I looked up to find three dark shadows surrounding me and whimpered in fear. The tallest took a step forward and gave a massive chuckle that rumbled my bones and I screamed. He threw his hand over my mouth and spun me so that my back was pressed against him. I felt hot breath against my neck and then there was his voice in my ear, dark and deep and terrifying.

"Now doll, there's no reason fer you ta be screamin', we ain't here to harm ya." The voice was a slur of darkness. "We're just lookin' ta have a good time. You can understan' that now can't ya? Ya see we ain't had a pretty little doll like ya 'round here in quite some time. And ya can't imagine that we'd let that escape our notice now would ya?"

A tear fell from my eye as I whimpered once more and suddenly his voice boomed from above me.

"Alex, Jeremy! Go get 'The Room' all nice fer our lady frien' here. I want ta get to ta know doll firs'. We'll be there in a bit."

"Yes Boss!"

"You got it Boss!"

The two disappeared and I was left alone with the dark dangerous stranger. I felt his breath return to my neck and when he spoke shivers of fear fell through my spine.

"Now tell me Doll, what is yer name?"

"You're not privileged enough to know my-"

He gripped my hair and pulled my head backwards towards him causing me to yelp in pain. Then he was there growling threatening words into my ear.

"I repeat, tell me yer damn name before make ya scream in agony."

"Anabelle! It's Anabelle!"

"Good girl. Mine is Bruce. Let me hear it coming out of yer pretty little lips. And don't ya give me no trouble this time."

"Yes.. Bruce." His name was dirty on my tongue.

He gave this inhuman laugh of delight at hearing me say his name.

"Now Anabelle," My name sounded dirty on his lips. "Don't move. If ya do, ya surely will regret ever doing so."

I gulped in fear and he let go of me. I stood there panicked wondering what he was going to do to me and fearing what he meant by 'The Room'. I jumped when he put something over my eyes cutting off my sight and then again as he put something else in my mouth and secured it there, forcing me into silence. I was terrified. Abruptly he was leading me somewhere. I distinctly heard the sound of a running vehicle become louder as I walked. After what felt like an eternity of walking, though it was likely only a few minutes, he stopped me and I recognized I was standing next to a running vehicle of some sort.

"Now, Anabelle, it's time to go to 'The room'."

I shook my head, I didn't want to go anywhere but far away from this terrible man.

"Oh ya shouldn' have done that. It'll only make things more difficult fer ya."

Suddenly he was there with one arm around my body and the other with something soft against my face. I smelled something sweet and after a few breaths I began to fade into unconsciousness. I awoke sometime later with only my undergarments on and chained to a metal four-post bed frame that was missing the mattress. I faintly heard arguing in the distance then let out a startled yelp when the argument stopped and footsteps approaching the place where I lay exposed.

"Quiet now! I don't need him hearing that! It'll  make it worse." There was a shadow of remorse that crossed his features before his eyes hardened.

I shook my head vigorously and tried to speak only to find that I was still gagged.

"Awe do you see that Alex? She's trying to talk to us."
