Chapter 3: "What Have I Done?"
1047 Words
Elsie’s POV
The night was long and fulfilling..it got colder and colder. My body snuggled towards the warmth but I just felt a huge dent in the bed and the memories all came flooding back about the night I had sold my dignity.
I jerked up feeling all guilt and embarrassment. Additionally, my face suddenly went red when I realized I got no clothes on.
I wrapped myself around in the blanket like a burrito before stumbling to the bathroom like the mess I was. The blanket fell to the ground with a bang and I looked at my once impeccable skins filled with marks of shameless act.
I could remember his fervent but soft kisses that showered all over my skin…I closed my eyes from this forbidden thought.
“Ahhhh Elsie! What are you doing?”
I smacked myself awake but then again I looked at the artwork he had left on my body. I sighed when I remembered how alluring his eyes were, his lips so soft but sweet when placed on mine, his hands strong but comforting. I remembered feeling every part of him.
I plunged into the water, the only thing bringing me comfort now. I tried my best not to cry but the words of Scar suddenly rang like a bell in my head, “ I will back”
I quickly rushed out of the water and ran out naked. There was another problem now -I had no clothing-
I looked around the room looking for what to wear but I found none except my one night stand’s torn shirt.
“Ahhhhhhh this is really bad. I shouldn't have run away from home. What would be my faith now?”, I thought immensely about tearing up.
“Maybe I should just kill myself here and now”, I said aloud.
“Jesus.”, frightened by the sound of the bell..I fell to my butt.
I quickly rushed to the bathroom to hide but the ringing continued and my anxiety grew because it could be my abductor behind those doors and I didn't want that.
I mustered up all courage and said, “ Come in.”
The lady that stepped had a soft smile on her face with a neat and tight uniform which got my heart settled but soon her cheeks grew hot as her eyes scanned the room and I realized what she was thinking and I couldn't hide my embarrassment.
She regained her formal expression and said, “ Mam, the mister you spent the night with said I should hand these clothes to you.”
I breathed out in relieve but she didn't stop there and continued
“ He also asked I give you this cheque for his brutality last night and his card to call him”
I simply nodded shyly from her words.
Then I added, probably to comfort me, “ You can go now ma'am, if you want.”
I smiled and said, “ I will find my way out. Thank you for your help.”
As soon as she left with a bang, I checked the clothes and each had a tag. The price was enormous, which got me frightened.
“Who exactly did I sleep with?”, I thought but pushed it aside.
The memories of last night came flooding back and I could remember calling him daddy and asking for his name but that part remained blurry.
I shrugged and picked the simplest and cheaper one among the clothes before putting it on.
I held the cheque tightly and slipped out of the room. I covered my face though no one would recognize me and even if they did, they would only think of me as a scum then saw familiar faces which caught me looking at them.
It was Scar, Scooby and the others.
They suddenly pointed at me and yelled at the top of their voices, “ Catch her.”
“ That wench.”
“If I get my hands on her, I would give her the beating of her life”.
They ran after me and I ran like my life depended on it with my heels reaching the top of my head because of the fear of dying.
I kept on muttering, “ I don't want to die”
I could hear them say, “ The boss is very angry and he has ordered that she's killed tonight or…”
I didn't want to hear the or part so I ran faster realizing that I was going to die and I didn't want to die.
I didn't know where I was going, I just knew that I took every turn and my brain took no notice because the adrenaline being pumped now was more than ever.
My heart beat was pumping and felt like I would die and the voices had quietened down and I didn't know where I was.
I was lost.
This place smelt and stinked of dead meat. The ironic smell of blood floated around making me want to vomit.
I held my head from the swirl and my stomach made a noise. I started hearing voices so I jumped and my head hit a hard surface.
I looked up and I was surprised.
The person said in surprise, “ Elsie”
That surprise soon turned to rage so I moved away but he pulled me to himself.
“ What are you doing here?”
“Leave me alone Jack. It's none of your business.”, I yelled at him but he didn't. Instead he dragged me harshly and all I could hear was the sound of my clothes ripping.
I held my bosoms in surprise staring at him angrily but now I could see he was furious.
His hands touched me, touching the marks all over my body.
“What is this?”, he asked.
“I'm breaking up with you.”, he said suddenly but I was caught off guard as he threw a heavy slap at my face and I spat out a mouthful of blood and a tooth.
He pushed me to the floor and tore off my clothes..just my bare body.
“ I will give you more since that's what you want, right?”
