Kidnapped- A Tøp Fanfic

Scars

A/N- No, it's not over yet. There's still much more to come! 

------------------------

Dasher pulled of my weapon holder thing, and then he exited the cell, and locked it behind him. He also turned off the lights, and lights a small candle, so I can barely see anything. Then he to walked up the stairs, and away from me.

I manage to pull myself over to the corner and sit up. I put my injured hand in my lap, and lean my head against the wall. Then silent tears stream down my face.

I was about to fall asleep, when I heard something moving in the darkness. Using my uninjured hand, I wipe away the tears on my face. I narrow my eyes, and look around the cell. It's then that a notice to small figures huddled in the corner diagonal from me.

There faces are full of bruises, making it hard to identify them, but I could recognize their hair anywhere. My eyes widen. It's Josh and Tyler. I found them.

Both of them are asleep, leaning on each other. Not wanting to disturb them, I put myself in a more comfortable position and let myself doze off.

---------------------

I wake up to see Tyler and Josh a foot away from me, staring at me. My eyes widen, and I scurry to sit up, accidentally putting pressure on my injured hand. I clench my teeth in pain. My hand was now throbbing, and all the pain from yesterday came back at once. Tyler and Josh seem embarrassed that they got caught, and Tyler spoke up first.

"Sky? That you?" I nod. "Are you alright? What's hurting you?" He asked. Shaking, but not speaking, I slowly lifted my hand to show them what had happened. His and Josh's eyes widened, and Josh gasped. 

"What else did they do to you, and what happened to your face?" Still not speaking, I lifted my shirt slightly to show them my bruises. But I had to speak to answer his second question. 

"A bear," I managed to croak out. "What about you guys?" It hurt to talk, but I had to know. They glanced at each other, then showed me their scars. Both of their stomachs were lined with bruises, but I could also see scars that wips left. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault isn't it?" I say. 

"It's not at all. Don't even think about things like that." Tyler said.

"But- Josh- you said they were using you to lure me in." Tyler glared at Josh. Josh remained silent though, and instead Tyler replied.

"Yeah, that's true. But you had no control over it, therefore it is not your fault." I still wasn't intirely convinced. But I didn't have the energy to argue. Instead I leaned my head back against the wall and closed my eyes. 

"Yes, but it is my fault I couldn't save you." Before either of them could respond, music exploded out of a speaker at full volume, which is VERY loud. I felt like my eardrums were about to exploded. I covered my ears with my hands, causing pain in my injured hand, but not blocking out any noise. It was then that I realized the song playing was Message Man. It was a good song, but it playing at full volume made in intolerable. 

The sound turned off once the song was over. I opened my eyes, and realized that Tyler and Josh were pressed against me, one on either side, covering their ears and gritting their teeth. 

"What was that?" I ask.

"Every day, at the beginning of each hour, they play that song on full volume. I think they're trying to prove a point, make us fear them." Josh says. 

Then Tyler adds on, "I think she's trying to make us understand that she's the Message Man. After all, the lyrics are, 'you don't know my brain, the way you know my name. You don't know my heart, the way you know my face. You don't know what I've done, I'm wanted and on the run.' Do you know who she is, Sky? We can't figure it out."

"I know who she is. Her name is Piper, and she used to be my best friend."
