Being the Weakness

Chapter Five

Chapter five: now in chains

I wake up on the cold hard floor. I move my arm to push myself up from the ground but freeze when I feel the shooting pain come from my arm and my back. I shut my eyes and bite my lip as I try to relax as much as possible but I can't. Looking at my arm I realize that my once white outfit is now covered in dried blood and it has ripped from the whip. After being tortured and beaten, being held captive doesn't seem so bad but both have happened to me.
My entire body floods with pain as I sit up off the floor. A cracklings noise comes from the floor and I then realize that I'm chained to the floor. A metal band is wrapped around my foot and chains fall from it chaining me to the ground. I'm so scared I can't even think straight. My whole world is falling apart. Everything is so wrong. I don't know if I'm ever going to get out of here. Not being able to hold back the tears anymore I let them flow down my face. I wish I was back home with Audrey and Michaela. I wish that James was here, but I know that that won't happen.
Looking at the walls and the metal table in the center of the room I realize that I'm still in the dark room. I try to see how bad my wounds are but there isn't enough light. I look around the room to see if anyone else is here but I don't see anybody. My stomach grumbles and I remember that I haven't eaten sense yesterday. I hear a girl scream from outside the room and it gets louder as she passes the steel door that locks me in. Two male voices trail not to far behind the screaming girl and then the lock on the door clicks.
I stiffen and my eyes widen with fear as the door knob turns letting Mr. Blight enters the room. I try to scoot to the back of the room as far as my chains will let me but I know that he will still get to me.
"Hello again Caroline." he say to me across the room. As he gets closer my stomach starts to hurt but not in a hunger type of way like before, but a nervous kind of way. Like butterflies in my stomach. "Are you ready to tell me the truth now or do we need to have another session?" he asks calmly as if he does this every day.
"I told you I don't know where he is." I say softly trying my best to stop crying. As I dry up my tears with my hands I ask, "Why do you want him so bad?"
"Because he has something that I want, and when I want something I get it!" He looks at the ground for a minute and then comes back up to face me. "He will come to us anyway so it doesn't really matter, does it?!" He laughs to himself but I don't get it. "Send him another video!" he shouts at the man standing by the door. Mr. Blight then walks out the door and two new men walk in. The camera man from yesterday and another large man walk into the room. What did they mean by 'send him another video'? Who was 'him' and why are they sending this person videos I me being tortured?
WAIT!!!
Could it be JAMES?!?!?!!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!! My eyes widen and I freeze.
Suddenly it hit me. If they are doing this to me, then what are they gonna go to James??? And what will he do? Will he come and help me? ...or trade places with me?
NO!
I couldn't imagine what they would do to him. I feel a whip hit my arm and I fall to the side and scream. Tears fall down my face but not just because of the pain, but because I know that James is in trouble.

Heyyyyy! I just wanted to apologize because it has come to my attention that I CANT SPELL!!! I hope that everyone who has started reading my book likes it so far and will continue to read it. I have another book that I've been working on since august but I won't post it on here because I have other plans for it. (it's a lot better than this one)
BACK TO THIS BOOK! I NEED HELP!!! what do you all think I should do as James' secret? I'm not sure yet so maybe you all can help me choose. Please comment! I know it's kinda action stuff right now but just wait until you meet James! He will be coming in soon and the real drama will begin. Do you think I should write parts in James' perspective? So please be patient while I'm working on finals and I'll try my best to write more!
Thx ily!
