All That Matters (The CG Series #1)

Chapter Seven

My eyes opened to the cellar doors, someone turning the lock and reaching to slide the bolts. It took time for my visions to adjust. I turned to my side and saw a man was kneeling beside me.
"Don't do or say something stupid." He said, locking his eyes in to mine. He has a black hair and beard was covering his face, much bigger than the white man I saw before I lost my consciousness.
I felt something sharp at my back. The man was pushing the the knife at me, sending shivers to my spine.

"Are you alright?" I heard someone said. "Carl..." I gasped as I was paralyzed by the knife I knew it could dug deeper in to my skin.
"Erin, what is happening here?" He asked, almost taking his gun out from his pocket. "I was just checking her out. She fainted awhile ago." Answered the man beside me, before I could let out a word.

"Are you sure?" Carl asked, eyeing for the man who was secretly pointing a knife behind me. The man pushed the knife, that it when through my shirt and almost cut deeper in to my skin. I knew he was pushing me to act like everything was fine.
Just when I stand from my feet, the man hid the knife which left Carl clueless about what was going on. I walked up to him. "Yes, everything is okay." I said, my heart screaming in protest. "If you need something, you can call from here and I swear even when I'm sleeping, I will get up and go to you immediately." He nodded, locking me in with this bunch of prisoners.
He started walking away, still handling to turn his back and give a look at me. I clutched my hand at the metal bar and gave him a weak smile, just as weak as I was feeling.

The other people from their group was sleeping in their cell. Our room was dim in light. When Carl completely disappeared from the view I went back to what I was dealing with. "I-I have nothing to do with this, little girl." The white man with an accent mumbled, shaking his head.
"I ain't done with you yet." Said the man who was bigger than him, furiously walked towards me. He grabs out my hair and pull me to where we were sitting earlier.

**Please note: The next part may contain strong language. I suggest to continue reading if you are 13+.

"If you want to make here out alive, you know you have to give that to me." He said mockingly, staring to my chest. "If that's the only way for me to live then I'd chose to die." I answered, trying to seem strong.
"You want to die huh?" He questioned, pushing me to the sleeping  bags on the floor. My back hurt, getting the cold touch of the ground again.
"You have to give me pleasure before I let that happen." He added, pulling out his knife and it was just inches away from my face. He forcefully threw his self against me, his whole body pushing against mine. He held my thighs, awkwardly moving at the top of me.

The rest of the prisoners were watching him as I struggle so hard to keep what was mine. "Now let this thing inside of you." He mumbled, holding his thing inside his pants.
I felt so helpless as I turned my gaze to the white man I saw lately, pity was filling his eyes. The other man stood tall beside him with no emotions showing up his face. I knew they were under the control of this man who is worst than the diseased creatures outside. He was more than mindless.

I bent my knee and reached down for my boot. His body weight was pressing against me.
I grab hold of my knife I was hiding ever since. I let him dry hump at me as it could be his last move. Raging anger filled my veins. "You perverted man." I said before I dugged my knife in to his chest, his evil blood dripping to me.
Before the other man could do something, I pulled the gun out from his pocket. "Don't move." I said firmly, pointing the gun towards them. I could shoot at any moment.

I pushed his motionless body away as he loose more blood. I stand back up, still pointing the gun at their direction.
"Lower your weapons." I said, commanding them to do what I said. The upperhand was mine.
The black man started to lower his weapon until he came running to me, raising his axe just above my head.
I got out of his way and pointed the gun to his shoulder. I pulled the trigger, sending the bullet through his flesh. He screamed in pain, the sound of the fired gun echoed to both of the blocks.

"Don't step closer. I don't want to kill anyone." I said, tears started to fill my eyes. I tried to stop my hands from shaking. He came to me instead and pushed me down to the floor. My gun slipped out of my hand, it slid away from me.
He held tight of my neck against the wall, making it hard for me to breathe. "I said... don't... step... closer." I gasped, reaching out for my gun. He held tighther and I could feel my blood was climbing up to my face. My fingertips touched the end of the gun. I grab hold of it and shot him on the side of his head.

Everyone came out of their cell and I saw Carl running towards the commotion, his dad was after him. "What is going on in here?" Asked his dad, glancing at the white man.
"He tried to kill me. The other man just tried to rape me." I explained, tears dropping continously to the my face. "Are you alright?" Asked Carl as he tried to search for my injuries. I nodded in response.
His dad was dealing with the only man left. Everything went moving slow as I started seeing them in a blurry vision. Carl was shaking me by my shoulders as I looked around the hellish scenario, with two men's motionless body lying on the floor.

I killed these people.

Carl was talking but I could not hear anything except him and his dad's unclear voices. It seemed as my feet were glued to the floor. Everything went turning around again, I hate this feeling. Until a loud thud met my ears.
