Fathers Dues

chapter 6

I woke the next morning, tired and actually on a bed. I shot up and looked around, no on was there, in the room with me. I let out a sigh of relief when I found that Snake wasn't in the room. But, that sigh turned into a scream when I looked down on my left hand.

Snake came walking inside, sat down beside me and started to kiss my neck. I didn't even know what he was doing to me because I was too hyped up about the fucking ring on my finger. Diamond ring? I went to take it off but Snake grabbed my hand and yanked me forward.

"Till death do us part." He smiled and I just looked at him, then at the ring, back at him.

"What'd you mean, death do us part?" I asked, yanked my hand out.

"You know what that means, you've seen movies, wedding movies." He said, almost whispering just to get on my nerves.

"NO! W-we can't be, I don't remember...." I trailed off. "You drugged me?"

"Of course, I knew you wouldn't say 'I do', unless you were high." Snake smiled, ear to ear.

"I HATE YOU!!" I screamed and clawed at his face.

People came rushing in, pulling me off him. I kept screaming when they injected me with heroin, but I stopped when the rush came. It felt so good, it calmed me down, everything was going to be fine. Wait! What am I saying, he forced me to marry him, and know he's going to kill me. I thought.

"That wasn't a smart thing to do, baby." Snake hissed out the words as he wiped away blood from his face. I did that, hey, I got him good. But, that means he's just going to get me even worse back. I had to stop it.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted my fix, please, don't hurt me." I begged.

"Begging and lying, not a good thing to do young lady." He whispered pulling me by the hair until I was pushed in a cage.

Snake locked it up and put the kegs in his pocket. I screamed for him to let me go when he started to walk away, but all he did was grab another girl and kiss her. This, I noted, was going to be an open- and abusive- marriage.

I sanke down to the floor of the cage and weeped, I was never going to see day light again. I was never going to see my back stabbing Fahter again. Oh god, I was never going to see my Fahter, ever again. I started to shake when I heard footsteps coming toward me.

I looked up and saw Snake, he wasn't done with me yet, even though he didn't do anything in the first place. He opened the cage and pulled me out, before we started to walk, he threw me against the wall and kept bagging my head.

I moaned in pain and slumped down on the floor when he let me go. I fell onto my side when he started kicking, I winced and yelped. Then, suddenly I felt a knife, up against my arm. I started to shake my head, and close my eyes, waiting for him to cut it right off.

But all Snake did was jabb it into my shoulder blade and twist. I screamed for my life, it felt like he was going to twist all my mulcles into a role and pull them out. But, he kept the knife in and demanded me to stand.

With everything I had left, I stood and he grabbed my bad arm and wretched my forward, I cried out in pain. But, I kept walking, he would have killed me if I didn't. I was placed in a chair, cold, I knew it was cold by how it felt on my sweating skin.

"So, we have some good news, your Father, he changed his mind. And, he's going to pay double, too. That's enough to kept you alive until he comes and gets you." Snake smiled.

I said nothing, just nodded. Snake hit me, across the side of the head. I winced, and took it.

"He'll be here shortly, behave." He hissed.

I nodded, again, and he hit me, again, but on the other side of my head.

I didn't know how much time had gone by, but when my Father came, he looked scared, and worried. He was brought to me, Snake had the duffel bag in his hands now.

"See Doctor, we keep our promises, but only if you keep yours. Count them." Snake handed the beg off to Chad and he started counting.

But, when Snake and Chad were busy, my Father rushed over to me, grabbed my chin, just to make sure I was real. He checked me, everywhere, even you know that girl place, and he looked at Snake, Snake only smiled.

"Money is all here, you can leave, and take her with you, she was no fun anyway." Snake hissed and took the ring off. "I'll burn it, baby."

My Father carried me out the door, and started running when he hit the ground outside. I noticed why when police officers went running inside the building. Someone took me away from my Father and into a car, white and red with flashing lights. I was going to live, but do I want to? I asked myself.

"Don't worry, we're going to get you help." Someone said, starting to hook me up to an IV.

"NO!!!" I screamed, and thrashed out, convulsing.

"Shit!" Somehow they got me to stop and I whispered. "No meds, heroin.. he gave me.... need to.. out of... get..... system." My words weren't even in the right order.

"Alright, I need 20 ml of....." The voices trailed off when my eyes met the darkness.
