Vena

Her ankle throbbed. Even though she'd never admit to it, it did feel a little better now it was wrapped, propped up, and with the ice wrapped in a cloth her now gently placed on it. She didn't exactly have a plan when she threw that rock. Well she did. To escape. But she knew deep down that would not buy her enough time. Now that moving her leg was a painful challenge any chance of escape again would have to wait.

Now they both sat in the living room. He built a fire and made her tea.

She could see in the corner of her eye he was waiting for her to begin her story. It wasn't easy to tell. But maybe if she told the story, he'd free her. She hated pity from other people. She was much too prideful. But maybe she could actually convince him to let her go. She'd get free and be able to get help for the others that were enslaved.

Collecting herself she shifted slightly to get more relaxed. Gripping the steaming cup of tea she sipped slowly.

'I was only ten years old when my parents died. I was at a friend's birthday slumber party when our house caught fire. Their bedroom was upstairs. Obviously help didn't arrive in time. I was then shipped to my dad's brother, Victor. Technically half brother. I had never met him before. I don't remember ever hearing him even being mentioned by my parents.' A dark chuckle came from her. 'I guess I know the reason now. Maybe they were never close…or maybe my dad knew he was evil. Anyway, I was dropped off in his care at this huge manor. First time he saw me he looked at me like one looks over a purchase before buying. Then he put me in this room with all these women. He instructed them to watch me. Before he left he said,

"Treat her well, ladies. This one will be of very much use to me in the future." Most of them were nice to me. Some just ignored me. The ones that were nice took care of me. I rarely saw Victor for a while after that. A mean scary looking man would come into the room and take out a group of women throughout the day. They'd come back at night. Some would be so tired they'd sleep immediately. Some were crying and looked like they were hurt.'

A tear escaped her now. Looking into her cup she breathed deep.

She heard him come closer and sit by her feet on the floor.

'Go on.' His voice was gentle.

'Sonia was…like a mother figure to me. She was the oldest. But she was only maybe twenty five. One day Victor came in furious. He beat one of the women in front of us. All the women looked terrified. He was screaming about her stealing from a client. She was begging him to stop and saying she didn't steal. Sonia had me in her arms and was trying to shield me from seeing. But I wanted to help the woman. I got loose and pushed Victor back. He didn't see me coming. He stumbled and fell back. The way he looked at me…I was so scared. Sonia tried to hold me back but Victor grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the room.

I was kicking and screaming the whole way. We were going down a hallway and then he stopped at a door. Opening it with a key he grabbed my hair and made me look down the dark stairway.'

"This is where little bad disobedient girls go, Vena. Maybe you need time to think about what you did."

'He threw me down the stairs. It was so cold and dark. I hated the dark. I screamed for him or anybody to let me out. But no one did. I don't know how long I was down there. But I know I was so thirsty and hungry when he let me out. I had peed my pants and he laughed at me. I was then taken back to the women. Sonia and a few of the others helped clean me up and just tried to comfort me. Sonia tried to warn me to stay out of his way. But I couldn't help it. Every time he or one of his men were being mean to one of the girls I'd try and defend them. Once one of his men snuck in the room late one night while we slept. He tried to r**e Sonia while I was asleep in my cot next to her. He covered her mouth and was unzipping his pants. I picked up a hand held mirror and smashed it over his head, cutting his face in the process. What I didn't know was that man was Victor's second in command. Nikolai. The commotion woke up the other girls. Nikolai back handed me and left the room. My lip was busted and my eye started to swell. The next morning Victor had Nikolia bring me to his office that was in the house. He sat there and looked me up and down.

"Vena. I warned you what happens to girls who don't obey. Maybe I think I've been too lenient with you. I hope this lesson you wont forget." He then nodded to Nikolai. Nikolia then ripped my shirt off my back and beat me with a belt. I remember screaming and then I must have blacked out. I woke up on my stomach on the carpet. Nikolia just dumped rubbing alcohol on my bloody back. Victor was still sitting there. Looking completely at ease.

I was then tossed back in the basement.

This went on for years. Until Sonia tried one night to get me out. A few days before, Victor had sent for me. He said I was a lucky girl. I was going to be married in a few short years.'

Gripping the mug tightly she bit her lip hard.

'He took me to his study again. In it was an older man. He looked about in his forties. He smelled of way too much cologne. When he smiled at me, his smile creeped me the hell out.

"Vena, this is Mr. Frank Marlo. Say hello to your future husband. Isn't she pretty, Frank?'

"Yes. Very. She'll be absolutely gorgeous in a few years."

"My gift to you. After all you've done for me, and what better way to unite our businesses? I'd give her to you now, but she needs more time to develop."

"Yes I can see that."

'The man named Frank looked at me like I was a prized piece. I said I didn't want to be married. They both just laughed, which made me mad. I took one of Victor's sculptures off the shelf and smashed against the wall.'

"You can also see she'll be a feisty one, Frank. Nikolia! Come get her.'

I was then sent back to the women instead of the cellar this time. I cried to Sonia and told her what happened. She seemed scared when I mentioned Frank by his name. That night Sonia tried to get me out. She had me drink a little bit of peroxide. It made me vomit. Which made up the perfect excuse that I needed a doctor. Usually there was a doctor that came to the house. But Sonia knew that doctor wouldn't be able to come until late that night. Victor not wanting to lose a future asset had me and Sonia rushed to the hospital with two armed guards. While the nurse stepped out Sonia took the opportunity.

We didn't make it far. The next night we were captured.'

A sob broke from her along with tears.

Johnathan's hands rubbed her arms soothingly.

'They…they tortured and killed Sonia. I was tied up and forced to listen to her screams from the other room.'

Scrubbing the tears away she pressed on. 'After that night I bided my time and acted like the perfect robot. Until just a few days ago I was getting fitted for a wedding dress. The wedding had been planned for the last two years. Vincent and Frank wanted it to be a big show for their…associates. I had been planning too. I had been storing all the money I could steal over time. When I was left alone to change out of my dress I ran out the back of the shop and kept going.'

Looking at Johnathan now she spoke with an almost pleading tone.

'Now do you understand? I can't be held captive again. I need to help the others. So the question is, are you the same kind of monster as the one I just ran from?'
