The Royal Kitten, Liela *Slowly Editing*

Chapter 44 "Losing Hope"

(A/N authors note at end. Plz read.)
Lielas Pov
I wake up from my nap in this cage.
I do t like tight spaces. I'm not claustrophobic, I just hate cages.
It doesn't feel like the walls are closing in on me. It hair feels like I'm trapped and I'm not free.
Which technically, I'm not anymore.
I gave myself up. I gave up my freedom. For them...

Tom turns the corner to a wall full of torches and weapons.
I see blades, daggers, throwing knives, swords, guns and much more.
These people must be really cocky if they think there isn't a way for anyone to escape.
If anyone of their prisoners got out and over to this wall there would be a lot of vamps dying.
I smirk evilly to myself. Maybe I could try that?
"Alright princess, the boss will be down to see you in a couple of days. We torture prisoners every day for a few hours. So be ready kid. You've got a lot ahead of you." He chuckles.
I stay quiet. I don't want to talk to these people. Correction, I won't talk to these vamps.
I honestly didn't mind vamps at first but now I see that they are ruthless and uncaring creatures who only care about what their 'boss' tells them to do. They kill humans for their own purposes and they kidnap innocent people for no reason at all!
I close my eyes as he carries the cage into one of the small cells.
He opens the cage and demands for me to shift. I just sit there and shake my head.
"Shift now ya little brat!" He growls out.
I don't respond.
"Shift!" He yells at me, trying to use his 'powerful' tone.
Still, silence.
He grabs his hair and pulls on it roughly while growling.
"Stop being a brat of a wimp  and shift!" He scream.
I sit there licking my paw as I close my eyes ignoring him.
My eyes were still closed and I regret that. My eyes shoot open as his foot collides with my ribs.
I slide across the floor and my back hits the wall pretty hard.
"Shift!" He yells.
I attempt to get up but I fall back down. I'm to weak right now to shift.
He stomps on my front right paw and I hear as my bone cracks.
I fall again. I see a pool a of my blood surrounding me.
I use the wall as a support to get up. When I'm finally up, I attempt to shift.
I'm half way through shifting when I hear my ribs cracking in an unusual way. I fall to the ground at the verge of tears.
Don't give in,
Don't give in Liela!
Okay, I can do this.
I finish shifting and Tom smirks.
He walks over to me and I slowly sit up on the wall.
He punches my face, sending me to the cold stone floor.
I slowly make my way up again.
"Aww, I'm sorry. Did I hurt the little princess?" He mocks in a baby voice.
I don't answer him and that only angers him more.
"Answer me b****!" He screams in my face.
I don't flinch. He'd only be happy to get a reaction from me.
He spits in my face and I painfully wipe it off.
He punches my left cheek again. Once I'm on the floor, he steps on my right arm again.
I scream in pain but don't cry.

I squeeze my eyes shut and hold my breath.

"Deka? Deka please help me. It hurts so bad!" I say to her.
I wait for a reply, but I don't get anything. I get a sudden chill as I think of all the things he might have done to Deka.
I snap my attention back on tom. He smiles as he leaves.
He walks out of the cell and slams the door shut. He takes out keys and locks it tight. Once I know he's out of sight I scoot to the back corner of my cell.
I bring my knees up to my chest, careful for my sore left leg and my most likely broken arm.
I hug my knees with my left arm and cry silently into them.
I lean my head against the stone wall as I carefully loosen my legs.
I sit here in the corner of a cell, thinking to myself.
Why do I deserve this?
What have I done for me to possibly deserve any of this?
With that thought in my head, I make my way to bed.
By that, I mean I struggle to sleep for hours on end as I lay on the freezing stone with only my arm as my pillow.

*3 weeks later*

I've lost count of how many days I've been in here.
Everyday is the same routine.
I wake up from 30 mins of sleep in pain from my last beating.
I wait for a tiny piece of bread and a shot glass of water. 
I only get those once a day if I'm not disrespectful.
Which I don't see how I can be if I haven't even said a word here.
I guess they find it rude when someone doesn't answer questions they ask.
Apparently every time I don't react I get beat worse and get no food nor drink for a week.
So, I haven't eaten for 2 weeks.
I refuse to react to them or talk to them.
I'm trying to be strong and not break.
The only thing they've affected on me are all of the cuts and bruises.
The only thing that won't change for a while is my voice.
I won't talk. I can't. I've tried once when I tried to stop him.
I tried to pry him off. I struggled to get out of his hold. I punched him.  He was just to strong...
They inject something into me every morning to make sure my strength doesn't return. I get 5 times as much as they're supposed to give me. At this rate they might kill me or Deka.
Yeah so, in the past few weeks I've become mute, gained a broken arm and leg, I'm bruised, I have so many cuts and scratches, and I got- I can't say it. It's too hard. 😭
How will Jake react when I tell him?
Will he still love me?
I'm only 13, and I might be pregnant with a vamps baby.
I really really hope not.
Tom won't leave me alone since then. He waiting to see if I am.
I pray that I'm not.
Even if I am, I won't be able to last.
That's the only time they've gotten a reaction from me.

Just thinking about it makes me sob.
I should've stayed with Jake.
This would've never happened! It's all my fault.
Jake will never love me now.
How could he love me now...
I'm a broken and used person.
I am nothing anymore.
I lost Deka, Jake, my friends and my family.
I have no one. I'm all alone in this small empty cage.
Will they ever find me?
