Disappearing In Twos

Chapter 5

     The beast led us back to our room and told us he had some business he had to attend to; so dinner would be a little late.  Sara and I sat together on the bed. She put her back up against the headboard and hugged her knees to her chest. Her eyes stayed glued to the mattress never once looking me in the eyes.

      "I'm sorry Sara... I couldn't keep you safe last night, but from now on I'm going to try my best to keep him away from you... I--"

      "JUST STOP ROSE! I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" Sara yells as she buries her head into her knees and begins to sob. For hours, we sat there, neither of us moved.

Sara eventually cried herself to sleep  while I sat there. I sat there by her side and watched her closely. With every rise and fall of her chest she drifted deeper into a sleep, a dream that I'd hope would take her far away from here. Every now and then I'd see her breath become ragged and her brows furrow.

I watched every feature of her face: her eyes shut tightly, her mouth forming a straight line- though sometimes its corners would dip and display a frown- that appeared indifferent to the world, and her high cheek bones that were still so shiny from all the tears she has cried and the new tears that she is shedding as she sleeps. A strand of hair falls down into her face and I take my hand and gently tuck it behind her ear.

      More hours pass, and I begin to here foot steps above us. I shake Sara awake and help her look 'presentable' as that monster would say. We heard the footsteps grow louder and then the door flew open showing him.

      "Hey ladies, did ya miss me," He smirked as he raked his eyes over Sara, admiring his handiwork once again, "Be ready in five lovelies."

And with that he left us to dress.

      I went to the closet and picked out two dresses, one that clearly showed too much skin and one that seemed too innocent to even touch. I handed Sara the dress that was very exposing while I took the innocent dress noticing how he reacted earlier this must clearly be his taste.

      I won't let him take you again...

      He was back down the steps no sooner than I finished our hair and makeup. When he opened the door he was pleased with how we looked. He walked up to me and caressed my cheek and I forced myself to lean into his touch. I forced a small smile  and peered up at him. He was grinning and every fiber of my being was disgusted by what I was doing, but I was going to protect Sara the best I could.

      He led us to the dining room and on the table was a couple of boxes of pizza. I must've looked so happy about the pizza because for the first time since we've been trapped here I swear I saw Sara give a brief smile, but then we remembered the situation we were in.

We barely ate anything because we had no appetite. He escorted Sara back to the room downstairs, locked her up, and made his way back to me. He held my hand and led me to what I assumed was his room...

      How would I survive this night...
