When Worlds Collide

Chapter 23

IMPORTANT

*This next part with Roxanna is NOT for the faint hearted, it gets very intense, violent and a bit gruesome*

~Roxanna~

I have been here for at least 4 or 5 weeks now, I can tell that big boss is pissed off with the drop in profit since I've been here, but I'm sticking to my guns. Everyday is a living hell, the minutes are rolling into hours which roll into days which roll into weeks now, I don't know what day or time it is, I've been stuck in this damn chair in this stupid chair for what feels like forever. I'm starting to feel broken but I can't give in, I have to stand my ground. I've been getting beaten and tortured everyday, it's the same old thing, Robert gives the other members the commands when the boss isn't in here, they beat me, the boss comes in and they all run off and Robert covering his 'outfit' for Stefano to act innocent. 

Stefano does the same routine when talking, he kneels down talks stands up and walks away, today was no different. I'm beaten, in pain, feeling weak, bleeding out of my nose and a busted lip, but I keep hiding it all, I won't break or give up...no matter how much I want it to end, I won't give in. Stefano came and kneeled in front of me "this can all be over in 1 second, you can be free, all you have to do is join us" he says looking slightly confused as to how I look so bad,  I muster what strength I have left, weak and injured I stand my ground "ne...nee...never, I...I stick to...to...to my...to my guns" he gives me a small faulted smile "ok kid, sorry I can't help until you agree" then gets back up and leaves then Robert takes his 'cover' off and getting back to torturing me, it's mainly been beatings, sometime with an object, other times just bare knuckled and getting slashed and stabbed, but today, today Robert decided to take this whole thing up to another level, him and 2 other men cut off all my clothes leaving me in just my underwear, he has a poker iron that's literally red it that hot 's**t' is the 1st thought in my head as I see him bringing it towards me I scream "BASTARD!" as he pushes the burning metal against my shoulder, I can't move due to the straps holding me down, he comes close up to me staring me in the eyes so I spit the blood out my mouth into his face although that probably weren't my smartest moment as he brought a vile with something in, "open up b***h" he says to me absolutely livid, of course I won't listen to him and of course he isn't happy about it, but I'm not happy being here so it's tough s**t, "you will drink this, and suffer" I give him a look that's says not happening to which he responds by force or tries to, he tries to force my mouth open with his filthy fingers but I respond by biting down making him bleed, I smile inside.

He then walks away, talks to the men and puts a band-aid on his finger, but it bleeds through so he has to bandage his finger up which I have to admit gave me some joy inside that I hurt him, you don't mess with a girl, how does that saying go again?.....Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned....I think, anyway what happened next I wouldn't think he would do. He comes back over with his men, his shock me and he stands ready with the vile but I refuse to open my mouth so I groan keeping my lips sealed tightly having my eyes closed tight, the electricity coursing through my body stops so I open my eyes although I wish I never as the next thing I knew the men were scolding me with hot water, as hard as it is I still keep my eyes closed, then 1 of them stab my stomach but twist the knife then keep doing that until they sliced me open, I was more shocked at the blood pouring out 'I'm going to die' was my thought but again I'm not opening my mouth until they brought what looked like the poker stick but with a pattern that I couldn't make out, as the man came closer so did Robert with that vile, he gave a nod then before I knew it I was getting scolded, shocked, and that hot looking stick pushed hard against my skin all at once, I couldn't take it and let out a loud scream as I did Robert poured the contents of the vile down my throat then he gestured for the men to stop....which....they did, but Robert quickly taped my mouth shut so I had no choice but to swallow he even held my nose to make sure I swallowed, when I did I felt worse. 

The next thing he rips the tape off which hurt like hell, I spat blood on him again then he gagged me and taped my mouth again then everything, he had an evil grin on his face and then everything went black as I passed out.

Myself, Tyra, Lucas, Jack, Derrick and Matty are talking whilst chilling at the park. We're all a band you see, you have Tyra who plays keyboard and sings, she has a soft voice...angelic even. She's really sweet and kind, but is also very observant. You then have the other female in our band, Sophia, she plays bass and doesn't sing. Sophia is the opposite of Tyra, she's like Satan's spawn but she's really good on bass, plus every group has a bitchy person...right? Apart from that flaw she's not so bad. Next we have is Jack, he plays guitar and is very skilled at it, he does the guitar solos. Jack is....well...Jack is mute, he doesn't speak but like Tyra, is very observant. Thankfully Tyra knows sign language so is able to translate what Jack signs, just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean he should be left out. Then there is my twin Matty, we're identical which we do have fun with when we want to be mischievous, he also plays guitar and sings back up for me. He is the complete opposite of me but also very similar as we are identical, we have our spats but I'd be lost without him. Then there's Derrick, our drummer, he is amazing at the drums. When he starts talking it's hard to shut him up, but he has a heart of gold, he goes the club with me whenever I go, Derrick is an amazing friend. I sing and also play keyboard when Tyra sings, I'm the main dancer during guitar solos or help set up whatever is needed, as well as playing guitar and keyboard and singing, I'm a tech geek. So that's pretty much a full introduction to the band, the band is called The Band With No Name, we couldn't agree on a name so Tobias came up with that and we liked the sound of it, so that's how we got our name. Tobias is a very good friend of ours, we've known him for years, we all went to the same high school together and became friends there so we've known each other a very long time. It was actually Tobias's idea that we formed a band after hearing us all together out of pure boredom, we gave it a go and haven't looked back since.

"We don't see a lot of T since he got put on that Roxanna chicks case" Tyra says and she was right, I also forgot to mention Sophia LOVES gossip....but what else do you expect off someone like her? Of course she had a comment to add "knowing him, he's probably trying to help her hide. I heard they use to be besties when they were younger, they're probs best mates again", now I know he has a huge heart....but I also know he's very professional at his job, it's been his dream for years, as long as I've known him he's wanted to be a police officer. Now he is I can't see him risking it, I just ignore Sophia's comment because I just don't do gossip or bitchiness "I'd love to meet this chick taking up so much of his time and running circles around the cops" I say, I really would, my twin Matty agrees "she does sound interesting, I'll give ya that".

Tyra is then being her observant self "hey Luc, why haven't you and D been that club recently?", Derrick is the 1 to answer her before I could "it's not as good now" "not since Anna Xor stopped performing there" I add "place does get pretty packed when she's there" Matty says, I agree with him "you can say that again" I can't disagree because he's right, I then gave him a look to say don't you dare repeat what you said, he often does to wind me up....but I guess that's what twins do, we then seen Tobias in uniform walking so I'm  guessing he's on patrol, he starts to walk towards us, when he sees us he comes over to us.
