Chapter Twenty Six.

*****
Joelle's POV;
*****
I had been in the chair for fifteen hours.

No water, No food.

No human contact.

They left me ten minutes after they tied me up.

I've kept track of time with the tap of my feet; blinking of my eyes.

Simple.

What did they mean by backup?

maybe they'll leave me here to die.

hopefully.

My eyes fluttered shut as I waited, the silence becoming unbearable. Soon after, I fell into a light sleep, maintaining my senses.
*****
I woke up to three girls standing above me, all unfamiliar.
My throat hurt so bad.
I need water.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, threatening our girls?" The tall, brown haired girl asked.
"I dont know... I dont know what you're talking abou-"
"Oh, you know. Don't even try to go there." The other tall girl spoke, this one blonde.
"Yeah, you know what we're talking about. And we're here to teach you a lesson." The shorter one said, cracking her knuckles.
I struggled to get out of the chair, trying to push myself backward.
"W-What do you m-mean?" I stuttered out, shaking my head.
That's when I felt a fist collide with my face.
*****
I sat slouched forward in my chair, some blood still dripping down my cheeks.
There was dried blood, and dried tear stains apon my face.
I looked up when I heard someone walk into the room, and met the eyes of Gemini.
"Alright, you can get up now." She spoke, untying my hands.
I rubbed my wrists and hands, them sore from the rope.
I rose slowly from the chair, reaching for the kitchen sink.
I reached for the semi-dirtied towel, attempting to turn on the sink, but sadly nothing ran out.
I cursed under my breath, and turned around to face Gemini.
She was holding out a water bottle.
I grabbed it hesitantly, dumping some of the water on my towel.
I rubbed it on my face, some dirt and blood coming off, But there was still some open cuts.
They would probably take a while to heal.
