Chapter 1: Caught
I open my eyes feeling dizzy. Everything is hazy. "Where am I ?" is the first thought that comes to my head.
Regaining some sense of sight and smell i notice I'm in chains, held above the ground by my wrists. Everything hurts. That smell, is that.......ugh s**t and piss. Disgusting. Must be a nightmare. I'm in my underwear only and cuts even needle marks all over my body.
"He..help!", "Help!"
My ragged shouts for a saviour fill the room for about 10 minutes before the door opens.It fills the dark room with light for a split second and I can see others held up like me. Some missing body parts. Others drenched in their own blood. This was real. All of it.
A man clears his throat while turning on a lone hanging bulb. "Morning sunshine. Well you wouldn't know since you've been unconscious but what the heck."
"Where am I ?, who are you ?"
I hear him shuffle. "I can't answer that Layla. Ask me something else."
How does he know my name.
"What do you want with me ?". I look into the darkness. "With us ?".
"Oh, I guess you would find out sooner or later. You have been specially handpicked to be in a game of sorts. Well this is just the vetting phase. Need to know if you're pure enough to partake."
I know I'm in trouble but I have to get answers or stall till I find out how to get away. "Pure ?, game ?. What do you mean ..... you kidn*pped me . Let me go."
He let's out a chuckle. "Tsk, tsk. You have a lot of people looking for you. If I let you go you might lead them straight to us and we can't have that now can we."
"Us ?. There are more of you." Realization dawning on me. How was I going to get out of here.
Footsteps. He enters the light. I see him now. Brown hair,tall and on the thin side. He's wearing goggles, gloves and a waterproof apron. The kind you see killers wear on tv. His smile reaches his eyes like a kid at the fair before he talks.
"More than you will ever know."
Beg. Beg for your life. My mind goes into overdrive. It's the only thing I can do now.
"Please don't kill me. Whatever you think you have to do u don't. Let me out. I'll tell them I got into an accident, got lost or something. Please."
Goggle man literally laughs in my face.
"Sorry I can't. It's time for you to disappear now."
Fear coats my features. "Wh...what?!. No no please."
"Guards!"
I try. "Why ?. U said you had to make sure I was pure first."
He sighs. Maybe because he was already irritated by my questions or at my ignorance of my situation.
"I did and your not pure so you are not needed."
Just then 2 burly men enter the room.
Goggle man nods to them. "Kill and burn her. She is of no use to us."
"No please no."
They unchain me and drag me by my hair. My screams echo of the walls. My voice never to be heard again.
"On to the next one."
