Out of time

Punishment

I've  been here almost a year now. I have not done anything bad. I've been doing good. I want to escape but I know I can't. Hopefully one day I will. I've been praying a lot so far none of my questions answered like : why did I end up here? Why? I work eat sleep. Work eat sleep. Nonetheless I still wake up to living hell.

"Wake up!" Samantha yelled repeatedly. She shook me violently. I dazed. I looked around the room everyone was there except....
"WHERE COLLIN?!?!" I asked.
Everyone pointed out the window. I ran to the window. I gasped as tears fell.
There he was stepped with his arms wrapped around the pole and the "master" behind him with a whip. He didn't look bloody. Yet.
"He tried to escape." One of the boys tried to explain. I didn't care I ran out the door.
"Wait!" Samantha yelled.

I dashed down the stairs outside. Everyone worse followed. I stood outside the door with everyone else.
"Come ahead. Watch. Little twerp tried to escape." He said looking down at collin.
He raised his whip. I didn't know what to do. But this was my best friend. I ran out in front of him. "NO STOP!" I said. I closed my eyes and braced my self.
"You stupid girl! He tried to escape. He deserves it." He spat

I have had enough of this. "He would have never tried to escape! If you weren't who you are. It's not like it's our fault we ended up here!" I boomed. His mouth twitched. He blew a fist to my face. "Don't you ever talk back to your master!" He screamed. His face in front of mine
"I have been here for almost a year. I'm 14 now! I deserve freedom." I yelled back.
He grabbed me by the Neck and dragged me. I fought to escape. He pulled me to the other side of the pole and tied me up. My face next to Collins as we were both on different sides of the pole. He looked at me. Tears fell from my face. A single tear fell from his.

"If you insist on being brave you can go first" he grinned. I wiggled one of my tied hand in more and took ahold of Collins. We both looked at each other with fear in our eyes. The others stood motionless. I heard him raise his whip. I breathed in and braced myself.
CRACK!! The whip cracked.
Leather laced leather ripped into my skin. I let out a yelp of pain. Collin looked at me. He was crying too.
Another crack and more pain was sent into my back. There was a couple cracks until he stopped. He spat into my back which made it sting more.
He moved to the other side of the pole. I was covered in blood.
He raised his whip. I can't let him whip Collin.
I kept spitting and wiggling my wrist and surprisingly is slipped through. I did the to the other wrist too. I used the pole to help me and my bloody body stand. I looked up. He was about to whip him. Sprinted toward. Each step a lurching pain but I would not let this happen to Collin. I tackled him down and used all my strength punch him. He put his had to his bleeding lip. Anger filled his eyes. He turned over and put me under him as he blew punches to my face. I tried to cove my face with my arms. I back stung against the ground. This pain was excruciating. I got a glimpse of everyone else. They all just stood there mortified. I heard Collin yelling at him to stop. I had to fight back. I used my leg to bring it under and kick him then I stood up. He laid on the ground for a second then stood up too.

"How stupid are you?" He asked as he sprinted forward at me. I quickly picked up a prickly stick off the ground and as he got near I slammed it into his face. He screamed in pain just like I did when I was getting whipped

"That's it!" He yelled. He grabbed a fistful of my hair. He jerked me inside and threw me down some steps and locked the door.

Was this gonna be the bad punishment? I looked around for a lights switch. I glider my hands on the wall. I found it and switched it on.
I saw a cement cellar was what I was in but that's not what mortified me.

A chair. Wrist and angle straps. A neck strap and wires.

A shock chair
