage quickly as I waited for him to let me out.

"Good girl. Now, sit."

Still shaking, I sat back down on the cold floor of the cage. The coldness stung my legs, and I was wearing sweat pants.

"That's nice you know how to follow directions, Autumn. You still need a little bit of work, though. Now, you won't disobey me, will you?" He asked, showing that adorable smirk that I was once so in love with. Now, it looked like Satan himself was staring me right in the face.

"I SAID.. YOU WONT DISOBEY ME NOW, WILL YOU?!" He screamed and his demonic hazel eyes bore into my skin. I shrieked.

"No.." I said, my voice so quiet it could barely pass for a whisper, my head hanging down in shame. Now I have truly realized.. That's all I ever was to him, a dog. A little dog that he could train and make in his own image. I couldn't help the tears that began to stream down my face.

"Good girl," he said, satisfied. "Now, I was going to let you out but you have looked me in my eyes when you weren't supposed to. Now, you're going to stay in your cage for another 30 minutes and think about what you've done." My stomach then began to grumble loudly. God, I was so hungry. I silently cursed myself for not stealing a snickers bar when I tried to escape. But who was thinking of Snickers bars when their life was in danger?! But that was the least of my worries. I needed to get out of here. Why was I so stupid? Where is Divine! Why hasn't she come to my rescue by now!!

Slowly, I rose up and dragged myself back more into my cage, literally. Who the hell could own a cage this huge to fit about three human bodies in it? Only a psychopath. A psychopath that I fell in love with.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Me.

I was bounded with chains from my wrists to my legs. The pain was pretty intense, but it was his orders that I pretended not to be in pain. The more I pretended it didn't hurt, the less it did. Don't ask me why but somehow it actually worked.

He closed the door slowly, locked it then kissed me on my nose through the 3 metal bars in the front and walked away. When I was certain that he was far away, I began to cry my eyes out.. How did I get into this mess? Why didn't I listen? I thought he would change for the better. I thought I would be safe with him.. I was warned so much times. Divine warned me, Mom and Dad warned me, my fucking teacher warned me! Why didn't I pay attention to the signs that were there already.. It has been 48 hours now. I sat with my back against this huge, cold, metal stupid cage and cried harder. I looked down at my wrists and ankles and saw that they were bloody because of how tight the cuffs were around them. To come to think of it, 7 months ago.. I was your average, shy anti-social girl in high school just trying to graduate and live a successful life of her own, with her best friend. Crushing on boys, instigating school gossip and fights on Facebook and Instagram, watching the new episodes of Empire, Power and Orange is The New Black... Now, I just wanted those times back more than ever. At least in that time I was considered human... Now.. I am property... His property. He owns me, and there is nothing that I can do about it. Nobody here to come to my defense, how could I expect them to anyway? After all I've done..

I just want my freedom back.. At least I know one thing now. My parents were right.

Life is truly full of Twists and Turns...

Help. Me. Please.
