"Wakie wakie" Someone snarls as I sit up. I look round, looking down at my clothes, theres splatters of blood up the legs of my jeans and I look at the man behind the cage in confusion.
"Where am I? What am I doing?" I ask, looking for my backpack or knife.
"Wheres my bag?" I ask, putting my hands on the bars.
"Its over there, safe, your weapons have been taken from you, just in case you decide to try anything funny with one of the others, he says, nodding to the left. I look left and see about 6 others in the cage, sleeping.
"What...who are they?" I ask and he smiles.
"Our lunch" He laughs and I blink in confusion.
"Your...Did you ever know someone named David?" I ask, looking behind him and he nods.
"He was our leader, but I'm the leader now" He says and I push back, landing on my bottom and I push myself against the wall.
"Don't worry little girl, I'll keep you safe" He says and I stand up.
"David said he'd 'keep me safe'...look where he ended up" I say and I look at his face turn from the face of a happy man, to one whos angry.
"Ellie?" someone says and I turn, seeing a face I didn't feel like seeing.
"You killed David?" He says and I stare at Finn.
"Finn...I...He tried to...He tried to rape me...He wanted me for dinner! And he was going to feed me to you!" I say and I look at the man behind the bars.
"Don't worry little girl, I'll keep you safe" he says and I turn and see Finn running at me.
"He kept us safe!" He shouts as he pins me against the wall.
"He gave me no choice!" I shout and I lift my knee into Finn's abdominal.
"You little bitch" Finn says, pulling back his hand and slapping me across the face, my face going dumb and I fall down. I curl up as he kicks me hard, his feet like boulders on my body.
"Calm yourself!" Someone says, getting up and walking over, grabbing Finn and pushing him away.
He leans down towards me.
"You're the first female..." He says and I sit up, my body hurting all over.
"Ellie, I need you to stay calm, collected and I need you to help us...We need you to tell us whats going on out there" He says, holding my gaze. I look away, scowling at the now awoken group.
"Why? How do I get out?" I ask, and I see the man behind the bars has left.
"Every night, we open up the vent, sending out men to scout, however, theres a hole on the other side, and we're all to big to get through, we need someone...well your size" He whispers and I nod.
"Keep them lot away, and I'll see what I can do" I say and then suddenly the man and another man, holding a meat cleaver walk in. The man I was talking to whispers, "I'm Graham" Before moving back to the other men. I stay leaning against the wall.
"Who wants to go next?" Says the meat cleaver guy and I raise my hand.
"I'll get killed next" I say and he laughs.
"I don't think so little girl" Says the other guy and I frown.
"I'm Jules by the way, and this is my friend Jamie" He says as Jamie runs his hand over Jules back, and down to his ass. I raise my eyebrows and then look at the other guys.
