Corrupted

"Where are we?" I heard the girl on my left ask. It was dark, and none of us could tell anything other than that there were at least eight of us. Some men were talking outside a crack under the door five feet in front of us. I squirmed, pulling at the ropes that bound my wrists, to no avail. A new crack formed on the side of the door as it was opened to reveal a blinding light behind the silhouette of a muscular man.
"Keep quiet in here," he commanded in a booming voice. The girls on either side of me flinched as he slammed the door, making the walls of this small room shake. I could make out a barely audible prayer being murmured by the girl furthest from me, her deep voice pleading with her Heavenly Father for help. I wasn't very religious, but I, too, began to pray, praying to anyone for any help.
Please someone help us.

-->Triggers for violence, kidnapping, abuse, and sexual assault...many of these things (with the exception of violence) are kept to a minimum, but are, in fact, factors of the story. I will put a note at the top of each chapter with these factors as forewarning.
