The Torcher Cell

Chapter 4 - (Meeting Elli and the Minion)

''WAKE UP I SAID''!.

I startled as Samuel's raspy voice reached my ears. I shivered, as though, ice had replaced my spine. The cold air around me, enveloped the entire body. The multiple layer of clothing could not protect against the deathly cold .I looked around,The thin strips of wallpaper showed little trucks. Crayon markings scrambled upon the dirty wall where wallpaper used to stick.this wasnt my home.I was still roped ,but this time i was tied on a chair.The room looked dirty,haunted,wrapped in darkness with few rays of sunshine coming from the top window.I looked up towards the devil , with my eyes half closed and half open.Behind him stood a thin man,who seemed to have been studying me as if I am some sort of a  sciencific experiment.The guy stood their quietly,without uttering a word.

''Who is that? your minion in crime?'',I questioned,looking at the quiet person.My answer was a slap in the face,it went across my cheek and a sharp pain radiated through my face,. My mouth widened as everything clicked into place. 

''He is my youngest brother bitch,next time you try to show your unwelcome sarcasm,I will not only hit you but break you jaw,so please mind with the words.''

I looked away as I shut my eyes,wishing again that it was just a dream and at any moment,Bill will walk in the living room with coffee in his hand.I looked at myself,my body seemed worse than a dead person's body.There were bruises on my arm,neck,thick dried blood on my face,and a cut on the thigh,which I hadnt noticed before until now.

''I am hungry'',i simply replied ignoring to all the nonsense that Samuel had just blurted.

''Ask for forgiveness ,first'',he looked at me and crossed his hands over his chest.

''Apologize? for what?,you are the one who has been beating the hell out of me,smashing me ,slapping me,keeping me hungry for no reason,and I am the one to apologize?''.

''I speak again,apologize to ME and Finn,RIGHT NOW KRISTEN''!,his voice echoed in the room.

I looked at Finn and apologized quietly.Samuel hit my chair with his leg ,causing the chair to fall.I tripped and my head smashed against the rough ground.

''Next time,I am not even going to give you a warning'',with that he left with Minion Finn.

I tried pulling myself away from the chair but it was no use,until I felt a soft hand against my leg ,untying the thick ropes from my feet.I looked up to see a girl with soft blonde hair, dark eyelashes and rosy cheeks.She looked the same as my age.

''What?are you hear to beat me too?''

She looked at me with her glowing ocean blue eyes.''No Kristen,I am here to help you''.

''Help me?,you have got to be kidding me'',i couldnt help,but be sarcastic;a second go I had no hope of even being alive the next day and then this unknown girl comes from nowhere and she wants to help me? .

''Why,dont you want help with this situation of yours,or do you like being beaten around?''

''Oh, I'm sorry, was that a joke?,I am not in a mood of any Missy blonde''

''You are as sarcastic as Bill said you are'',she smirked.

''Bill? did you say Bill? You know him? are you guys friends?''

She looked at me at a panic mode ,''I said Finn,not Bill,you are mistaken'',she replied as she helped me get up,and untied my ropes.

I pulled her towards me harshly,''Look,I am not in mood of your ridculous jokes or riddles,I havent lost my senses till now ,I am not damaged from inside as much as I look from outside.I clearly heard you say Bill not FINN,Finn and I havent even met uptil today,then how does he even know me! ANSWER ME''!.

''Sit down Kristen,and I will explain you everything,but for the first half hour I want you to sit down quietly on the chair and let me take care of your dressing and bandage.'',she replied in a demanding tone,without flinching at my scream. I decided to listen to her ,but I didnt trust her.

''What is your Name''?

''Elli,now take these 2 apples and eat them,I wasnt able to find anything else for you to eat ,so I hid these apples from Sam and Alex ,and bought them for you,I hope you like them''.I took the 2 apples quickly ,and started eating them quickly.

''You dont need to eat in such a hurry'',she stared at me and cleaned my leg and head wound.After a few minutes when Elli was done,she sat across me crosslegged and continued looking at me with a sympathetic look.

''Thankyou Elli,can you please tell me now that how do you know Bill''?

''I just know Bill by his name and that he is Samuel's,Finn's and Alex's cousin brother,thats it and that also through Sam,I didn't know your ex-fiance personally ''

I smirked, ''Ex-Fiance? He is not my ex yet,He just doesnt knows that I am trapped in here by his so called brothers,Bill will come and rescue me ,I am sure about that,we will have our happy ending''.

''Its better for you,if you forget him Kristen,Bill is never coming back again''...
