After 12 | JJK BOOK 1

Chapter Fifty-Three: Hurting

I was hurting.

I was hurting all over, my body was slowly wanting to give up.

The scene of my mum kept repeating itself in my head. I wanted to get rid of it, but my mind was telling me this was all my fault. If I had just told her the truth from the beginning.

Hours had passed, and they left me here suffering, hurting and mourning over the death of my loved one. I felt like I wanted to vomit at the stench of this place, the death stench was strong.

My wrists were fully numb, I could hardly feel them. I just wanted to be where my mother was, in heaven. I couldn't bear this torture anymore.

I looked at the pool of blood where her body had to been. They took her body away, I had no idea what they would do with it.

I hated them, I hated them all. From the start, I should have waited to trust them, especially Jungkook. This was all his fault, if he didn't get close to me, I could have been living my life right now.

The lights suddenly flicker as I noticed Sam come down with trays.

"Right, you little rats, here's some food." He went to different rooms and opened the metal bar doors. I heard small cries as I realised there were other people in this place with me. I was not alone.

Sam visited me next, I looked at him with pure hatred as he loosened my chains a little so I could move around. I moved my wrists as they cracked with stiffness.

I was so thirsty, I grabbed the glass of water and gulped it down without taking another breath. I didn't want any of their food so I ignored that and just stared at the wall until someone came back to collect the trays.

The room fell to how it was earlier... complete silence.

"Day 12."

I looked over to where the voice came from and noticed a girl around my age using a rock to carve something onto the walls.

I looked closely as her clothes were all ripped, she had bruises all over her arms and chest.

I wonder how many people were here with me? I wondered if anyone knew I was missing.

I tried to see as far as I could since the lights were now turned back off.
I hated being in the dark, especially like this. I tried to get comfortable, but I just couldn't, I was sitting on hard rock with chains digging into my skin.

"Don't worry, you will get out of here... we all will."

I now heard another voice, this voice was strongly familiar. A voice I haven't heard in a while, I scanned the room as I notice on the opposite side another girl was sitting leaning against the metal bars.

She looked extremely familiar. She shifted and looked at me for a split second.

There was no way.

"Beth?" I called out, was it her?

The girl crawled to as far as the bars could go and tried to see me. I stretched myself since the chains were loosened, I went to the door and stared at her.

"Lydia!" She cried.

"Oh my god," she buried her face in her hands as she cried even more.

"It's been so long," I choked. This is where she has been, she has been in danger and I never knew.

"Lydia, I'm so sorry you are here right now." She reached close.

"Where are Mia and Nelly?"

"They are here, but I don't know where they are. There are only a few people down here. I feel like I'm going crazy, I haven't had blood in days it's killing me," she coughed.

I sat and spoke to Beth for a while, she had told me Nathaniel had taken her and the girls a few days before he went to the school. I had told her everything from Jungkook to Adelia, she just couldn't believe it and neither did I.

"I take it that woman earlier was your mother?" She whispered.

"You saw?"

Beth sadly nodded, "I think we all did."

"As I said earlier, we will get out of here, we all will."
