My Son's Father

Close your eyes, Zeniya

Chapter 17

A hour later, Zeniya laid on the cold floor with her hands bound behind her back in nother but her bra and panties. Scratches and bruises on her face and body throbbed. Her soul cried out as her physical whimpered in pain. She contemplated about her end, will she ever see Kali again? Will she ever see him grow up to become a man? The future looked as if it was being eaten away by acid. The floor was dirty and dusty. The room was dark and smelled like a abandon house. Zeniya thought of Erin. Could this be his act of revenge?

The light popped on as Zeniya's eyes adjusted. The man walked over and aggressively pulling her up on her feet. He took her to the another room and where there was an old dingy couch. He started to undo the rope.

"You do that shit you pulled earlier. I'll kill you, you understand". He told her as Zeniya rolled her eyes.

The man pushed Zeniya down on the old couch. Zeniya landed on her wounded shoulder. She sat up and looked at the man. He was tall, white, built, country, face full of scratches and bruises that Zeniya proudly gave him.

"What you looking at"? He said.

"Just getting a clear picture of you. So the ancestors will know who fucked with their child. I feel sorry for you. They gone fuck you up". Zeniya said.

"Such big talk coming from a bitch like you". He said.

Zeniya her hands in her forehead and begun to mumble to herself. She closed her eyes and mumbled on. Soon, the man grabbed Zeniya up.

"ENOUGH OF THAT"! He shouted, yanking her to shut her up.

Zeniya didnt give in, she continued to pray her prayer. The man got some more rope and tied her hand back up. There was a pipe hanging from the ceiling. He hung her arms up in the pipe. Zeniya mumbling was really starting to irk him. He smacked her face with all his might.

"SHUT YO ASS UP"! He screamed as Zeniya shook her head to the pain.

She under-eyed him and smirked. He grabbed his gun and cocked it. Then pointed it at her skull. Zeniya stared at him.

"What's funny"?

"You dying". Zeniya said as the door busted open. They both looked and saw Joe coming in.

The man shot at Joe, but missed.

"Joseph, baby. You okay"? She said.

"Ashton, let's settle this man! Let my girl go"! Joe shouted.

"Hell nah, come get her"! Ashton snapped.

Joe came out  and charged Ashton as Ashton took more shots at him. Each one was a miss. Joe and Ashton started to fight. Zeniya closed her eyes and listened to the sounds of punches, kicks, painful grunts. She worked her hands attempting to untie her hands. The rope cut her soft skin as she moved around. The rope came undone and Zeniya was free. Zeniya looked around and saw a small board sticking out of the old couch. Zeniya quickly grabbed it and ran over to Ashton hitting his the back of his head as hard as she could. 

Ashton tumbled but didnt fall. He looked back at her and charged her as Joe attacked him again. The fight and struggle continued. The beast that the army created came out to play. Ashton was losing the fight he started. He ran to get his gun. Joe tackled him making him fall inches from his gun. Zeniya ran and got the gun. She cocked it and pointed it Ashton. He had no choice but to give up.

"Joe, do you got your phone. I need to make a call". Zeniya said and Joe got up.

"Yea, look at what he did to you. Are you okay"? Joe said.

"Phone please". Zeniya said giving the gun to Joe.

Joe took the gun apart. Then pulled out his gun. Zeniya got out Joe's phone and started dialing.

****The phone rung and rung. Then a woman answered with a Spanish accent.

"Hey sis this is Zeniya. I know its late. But I have a favor to ask. Is Zaphyire around"? Zeniya said.

"Hold on". The woman said.

"Okay". Zeniya started to wait.

Joe tied Ashton up.

"You think you can beat me"? Ashton asked.

"I know can. While my lady making her call, let's have chat shall we. Let's start with why you coming after me". Joe said. 

"You think you can leave and go to the army or where ever the hell you went with my money"!

"I didnt have your money, Ash".

"Really, I couldn't tell. You left quicker that a ghost". Ashton said.

"Your brother took that 4.8 million. Think about the last time you saw your brother. Think Ashton, why else would he leave the fucking country! You so damn stupid. You took my lady, over some bullshit money. Look at what you did to my lady, man. You paying for that shit". Joe shouted as Zeniya leaned in on the conversation.

"With what"? Ashton laughed off not knowing how serious Joe was.

"With your life". Joe told him.

Joe punched Ashton with all his might. His anger took over as he started to torture Ashton.

Zeniya waited on the phone and the phone as it clicked over.

"Hello"? A woman yawned into the phone.

***"Hey Zaphyire, I know its late. But I need your help".

"What you need me to do, what happened"? Zaphyire asked.

"I got kidnapped and I need you one more time. I'm here in the house. My baby daddy here, but I need this man who kidnapped me gone".

"Say less, send Amber the address. I'm glad you know my schedule". Zaphyire said as she heard screaming coming from Ashton.

"Okay, thank you Zaphyire".

"Hey you owe me Niya". Zaphyire told Zeniya before hanging up.

Zeniya hung up and sent Amber the address. Then she deleted the the message and the call log. She went back in the room and found Ashton bleeding and Joe standing over him.

"Close your eyes, Zeniya". Joe said as Ashton hung his head.

"Joseph"?

"CLOSE YOUR EYES, BABY"! Joe shouted.

Zeniya jumped as she closed her eyes as Ashton screamed more.

She did what she was told. As the sounds of slicing, guts gushing, and Ashton screaming for dear life filled air. Once Joe was done doing his damage, he turned around to checked if Zeniya still had her eyes closed. Zeniya had wide eyes of shock.
