As Mysteries Begin To Unravel (Paused)

Chapter 13

I was curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth. I had finished cleaning the ground and there was no longer blood everywhere. My clothes were stained brown and the room smelled rusty. I pushed the bag as far away as possible from me and made sure that it was zipped up tight.

"Hey. What's wrong?" A voice calls out.

I turn around to see the girl I had put into the bag standing beside me. I hop up. "What? How are you-" "Oh, sorry, I'm Angelica." "Oh.. My name is Julia." I replied, slightly confused. "How did Tony get you?" I asked her. "I used to work at a strip club and it was so boring. Anyways, that guy came up to me and told me he wanted me to follow him. I ignored him at first, but when he offered me money, I followed him into his car and ended up here." She said, looking a little sad.

I paused and processed what she said and asked her, "What's a strip club?" She blushed a little but the look on her face was determined. "It's a place where men pay girls to dance on poles and dance privately for them." She looked confident, while I was horrified. Angelica. What an ironic name.

"Well, what's wrong?" She asks me, cocking her head to the side. She was so pretty. Poor girl, trapped down here like me. Down right? I guess... Where am I? I always assumed I was in a basement.

"Hello?" She says, annoyance lacing her voice as she snaps her fingers in my face.

"Oh? Sorry, I'm just... scared. He hurt you. What will he do to me? Will he do worse or just keep me down here? I mean sure he rapes me, but that's nothing compared to what he did to you." I said. My voice cracking and getting quieter as I spoke. Wait a minute... Her limbs were very much attached to her body. I quickly glanced over her naked body and noticed there was no blood on her body. Minutes earlier, her breasts were in shreds, but now they were plump and round.

I grew afraid and much more confused than earlier. I crawled over to the huge bag and unzipped it. I opened it and the smell in the room grew worse. The body and body parts were still in the bag.

I quickly zipped the bag back up and gagged. I looked up to see Angelica staring at me. The look on her face just said one thing: Pity.

"Well, I guess we can learn some more stuff about each other..." I mumbled. She nodded eagerly and her eyes lit up. I couldn't help but smile, her smile was so contagious. "I used to live with Tony-" I was interrupted by Angelica when she let out a gasp. "You lived with that monster?! OMG, I feel so bad for you." OMG? What is that? Only moms gasp? No, that's not it. Hey! She's speaking to you. Oh, right.

"...So yeah, my boyfriend was a real prick." I was about to ask her what a prick was when I heard a noise. I turned around to see Tony. "Hello Julia. Did you learn your lesson from earlier?" I nodded and glanced over to where Angelica was. She was gone.

He grabbed my cheeks and forced me to look at him. "Look me in the eye when I'm speaking Julia." "Yes sir." I responded. He smirked. "I like that. I can't decide on what you should call me. Daddy is sweet, maybe a little too sweet, sir is strict, but I'm a strict person, and Tony is just very plain. I need something that will make you... Obey me." He closes his eyes as he inhales the scent of the room. "I love the smell of blood. It always helps me think." He murmurs quietly to himself.

He's lost it. He's gone. There is no Tony. The man I once loved was gone. The love I felt for him before vanished.

"You know what, how about you call me master, and I will call you my slave. Sound good to you?" The glare in his eyes told me to say yes. "Yes Master, I understand." He smirked and left. I turned around to see Angelica. "What the hell, you just left me alone with Tony!" I shouted as soon as I was positive Tony was gone. "I-I'm sorry Julia..." Angelica stutters, tears forming in her eyes. I softened up a little bit and gave her a hug as she cried in my arms. "I just want to go home..." She whispers, pulling away from me. "Me too Angelica, me too..." I said, thinking about Bryan's caramel eyes.

Okay you guys, I'm sorry for the short chapter. I am very busy this Spring Break. Oh, and have a great Spring Break! What are you doing this Spring Break? And if it's already over, what did you do during Spring Break?

Oh, and another thing, I just wanted to add this cuz I don't want people to be creeped out over Angelica. Angelica is her imaginary friend, and not a ghost. I mean, if you want her to be a ghost, go ahead, but I made her an imaginary friend because I honestly would be creeped out knowing that a ghost is talking to Julia. I gtg now lovlies! Bye!
