Sworn to Secrecy

The Discovery

A/N hey guys! So I won't be updating frequently this week bc of finals😭😭 but I will try to make my updates longer❤️

I walk into a dark room. Cobwebs and empty beer bottles scatter the room. This place is gross.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Says a cruel looking man. "We were expecting you." Tiger's grasp tightness. I guess he's the main man.

"We found 'er on Finland Ave." Says the kind-looking accomplice. I will nickname hime Bear.

"Put her with the others." The main man says with a smirk. Tiger leads me to another bigger room. I see newspaper in the corner of the room. "Newspaper. Now." Tiger growls. I take a step when I trip over something. Looking down, I see a tiny girl and boy huddled together, and shivering. They look like twins. When I take in my surroundings, I notice about three other children. Slowly I tip-toe to my "bed", careful not to wake up any children.

Once Tiger leaves, a girl who looks about ten whispers to me, "Hello. I'm Mary." "I'm Jenna." I reply.

"Your probably wondering what this place is." Mary says. I nod my head. "Tomorrow, I promise. The one with the scar on his eye will be checking on us any minute." "Ok." I say with a smile. I hear footsteps coming closer to the door. Did he hear us?

Tiger walks in the room. I close my eyes pretending to sleep. Thankfully he turns away after scanning the room.

~~~~~The Next Mornig~~~~~

I wake up to the sound of Bear. "Get up kid, the boss expects everyone up and ready." He looks at me with a hint of sorrow and regret in his eyes. I stand up, my legs could barely move. I felt dizzy. Mary gestures for me to stand next to her.

"Alright beasts. I'm Rick, and you will respect me. You, the one with the ugly hair, come here." Rick says pointing to me. "Your new. Let me give you the lay of the land. I'm the boss, you will obey me and if you fail to do so, you WILL be sorry. Am I clear?" "Yes sir." I cringe. His breath smells of cigarettes and alcohol . He pushes me back into line.

Tiger walk in. "Alex, Alexandria, Mary, John, and Ann."

"Here" they reply. "You, what's your name." Tiger asks, in a raspy, tired tone. "Jen-Je-Jenna." I stutter. It's hard to breath with all this dust, I can barely talk. "Follow me. Brat." Tiger says.
