Saving The Devil

18. Swiped From the House of Colours

The sleep over at Britney's wasn't as eventful as you might have thought. Why? Because we were knock the hell out! Or atleast Britney was.

Apart from the hassle to get her up the stairs, inside the bedroom and out of her heels, everything went quite smoothly.

I found some travel size toothbrushes in her bathroom--which turned out to be the blue room--brushed my teeth and removed my make-up by washing my face. Since I wasn't sleepy however, I headed down stairs and turned on the TV.

While it was booting up, I decided to check on Chello and others to ensure everyone was home safe. Their replies came soon after. 

Still no reply from Tia though.

Shak: Sorry I missed ur show babe! I'll make it up to u 2morro night. How does ice cream and a movie sound?

I was about to respond but my inner voice threw me a punch. 

So he bails on the biggest night of your life, then ignores you all day and you're letting him off the hook just for some ice cream and a damn movie?!

Accepting the blow to my pride, I slowly lowered the phone.a2 I should have been a priority tonight yet just like that, he blew me off!

Without so much as an explanation!

So I threw the phone to the other end of the sofa, released an exaggerated sigh and I felt my inner self smile. I wasn't going to be sad. I had to learn to stop pinning my happiness on everyone else's presence.

 I always knew the time would come again when it would be just me, right when I was getting use to the feeling of not being alone. Again, it was just me. "But not right now!" she smiled.

 Now it could be Just me, Meredith, Christina and the entire Grey's anatomy cast! I had been dying to see this episode anyways. I was so trapped waiting to see if Jackson would ruin the wedding and begged April to leave her fiancee at the alter. To beg April to choose him.

The scene was about to unfold the answers my heart yearned for.

But all I saw, were the flashing colors of the rainbow dancing with stars and wheelchaied unicorns.

Some Time Later

"Wake up you dumb bitch!" then I heard water hit concrete, followed by Britney's horrified scream.

By now, I had started to come to my senses although I seem to have lost one. I couldn't see shit!

"Britney!" I screamed, but just like that dream, my voice was only a whisper. I had this funny feeling atop my neck and when I tried to lift my head of it burn like hell!

"Don't try to speak bitches. It won't do you no good. The drugs will run thin soon then boss will be here for talking!" Then we heard iron doors slam.

"Britney" I tried again, this time a little more successful.

"Who's there?"

"It's me, Dee!" My throat tightened and burned but it also relaxed. Somewhat.
I still couldn't see Britney but I didn't need to, I could hear her shaking with every nervous breath she took. "Are you alright Britney?"

"What!?! Of course I'm not alright! We're tied to bloody chairs, in God knows where, by God knows who, for God knows what, for--"

"I get the picture! Now breathe Britney!!!" Once she calmed down I waited for a moment or 2, before I continued to speak. "Britney... are your eyes still in tack?"

"Yes. Why? Oh bloody hell, did they take yours out?!"

"No I don't think they did, but I sit can't see anything"

"That's because there's something over your head dummy!"

"Wait, you can see me?!"

"Yea, that asshole removed mine before he soaked me with freaking water! Ice water if I might add!"

Just then heavy footsteps came stomping towards us. The door was flung open and the footsteps filled the room, followed by silence.

"Warum blutet sie? (Why is she bleeding?)" But no response came. "Zwing mich nicht noch einmal zu fragen! (Don't make me ask again!)" and I fought the urge to pull away when a soft set of hands started probing my neck.

I felt air on my skin and gathered that the examiner was bent in front of me as she continued to search. I tried not to but I had to let out a wince when her fingers found the spot. The examiner then moved away and for a while I swore I felt her gaze sweeping my body so I shifted uncomfortable.

"Wenn wir nach Hause kommen, möchte ich genau wissen, was mit ihr passiert ist! (When we get to the home, I want to know exactly what happened to her)" the examiner spoke "Nimm sie und folge mir! (Take her and follow me)"

I really wish I knew what she was saying, maybe that would have gave me some peace of mind.

"W-what are you doing with that k-knife!" came Britney's shakey voice. "Y-you better not touch her asshole or I'll fuck you up!"

The binds that held me to the chair fell away and I heard Britney sigh with relief. What I assumed were men, picked me up by the arms and threw me over another's shoulder. My carrier begun to move with moderated calculated steps then Britney started protesting.

 As I left the room she yelled threats to the man who dear lay a hand on me, but before she could finish, I heard the disgusting sound of bones cracking, I stiffened as the place went silent.

What have I gotten myself into?!
