Author's Note:

Quick warning, this chapter contains content about sexual assault and violence. I'll put a brief summary of the chapter at the end for anyone who wants to skip this one.

"Wake up... Kanna, wake up!"

I slowly opened my eyes. "Liam? Is that you?"

"She's awake!"

A blurry figure came into view above me. It was a tall man, with brown hair.

He looked back behind him as he called out to someone I couldn't see. "Hey! Come see her!"

A few other people stepped into view, all of them hovering over me. Their facial features were still blurred and unfocused. I squinted, trying to get a clearer picture. One of them was a woman. She held a cup up to my lips and tipped it back, pouring liquid into my mouth. I choked on it, but she kept pouring until the cup was empty.

"Haha, look at the bitch choke."

Ice ran through my body at her words. I felt a rough hand run up my thigh. No... My hands started shaking as I realized what was going on.

"Are you gonna have some fun with her, Rick?"

"I sure am..." A hoarse, scratchy voice filled my ears as full panic set in. I tried to sit up, but found I was strapped down to a table. My legs were spread apart.

"Hey, let me join in the fun!" Another voice joined the chorus. It was followed by laughter.

I tried screaming, but just as I opened my mouth something was stuffed inside it.

"Shhhh, little pet, we're just getting started... save your voice for later." The woman whispered.

I let out a muffled scream as I felt a sharp pain.

"You know something honey? I'm surprised you're still alive after all that." Rick threw me down into the bathtub. He pushed back his brown, fluffy hair as he glared at the floor. "I'm pretty upset you got so much blood everywhere, though. You're gonna have to pay for that." He reached across me and twisted the knob on the bathtub. Hot water ran down my neck.

I couldn't feel anything as I watched the tub slowly fill with red water.

Rick watched with me for a couple minutes. He surveyed my beaten, bruised body. "You know, now you're a little too damaged for my taste. I might just let you drown in that bath water."

And then he turned around and left.

I watched as the water rose. It was covering my knees now, my head was resting next to the spout, right below the edge of the tub. I felt drained, I felt tired. Rick was right, I didn't know how I was still alive at all.

And after all that, I was certain that death would be a much better outcome than what would happen if I stayed alive.

"Rick, what the hell!" The bathroom door slammed open and the woman stormed inside.

"Trixie, come on, calm down..."

Trixie screamed in frustration as she shut off the water and pulled me out of the tub. The water had just reached my lips. She dropped me on the floor. I didn't feel any pain.

"Do you know how hard I worked to get this girl for you?" Trixie said, placing her hands on her hips and gesturing to me. "She's just your type, and she was the perfect target! Look what you've done to her! You're supposed to savor the bitch, not waste her all in one go! And you're definitely not supposed to just kill her after only raping her once!"

Rick rolled his eyes.

"Marty hasn't even had a chance with her yet, you're so goddamn wasteful! And you covered her in so many cuts, what the hell? What sort of sadistic bastard are you?!"

I closed my eyes. The darkness that greeted me was calming, settling. It was so much more relaxing than the thunder of Trixie and Rick's voices.

I wish I could've stayed in that darkness forever.

Author's Note:

Sorry for the intensity of that chapter you guys, Kanna's past will all start making sense soon.

Anyway, for those who skipped past it, here's what happened:

Kanna wakes up tied down and is raped and cut up by this guy named Rick. He's accompanied by a loud, angry woman named Trixie, and another guy named Marty. Rick almost leaves Kanna to drown in a bathtub, but Trixie pulls her out so that she can still be "used" by Rick and Marty.

Thank you so much for reading! I know these past couple chapters have been particularly gruesome, I made sure to change this story to "mature" recently. Please vote and comment, it means a lot to me! Thank you!
