The Secret Room

Chapter 4

Sari's Pov:

I opened my eyes to see a dark room. I attempted to lift my head off the ground only to have a searing pain pierce the back of my head. The memories of what I thought was last night flooded back. Atleast I thought it was last night, I had no idea what time it was.

Tears formed in my eyes as I realized that this wasn't a dream. Flashbacks of sitting in Mr. Johnsons car sent chills up my spine. Someone please help! The tears washed away the dried blood on my face. I touched my nose, it was throbbing. I couldn't believe that Mr. Johnson would do something like this. He was so nice! I thought to myself. I have even been on vacation with him!

Memories rushed into my head. Jade invited me to Florida with her for spring break. At that time we were about 13. We went jet skiing and scuba diving. I'll never forget that day Jade got sea sick on the boat and vowed to never go on a boat again. I never really talked to him a lot but as I got older I realized that he did start looking at my body a lot. I wanted to confront Jade about it but thought she would call me crazy or worse, get insulted by it and stop being my friend.

Suddenly a door creaked open. I squeezed my eyes shut. This is not happening right now. This just can't be happening! The door slammed shut behind him. "Rise and shine, bitch!" He yelled in a low voice. He dragged a wooden chair in. "Sit" he said flatly while pulling me up from my fetal position. Pain erupted both in the back of my head and my nose. I whimpered in pain causing him to notice. "Oh honey" he almost seemed to care, "Get over yourself you whore!" I started to cry. You are not a whore sari, you are NOT a whore. Tears poured out of my cheeks, all I wanted was to go home. I want to go home! "STOP CRYING!" He roared. My tears immediately turned to sniffles.

I sat in the chair as he tied a rope around me. Every move I made my head would feel intense pain. He set my phone on another chair and set the timer for 10 seconds that sly bastard stole my phone right out of my pockets! The thought that his hands had been in my pockets made me shutter. What the hell was he doing with my phone! I didn't dare say a word.

He set the timer and started it, he dashed behind me I turned to look at him. He then pulled out a knife. "TURN THE HELL AROUND SARI!" He ordered. Tears fell from my cheeks again but I stayed quiet. He took the picture, I could see he was in I message. I had no idea who he was sending that picture to. Hopefully whoever sees it will call the police!

"Next task my dear." He cooed. He handed me the knife. "Wha- what do yo-" I stammered. I was so confused. "Cut your finger!" He began to get impatient. "Why d-"  he cut me off. "NOW!" He growled. He calmed himself. "Now, you will begin to you're next in your own blood. Call me over when it's done." he said walking towards the chair. He picked up a book.

I dig the knife into my own flesh. I winced in pain. I'm hurting myself. I soon realized that in order to get the job done I had to bleed more. I bit my lip as I as I created a large gash in my index finger. Tears formed in my eyes. I looked at the wound I just created. I stred in shock. Is that my bone! I could see my bone! I felt vile slide up my throat. Keeled over mad puked all over the floor. I could see him laughing at me. After more blood and loss of vile I finally finished. I was almost proud of myself, almost. "Mr. John-" he cut me off again. Please call me Harry. I took a deep breath. "Harry, I'm done." Harry inspected it. "Well done Sari!" He exclaimed. He snapped a picture of it. "What are you doing with those pict-" "Dammit Sari, Stop asking dumb fucking questions!" He groaned. I put my head down. Without warning he pulled out a white cloth sedating me yet again. "Goodnight Sari." He smiled. I tried to stay awake but I couldn't even make it to a wall to support myself. I collapsed on the ground. To weak to lift my head I watched as I saw he feet walk out the door followed by the door slamming. Then everything went black.

"I brought you a friend." He taunted, making his voice high pitched. I grabbed my knees holding them so tight that my nails dug into my skin causing it to bleed. "I'll be back in 10 minutes, you better be ready for our big day" he said almost sincerely.

Just after I heard a thud on the ground. I couldn't see what it was in the low light. He then turned and left the room, letting the hard metal door slam shut. I heard a series of locks click then I heard his footsteps move farther and farther away.

I anxiously inched closer to where I heard the thud. Just then the bag shifted startling me. Oh my god! It's probably another person. To my horror it was Jade.
