Hers

Punished

I could have sworn I was going to die. The way she was dragging me with more force than I have felt before. The anger in her eyes seemed unrealistic. I was hoping I was dreaming.

Of course, I wasn't.

She dragged me down to the basement where I was when I first arrived. It looked totally different then when I was first there.

 There were now chains hanging off the ceiling in the middle of the room and some off the walls. I was more than frightened. I didn't know what to expect.

There was still the bed in the room, but on one of the walls were shelves holding some things. I noticed some whips and other devices similar to them. I didn't know the exact names.

When we got into the room, and immediately chained my up by the ceiling. The first thing she did was smack me in the face, ten times harder than I had done her.

I was already sobbing, not because of the smack but because of the fear for what else I would be dealt.

I saw her go over to the shelves with the devices, and she grabbed a long leather whip. She turned to me and gave me a dirty look.

She then cut off all my clothes, literally, with scissors. Then, all of a sudden I felt excruciating pain in my lower back right above my ass.

I knew whips hurt, but I never imagined it this bad. She kept repeating how I was a bad girl and I needed to get punished. She made me thank her after every whip.

I stopped counting in my head at 25, and I could see the darkness taking over. She had whipped every part of my body except my face, and I was starting to lose it.

I was appreciative when the darkness finally crept in.

When I woke up, I was still in that room. I was chained to the wall now. I felt so hungry and thirsty, and I started wondering how long I have been in there for.

I noticed I wasn't naked anymore, but I only had on a bra and underwear. I noticed all the welts and the cuts. The blood on me was dried, so I have been down here for at least a few hours.

I started yelling. I don't know who to, but I just did. Everywhere on my body was hurting. There was so much pain I couldn't even lift my arm up without feeling it shock through my entire arm.

When I heard footsteps, I started getting excited. I prayed it was not her.

I know I slapped her in the face, but she went to far. I can't even move. So much for trying to like her. I f*****g hate her with everything in me. I have never been in this much pain before in my entire life, not even when my dad left us.

When Diana walked inside I gave her a scowl, or at least I tried. I was too weak and exhausted to do anything honestly.

She looked at me, and if I saw it correctly, she looked regretful. I hope she did, stupid b***h.

Who the f**k does something like this? Nobody deserves what I just got. I am pretty sure she knew too by the way I was looking at her.

"What do you f*****g want?" I said taking breaths in between each word with pure disgust.

She looked surprised that I spoke for a second, then her face changed to no emotion.

"I was just seeing if you were awake. I don't really think you would want to talk to someone like that who just beat you. That isn't very smart, now is it?" She said, her lips curving into a smile. Sick b***h.

"I don't give a f**k. I don't think you can hurt me more than you already have. Go ahead." I know I probably shouldn't have said that, but she gets me so angry. So pissed off.

Her smile faltered, but she did not do anything.

"You might want to watch yourself. You already earned your punishment for smacking me, but don't test me. I don't care how hurt you are, I will make you wish you were dead. So, do what is good for you and shut up. You have been down here for 5 days, and I was going to let you come back up. But, since you want to be a little b***h, you can stay right where you are until tomorrow."

As much as I did not want to beg her, I was starving and dirty. I did not want to stay here anymore. I was very uncomfortable. I wanted to take a bath and sleep in my bed and eat some food. So, I started to beg.

"No please. I am sorry I'm just very sore and hurt and upset. I just want to go back to my room and eat and drink something. I am sorry, please let me go upstairs, I will not talk back again."

She looked at me for a minute or two, and then nodded her head. Thank god. I cant believe she gave in so easily though. But at least I got to go upstairs, I was not complaining.

I could barely walk, but I really needed a bath. That's the first thing I did when I got upstairs, and to my surprise Diana helped me.

The warmth of the water soothed my sore body a little bit. I sat in the water for about an hour and a half and Diana washed my hair and body then I got out.

She helped get me dressed. She put on my underwear and then an over size t-shirt. I don't know why she was being so nice to me.

Although I still was very pissed at her and had lots of hatred flowing through me, I was thankful she was helping me. Who knows how long it would take me without her help.

I knew she knows she went to far by the sadness in her eyes whenever I flinched from her touching me.

Part of me felt a pinch of regret for yelling at her like that. I keep telling myself I shouldn't feel that way, but I couldn't help it. She brushed and braided my hair for me. I looked at the clock and noticed it was 10:23pm.

My stomach growled, and I think Diana heard it because she told Felicia to get me some food. When I finished eating the big bowl of fresh fruit and drinking the bottle of water, I was ready to go to sleep.

As I was about to lay down to go to bed, Diana told me I was sleeping in her bed tonight. I was going to say no, but then I didn't want to get in trouble again so I just went with it.

She helped me into her bed, and covered me up. When she changed into sweats and a tank top, she crawled into the bed by me. She wrapped her arm around me, and I was going to shove it off but I liked the feeling of being close to someone. Even if it was Diana, her warmth was soothing.

I closed my eyes, but couldn't fall asleep. Diana must have thought I was asleep, because the next thing I heard, I know she would never say to me while I was conscious.

She whispered right by my ear "I will never hurt you like that again, I promise. I couldn't bear it again."

I was surprised. I didn't let her know I was awake, I did turn around with my eyes closed so I was facing her. Hearing her made me feel better. Knowing how much she hated what she did. I could tell she wished she hadn't.

I nuzzled closer to her, and she allowed me. Then she whispered again "I know you are awake right now. You don't have to pretend you're sleeping."

I only smiled. I don't know how I could go from hating her to just wanting to be closer to her. I needed her comfort, and she gave it to me.

I fluttered my eyes open, and she just stared into them. She reached her left arm up and went to move hair from out of my face. I flinched a little, but allowed her to do so.

"I'm sorry. I really am so so so sorry. I hate what I did, and I cant believe I went so far. I was so mad, but you didn't deserve that much."

I could tell she meant what she was saying. I couldn't forgive her just yet, but I could try, right?

"I know you are sorry. But I will not forgive you right now. I will try and maybe one day I will find forgiveness and trust for you. You have to earn it. You hurt me to bad for me to just give you back something you completely took away." I said, getting more and more tired.

All she did was give me an understanding nod. She kissed me on my lips one quick time, and then I was falling asleep.

Little did I know that she was ready to try and gain my forgiveness and trust back. She wanted it back. She wasn't going to stop until I gave it back to her. She wasn't going to give up.
