Chapter 57

•~••~•~•~•*change in POV*•~•~•~••~•
Shackles.
That was what had awoken me.
That and of course the loud closing of the door.
I ripped my eyes open, searching the room for inhabitants.
The only other person here was Maggie.
A bloody, beaten up, half naked Maggie.
I hurried over to her and laid her onto the bed for further examination.
Then I removed her clothing and wiped her off with a towel from the duffle bag.
After that, I dressed her and tried to wake her up.
I failed. However someone was more successful.
Ly.
Within a few licks Maggie stirred awake.
Far more effective than a smelling salts if you ask me.
She self-consciously wrapped her hands around her body.
Then abruptly, she crashed her body into mines and weeped.
I couldn't tell exactly what she was crying for, but I had a good feeling I knew.
Maybe she was crying because of her failed love.
Maybe she was crying for her lost lover.
Maybe she was crying for her family and friends.
Maybe she was crying because she forgot what her own bed felt like.
Maybe she was crying because all of this was somehow her fault.
Maybe she was crying because all of this was not her fault at all.
Maybe she was crying for her tainted purity.
Maybe she was crying for her lost innocence.
Maybe she was crying for her lost time.
Maybe she was crying for her lost life.
Maybe she was crying because she thinks that nobody will come for her.
Maybe she was crying because her chances of getting out were slimming down.
Maybe she was crying because she was alone.
Maybe she was crying because this was all too much.
Maybe she was crying because she damn well deserves to.
So I simply ran my hands gently through her hair as she laid on my lap, whispering sweet nothings into her ear.
We stayed like that for about an hour and a half before all her tears dried out and her cheeks were streaked stained.
That was the last straw for Maggie.
She couldn't take anymore of this.
She was continuously muttering 'I don't know' while she cried.
That led me to believe that they were really drilling her for the location of the other gangs base.
But Maggie doesn't seem to know.
Which could probably mean that she's never been there.
Or maybe she just doesn't know the location.
Maybe they like blindfolds people before they enter or something.
I really don't know that this point.
They should know where an enemy gang was hiding out by now.
This island wasn't that big. There were a few small communities to the north east then one big one to the north west, where I supposed to be right now.
There wasn't much other than the forest, city and port.
But for some reason this island is the most popular of the three.
Rumors about why is kept under a tight lid.
But it wasn't like I needed to leave or anything. It didn't seem like I was gonna be going anywhere anytime soon.
The odd thing about the port was that only certain trips are permitted.
So it's a challenge to move between islands.
Again, this can't bother me since I don't seem to have long to live anyways.
I wouldn't mind traveling the world in my last days though.
Just some good for thought.
But before I could begin chewing on that food, the iron door busted open.
"Tell me she's okay!"
Roberto more than ran in,eating up his words along the way.
I was startled to say the least. He seemed to be genuinely concerned.
I couldn't help but squeal at this matchup.
"Physically, emotionally and mentally scarred but alive,"
I was still playing with her hair as she slept almost angelically.
"But we are hungry..."
His answer came almost automatically.
"I'm no longer allowed to accommodate you to such standards. But I can bring you both sandwiches with some orange juice."
"That'll do just fine,"
He was about to make his exit but I stopped him with a few words.
"Roberto... thank you."
He sent me a full blown smile before closing and locking the door behind him.
I moved to putting Ly to sleep. She refused.
At least I had her to keep me company as Maggie slept her worries away.
I decided to mule over everything once more.
We were abducted, Maggie to get information and I for some apparent reason I had yet to find out.
Luke and Kim got engaged.
He didn't have feelings for me.
Rebel and Rex are the ones that use and abuse Maggie.
Roberto was ordered to no long make us comfortable.
Nobody seemed to be coming for either of us.
Soon they would surely take the bed away.
Roberto could only hold them back for so long.
We were back to square one.
No favourable bath arrangements.
No adequate meals.
No hospitable living environment.
Everything fit for a captive.
But that was enough mulling.
I could at least enjoy the feel of a bed for a bit longer.
So I turned and laid down.
Only to be jolted up by the harsh opening of the iron door.
Roberto walked in second, right behind the devil herself.
"Kim."
I spat her name with as much venom as I could possibly muster.
"I'm glad to see you to Amber."
She gave me a fake smile as she turned to Reberto.
"Bring her."
Bring who?
Was it my turn?
Were they back for Maggie?
All my questions answered themselves as he slowly walked towards the bed and unlocked my chains from on the wall, leaving both my arms and legs shackled.
Then he abruptly stopped.
"Ma'am... could she eat before she goes?"
Kim's face twisted with anger and then contemplation.
"Fine. Go get it quickly."
He hurrily dashed out the door, dropping my chains to the floor.
I could make a run for it.
But before I could even try, her foot steps were swift and quick.
She slapped me square in the cheek.
I fell to the floor with the impact.
"How dare you."
How dare me? She was the one that abducted me.
"You will tell me all about those boys you brought home, or you'll die trying."
Boys? Did she mean Kent and the others?
But I barely knew anything about them.
Why were they even relevant?
The only person they could've told her about them was none other than Luke.
I guess they were so close that they even shared other people's secrets and business.
Before I could fathom a response, Roberto ran into the room.
He handed me a sandwich and a glass of orange juice. Yuck.
Nevertheless I ate the sandwich and drank the juice humbly. His effort was appreciated.
He left Maggie's food to the corner of the bed, away from Ly of course.
Our of nowhere Kim grabbed my chain and pulled me to the floor.
She then proceeded to dragging me behind her as she led the way.
I tried to stand but Roberto shook his head.
He followed behind silently.
She led me past the bathroom and into the following room.
It was as big as the basement room.
The only difference was the numerous torture devices.
From the leather whips to the human sized cookie cutter. Everything was splattered with blood and reeked of it too.
She thrusted me onto the floor near the corner and chained me to the wall.
Footsteps were heard slowly approaching.
I looked up and we made eye contact.
" Well well well, long time no see. Let's have some fun shall we?"
He walked into the room and picked up a thin whip.
"We have a lot of catching up to do."
