Horror Awaits {Short Stories}

Silent Treatment

This chapter may be disturbing than the rest and also is a lot longer than my other ones. ~Ms.Anonymous ♡

I flash my eyes open to feel a sharp pain in my back and wrists. I snap my neck down to see myself sitting down in an old wooden chair. My stomach had ropes tightly tied to the back of the chair.

My ankles were tied up as well and it stung like hell... My wrists were tied behind my back and over the top of the chair. I had duct tape across my dry lips and it was kind of hard to breathe.

I then scan my eyes around the room to see three other chairs around me. The three chairs, (including mine), were placed in a wide circle and we all were separated.

One of the chairs had a little girl in it, I could tell because her feet didn't even touch the floor. Her eyes were faintly closed and looked extremely heavy and weak with bags under them.

Her long white dress she wore, was torn up and had cuts everywhere. Splats of blood across her cheeks and clothing and almost went from head to toe. She, also, had duct tape across her lips. 

The chair next to the little girl was a boy around my age... I think... His clothing wasn't as torn as the little girl next to him but it had blood stained marks as well. His eyes were wide open and he rested his head on the side of his shoulder.

His brown pupils were tiny and full of fear, which is probably from insanity. He ever so often blinked, which made it ever creepier... His lips were tapped together with a much thinner piece of duct tape, also not as much as everyone else.

The last chair was right beside me, which was another girl who looked around twenty. She was in a black tank top with dark blue jeans. Her clothing was torn up a bit, just like the little girl's.
She was hunched over a little bit not too much where her face could be seen. Her blue eyes seemed to have been darkened and almost faded into a grey.

Just when I thought this couldn't get any worse, it did...

I heard a clanking noise of echoing footsteps approach me. I flash my eyes to the ground to see the older woman weakly looking up. I then feel the warmth of a hand on top of my shoulder.

I flinch and wince in fear and gasp silently. The hand clenches my shoulder, as if he knew how scared I was.

"We have a new guest." The voice said, which sounded like a man. "Her name is 3,721."

3,721?! What?! Is that how many people have been here?!

"3,719?" The man said, raising his voice in tone, "Would you like to explain the rules to our new friend?"

The two girls, (the older woman and the little girl), both slowly bring their eyes towards the boy. He shakes his head furiously before sitting up. The man then comes out from behind me and makes his way over towards the boy.

The man rips off the duct tape off of the boy's lips and smirked widely. He skips off like a little child before a loud metal door slammed behind him. The boy clears his dry throat before sighing.

"T-the.....t-the.... T-the rules are...." The boy stutterers, "The....rules are... Never....t-talk b-back. O-obey m-m-m-master. N-nev-never steal... D-don't....don't..... D-don't... T-try....try..." His voice was shaking and it eventually fades off into a mumble.

The woman flashes a dirty look at the boy before he starts to continue. "D-don't....try....a-and......e-e-e......e-escape...."
