Everyone Starts Somewhere

Desperation

Harmony's POV
I looked to my right when I got my head out of the clouds I saw Ashley Purdy in a cage. That monster!
Ashley opened his mouth to speak but I had to stop him from getting killed.
" No, don't say anything! I know who you are, I'm a Purdy girl. If you do or say anything he'll kill you, don't save me, I'm not worth it!" I hissed when he walked in
Ashley glared at him for a minute, " You look like a hard ass, I don't know about you but most of the hard asses I know are really good at gambling, are you a gambling man, Mr....." Ashley paused waiting for him to fill in his name when he said "death, call me Mr. Death" Ashley was just trolling him now " nope, not calling you that, because you won't be the death of me, you see, I've left a legacy behind me, I'll be remembered by thousands of fan girls who will remember me and tell their kids, creating my after life. Imma call you Larry.
How about we make a deal, if I can tell you why the fuck you're doing all this and you will let us both out, if I get it wrong, I get shot in the face and she goes free, deal? " Ashley says with the most smug look on his face, was he CRAZY? I screamed in denial rattling around in the crate both men oblivious to my dissonance.
I realize that I use unnecessarily big words, but I feel that language is a gift that most people make smaller to fit in their pockets so they don't have to carry around everywhere, any way I am getting off topic, my hand is starting to cramp from writing and my time is growing short; and you know the story, homicidal maniac accepted the bet, Ashley won, maniac left us in the cages to get to know each other better "before we went our separate ways"
Hahahahaha. No. He would take me out and beat, and cut, and drag me across the ground. One night, he left my cage open. I got Ashley out only to find out that the door to the warehouse was locked.
So we waited for " Larry " and I attacked with the ferocity of a ferral cat, clawing and punching and biting and kicking, my foot hadn't healed right so it held me back a little bit but for every six blows I had on him he had three on me with a knife he had in his hand, I threw Ashley the gun Larry left in the corner to tantalize us with. As Larry stood for the fatal strike, Ash took careful aim and shot him down, emptying the clip into his back.
I blacked out after that, woke up here, in the hospital, doctors are telling me that I am dying of infection and heart failure due to malnutrition and stress, I had lived for two years in a cage, a new dead body next to me every week usually, there were spikes during Christmas, and Phil dated Dan when he was abducted three months prior to Dan coming to America to start a new life because Britain reminded him of Phil.
I'm finding it difficult to hold the pen and my heart is racing.
Ashley, I think that if we had met any other way, you might have asked me to become THE Purdy girl, but as it stands I will die, under the name
