Just a Little Bit of Hope

CHAPTER FIVE

"Hey!" A voice yells loudly. I jump awake and look over Breyon's shoulder to see Burt there with two other men.
"Nice to see you sugar. I stayed away as long as I could but I just need a dosage of you and that hot pussy between your legs." He says while licking his lips.
My stomach churns at his crude words. Remembering his threat from last time, I untangle myself from Breyon's sleeping arms as I make my way to the cell door. I look over and see a frightened Maya shaking in the corner. I nod my head at Breyon and she must get the hint as she stand and goes and coddles Breyon who starts whimpering in his sleep.
As soon as I exit the cell two men grab me and start to roughly grope me. They lead me to an open room and it's no secret what happens. Finally after tantalizing hours they are done. I received quite a few extra bruises to my broken body. They grab me roughly by my arms and drag me out of the room. We are just barely out the door when a loud booming voice stops us in our tracks.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I see Grayson's fuming face.
"We were uh-" Burt starts but Grayson interrupts them.
"You were what? Too busy with this whore to hear the sirens? We have a security breach and you're too busy getting laid to notice!" Grayson screams. His yelling voice is scary enough to get you to literally piss yourself.
"They are sound proof rooms. We're sorry sir!" They all said in unison.
"You're right you will be if you don't catch that fucking bitch that got away. Now go!" Grayson yells.
"What about her sir?" One of the men say which earns him a dark glare from Grayson.
"I'll take care of the whore just go!" And with that I'm left l alone with the most happiest man in the world go me.
"Let's go girl." Grayson says as he roughly grabs me by the arm and practically drags me back to my cell.
On the way I accidentally stumbled which slowed him down which must've made him pissed off. He turns around with a glower just for me.
"Let's fucking go you imbecile." He growls down at me while yanking my arm harshly.
He rolls his eyes at my wince of pain. Muttering something like, "she fucking asked for it."
The rest of the trip to my cell is silent. I couldn't be happier to finally get inside.
While Grayson is opening the cell Breyon comes up to the door and I wrap him in my arms instantly. His little shoulders shake as he cries. He knows something bad happens while I'm gone.
Hearing him cry makes tears well up in my own eyes. I whisper sweet nothings in his ear as I hear the cell door slide back into place before I hear loud thudding footsteps bounding away.
After our cry session, Breyon and I play our little games until our meal comes. It's the same old same old. One slice of bread and this time a full cup of water. I give my bread to Breyon and drink two sips of water before passing it to my boy too. I see Maya giving me worried looks but there's nothing I can do. I'll be damned if I'll eat food that my boy needs first.
Finally after today's event we lay down to sleep. As usual my baby asks me the same thing, "Story momma?"
"Story." I confirm with a smile.
"What story do you want bubba?" I ask as his eyes are already dropping closed.
"Mood goodness momma." He says quietly.
I laugh at his pronunciation before saying, "Okay baby."
I just start to tell my story when the siren blares it's loud shrill cry. Maya looks to me with a scared expression on her face.
"Line up ladies!" One man yells loudly as the cell doors swing open.
I grab Breyon and Maya's hand as we make our way out of our cell and stand in the line again. All is silent until we start hearing a quiet weeping that is fully escalating as it comes down the line.
Then I see it. Grayson has a hard scowl upon his face. He glares at every single woman as he goes by. That horrible crying is coming from behind his for he is dragging a young blonde woman with a short rope around her neck.
Every time she doesn't move fast enough he yanks on the rope causing it to choke her.
There is no noise besides the poor woman's weeping as it gets louder and louder as she knows what's going to happen to her.
Grayson finally speaks, "This woman tried to escape today. And it appears as if she couldn't do it alone. One of you helped this dirty mutt escape. Who was it?"
No one answers as he continues down the line.
Finally Grayson gets to me. I don't get my eyes down fast enough I slightly catch his with mine. I can barely even react before he has thrown me by my hair into everyone's eyesight.
Maya is holding Breyon back as a guard grabs the blonde woman.
Grayson creeps closer to me as he gives me an evil snarl.
"You, number thirty four is it?" He asks with a growl.
"Yes." I practically whisper.
"Where were you today?" He says harshly.
"I-I-I was with the guards sir. You walked me back to my cell yourself." I say quietly.
I barely have time to react before I receive a hard blow across my face.
"You were with the guards hmm? I honestly believe that you seduced the guards and made it so that that woman over there could escape!" He says with a yell.
"Sir please that's absurd!" I say louder than before.
"Are you questioning me?" He screams in my face.
I shake my head no and know that this is the end. I hold my head high.
"Well guards, it's time to finally fulfill your duties. Someone kill the blonde this ones mine." He snarls pointing at me.
He whips out his huge threatening claws and brings them teasingly to my face. I hear Breyon screaming and Maya crying.
Grayson puts his claws up to my neck as he fully looks me into the eyes for the first time. As his hazel orbs meet my brown ones his eyes narrow as if he is confused.
His hand slightly wavers it seems but the chanting of the guards seem to reassure him. He runs the sharp claws across my throat and a little bead of red slides down my neck as does a tear down my cheek.
His eyes narrow now in determination as he goes to slit my throat a voice calls out, "Wait!"
Grayson turns around with an angry snarl, "Who dares to interrupt?"
An older woman who looks so frail just like the rest of us slightly limps her way to us. Before she can get here all the way, a guard grabs her and wraps an arm around her throat.
"What?" Grayson says angrily.
"Please sir. She's not the one. I am please just let her go." The woman says as tears fly down her face.
Grayson studies her for a few seconds before throwing me down to the floor at Maya's feet.
"Kill her!" Grayson says to the guards as he points at the weary old woman.
The guards waste no time on slitting her throat. As the older woman falls lifelessly to the ground she finally seems at peace. The blonde woman's body lays right beside her. I shield Breyon's eyes as best as I can.
"Let this be a warning to you all! I'm at zero tolerance ladies. You step just one toe out of line and I swear it'll be the last thing you ever do!" Grayson says as he looks up and down the line at all the woman.
"Return to your cells!" He yells and everyone rushes to do as their told.
I grab my whimpering boy and hoist him up and grab Maya's hand to pull her along.
Once we're in our cell the door sharply closes after us.
I comfort Breyon as best as I can but he's so worked up.
I'm about to go lay down in my corner when a loud whack makes me jump.
Looking over to the bars I see Grayson with a discipline stick in his hand as he glares at me.
"Make no mistake thirty four. One more inconvenience from you and it'll be your blood that resides upon my claws. Learn your place. Sleeping with all the men will get you nowhere." He says threateningly.
"Yes sir." I say as he leaves.
Maya gives me a questioning look but I just shake my head. Not right now. Now I have to comfort Breyon and pray that I live to see another day.
Things just seem to keep getting worse. I don't know how much more we all can take. We all just have to have just a little bit of hope.
