SERENITY
It has been ninety-two days. Each night gets worse for me when I have the same damn dream of Tyson. I questioned if he gave up looking for me, or if he was losing sleep at night just to search for me. Waking up to Vito describing my old life and how he will change it forever drives me out of my f*****g mind. "Where the hell is Rosey?"
"We took her to a room where she can think about what she's done."
"Please don't hurt her!"
"I make the rules, baby. Not you."
"Vito, please..."
He looked at me and scowled. "Maybe it's too late."
"Take me! Not her."
He shook his head. "You've been a good girl. She has not and that is disrespectful. She won't learn unless something happens."
"Wait, Vito!"
He put the tray and cup on the floor and left. "I have some things to do."
TYSON
"Anything?"
Shepard looked at me and shook his head. "I'm afraid not."
"I need to find her!"
"And I need to find Rosey. We are doing the best that we can."
"They could be dead already."
"f**k, Lewis. I know this is f*****g your head up, but get your s**t together. We will find them."
"It's been three god damn months!"
"We'll find them. But you do know who has their eye on you, right?"
"Who?"
"Danielle. She's a real beauty."
"Yeah, I've seen her around."
"You can call me an asshole, but she's single and you know... she could get your mind off of her."
"Shepard... Did you seriously just say that?"
"He's right."
I saw Danielle come up to me and slid her finger up my arm. "I'm single."
"Well, I'm not."
She shrugged. "And? We could still have some fun, babe."
"Don't call me that."
"Your loss."
As she walked away, I glared at Shepard. "Was that necessary?"
"Just trying to help."
"I wouldn't cheat on Serenity. Ever."
SERENITY
I didn't know what time it was, but I was woken up by the sound of shouting and screaming. I feared that it was Rosey's, but it wasn't. It sounded like Jasmine's. "No, please! Don't!"
"I have rules around here, and you chose not to listen."
"Please! I promise I'll listen next..."
Moments later, the screaming died down and I heard the sound of a door slam shut. "That needed to be done."
"They should know better, sir."
"Make sure you keep an eye on the others. Don't need another one trying to escape, or they'll die just like she did."
Oh my god. They just killed Jasmine.
I had my back against the wall, staring at the opposite wall of the cell, speechless. What if I'm next? Or Rosey?
"If you don't follow my rules, love, that will happen to you too."
My attention was snapped when I saw Vito standing in the doorway with a smirk on his face. "You sick fuck."
His eyes darkened and he stepped towards me. "Excuse me?"
"You just murdered an innocent seventeen-year-old girl."
"Actions take place if my rules are violated."
"You know what you are? A heartless piece of s**t. You treat us like we're animals and you don't give a f**k. Just wait until I escape. I'll kill you."
Vito laughed. "Escape? You think you can escape this place? I got eyes in the back of my head, sweetie. My men keep an eye on every move you make. Besides..."
He grabbed the small knife out of his pocket and pointed it at me. "I'm bigger and stronger than you, honey. You could never kill me, I am unbreakable."
"We'll see about that."
Shaking his head, he slammed the door shut and locked it. I don't give a s**t what I say to that asshole anymore. He's already mentally broken me.
