Revenge

F i f t e e n

I spent the night down in the basement. Zander didn't come back. My body was still sore and aching from the blows he delivered. I sat in the corner of the room once again, frightened of the darkness that surrounded me.
My stomach rumbled from the lack of food. But I pushed it away and my thoughts developed me. I thought of my mum and dads faces, what they're doing right now, if they were looking for me, if they were as sad as I was.
I thought of Axton, and what was so important that he left me here with a stranger, that he let that stranger do whatever he feels necessary, even if it means torture.
I fiddled with the hem of my shirt, trying to distract myself from the pain throbbing throughout my body. But it was useless.
With nothing to do and the exhaustion from the day settling in, I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

I woke up when I heard the door above the staircase slam open. Startled I jumped up and looked towards the door. When I saw Zander descending the stairs I felt once again the aching of his hits.
"I'm bored, so let's have some fun." He said sadistically, grabbing the chains attached to my neck and pulling me up. With the sudden pull, my knees wobbled and I collapsed to the ground. I was malnourished and in pain.
"It hurts." I whispered, trying to contain how hurt I was really feeling.
"You're no fun." He continued, "that's ok I'll get some food into you and you'll be as good as new."
Zander pulled on the chains once again and just before I was going to drop, he slid his arm around my waist and supported me. Together he walked me up the stairs and towards the kitchen. 
He let go of my waist and once again I slumped to the ground. He walked to the fridge and opened it up. I closed my eyes as a form of comfort.
It wasn't long after until I heard Zander marching back towards me. I was quick to open my eyes and saw him towering above me with a sandwich and a cup of water in his hands.
"Now little pet if I give these to you, you better obey me for the rest of the day. Understood?" He said.
"Yes" I croaked. Zander passed me the food and drink and I downed it as quick as possible.
Zander smirked at me as he watched me finished.
"Now we can have some real fun." He chuckles.
Before I could stand up, Zander had a hold of the chains and dragged me back towards the basement.
"Ow, Stop, Zander. I'll walk." I cried out as my hands and knees scrapped along the hard timber floors. I reached out for the chains but we had already reached the top of the stairs. Zander stopped walking and I pushed myself up from the floor preparing to walk.
"Pets don't walk, now get back down." He spat shoving me back to the ground. I muffled a cry when my knees hit the floor.
I crawled down the stairs with Zander tugging the chains once again.
After he dragged me into the room, he dropped the chains and grabbed his bag which he left from the day before. He pulled out some rope and I crawled to the corner.
"Zander please don't do this, I haven't done anything to you. Please." I pleaded, but Zander was not listening.
He kneeled down in front of me and said, "maybe you haven't but I'm okay with that."
He gripped onto my wrists and wrapped the rope around them. I tried to struggle but it was no use.
Zander tied rope all around my body in weird ways and I couldn't move at all. He then pulled me up and attached some rope above me to a latch that was drilled into the roof. I was now hovering above the ground and the rope ripped into my skin.
"Let, let me down." I whimpered. But he didn't.
He grabbed a gag and wrapped it tightly around my mouth. 
I cried and he laughed.
