I was tied up in a chair, my mouth was covered and I was in a dark area, I'm guessing a basement.
"You're awake!" The devil herself smirked. I nodded fast as I closed my eyes tight. I felt a stinging pain shoot through my cheek. "Look at me or you will get another slap, bitch!" Nora yelled. I opened my eyes and looked at her pleading for her to let me go, she ripped off the tape that covered my mouth, I cried out in pain.
The only thing I saw in her eyes was hate, darkness, a lifeless soul, a monster. Pure blackness in her eyes, like you are getting sucked up into a deep dark hole. A black hole! Nora stared at me with nothing but pure hatred. "Now that things are different this is where you're staying and be happy I'm giving you company, with your friend Laura!" she snapped, narrowing her eyes on me. My eyes widened with happiness. Nora snapped her fingers and two huge man came out carrying Laura. "Ashley, this is Dave and James. They are being payed to watch you guys when I go out, so don't think you have anymore chances of getting out of here!" Nora exclaimed. I nodded fast, the men threw Laura to the ground.
"Ow" Laura hissed. Nora un-tied me and then grabbed me by my cheeks, squeezing me, her nails digging into my cheek bones. "Listen and listen good, if you want to live to see tomorrow you will start listening, you don't want to be punished. Do you?" she asked with an evil grin plastered on her face. I winced at how tight of a grip she had on me, she tightened her grip making me cry out in pain. I shook my head violently, Nora tilted her head to look at me "Good" she let go of my cheeks and then turned on her heels.
"Make sure they don't get out of here, if that one right there does anything or try's anything don't be scared to give her a punishment" Nora stated, pointing over at me. The men both nodded, Nora trudged up the basement stairs I heard a slam of a door and I knew she was gone. The men just stood there watching our every move.
"Laura, are you okay,?" I asked. I crawled over to Laura.
"I'm fine, really I am" she reassured me giving me a small smile.
"What did she do to you?" I questioned with concern.
"Nothing, she didn't do a thing" Laura replied, her eyes looking down at the gash on her right arm and left leg. my eyes followed hers and I gasped.
"Oh my g-
"Ashley, really I'm fine. Don't worry about me" Laura said. I shook my head
"This isn't fair, she can't do this, were living people! What person in there right mind can just pull out a knife and just slash someone?" I whispered/yelled.
"That's the difference between her and normal people, she's not in her right mind. For god sake she never had one to start with" Laura whispered, lowering her voice as she spoke the last sentence.
"You knew her before this?" I questioned.
"Ya. Believe it or not, her and I actually use to be close. Rosie and my daughter Lisa were very close also" Laura explained. I furrowed my eyes together
"What happened?" I asked. Laura looked down at her thumbs as they twirled around one another.
"Uh..well you see, Nora's husband always had a thing for me and we all went out drinking and I got a bit tipsy and he did as well and well things happened. Long story short Nora found out and from then on she's been kind of loopy" Laura answered.
"So that's why your here..." I said, she nodded. "I don't get it, why am I here?" I mumbled, Laura shrugged.
"She's crazy, who knows" Laura murmured.
"A lot of whispering going on over there. Something wrong?" One of the guys called out.
"No. Not at all and if there were it wouldn't concern you" I sneered.
