Safe With Me

Chap. 29: Jaelynn {pt. II}

The sound of Jaelynn's screams still bounces off the walls of the garage despite being muffled by the black cotton bag over her head. The Snake King gang stands all around her. Elle winces at the brunette's shrieks, wishing she would stop. The blonde reminds herself she too went through the interrogation once before and cried out in fear.

               Elle recognizes Happy as he walks up to the back of the chair Jaelynn is strapped down to. She violently trembles with fear. He grabs the top of the bag and quickly pulls it off of her head. Elle gasps at the sight before her.

          The tear filled terror in Jaelynn's eyes leaves the blonde gasping. She starts to subconsciously move to her friend when holds her back. Elle looks up to see Brody standing there, a black mask over his ace like all the others. He shakes his head at her in caution.

                Elle takes in an uneven breath, looking back to Jaelynn feeling helpless. She licks her lips as she crosses her arms over her chest.

             "Wha-Why are you doing this?" Jaelynn cries out, her voice wavering. "What did I do? What did I do!"

              "Untie her!" Happy roars, his voice deeper to disguise his voice.

Hope fills Jaelynn's huge eyes. "Thank you! Oh, thank you!"

Elle shifts on the balls of her feet. Her mind races at what she knows will happen next. She begins to bite her nails.

"I wouldn't thank us quite yet..." She mutters under her breath.

Brody nods beside her. "Right."

Jaelynn is untied by, who Elle guesses, Jesse and Jared. Jaelynn's body is roughly shoved to the ground, a squeaky squeal escapes her lips as she hits the cold garage floor. She looks up at the masked men that surround her through the hair in he face.

             "Whoo! Look at that cute ass! Mm!" Elle recognizes Ezra's voice, "Jake must have had quite a time pulling that hair while giving her anal. That's why I heard screams coming from that's room at night. Ha!"

           Elle's blood boils at his perverted words, gritting her teeth as her chest rises and falls at a heavy rate. Her hands ball up into tight fist.

            Brody leans in so only she can hear him. "Careful. Think wisely. This is your first test for phase three."

              Elle bites we tongue, her blood boiling hotter. She shakes her head angrily.

Two of the gang members grab Jaelynn's arms, hoisting her body up to her feet. She trembles in fear as she looks between the masked gang.

Suddenly, another gang member appears with a baseball bat. Flashbacks of her own initiation blind Elle's vision at the sight of the weapon. She trembles at the dark memories. The sound of Jaelynn's painful screams wakes Elle out of her fog.

When Elle's vision clears, she sees the man lift the bat and slam it into Jaelynn's bottom. Elle's eyes widen and her mouth gasps.

"Oh, my God!" Elle cries out, tears filling her eyes. "Stop it! Stop it!"

The man stops, looking to her. Elle looks around the room to see that everyone is staring at her. She straightens herself, trying to appear tough.

"Any idiot can hit this bitch with a bat." Elle growls, her hands trembling at her sides. "Pin her up against the wall."

Jesse and Jared drag Jaelynn over to the wall. Elle goes over to the small table with the knives she had practiced with Jake. A hand firmly grabs her bicep. She looks up to see Brody standing there with concern in his eyes.

"The fuck you think you're doing?" He growls at her under his breath.

"I'm taking brownie points." Elle picks up a hand full of knives, staring down Brody as she walks around him.

From across the garage, Elle throws a knife. It hits just beside Jaelynn's head. Her blue eyes widen with tears streaming down her face. Everyone freezes as they stare at the blonde in shock.

Elle slowly licks over the top row of her teeth, sucking on her front two teeth. "Hhmm."

Elle begins to turn, looking down at her knives. A few of the men begin to chuckle at her. The blonde quickly whips around and throws the knife at Jaelynn across the room. The knife cuts the brunette's right bicep. Jaelynn hisses at the pain, shrieking in fear. Her eyes are wide with terror.

Elle flips the knife, nodding her head. "This is for you, Jackson."

The blonde suddenly throws the knife across the room, cutting Jaelynn's pinky. Elle steps forward, throwing another knife, cutting the side of the brunette's right ear. Jaelynn winces as the knives cut her. Blood trickles down her naked body as she trembles with fear. Elle throws one more knife, missing. The blonde looks down at the floor in defeat.

Happy nods to her with crossed arms. "Good job, kid."

Elle looks away, feeling as if she had failed. Brody suddenly appears, his eyes cold. Jaelynn is thrown to the floor. Several of the gang members begin to kick her naked body.

"Satisfied?" Brody's tone is short, his lips a straight line.

"Brody—" Elle begins.

"Ya know, I thought you were better than that." He crosses his arms, "I guess I was wrong."

"I was stepping up to the test." Elle hisses at him, leaning into him. "You said this was my first test of phase three!"

Brody leans in close to her so only she can hear him. She can taste the stale mint of his toothpaste on his breathe. Her brown eyes search his blue eyes.

"You tell me to take care of you like a fucking man yet you still act like a careless, arrogant little girl." He takes a step back, looking her up and down in disgust. "Before I even consider taking you on, you've got some growing up to do."

             "Hey! You two!" Happy calls from the group of men kicking Jaelynn, "Stop making out and get over here!"

              Brody gives Elle one last glare before walking over to the gang of men kicking the young girl. Elle pouts her lips but slowly follows after him, still unsure of what she had done wrong.

Hey readers! Why is Brody mad? Didn't Elle do as she was supposed to do? Or did she do what SHE thought she was supposed to do? Do you think she passed her first test? Did Elle go overboard when torturing Jaelynn? Do you think Jaelynn recognizes the gang around her? Please comment below!!! And stay safe, my Lovlies 🙏🏼❤️😌
