"How was your little nap, sleeping beauty?" Brendon appeared suddenly.
I didn't answer. He started to walk toward me, and kneeled down to my level. I spat in his face, causing him to slap me.
"Feisty one, I see. Well, we're going to have to fix that...
Brendon went back upstairs after he was done with me. I felt disgusting. Violated. And everything in between. This wasn't the Brendon I knew, but I know that this was his plan all along. To rape and torture me, and to end up killing me.
Last night was just the start of things. I know it's going to be a whole lot worse. Last night was full of yelling. Just me screaming 'stop' and 'no' as loud as I could. And his response was either 'shut up' or 'nobody can hear you, just give up.'
At one point when he was done, he brung me a pair of panties, and a tank top, just so I could have at least something to wear. That was the least he could do after he did this to me.
I couldn't tell if it was night or day, or what, but I felt so tired. But I needed to wash the reminisce from last night off.
Brendon said if I ever needed to take a shower, there was a bathroom to the far right of the room. So I tried to lift myself up off the ground, but that was no use. I just fell back down with a loud 'thump'. Fuck. Thanks a lot Brendon.
After I crawled my sore ass across the ground to the bathroom, I saw that there actually was a light, and turned it on. I slowly peeled my clothes off and looked into the big mirror in front of me. I looked like a complete mess.
I was horrified. Bruises and cuts scattered all over my body. My hair was matted down and tangled, and I looked slightly on the skinny side. Brendon hasn't given me food for a long time now. I was starving.
I turned around and got into the bathtub, turning the hot water on. I grabbed the soap, trying to wash last nights activities off. But the only thing that came off was my dignity. After a long time of washing and getting clean, I turned the faucet off.
I stepped out, and took a towel from the towel holder to dry myself with. I put my clothes back on, turned the light off, and started limping back to the pitch black room.
I walked back into the corner, where I curled up, and tried to drift to sleep. It wasn't even 5 minutes until I heard the door to the basement open.
"So, why exactly are we coming down here?" An unfamiliar voice said.
"You'll see" Brendon voice boomed.
I gasped, and felt tears welling in my eyes. I just wanted to leave.
When the footsteps got to the bottom of the stairs, the lights came on, nearly blinding me.
"C'mere" Brendon motioned toward him and the other guy standing next to him, who was obviously nervous. The guy was really tall, and I was afraid to approach him, but I did anyway, not wanting to get myself hurt. Again.
I slowly stood up, and limped toward them. When I got to them, Brendon introduced me to him.
"Scarlet, meet Dallon" He smiled sheepishly.
Dallon looked me up and down, eyes widening.
"What happened to you?" He bent down to my level.
I just pointed to Brendon, and backed away. Dallon stood back up and faced toward Brendon, horrified.
"And me is correct. I did this to her, and you are going to be down here with her too, facing all the same challenges, dealing with her crying ass, and dealing with punishments. I will be back tomorrow morning to set the rules and boundaries. See ya" He pushed Dallon to the ground, like he always does to me, and left. He slammed the basement door, and I heard all the locks being locked.
Dallon just sat there, shocked. I ran back into my corner, not wanting to take any chances with him, just in case he was going to hurt me too.
He stood up and started walking toward me.
"Scarlet, sweetie, it's fine. I'm not a bad guy. I want to help you, please" He said softly.
"P-please leave m-me alone" I stuttered.
He kept walking toward me, and I stood up, trying to stand up for myself.
"It's okay, it's okay" He put his arms in front of him, resembling peace.
"NO! STOP!" I yelled.
When he was nearing me, I turned my head, and tears poured out of them as I started to sob. Dallon approached me, and hugged me.
"LET ME GO! HELP!" I squirmed a bit.
When Dallon didn't do anything to me, I gave in. I hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.
"I'm so, so sorry he did this" His voice quivered.
He pulled away from the hug, and I sat down, head in my hands. Dallon sat next to me. He pulled me into another hug, trying to calm me down. I slowly pulled away after a moment, and lifted my head up.
"Thanks, I-I really needed that" I said, my voice small.
"You're welcome" His warm smile making me smile a bit also.
He put his hand on my face, and used his thumb to wipe my tears that fell. He then started to lean in, and kissed me, passionately. I kissed back. Hopefully I will be safe with him by my side. Hopefully he will protect me from things that Brendon is going to do to me.
After a moment, we pulled away, and we put our heads against each other. I was getting really tired, and I could tell he was too.
"We should really get to sleep. Brendon is coming down here tomorrow, and we need to be prepared" He said, and I nodded in response. We slowly got into a comfortable sleeping position together, and cuddled.
We lay in each others embrace for awhile, and I finally heard Dallon's heart beat steadying, meaning he was asleep. I just cuddled him, taking in his warmth. After a while I managed to fall asleep.
For once I actually felt safe down here.
