We Are Prisoners Locked Up

Chapter 3

Katherine's POV

After about three hours of driving around, I guess, we were still stuck in the car. They're obviously taking us outside of Malibu. I hope we're gonna get out of this car soon, because it smells awful and it's making me feel sick. I also couldn't stop thinking about my family. My parents, they must be worried sick right now! The boys, I'm sure that they're panicking too, and that they're calling everyone they know to see if they've seen us. Oh gosh... I promised the three little ones that I'll take them to the park tomorrow. Guess that is not gonna happen.

It's a little past midnight, and none of my sisters are asleep. Well, except Lauren. She's still passed out, on the floor. I'm getting really worried about her. Her head is still bleeding pretty heavily, a little less than before though. She lost a lot of blood. Her head is literally lying in a pool of its own blood, which is kind of gross. Laurie's face is also almost completely covered with her blood. I'm honestly really scared for her life.

"Katherine, I don't think she's gonna make it through the night if we let her her head keep bleeding like that. We need to stop it." Christina told me, whispering kind of loufly. Her eyes were on our little sister's limp body, and they were filled with fear and concern. Christina was obviously horrified seeing her birthday twin bleeding out. We all were. Lisa, Amy, and Dani were all in tears as they stared at Lolo's body.

"I know, but how are going to stop it? Our hands are tied up together, and we don't even have a cloth to wrap it around her forehead." I answered back, keeping my voice low. She sighed and leaned her head against a window. She closed her eyes, and I saw a tear roll down her cheek.

"Christina, it's gonna be alright. We're gonna find a way to stop it, to save her. Lauren's a fighter, she'll survive." I told her, in my most reassuring and motherly tone. She just shook her head and sighed once again.

"Are you sure about that? I am pretty sure that they're just driving around to waste our time and to make us watch Lauren die. They just want to make us witness her death, and they're gonna do the same thing to each one of us, up until there's only one of us left. And then, who knows what they'll do to the last person standing? They're probably gonna go after the rest of the family, and then kill them one by one in front of the last sister alive, just to torture her." Christina said, her voice cracking and shaking. Her eyes were open by now, and her tears were rolling down her cheeks like waterfalls. Lisa looked up at us and frowned.

"So... Lauren's gonna die tonight?" my younger sister questioned us, joining in our conversation. Those words made the rest of the girls look up. Christina just shrugged before she started to sob again.

"Not if we can stop her bleeding before it's too late." I simply answered back. They all just nodded, but I knew that they weren't convinced with what I just said. At that moment, the car suddenly stopped moving. We arrived at the destination. I heard the men get out of the car, and I heard their footsteps walking away. Did they really just forget about us?

"Where are they going?" Amy asked us, sounding really confused. We were all about to answer her when the door suddenly opened, causing us to *almost* scream. Three different men were standing right in front of us. They were all shorter than Hulk and his crew, and they didn't seem to be as tough as the others. The shortest one jumped in the car and stood in front of me.

"Turn around." he ordered me. Being the smart person I am, I obeyed him. He cut off the rope that held my hands together and freed them. He then motionned me to get out of the car and to wait for the rest of my sisters. He untied Christina, Lisa, Amy, and Dani, and then ordered them ti get out of the car. They all listened to him and stood next to me.

I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I turned around and looked up to see one of the three men glancing me. He had a sympathetic look in his eyes, and it seemed like he didn't want to hurt us. It seems like he's being forced to do this to us.

"We're sorry." he whispered really quietly, so that only I could hear him. He also sounded pretty genuine. I just nodded and looked back at my other siblings. The man who untied us was carrying Lauren in his arms in like a bridal style. I also noticed that her face was all cleaned up, and that a piece of black cloth was tightly wrapped around her wound. What?

The guy carrying her noticed our confused looks, and just gave us a little, genuine, and sympathetic smile. Well, this trio seems nice. At least they're not all going to hurt us. Thank God.

They led us inside the building and walked through a bunch of hallways, with us following behind. We then finally arrived in front of a steel door. A STEEL door. I heard one of the three men sigh as another one opened it. They then moved out of the way so that we could get in. We walked in, and we all somehow just collapsed to the floor.

I looked around the room and took a deep breath. There was a single bed in like the middle room of the chamber, but besides that, it was pretty empty. There was a pretty small window on the wall facing the bed. At least we'll get to have a little sunlight during the day.

The dude who was carrying Lauren gently layed her down on the bed and walked out of the room, closing the door as they left. Just before it shut close, I saw him look at us, with an apologetic look on his face. Yup, well they're definitely forced to do this to us.

My sisters and I then all quickly ran by Lauren's side. Dani held her pale hand and kissed it. She then held it close to her heart. Amy just gently and slowly stroke her thumb on Laurie's scarred face. Christina, Lisa, and I were all just standing there, watching the younger ones.

Just then, the freaking door opened, and a man walked in, with a devilish grin on his lips. Pretty sure he was the leader of Hulk and his gang. He had brown hair and sparkling, but evil, blue eyes. He seemed kinda familiar. When Christina saw him, she gasped pretty loudly. I guess she knows him.

I'm pretty sure I've already seen him before, but where? Was he a friend? An old neighbor? A classmate at college? I don't know, but I am absouletely certain that we've already met. I remember those eyes, those very special eyes. They always seemed to be a little weird to me. I know I've seen him before, and by how Christina reacted when she saw him, I know that she knows him too.

"Well hello, ladies." he said, in a deep and raspy voice. That voice, I recognize it. I remember hearing that voice before. But who is he? I looked back at Christina and noticed that her fists were clenched, and that she was frowning.

"Why the heck are we here?" my older sister angrily spat out through gritted teeth. Her voice was filled with anger, fury, and hatred. I looked back at my younger sisters and they all seemed scared and confused.

"Whoa, chill down cupcake." the dude snapped back, putting his hands up in defense. Okay, I think I have an idea who it is, and I remember hating him for so many reasons. I remember now.

"Christina, who is that?" Dani quietly asked our oldest sister, fear in her tone. The man heard her and just let out an evil laugh, causing us to jump in surprise.

"Christina! You didn't tell your sisters who I was?" he shouted, still laughing. Christina just sighed in frustration and looked into Dani's big green eyes.

"Well, come on, sugar. Tell them who I am." the guy continued. Dear Lord, he's so freaking annoying. Okay, I definitely remember him. I know him very, very well.

"Girls, this is Drew, my ex-boyfriend."

Yup, I know exactly who it is.
