The Stripper

The Stripper - The beast himself

Candy Collins

Unconscious as I am, I fight to open my eyes slightly a bit. Everything feels so blurry and I can feel the headache going right through me. I also feel liquid dripping down from my mouth. The taste of sour blood. I grimace at the taste as I try to open my eyes clearly. Darkness. Everything looks pitch black. I try to move my arms and legs but instantly feel how a rope is holding me back. I don't remember anything. My head feels like it is going to explode. The ache in my chest is almost killing me and I don't know what to do.

What am I doing here?

I struggle to undo the rope but fail. Again.

I hear footsteps coming in and some whispering so I try to stay as quiet as possible.
The pitch black view doesn't let me see who this or these persons a few meters are but I manage to listen to their conversation.

"I'm taking that bitch home with me as soon as she's learned a lesson!" I hear a very familiar voice bark at somebody else.

I hear somebody sigh as they clear they're throat.

"Look Charles, I need her too. I let you help me but either she has to pay or she needs to finish what she started." I once again hear a familiar voice but this time of a woman.

My head starts spinning 'round and 'round and I feel like I can't hold myself from letting out a little pitch sound.

Oh fuck, you're screwed Candy.

I feel the footsteps getting closer and two people whispering back and forth. I manage to take a closer look but see nothing.

Then it hits me. Last thing I remember is leaving Jason to take the stairs and then.. nothing from there. Nothing.

All of the sudden, the room lightens up and I see two faces right in front of me, looking at me.

I wince when I realize who these two persons are. Linda and.. Charles. The Charles! The guy I've been running away from, the guy who put me in this position that I am in today, the guy that raped me, the guy who was my boyfriend for over a year. Just the thought of that leaves a disgusted grimace on my face.

"The bitch is awake." Linda reassures him.

They look at me for two split seconds before I get a fist right onto my eyes. My breath suddenly gets cut short and I feel like I'm going to choke to death any minute. My vision gets blurry and I feel more blood dripping from my mouth than before.

I try to catch my breath again as I face Charles with all I had left in me which is nada. zero.

"You thought you could run away from me and that you would have a perfect little life huh?" He barks at me and throws another fist onto my waist. Then another and lastly, once more.

"Stop, please stop." I cry out but he instead starts kicking me practically everywhere.

I feel numb. Almost as if I'm about to give up. I don't want to look at his spiteful face so I look down on the ground.

Pull yourself together Candy. You've been through worse!

"You're lucky you're not already dead." Linda warns.

Shortly Charles starts taking a fistful of my hair and yanks me back, forcing me to face him.

I feel how the tears are threatening to escape my eyes but I try to hold in.

"I feel sorry for your poor little rich guy, you should've seen what we did to him." He hisses at me as he tries to cup my chin for me to face him properly.

The thought of what he just said gave me a shiver down my spine.

What if something has happened to Jason?

"Wh..ere is h..he?" I try to question but my voice is so weak that I can't even hear myself clearly.

I notice the dark circles around his eyes and the beard he had grown. He looked so.. destroyed. But then again, never will I ever feel sympathy for him in any kind way. Ever.

I feel his hands reach my rope to undo it and I let out a sigh inside of me, thinking that they will let me go after this but instead, he let me drop to the floor and with that, he starts kicking my stomach several times, leaving me shattered in pieces on the floor. I'm crawling like a baby with no defense and he spits at my face with so much disguise in his expression.

Dear lord, if you're up there, please help me. I pray in my mind with tears streaming down my face and pain slicing through me.

"Linda call the rich boy and ask him for the amount of money to let her go." Charles demands and surely after milliseconds Linda follows his order like she's some lap dog waiting to be fucked by him.

She can actually have him. He's a psycho after all.

Linda puts the phone on speaker as she waits for Jason to pick up. After three signals, somebody shouts right through the phone.

"You fucking bitch, where is she?" Jason barked on the other line.

Linda laughs sarcastically through the phone and awaits for Jason to say something more. As she waits with the little laugh she keeps on going, I notice Charles getting closer to her and kissing her slowly on the neck and then further down. Disgusting. She's wearing a very short and tight black dress that practically reveals everything and screams "I'm a whore." Right in everybody's faces.

"Linda you better answer me or I swear.." I heard cursing from the other side of the line.

Jason sounds so furious.

"Well how about 50,000 dollars by midnight to get her or else we shall kill her?" She suggests.

That evil bitch. I wish I could just strangle her to death!

I'm freezing as fuck and it is not helping that the room is colder than a fridge. Literally.

I hear sighs in the background from the speaker but then he finally speaks up, the guy whom was the last guy on my mind to remember before all this.

"Where can we meet up?" He asks bluntly.

Linda and Charles look at each other with a questioning look on their faces, probably not expecting the fact that Jay would agree to the 50,000 dollars thing which also got me in a surprise because last time I checked, he hated me.

"The backside of Wendy's diner, no cops." She warns.

I feel how my stomach is starting to bruise up which makes me moan slightly in ace.

"I swear to god if you do her any harm, you both are getting into jail one way or another!" Jason warns with so much hurt in his voice.

Did this guy really care for me? Why haven't I seen this side of him before?

Hey guys! Short chapter, I know. It's more like a filler chapter and something I wanted to write during my time of being bored, haha.
Next chapter will be about Jason's point of view and hopefully slightly longer.
May not update until Christmas break but that's not so far from now.

I hope you're not being ghost readers and instead take a little second to vote and comment etc.
