Caught in Chains

Information

The music had been so incredibly loud, the floor had been unbearably sticky and the air had been uncontrollably thick.

Everyone was rubbing up against each other and acting like animals. The smell of alcohol was putrid; I never understood the enjoyment people gained from drinking. You acted like a fool, said things that were true but you wouldn’t say when sober and the inner slut comes out to play without your knowledge.

I thought tonight would be fun and different. It’s August 10th and everyone wants to party, it also happens to be my 15th birthday. I have never had a party for my birthday, but though I might go to a party that was already planned for all of our friends.

At this point in the evening, I was walking home from a party. I’m not really the partying type, I like to stay at home and read a books. But tonight I decided to go out, I was never allowed to when living with my parents. Father and mother were tough; they weren’t really parents at all. 

Walking in the dark was never my strong point, actually anything to do with the dark I wasn’t good at. I don’t remember a lot of my childhood, I’m not sure if it was because of trauma or I’ve taught myself to forget. Only every so often I will remember miniscule and insignificant parts of it, but I do clearly remember being in the dark a lot and that’s why I have always been afraid of the darkness.

I could hear footsteps behind me and started to speed up. The fast I walked the faster they walked, each corner I turned was the same corner they took. It was ironic for me to be in this situation since I got away from my parents just short of a year and already I’m in danger.

I had constantly fought my battle to prove that I am responsible to support myself and here I am being chance by who know.

“OI! Frank I think I found the girl boss wanted us to take out.” I shivered at the sound of his voice; it was deep but also slightly slurred. This man was drunk.

I wasn’t far from home I could actually see my house in the distance; so close but of course so far away.

“Well this is going to be easier then boss said Sam. I thought she was a lot older. The way he spoke of her seemed like she had lived many lives. Never knowing what personality she’ll wear today. I swear she was about 30. Not a teenager.” Said another man, which I was guessing was Frank and the one that found me was Sam. That’s when a third guy came out.

And this guy wasn’t old at all he was only a year or two older then me, had never seen him before. But he did look like someone I know. Walking up to me he had a smirk on his face, but it didn’t look like it belonged there. He walked with a powerful aura but he definitely wans not the boss. He seemed to be powerful and hold himself with confidence but I could it was a front. Not the person is actually was or wanted to be.

He was tall, a lot taller then me. He had a shaved head, not too short, you could see he had brown hair and he had brown warm eyes. He had his lip pierced, which gave him a bad boy look to him. Though his eyes were far too warm for him to be bad.

“Listen I don’t want to do this, you are too beautiful and far too young for this, but what the boss wants is what the boss gets. I’m so sorry, I’m not going to do anything to you, but I can’t stop what happens either. If we ever meet again, I won’t expect you to forget what goes on,” he looked like he was in so much pain, I knew he was putting himself on the line telling me this, but at this point in time… I had no idea how to take this information. Something was about to go down and I had no idea if I was going to make it. ”But please try to forgive me… if you can’t I completely understand.” Taking a step back his smirk returned but his eyes were torn. Once he stood up that’s when I noticed the tattoo on his right forearm.
