Chapter 29

Chapter 29

The man continued petting her for two minutes straight. Darcy's did not dare breathe for those two minutes. His hand was greasy against her freshly washed hair. His face got closer to hers. His breathe smelled like he did not brush his teeth for five days straight.

Darcy's POV:

"Come on, baby." He breathed in my face. His breathe was horrible enough for a elephant to fall over to the ground and die. Relieved washed over me when he stepped two steps back.

"Cosí Carino." (So pretty) The guy spoke and smiled. Black tar covered his teeth. Another man stood next to him.

"Come è la ragazza?" (How is the girl?) His head turned to face him.

"Sembra spaventata." (She seems frightened.) He laughs at this statement.

Confusion swarmed inside me. I didn't know what they were saying. Then, the conversation went back to English.

"Goodbye, my pretty darling." Black Tar spoke and left, along with his friend. He left.

*Some time passes*

Darcy's POV:

I don't know how much time has passed. I don't know if time has passed. All I know is I'm in a dark, cold room with despair circling me like warriors waiting for the right moment to strike.

I haven't had anything to eat or drink. Do I smell burgers? Or is that burritos? Or is it pasta?

I get up from my sitting position and walk towards the door. The smell gets more intense as I walk. It's most definitely is burritos. I slide how the door, my hand is on my stomach and I just realize how hungry I am.

I also realize I need to get out of here. I search for a window. I notice a small one. It was just enough space for a human to get through. But it was too high up. And even if I was to escape, where would I go? I have no way to contact help.
The door opened. It was Black Tar.
"Here's some food from Del Taco." He said, showing his black teeth. I open the bag. It had five burritos.

As if reading my mind, he said
"We were originally gonna give you nothing, but Boss said we had to feed you. Something about human decency." He left. I ate those delicious burritos within ten minutes. Then,I fell asleep.
