Lily's way out

Chapter 9:

I have never felt worse than this. My legs are numb, my head feels like lead and my hands are freezing. I've tried opening my eyes but it hasn't worked yet. I've heard the voices of man above, but nobody has come down as of yet.

I feel like maybe an hour or two has passed and I finally manage to open my eyes and after some more bickering and fighting myself I find myself upright against the wall. My mind is still a bit foggy and I don't know for sure where I am, but I do know that I am not safe.

Then I hear it that voice that gives me the shivers, stil dark and low but a bit muffled now. I can't hear what they are talking about, but I do know now that I need to get myself out of here.

I try to get my body in motion but it feels like everything is weighted down with bricks. I hear a rattling noise and I pull myself back into the corner of the room I woke up in. The creaking of the stairs thumps in my ears and I will myself to look up to the person coming down the stairs. At first all I can focus on are the boots, big and brutal, thundering down the stairs. But it doesn't stop there more and more boots are coming down the stairs and after the silence it feels overwhelming.

They stop in front of me and the thumping stops and then the person in front starts speaking.

"Is this the Kingsley daughter?" The man spoke loud and someone murmured that I was indeed the kingsley daughter.

"She looks awful."

"Well press we were waiting until you saw her before we assigned and you know cleaned her up"

I watched the boots come closer to me and heard him stop right behind me. With a sharp tug he pulled my head back and I was forced to face the man standing in front of me.

"Well hello there little lady and what is your name?" The man that spoke looked frightening, he had a leather jacket on and tattoos all over his body. But his eyes, his eyes were dark and empty. He was looking at me from the top of my head all the way down to my feet, but his gaze lingered. I felt disgusted.

I winced when the person behind me tugged on my hair and then that dark voice whispered in my ear.

"Are you going to answer the press little lady, or do we need to teach you what we do to women who don't listen?".

I craned my neck to look the man in front of me in the eyes.

"No, where am I?"

The man started to laugh and the man who people referred to as press was stepping a bit closer and grabbed my chin.

"Lily Annabelle Rose Kingsley, we already know everything about you so I suggest you shut the fuck up and listen very close. Your mommy and daddy traded you in for some more product-, The man around us started laughing again, -we didn't like their deal." The man looked smug.

"You killed them." My neck was starting to hurt but i maintained eye contact with the man.

"And it is only the first thing that we are going to do to you and your family".

He pushed my head away and took a step back. 

"Now what to do with you."
