Chains Of Blood

Chapter Nineteenth

Maia woke up in the middle of the night and walked into Matthew's bedroom. She saw him, he was still quite ill, she turned away and walked into Jonathan. "You should be in bed", her brother hissed. "So should you", she hissed back at him. "I'm older than you Maia, I'm not living in your shadow, you are living in mine and our father's", her brother explained. Maia seemed to be lost for words but she tried to walk away from her brother, but he pushed her into the wall.

"Jonathan, Matthew is sleeping, you need to keep it down", she whispered roughly at him. Her brother sighed, "I will deal with tomorrow, so don't think you will escape this one". He walked back into his bedroom, Maia rolled her eyes in frustration. She slowly walked to her bedroom, to not disturb Matthew. Then she tucked herself into her bed, and shifted her body to face the wall, which was away from the door. Then she fell asleep, peacefully.

*FLASHBACK END*

Maia woke up back in her father's basement, she cried out "Oh my god, when will end?". She saw chains wrapped around her ankles and wrists as well. She hated small rooms, she was very Cleithrophobia, she hated feeling trapped. She tried to slip out of the chains but they seemed to be getting tighter every time she tried to move. "No...no...no...", she screamed out. "I can't...Jonathan", she screamed out, then she started to cry.

Her brother came into the basement, she turned around and growled at him. "Sebastian, let me go", she roared. He ignored her and started to walk closer to her. The door behind him shut by-itself and she couldn't see anything, it was pure darkness. The only thing she could hear was her brother walking down the staircase. His boots were pounding onto the floor as he was walking on metal. She felt him come closer towards her, Maia didn't know that they were inches apart.

"You know I do anything I want to you, right and no one is going to stop me", he breathed. She shuffled backwards into a wall, she started to whimper as she was hurt puppy. "Maia, you are such a child...", he roared. Maia snarled at him, barring her teeth at him. "Don't treat me like that", her brother roared. Maia looked down at the floor. "Let me tell you something, little sister, I was the one who infected your little girlfriend, she was going to die anyway, it was just the matter of her just dropping dead or her killing herself", he breathed out, like it was nothing.

Maia stood up to her feet and aimed to slap her brother, but he grabbed her and twisted her so the back of her body was against the front of his. She was pushed into an dusty wooden and glass table. It smashed into millions of crystals shards. The wood was turned into splinters due to how old it was. Sebastian drove her body down into the glass and wood. It stabbed the back of her body, she cried out in pain. "Stop...please", she begged him, "...it hurts so much", she cried out. Sebastian holding his sister down, he in bedded the glass and wood into her skin, she stopped moving. She couldn't fight back anymore, she just stopped, she gave up, she let him do anything he wants to do to her once again.

Maia pulled Sebastian away from him and she picked up the metal pole which was leaned against the table and she smacked it across the brother's head, she fell on the floor, he was unconscious. She fished in his pockets for a key to unlock her chains. She found a key in his back pocket and unlocked the lock on her ankle. She was free.

She stepped backwards and the floor felt hallow beneath her. She saw a cover on top of it, she lifted it and saw a trap door, she stepped backwards and unlocked the trap door. She jumped into the ditch and she couldn't see anything and she looked upwards and saw the cage door above her slammed shut. She grabbed the bars and saw her brother and her father smiling grimly at her.

"Let me out", she yelled, she shook the bars and she collapsed on the floor. She saw them growl at her, she crawled away from them, deeper into the tunnel. The tunnel became smaller until she reached the end and found herself on the other side of the house. She crawled out of the small space and found herself in a storage room. She scanned the room to find a door, to her luck she had found one. She walked through the door, once she had opened it and saw her brother down the hallway. She ran in the opposite direction and she found herself at door which was locked, it was leading to the outside, and she could see people just walking pass her house, she knew she couldn't be seen by them. She stepped backwards, her brother seized her by her shoulders and felt blood trickle down her back. Maia shivered as he touched her. She turned around to face her father. He saw the bloody state she was in. "You're a mess", her father said. "I know", she growled back at him. Her father grabbed her by the wrist and sat her down onto a chair. She was asked to remove her shirt by her father. He saw the glass and wood in bedded into her skin, he wasn't surprised. She braced herself for the pain she was about to get. Her father took his surgical tweezers out of his pocket and he cleaned them, and he started to pick out the glass and wood on her back. "This could of been worse you know, I guess the t-shirt keep you from any real damage", her father said.
