I'm fine (Min Yoongi ff)

Chapter nineteen

*A little warning - this chapters includes a lot of traumatic and violential subjects*

"I'm not changing the topic"

Ani was deadly serious. Yoongi, staring into her eyes, saw that she was telling the truth, although he had no idea how the Shining Moon case would be connected to her. By drugs? Was she involved in something like Taehyung?

"And what does Shining Moon has to do with it?" he asked uncertainly. Suddenly he realized something. The name of the club was the same as Ani's surname. Quite a strange coincidence.

"This… it started a long time ago" she muttered indistinctly "I lived in Poland with my parents. I was happy. Really happy, I just… I didn't appreciate it at that time"

Yoongi frowned, because after these few chaotic words nothing was really explained, but he remained silent. He didn't want to interrupt her.

"One day I was returning from school" Ani took a short pause and continued a moment later "I was 12 years old back then and it was the middle of the day. I was walking down the street that was not very crowded, but there were people there. Someone was walking on the sidewalk, someone was watering flowers in their yard. Suddenly a car pulled up and stopped right next to me" Ani took her hands out of her pockets and began to twist her fingers "Two men jumped out of it, ran up to me and grabbed me. I started screaming. People on the street were looking at it, but… nobody did anything. They put me in the trunk and drove away"

Yoongi was speechless. He imagined many things, but… not something like that. Not that someone kidnapped Ani.

"I don't know how long they were driving. Very long. I think several hours. At first I screamed and pounded the walls of the trunk with my fists, but then I realized it was pointless and finally gave up. I just cried the rest of the way"

"Why didn't you try to call the police?" Yoongi interjected.

"I didn't have a phone. My parents bought me a phone, but they wouldn't let me take it to school. Sometimes I broke this prohibition and took it to school with me, but not that day" Ani managed to snap her fingers like crazy. Yoongi pulled her sleeve, not wanting to touch her and at the same time trying to stop her movements.

"Calm down" he said softly to her. He could see that Ani was trying to tell him this without emotions at all costs, and that she was failing.

"Then…" she said, trying to slow down her breathing "Then they finally opened that trunk. They got me out of it and put me in a truck that was full of other girls. Some were even younger than me. They gave us food and water and took us somewhere. I had no idea what was going on because none of these girls spoke my language. We just waited for them to finally open the door"

Ani breathed deeply a second time and resumed the story.

"They drove us for a long time, perhaps several days. They gave us food and water a couple of times. We peed in the corner of the truck. It was scary. You have no idea what's going on in your head at such situations. All this time in the truck and in the trunk before that, I didn't want to believe it was happening. I thought it was a dream and I would wake up soon. I wanted to think that because… it was so unreal. Why would someone kidnap me? After all, I wasn't anyone important, and my parents didn't have any ransom money" Ani shook her head "When I finally realized this was really happening, I was hoping the police would stop the truck and set me free. After all, a few people saw me being taken, someone had to report it, so the police and my parents were definitely looking for me and they would save me soon. But… anything like that didn't happen. When we finally got there, they dragged us out of the truck. We all cried. They locked us up in barracks and told us to wash ourselves. And then ..." Ani squeezed her eyes shut and said very softly "And then I found out why they brought us here"
