//Faye//

Family;

To say I was terrified was the least, but the last thing I was going to do was judge these people.

They were also victims of his sick twisted game, he captured them for his own happiness; meanwhile he took away theirs.

I looked at the five people, in which they stared back at me. I gave them a sad smile and they looked at me with wide eyes.

Why were they staring at me like this?

"Hi, I'm Rose." A girl around my age spoke as she reached her hand out for me to shake.

She was beautiful, her black hair was long; really long. And her brown eyes were shining, as she pushed her hair behind her ears I noticed; they were quite large.

"I'm Faye." I said shaking her hand.

When my name left my mouth her mouth fell agape.

Why did she look so shocked?

As I was about to ask her Calum interrupted.

"Faye, this is rose as you know." He said pointing to her.

"This is Ashton." He said pointing to a curly haired boy with tattoos cascading down his muscular, tanned torso.

"This is Bri." He said pointing to a blonde haired girl with beautiful green eyes, and four arms.

"This is Luke." He said pointing towards a clown. I cringed at the sight, the horrifying makeup, the painted smile, the look of happiness disgusted me. Even though this boy was probably as miserable as me.

"And this is Michael." He said directing his glance toward a boy with shocking red hair, but there seemed to be nothing strange about this boy.

Michael, there was something about Michael the way his green eyes lit up when he looked at me, the way his frown curved into a smile was contagious making me smile as well, this boy was special.

"Hi." Michael spoke his voice was thick and scratchy.

"Hi." I replied.

"Now Faye, I have some rules, and things to go over." Calum smirked as I gave him a disgusted look.

"First off, never ever try to escape; as you already know. Michael show her why she doesn't want to run away."

Michael gulped and shook his head.

"Show her goddammit!" He yelled.

Michael turned around and lifted up his shirt, I sighed at the sight. There were marks on his back they were purple and red.

Calum walked over to him and hit him on the back. I watched as the young boy hissed in pain, closing my eyes at the sight.

"Open yours eyes Faye." Calum laughed.

"I said open your eyes princess!" He yelled loudly.

He left me no option but to open my eyes. I had to watch as he hit Michaels back over and over again.

When he finished he turned towards me.

"Now wouldn't want that to happen to you, now would we?"

"N-no." I stuttered.

As Calum walked behind me to get god knows what I looked at Michael, his eyes were watery and his glance was sad.

"Are you okay?" I mouthed to him silently

He nodded and mouthed "I'm fine."

Then Calum returned a book in his hand, and a smug smile on his face.

"Hmm Faye, you look so sad. You might wanna put a smile on that pretty little face." He giggled

"You wanna know why you should smile Faye?"

"Yes." I said with such a shakiness in my voice that made it clear; I was completely terrified of this man.

"You'll find out soon enough." He said following with a laugh that would be heard in horror movies; this is a horror movie, that I just happen to live in.

"Let's see Faye you'll have to stay caged with Michael and Luke, even though your not a 'freak', I have no where else to put you. And seeing that Bri, And Rose are placed with Ashton." Calum spoke professionally while looking down at his book.

Caged? What does he mean by caged?

"Ok Michael, and Luke show her to your 'cage'" Calum sighed.

Michael and Luke began walking as I followed them we came to a small, very small 'house'. I wouldn't even say house it was basically a square with a roof.

"This is where you'll be staying." Luke smiled making the painted on smile spread wider, I could tell he wasn't happy but at least the guy gave a smile.

"Thank you." I spoke turning my head a little; as I said clowns and I are just; a no.

"And Luckily the girl who was here before left some clothes, and she looked to be the same size, damn actually she looked just like you." Luke stated.

We walked into the 'house' there were three small beds in the living room, a microwave on a dresser, and a tiny bathroom.

"This feels like paradise." I said sarcastically.

Michael sat on the bed when his back hit the mattress he whimpered in pain.

'Can I do anything to help' I thought to myself then it hit me, if this guys back gets infected he'll get ill.

I ran to the bathroom both boys eyes watching me as I did so, I grabbed a small rag with holes in it but it was the best I could do, lastly I looked in the cabinet and just to my luck there was some peroxide. I wet the rag and ran to Michael's small bed.

He looked at me curiously.

"Turn over." I said as he turned over his back now facing me.

I poured peroxide over his wounds, he hissed, I could imagine how much it hurt. But the last thing we need is a sick guy, what if Calum can't treat him?

"I'm sorry, it'll stop the pain."

"It's okay." The red haired boy said his voice muffled by the pillow.

Soon enough Calum walked in.

"What the hell! You can not help him, I gave him that beating for a reason, he had it coming!" He yelled.

"I'm s-sorry."

Just then he slapped me, I wasn't shocked it's not like he never slapped me.

"Now your gonna get a beating." He giggled turning me to my back. He pulled something out of his pocket;

a whip.

He pulled up my black t-shirt and hit my back multiple times, yes it was painful but I tried not to show that I was hurt.

Luke tried telling him to stop but it done no good, as michael just hid his face in his hands.

When Calum finished, he grabbed my arm forcing me to look in a mirror.

He lifted up my shirt once again, my pale back was covered in red slashes. A tear rolled down my face as I took in my appearance.

Then Calum grabbed my shoulder and pushed me onto the bed.

"Get some sleep Assholes." he said to Luke, Michael, and I.

But sleep was the farthest thing on my mind.

I was going to escape.
