Chapter 13: Alyssa's Pain

Alyssa woke up with a kink in her neck. "This is not a way to sleep," she mumbled. She turned when she heard the door open. Roger stood there with a grin.

"Good morning, Beautiful," he greeted.

"Let me go, Roger. Cole's going to find you and when he does, he will kill you."

"I haven't even done anything...yet."

She tried backing away when he went to touch her. "Come on, Alyssa. You know that this is right. Your path is supposed to come to me. Not to that pathetic traveler," he sneered. She then glared at him.

"That 'traveler' is more man that you could ever be," she snapped.

He then grabbed her face and glared at her. "We'll see about that," he sneered. He pulled her into a kiss and forced her mouth open. He straddled her waist and then he pulled out of he kiss. Alyssa closed her eyes trying to block out everything as he undid her blouse. "So beautiful," he murmured. When she tried to fight back, he slapped her hard across the face. When she tried again she yelped when he punched her. "The more you cooperate, the less pain there is to it," he told her.

"Roger, please don't do this," she begged.

He stopped what he was doing and he touched her face. "This is the only way to prove to your precious Cole that you're mine," he answered.

"You're disgusting," she hissed.

"Well, that's life, sweetie."

Tears fell down her face and she knew that if she struggled, it was just going to take longer and it was going to be worse. She just let out whimpers every time it touched her. Every time he touched her, it felt like ice cubes were thrown onto her body.

An hour later, he put her clothes back and left. Alyssa whimpered as the pain finally hit her hard. She felt pain go through her arms and her thighs. "Cole," she whimpered. She then fell asleep with tears on her face.

That was the routine during the next two days. Roger would come in, finish up his fun, and then would leave her alone. The only time she had a break was for eating, sleeping, and bathroom breaks. That was it.

Two days later, Alyssa was trying to escape when the door came open. She gasped when it was Roger. "Hello, my sweet," he greeted.

"Roger, you've got what you wanted. You were able to get me. Now please let me go," she begged.

"I can't do that. Then you'll go back to that pathetic boy."

"That boy is the love of my life. I will marry him once he finds me and gets me out of here."

Roger laughed and sat next to her. "You know, you have too much confidence in you. 'Cole's going to save me. Cole's going to teach you a lesson.' Yeah, I've heard about it two days in a row now. And you know something? I'm going to tell you what's going to happen as soon as your precious Cole finds you. I'm going to corner him and then I'm going to blast his brains out of his head," he laughed. Alyssa gasped and then her torture came again.

That evening, Alyssa was trying to free her wrists when she saw a sparrow sitting by the window. She prayed that the sparrow would see her and would go to Cole. She then saw the sparrow look at her and watched as it flew away.
