SILENCE

CHAPTER 6 CHERYL

Two security men handcuffed my hands from behind and the creepy butler guy simply gave a 'peace' sign and walked the opposite way.

They took a cloth from their pockets and stuffed it in my mouth. It suffocating me lightly.

I fell to the ground as the security pushed me in a cell with a girl sitting in the edge next to the window.

The security removed the cloth from my mouth as I gagged.

The God Damn security guys locked the door, ignored me and left.

I fell to the Porcelain Tile. I will never give up. So I stood up and started walking ahead.

I looked around the huge room, I saw frames of art and kid's drawings. I walked and walked as I glanced at a picture of a family standing by together. A dad, A mother, an elder brother and the sister, No one of them looking even the slightest happy.

The parents were the old couple I saw when I had first arrived. The brother was an unfamiliar scary looking person, I judged.

The girl, the first name that popped to my head, Anna.

What is going on here? My head started thumping hard. Is that why they are holding me hostage? Do they think I killed her? No, this cannot happen... I must leave this place. Now. Or am I getting paranoid??

I stared at the girl sitting on the edge with dirty clothes, but they extremely familiar ones. I couldn't see her face since she was facing the other side. She sensed me staring at her from behind and turned to look at me.

I felt thunderstruck as I looked at her face.

She stared at me, got up and ran towards me in full speed. I fell back as she hugged me and started crying.

"Laura, I-I thought you d-died," She said looking very sick.

We both cried for our bad luck while wondering why this happened to us.

Is this because they want money from us? They look rich enough. I signed

"I don't know Laura, I don't know" she replied.

I felt terrified as we never moved an inch away from each other.

"How did you get here? What did they do to you?" She asked.

I looked at her for a moment elaborating whether I should tell her or not, Chloe was sick I knew, and she looked stressed and even worse was, she looked beaten up by the beasts. I sobbed lightly as she drifted to sleep right next to me.
