Antanasia

Chapter 5 - Meeting with an Angel

    Antanasia's Journal -  Day 40

    Was it 40 days already? I think I lost the count. It's been a very long time since I felt happy or that I was able to sleep well. My body hurts, I need food and sleep. You must be curious about what happened after I was brought here huh? Well, let's see what happened in the first week. But before that, I feel like I have to tell you that it is not pretty. To whoever is reading this, this is a warning. read at your own risk. 

Antanasia POV - Day 7 (post k********g) 

    It's been a week now. I'm still not used to the idea that I was sold but I'm trying to be as positive as I can. It may sound silly but if I don't do that, I'll be thinking about dark things, and believe me, we don't that. I was laying in my bed, talking to Angel. She really is a little angel, I don't know what I would have done without her here. I met her the first day, she was in the bed next to mine. we started talking and she told me a little bit about what was happening there. the conversation was the beginning of a long friendship. I mean at that time I didn't know but I liked her. 

                So, our conversation was something like this: 

"So, you're the new girl. What's your story?" said Angel with a gentle smile. 

"What's yours?" I responded on the defensive. 

"well look at that, isn't she cute?" she added "pull back those claw kitten, I don't bite, I mean only if I'm asked to," she said while laughing like it was a joke only she understood.

"I'm sorry, I'm still a little nervous. So, can you explain where the f**k I am and what's happening here?" I said very nervously

I remember her smile slowly fading out, her eyes weren't as gentle as they were seconds ago. She looked at me straight in my eyes and I knew that I would hate what she was about to say. For once I wish I was wrong. 

"Listen, I'd rather tell you before they start. Maybe if you are psychologically ready they won't break you. First, tell me what you know about those who brought you here" she said with a deep voice and a serious face. 

"All I know is that I think It was my family who had a kind of a deal with that men. They attacked when I was sleeping and they put a collar on my neck. I remember how I felt the magic leave my body at once. I think it's safe to assume that this is a traffic network?" I said. 

"Well, I got to give it to you, I've never seen someone as calm as you even after being kidn*pped and assuming that this is a traffic network. You might survive to this actually" she said, with a small grin, as if she was satisfied. 

I sighed "well, I've always been like this. I already know that I had no way of winning against them. I've been through worse." I said 

"Well, as you might've guessed, this is indeed a traffic network only it's way bigger than you can believe. Since today's your first day, you won't know but they'll start tomorrow with your training. I like you so I want you to listen very carefully about what I am about to tell you, this will make the difference about whether you'll survive or die." While she was telling me those words, her face remained the same, unbothered. However, her eyes, one of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, a blue a shade like no other. You could get lost in her eyes, they reminded you of the ocean and the sky at the same time, if you looked at her for a long time, i had the feeling one could get lost. You could feel a burning rage underneath those jewel-like eyes. 

"Ok I'm not going to lie, I'm a little scared now," I said in a little voice

"I'm not going to coat this for you ok? you need to be strong because this is not a joke" she said while putting both her hands on my shoulders. 

"I'm ready," I said even when I was far from it.

"This place is one of the biggest information networks in our world. They gather information from important people and sell them. Now, to fo that, they use us. You've noticed that we were quite a lot right? They will train you to use your body to get the information. They will make you have s*x with anyone and anything if that could give them the info they want. Not only that, but they will also beat you if you don't listen to them, use you for their own pleasure, have you go around from clients to clients, and most important of them all, they put a spell on you that won't allow you to tell anyone about this. If you disobey, you die." she said with a very calm face as if we were having a little chat with a cup of tea. 

"I don't know what to say, I don't know what to believe, how to behave. This is not real, this is not real, this is not real ... " I kept saying like a mantra as if it was going to change anything 

"Hey, I know what your feeling believe me I went thought that and I've survived. Some didn't so I need you to be strong ok?" she said with a voice so gentle that it helped me calm down in seconds 

"Why are you helping me? You don't even know me" I said suspiciously.

    I remember how with a smile she said "I'm tired of watching girls and boys dying and losing their minds because of assholes that don't care a bit about us. Here, we are all a family and we take care of each other. Today, as unfortunate as it was, you were brought here and that means that we should protect each other.  My name is Angel. What's your name?" 

"I'm Antanasia" that's all I could say in these circumstances. A family huh, I don't really understand that concept and I didn't know what to think of what she told me but one thing for sure is that I will not die until I have my revenge. That's a promise. 

"I can see the fire burning in your eyes. I like that, it will keep you alive," she said while wiping away my tears. 

"Welcome to Hell Antanasia," she said while smiling " Don't worry, we will have our revenge" she added with a devilish smile.
