Ben's POV
I had to go back to England for a few days because dad was staying there for a week. He was gonna travel back to Canada again but before that, he wished to see me. I didn't tell him that I was in Romania. If he knew I was here searching for her he wouldn't let me.
I couldn't call her while I was in England and it wasn't safe either. I didn't want anyone to know that I had found her. Dad only gave me one condition, 'never search for her' otherwise I wasn't allowed to travel unaccompanied.
The only reason I lived that day was so that I could meet her one more time in this lifetime. Dad gets worried for me. I get it but I have no other choice. I only sought solace from her even though we were far far away from each other. There was no helping it, I needed to find her.
The moment I landed in Romania I tried to track Bella's phone. It didn't connect at first. It was distressing. I decided to drive near her house and check on her myself but gladly the tracker started working after a while. She's probably at home I thought but instead I saw her going deep into the city of Cluj-Napoca. Where is she going? I got anxious about her safety...
"Where the hell are you going, Bella?" I made a sudden U-turn near the cross-section and turned my car around hastily. I stepped on the accelerator because I need to get there fast. It'll probably take like thirty minutes if I can keep up this speed.
I tried calling her but it showed her phone was unreachable.
"God damn it!" I punched the steering wheel in frustration.
I need to calm down. I opened the glove compartment to get my pills and gulped two down. I hope this keeps me in control for the time being.
It took like ten minutes for the call to connect and finally, I heard her voice from the other side.
I struggled to keep my voice calm...it was hard. I was telling her to leave that place as soon as possible. All of a sudden, I heard a sharp whimper from her side.
"Bella?" I kept saying her name, devastated, anticipating it but never got any reply.
Bella's POV
I felt a sharp pain in my stomach when I opened my eyes.
"Look the bi**h is awake. Now it's gonna be more fun. " A masked guy yelled from beside me recording the scene on his phone. I was horrified to see a guy, wearing a robber's mask, on top of me. I wanted to push him but my hands were tied to the tree over my head. I couldn't feel my back. It felt frozen because of the cold snow. My mouth, tightly taped to my ears so I couldn't shout. I tried wriggling my hands in hope of freeing them but it was of no use.
"Come on, what are you waiting for! I need my turn too," The other masked guy yelled again.
I was traumatised by the situation I was in. The guy on top of me was looking at me without blinking his eyes. I couldn't even move my legs because of his weight on me. But I realized my devastated eyes couldn't melt his restless heart that was beating, overwhelmed by his sweetest reward, my virginity. Because the next thing he did was rip my shirt off swiftly with his one hand. His cold and rough hands touched my bare body like he had never touched a woman's figure before. I whimpered in disgust at the sudden shock of being touched by an unknown man. I looked in horror at the other guy praying he might show some mercy. But his eyes were thirsty, hungry like a vicious wolf, waiting to eat me, devour me with his precious comrade.
I clenched my fists in loathing as the guy on top tore down my tights, caressing my thighs, licking them as a hound does to its prey. I was shivering in pain, my whole body was aching. For a moment, I wanted my soul to leave my body and never come back. I didn't wanna see my face anymore... ever...
"Ah hell yeah! Bite them," the other thug, recording, spoke again, inciting him to enjoy the tempting ransom that they got free of cost.
But he was already too absorbed looking at me from down there too afraid to touch even. I cried in horror, for what was about to come to me... Will I be able to survive this nightmare?
What will happen after this? My whole life flashed right before me…
Mom, dad, how will I ever face you guys again? I just realised I created more opportunities for people to make fun of me again. Where will I go after this? Everyone will raise fingers at me. The unlucky one, the one who got raped by animals. Used, shameless and pathetic. I was on my way to face the cruelty of society after this bad dream, which is, even more, uglier than this. How will my parents confront them? Are they gonna be ashamed of their daughter? What about Ben? Will I still be his beloved anymore? Will he still want me like before? Burning tears ran down from the corner of my eyes and hit the surface of the snow, vanishing the next second, as if I never even cried….
Thousands of questions lingered in my mind as I lay there blankly, silently, looking at the two rapists who were preparing their manhoods to take my savoured virginity….
"Hey, hey! Inject her with the drug you brought! She will become horny and jump like a crazy bit*h on top of ya," The other guy exclaimed with excitement.
I don't know what I was injected with but it didn't feel good. My whole body burned as if I was set on fire, every limb screamed in pain…
I was feeling extremely hot. It felt like the snow under my body was melting. I was losing myself. My vision was getting blurry…
I understood the guy on top of me was about to enter inside me when suddenly I heard a horrifying scream. I looked in front of me, shocked and saw the headless thug who was sitting still, on top of me. Slowly his body fell beside his chopped down head. I cried out in horror, still fighting to comprehend what just happened…
Then I saw him in a blurred vision, a man with an bloody axe in his hand, wearing a black jacket. My eyes were giving up on me. His face was completely blurry.
I failed to discern if he was an illusion of my mind or reality.
