Her Addiction

Chapter Nine

The day was as normal as could be, started with a quiet morning and the usual routine. Charlene would never have predicted that she would end up hurt and running for her life in the woods.
The woods, how much she hated them.
Class camping was the worst experience she had as a kid, she always tried to make reasons not to go but her workaholic parents hardly listened to her complaints, they signed off whatever paper permit she brought home without reading them. Once she wished she would give them an emancipation document and they would freely sign it and set her free to make her own decisions. As always she went on camp trips and came back more frightened than she had been before, her classmates knew her fears and Cynthia and Mark the class bullies always made sure she cried during camping.

Charlene has a natural love for books, she read anything that comes her way and spends most times fantasying about the places she read, and every summer when her parents asked her to suggest a place for vacation, she always said a place she imagined, though she wasn't always lucky to go to places she suggested.
Growing up, she deviated and became solely addicted to romance novels, reading about men who came and professed their love and fought until their charms won the lady over, and they would live happily ever after, she lived in that world, and never dated anyone she didn't see as a potential Prince charming.
But quite unfortunately some Prince Charmings cheated on her or where more interested in her money, she didn't make much as an editor but her inheritance made her seem like a princess, nevertheless her perception of life and love never wavered. she held on to her Romantic notions that one day the man of her dreams would come along.

When she met Aaron she confirmed he was indeed in her dreams, he looked breathtaking and was ready to whisk her off into the sunset, he didn't seem interested in her money but spent so much on her that at the end of their first date that lasted a whole day, she couldn't help but agree to go home with him on their next date the next day, She never knew it was a home no one ever came out from. Now she was running with the little strength she has left in her.

Been in captivity had made her stop believing in happy endings and princes, but this realization came too late and that was her only regret.
The day had begun with the usual rounds Aaron made, since he was entertained by Prisca the previous morning. He chose her for the afternoon.
The entertainment for the day included been blind folded and tied up naked on a spreader bar with her wrists and ankles restrained, he would use the violent wand on her and she would scream which he oddly found arousing, he would apply the nipple clamps tightly to heighten her pain and make her moan in agony, he may even climax just from watching her screaming in pain.

A sexual sadist was what the book called it, having lived around books she understood Aaron more than other girls would have understood him, she knew what made him tick and she played her role well, often giving in to her screams and pain in order to make his release come faster, it helped her lessen her torture time and she bled less than usual, she only recognized the routine after a year in captivity when she finally stopped putting up fights or begging for release and hoping a knight in shining armor would come save her. She realized her mind was the only weapon that would save her from breaking apart in misery.

Aaron usually rewarded her after entertainment by allowing to shower and be in charge for the day, cleaning and serving others, it was some form of freedom compared to been tied up in her dark room. And she savored every moment of it.
Now among thorns in the bushes she wondered what made her succumb to Prisca's plan of escaping, it was a well thought out plan except that Prisca forgot to mention they were going thru the woods, along the way they split ways and lost each other when Aaron started to shoot. Now she is stuck alone with all her fears of the woods heightened,

'it would soon be dark' she murmured to herself 'I have to leave these woods
She turned and started to move before she heard a shot. It took a moment for the pain to register and she slumped.

Though it was a normal day, she never would have thought she would end up in the woods wounded.
'I have always known I would die in the woods' those were the last words that crossed her mind before she finally slipped into unconsciousness.
