Slaughter
Katie's eyes slowly opened.
Her ears were ringing.
Her head was pounding.
Her hands were tied together with duct tape, as were her legs.
The room seemed to be spinning.
She felt like she was gonna pass out.
When her eyes came into focus, she could see Maggie and Carol sitting across from each other.
She could see their lips moving, but she couldn't hear their voices over the sound of her ears ringing.
The sound slowly stopped as her body came back into full consciousness.
"Oh look, this bitch is waking up," Michelle, who had knocked Katie out, said.
The woman had her gun pointed at Maggie.
The man, Donnie, was sitting on a wall by the door.
The redhead, Paula, was standing in front of the door.
The other woman, the one who had restrained Katie, Molly, was smoking a cigarette in the corner.
"The baby!" Carol cried.
"Molls. Put it out," Michelle said.
Katie slowly sat up.
Maggie looked at her intensely, trying to silently see if she was okay.
The puzzle pieces started coming together in her head.
Their captors knew about Maggie's baby.
Katie assumed that they were unaware that they had two pregnant women in their midst.
"Well, good morning sleeping beauty," Paula said sarcastically.
"Put her on the wall," Paula ordered.
Molly dragged Katie's weak body backwards towards the only empty wall left.
"You have no idea how badly I want to kill all three of you," Paula sneered.
"The only thing you're gonna be killing today is time," Katie said hoarsely.
"An attitude and a pretty face will only get you so far," Paula snapped.
Katie smiled sarcastically.
"You think I'm pretty?" Katie asked in a mocking tone.
Paula slapped her across the face hard.
Katie turned back to look at her, licking her bottom lip in rage.
"From what I hear, you'll be a valuable bargaining chip. Preggo over there, too. Rumor has it, you're the wife of the leader. Rick? Yeah, that's it. Rhymes with prick. I bet you he'll do just about anything to come in here and save you," Paula said smugly.
