Abused and Broken

4

"Where are we going?" I asked, following the girl into the car.

"Anywhere that's far from here." I sat in the passenger's seat looking out the window.

I watched as the trees passed and soon the car stopped.

"I'll be back. Stay here." I nodded and watched as she left.

She had a knife in her pocket....

Oh god.

I forced myself to look at the forest, imagining all the cute animals that lived in it.

After a while Lauren came in with a tall girl with caramel hair.

I tried to ignore the red substance coating Lauren's hands and pants.

"Dinah, this is Y/N. Y/N, this is Dinah." I forced a smile and shook the girl's hand.

I stayed silent throughout the drive, not knowing what to do or say.

I rested my head on the window.

That was when I saw red and blue flashing lights behind us.

"Shit." Lauren quickly hid the bloody knife and wiped her hands clean on a rag.

Lauren pulled over and I was physically shaking.

Lauren put a hand on my thigh, trying to calm me.

"Good evening, Ma'am. Is there a reason you're driving?" There was a rule against woman driving.

"Yes sir, I was told to drive these two to the auction." The man nodded and his eyes landed on me.

"Are you okay, little lady?" I gulped but nodded.

"Mhmm, do you mind stepping out of the vehicle?" Lauren squeezed my thigh and I got out of the car, feeling the cop's eyes roam my body.

He was checking me out...

He pushed me up against the cop car, his front to my ass.

"What's got you so nervous, huh? What is it, little one?" He handcuffed me.

I began to hyperventilate and I heard a thud before the man fell to the floor, unconscious.

"Shh, you're okay. I'm here, princess." Lauren spoke, quickly unlocking the cuffs and setting me free.

Tears threatened to spill from my eyes as I rushed to the car, quickly getting inside and pulling my knees to my chest.

I was silent, burying my face into my knees.

I heard the man shouting and then a sickening snap.

I felt sick.

I quickly rushed out of the car as I threw up into the bushes.

I felt hands holding my hair back.

"You're okay, Y/N. Just calm down." Dinah's soothing voice whispered into my ear.

"Everything's going to be okay. I know it's scary, but he was going to hurt you." When I finished, the taller girl gave me a bottle of water to wash my mouth out with.

I did just that, spitting into the grass.

I didn't dare look at what Lauren was doing.

I got back into the car and held my knees to my chest.

Lauren got back into the car, gently placing a hand on my shoulder.

I flinched away which caused her to sigh.

"I won't hurt you, Y/N/N. I could never hurt you." I moved away from her and she went silent as she began to drive.

I was silent, squeezing my eyes shut and hoping to wake up safe and in my bed.

At least then I wouldn't have to face the things Lauren was doing.

I know she was just protecting us, but I hated it.

She was ending lives.

The car came to a stop and Lauren got out, telling Dinah to watch me.

I didn't dare look up.

Another girl joined us.

"Hi, I'm Camila." How were they so nonchalant about this?

"I'm Dinah, that's Y/N." I turned toward the window.

"She's a bit....scarred." Dinah spoke, making Lauren sigh.

"Baby, you're okay. No one is going to hurt you." Lauren rested her hand on my thigh, only for me to jump and cower away further into the seat.

Lauren bit her bottom lip and began to drive.

We arrived at a cliff of come sort and the girls got out, setting up camp.

I didn't move a muscle, staying in the same position and resting my chin on my knees.

Lauren opened my door and lifted me up.

I began to thrash and cry as she did so.

She only held me closer.
"Shh, baby. I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you. You're okay. Just close your eyes." That didn't seem to calm me down, so she tried a different approach.

She began to sing.

My eyes began to droop, my body falling victim to sleep.

Her voice was raspy and soft.

She was slowly running her fingers through my hair.

The combination made me rest my head on her chest.

She continued singing and that's when my eyes shut and sleep took over my body.
