Everything Opposite

Chapter Thirty One

TRIGGER WARNING

Zack
I woke up the following morning in my bedroom alone. I heard Clarity giggling from down the hall. Lisa and Alex talked in lower murmurs to her. I ran downstairs but there was no sign of Ryleigh. "Yo, Zack, are you up?"Alex asked, coming out of the guest bedroom. "Still nothing?"he asked. I shook my head no.

Alex said something to Lisa but I couldn't hear him. I was so worried about Ryleigh. Something had obviously happened. Alex was pulling his phone out to call the police as I sunk down on a kitchen chair. "Are you okay?"he asked as he took a seat across from me with two cups of coffee from our coffee machine. He slid me one. I didn't answer. "They'll be in about twenty minutes to ask you some questions before they file a missing persons report. We'll find her,"Alex promised.

Ryleigh
When I regained consciousness again, the blindfold was gone but I was still tied to the bed. I had to pee and realized I had no way to get up so I had to relieve myself on the bed. I was sore and had never felt so dirty and violated. I was aware of the wet sticky substance between my legs, I was almost positive it was blood. Everything hurt.

The door opened. "Oh, good you're awake!"the other man smiled at me before mounting me once more. I fought the urge to cry out and bit the inside of my cheek. He untied me when he was finished and left. I curled myself into a tight ball in the corner. I found a small bowl of water and lapped up a sip.

The door slammed open once more and my 'father' stormed up to me and slapped my cheek. "Why did you free her?"he yelled angrily at the other man. He turned his attention back to me, wrenching me up by my hair and dragging me back over to the the bed. He pulled the wet pad I peed on off and threw me down, tying me down once more.

"Sit tight, honeybun. We're about to get a pretty penny for you,"he smiled evilly. He took pride in punching me once more though this time didn't render me unconscious. "She's not out,"the other man noted. "I'm aware. I hit her hard enough to make her dizzy but I want her conscious for this part,"my 'father' sneered before walking back out. I only hoped that Zack and the guys realized something was wrong and they were looking for me.

The door opened again and the face I saw there surprised me. "Ian?"I asked, my head still spinning making me feel sick to my stomach. Ian was one of my friends in elementary school but he got in with the popular crowd and we grew apart. "Yeah, honeybun, it's me and we're going to have so much fun,"he said, smiling as he unbuttoned his pants to slide them off.

"Why me? What did I ever do to you?"I asked weakly. "You wouldn't join us. You just couldn't leave your precious Logan behind. I don't see her here to save you now,"he said, laughing evilly before he slapped me. He climbed on top of me. "I'm sorry. Ian, please don't do this,"I begged. "Quiet!"he hissed, slapping me once more before hours of torture endured.

I felt myself drifting off when the door opened again. Ian left what felt like an hour ago but I had no sense of time down here. "Wake up!"someone yelled at me. I flinched and startled awake. Standing over me was my middle school ex-boyfriend, Wilson. You probably know of those relationships that you have in middle school. We were just playing at being adults, it never really felt like a real relationship, after all we couldn't drive.

I whimpered and started crying as he did the same as Ian. "Stop crying!"he said angrily and punched me hard in the stomach, only causing my tears to fall harder. As he mounted me, I could help but to scream which caused him to go for my throat with his hands. I struggled for air, he let go before I could pass out.

When he finished, my 'father' and the other man appeared in the doorway. "That torture is done, at least for today. Did you enjoy all the fun?"my 'father' smiled at me, enjoying my pain and knowing what he was doing to me. "When they find me, you'll go to jail for a long time!"I spat. He slapped me. "Learn to control that tongue before it gets you killed. They aren't going to find you,"my 'father' said, laughing before setting up a video camera in the corner. "Don't worry, Ryleigh. It'll be over before you know it. As soon as we're rich and you've served your purpose, you'll be disposed of,"my 'father' said.

I screeched at the thought of never seeing my family again. I hard slap to the cheek forced me into silence again. The other man climbed on top of me and took his turn before my 'father' took his. My 'father' took his time raping me and enjoyed beating me along the way. My screams echoed of the concrete walls as I cried out time and time again. When he finished, he knocked me out again.

When I woke up, I was untied. All of my clothes were gone. I found a somewhat dirty quilt under the bed that I wrapped around myself to fight off the damp chill. A mirror sat in the corner and I saw my eyes, empty of emotion. I don't know how much more I could take of this. The video camera sat tall in the corner. They were sick and demented. On a small table in the middle of the room sat a razor. I allowed myself to pick it up.

I shiver went through me as I considered my options. They would just let me for. My arm burned with an undeniable need to feel the cool metal against my skin. I sat the razor back down. I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction. I rubbed my sore stomach and hoped our baby was okay.

Zack
"The police are here!"Alex said, walking over to our front door. They came in asking me questions and I did my best to help them. They were going to send out a search party as well as file a missing persons report, that was all we could do. I gently picked my daughter up, hugging her tightly. I didn't understand how this could happen or why it happened.

A/N: Hey y'all. I'm not sure really what to say. The next chapter will be a timeskip  when you find out Ryleigh's fate. Much love!
