Ember's POV
Calm down Ember you're ok.
He's not here, nothing has happened yet just breathe girl.
I was laid at the bottom of the stairs surrounded in complete darkness and absolutely terrified.
This room was my worst nightmare, nothing good ever came out of being locked down here. I wanted to be upstairs even if he was there, I needed to get out of the dark.
The room was so cold that my limbs had began to lock in place. The only source of heat I had was the blood seeping from my head.
I had passed out during my fall when my skull had cracked off one of the steps which I was glad for as it meant I didn't have to face the darkness just yet. I wasn't sure how long I had been out for but looking out the small window I noticed it was late in the evening.

I could feel an attack brewing inside of me.
Soon it would become even darker and I would still be all alone.
I had been petrified of the dark ever since I was a toddler because I always got the feeling that something evil was waiting for me and would only strike when I was stripped of sight.
Like I did every time I was scared I begin to sing through my sobs.

"Hang on to the world as it spins around
Just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self respect, your manly pride
Get yourself in gear
Keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me, someday we'll all be free, yeah"
(Sasha-Walking Dead suicide song, anyone? I sobbed my heart out long after the episode! Please someone relate)

"I see you're awake little doll!" I heard his voice crackle through one of the speakers.
"Go away!" I called back weakly not wanting to face him.
Tears began to leak from my eyes at the thought of being trapped in blackness with his voice being the only thing I could hear.
My head was pounding in pure agony and I wasn't sure the extent of my injuries.
Was I bleeding out?
Would I die?
I also didn't dare move in case I aggravated any bones I may have broken. Even after all these years I still wasn't used to the pain that came with broken ribs. You think I'd be used to the beatings too but no I still felt every single blow. It was like my tolerance for pain had went down not up.

"You have been a very naughty girl lately Ember Rose and daddy is becoming increasingly frustrated with your behaviour but if you apologise and promise to be good then I may release you ahahahaaaa" Mr J laughed in a bored tone.

I bet he was loving every second of my pain. Maybe my fear of him was one of the reasons he kept me around. I was nothing but his entertainment.
"Apologise?" I whimpered.
"Yes little doll I'm waiting!" He sneered making me flinch.
If all he needed was an apology then he would get one!
I'd do anything to get out this room and back upstairs.
Yes I was going to apologise.
"Daddy I'm so....." I started before stopping myself.
"Continue you're almost there girl! Do it now!" Mr J demanded

No
NO!
NO!
'I don't care how scared you are Ember you will not apologise to that man' I screamed at myself internally.
He didn't deserve anything from me especially not a sorry.
This is all his doing!
I wasn't down here because I had messed up, I was down here because he had messed up and didn't know how to solve the issue.
I knew how he could solve it, by telling Melody to get fucked.
I didn't care if she was 'innocent' in this anymore.
I hated her guts!
Poor Harley, she must have felt this way with me and I was so stupid back then to think it was ok to make him choose me when he should of been with his true queen. Harley was happy now so even though things had turned out bad for me I was glad everything was going perfect for her.
Was this karma?

"NO!" I suddenly screamed as loud as I could.
It was like he was in the room with me as it suddenly became darker and a chill bursted through the air hinting that a storm was about to explode into the room.
"What?" His voice was as cold as black ice and I found myself trembling at the sound of it but I needed to stand my ground once more.
"I will not apologise to a monster like you! You deserve nothing from me!" I sobbed uncontrollably trying my best to sit up and look fierce but sharp shooting pains in my left side stopped me.
Yes, I had defiantly broken some of my ribs.
I knew he could see me I wasn't stupid to not think there were cameras.
I bet I looked a right horrible mess and he was probably proud.

"Well you can stay down there and rot! I'll make sure to tell Diamond her mammy has left her ahahahaaaaaa!" Mr J cackled in the most malicious tone I had ever heard.
"No please! I'm sorry there I said it I'M SORRY! Please don't......LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS YOU BASTARD!" I wailed slamming my fists into the ground.
"Too late little doll you've made your choice, have funnnnnn! Ahahahaaaaaaa!" He cheered before laughing as he grew further and further away from the speaker.

"No! Get up! GET UP!" I screamed at myself mostly from pain as I forced my body into a sitting position.
I was going to get out of here!
My baby....I needed to see my baby!
She was so poorly and now he had the nerve to tell her I had left. If only she was old enough to understand that I would never leave her on purpose. Only in death would we be separated and I would NOT die down here!

I was wheezing and breathing extremely hard as I began to crawl towards the stairs. They were only a few inches away but it felt like I was on the other side of the room.
I wanted to give up!
The pain was too much but this was not the time to be weak.
I needed to fight for my baby!

Finally reaching the bottom step I gripped it tightly for a few short moments while I gathered my bearings.
This was going to be a long trip.
Griping my side in the effort to ease a tiny bit of pain I began pulling myself up the splinted steps with my free hand and jelly legs.
That's when it started.........

I remembered the sound so well.
That bastard had put the continuous laughing tape on knowing it would drive me to the brink of insanity. Ever since I had first heard it, the 'song' had haunted every single nightmare.
Bile collected in my throat as it got louder and louder making my ears ring in agony.
I couldn't quit now!
"Focus Ember!" I whispered to myself, trying to pull all my body weight up.

I had gotten half way up but it seemed like the stairs would never end.
My body and mind were completely exhausted.
I was trying so hard not to give up yet I found my body winning the battle.
My vision was becoming more blurred, my form more heavy and just as I was about to reach for another step my arm slumped down along with the rest of me and everything went black once more...........
