The Girl With Secrets

1- Imprisoned

Ryder's P.O.V

I pull on the chains trying to get free but they don't budge. "Don't bother" I hear a weak voice say. I look up to see a thin girl chained to the other wall diagonal from me. In the dark space I see bruises on her. "I've tried that already" she adds. "Where are we?" I ask trying to make out the dark room. "An abandoned building on the docs" her voice is weak and sounds pained, "Who are you?" I ask softly returning my gaze to her "My name is Amelia. Don't fight them they'll hurt you" she quickly finishes as a door opens lighting the room up but blinding us. I try to adjust my eyes but can't. I see two shadows walk in one going to Amelia the other to me. I watch her carefully as the man bends down to her level, she's sitting on the floor, I assume too weak to stand. "Now now pretty girl don't be so stubborn" the man says grabbing her face roughly as she tries to look away. "Leave her alone" I say my voice echoing in the room. He snaps his head to me standing and walking over "What you think you're strong and mighty in those chains?" He mocks me "Its time to eat" he says kicking me hard in the stomach. I hunch over the pain rushing through me. He walks back over to Amelia unlocking her chains as someone does the same for me. They shove us out of the room and up some stairs into a kitchen with a connected dining room.

They make us sit at the table as they put a sandwhitch in front of both of us and a glass of water. They leave the room and I hear them walk up some stairs. I look over at Amelia now seeing how thin she really is. Her skin is pale she has bags under her eyes bruises and scars everywhere and you can almost see her bones. She scuffs down her sandwich that I assume is peanut butter and jelly. I slide my plate over to her seeing as she needs it more than me. "What are you doing?" She asks surprised "You need it more than me" I say taking her empty plate so it looks like I already ate. She doesn't hesitate to eat it and she finishes her glass of water as do I. "They only feed us once a week and that's on Wednesday" she says grabbing my plate and glass as she tries to stand. I grab her waist to stop her from falling and I sit her back down "tell me where they go" I say taking them from her and standing "glasses in the sink and plates in the garbage" I stand doing as told and sit back down "I'm Ryder" I say holding out my hand she takes it her small hand boney. "What year is it?" She asks looking up at me "2018" I say and she gasps "I've been here for 5 years" she has tears in her eyes but they down fall. She quickly blinks them away looking forward as we hear foot steps.

A younger boy walks in about 20. He looks at Amelia with dark eyes grabbing her arm. She already knows what's coming as tears run down her cheeks. She flinches as he touches her "come on darlin'" he says pulling her up from her seat "NO please no" she begs but he pulls her hard toward the upstairs. "Let go of me! Ryder help hes going to rap-" he slaps her across the face and I stand rushing over to her side and I punch the guy. He lets go of her and she falls hard on the ground. A guy grabs me from behind bring9 my arms behind me as the guy punches me hard in the stomach. He then turns to Amelia as she tries to scoot away from him her back hitting the wall. They toss me to the ground kicking my stomach. "Please don't leave me alone" she cries as he grabs her arm pulling her up and out of the room as she pleads.

Amelia's P.O.V

I plead and beg as he pulls me into the same room he usually does. "Shut up you bitch" he whispers in my ear as he slaps me. He then throws me on the bed tying my arms and legs down. This time he was too eager. He straps a gag around my mouth and starts to pull down my sweatpants. I toss and turn trying to stop him but he holds down my hips with one hand pulling off my pants with the other. I try screaming but its useless. I feel his cold hand at my core and tears roll down my cheeks. I struggle with the loose ropes finally getting them off. I dig my thumbs into his eyes shoving part of the blanket in his mouth so he doesn't scream. Then I kick him hard in the dick pulling on my sweatpants. I unlock the door sneaking out untying the gag and running down stairs hiding under the table. I see men walk up the stairs from the basement and after they walk out of the room I rush down to find Ryder. I push open the last door and hes there tied to a chair. I rush in untying him "how did you escape??" He qeustions but I ignore him pulling his hand for him to get up. He follows as I pull him to a room down the hall as we hear people coming. I shut the door rushing to the corner of the room "help me" I whisper pulling at the cover of the sewers. He pushes me down first as we hear them coming closer. As the door swings open he jumps down and we start running. I can't keep up falling in the mucky water. "Get on my back" he whispers lowering to the ground for me. I do as told holding on tight as he starts running.

Soon we get to a door and he opens it. It leads to a subway. People stare as we walk into the light. A train pulls up letting people off as he walks on. We sit in the back keeping space from other people. "Are you okay? Did he do anything?" He whispers and I look up at him only nodding. "Its okay now ill get you home" he whispers and my eyes began to feel heavy. I lay my head on his shoulder as sleep takes over me.
