Part 2 - Redemption

Ambers p.o.v

I lay on the bed frozen in fear as his hand brushed along my waist and across as a finger swirled back and forth over my stomach. I screwed my eyes up tight.

"You're not like the others" the man began in a thick northern accent.

"What do you mean?" I gulped in little above a whisper.

"I mean, the others, they're confident, they like what they do, but not you... You act as though you don't want to be here?" The man said, his hand still tracing swirls on my stomach. I swallowed hard but I didn't reply, his hand stopped.

"You don't do you?" He gasped, sitting up and looking at me. I just looked at him with sadness in my eyes and saw the regret shining in his own.

"What's going on here?" He asked, swinging his legs out of bed and pulling on his trousers, frowning at me.

"My parents..." Was all I managed to force out of my trembling lips as a tear trickled down my cheek.

"Hey, what about them?" He asked, sitting down on the bed and awkwardly patting my shoulder, "I'm Max by the way" he sighed, offering his hand for me to shake.

"Amber" I sniffled, shuffling into a seated position and met his hand in an awkward shake.

"Hi Amber, so give me a clue what's going on?" Max said, shuffling closer, I met his green eyes and saw the real concern they expressed. I took a deep breath and began to explain to this stranger my life story, with the hope that maybe, just maybe he could help us out of the hell hole...

"Molly" I gasped at the end of the story.

"Who's that?" He asked, frowning.

"The girl across the landing" I replied, eyes wide open, he'd probably had sex with her by now.

"Oh shit, Toms in there with her..." Max said, jumping to his feet and swiftly crossing the landing as I followed, scurrying across the floorboards with my bare feet and into the darkness.

*knock*knock*knock*

Max knocked on the door and I waited anxiously by his side.

"Come in" the man who Max called Tom shouted in an even thicker northern accent.

"Awh it's you?! Are you done already? This place is shit, is that the other one they've sent up to me?" Tom said pointing at me, I gasped and Max out his arm around my shoulder.

"What do you mean other one? Mate where's Molly?" Max asked as my eyes grew wide seeing her empty room.

"Molly, is that her name? Well, she was just lay curled up when I got in here and she wasn't really doing what I wanted her to do. She was just lay there, you're not supposed to do that in these places. So I went downstairs and complained, the man came up and fetched her and said he'd sort her out..." Tom trailed off, obviously seeing the expression on my face. My body began to tremble and tears began to fill my eyes.

"Amber?" Max asked, stepping in front of me and placing his hands on my hips to balance me.

"What?" Tom asked, getting up off the bed.

"They're going to drug her..." I whispered, sound barely escaping my lips.

"Whoa what?!" Tom gasped.

"Take her outside, where will they be Amber?" Max called, walking towards the door.

"The basement" I whispered, still not moving.
