I don't know how long I have been kept here. My sense of direction had gone to shit.
My body felt out of sorts, I had the constant urge to throw up every time I opened my mouth.
My head felt like it was split open with an axe, and my lips were swollen from Vixen's punches.
I was a mess.
Vixen strolled in with that look of contempt on her face as she stared at me.
"You don't look so good." she taunted.
My head lulled to the side, unable to keep it straight. My body was weak.
"I feel sick," I told her.
She scoffed, her lips thinned in displeasure. "You would say anything to get out of here, huh?"
I shook my head, "No, I want to throw up."
She shook her head in disgust and turned away from me just as Alice came in with yet another stale food.
"Time to eat," she said in a singsong.
"I don't want to," I said.
"I wasn't giving you a choice. Don't make me shove it down your throat. You seem to get off on violence don't you?" she said as she patted my cheek.
"I am not feeling well," I told Alice.
"Save it," she snapped.
I kept my mouth shut, she brought the spoon to my lips expecting me to open up but I just kept staring at it.
"Open up," she said.
I ignored her and stared at the spoon. The nausea hit me.
Her hand gripped the back of my hair, the pain from her grip forced my jaw open and she shoved the food in my mouth.
I threw up.
"Fuck!" she yelled.
I felt her hand hit the side of my face sending my head flying sideways. I saw darkness dance around my vision before it cleared.
"You bitch!" she seethed.
Normally I would feel the satisfaction of throwing up on her but it didn't work today. I was feeling bad.
Vixen held my head back as Alice force-fed me till I was forced to throw up again on myself.
"You reek," Vixen snapped.
I wish I could snap back and say it was their fault but I had no energy left in me.
"Yeah, we should clean her up," Alice suggested.
I opened my mouth to thank them. I still felt the urge to throw up with the stink on me.
My words died in my throat when my whole body froze. The ice water they dumped on my head made my body tremble.
Their laughter filled the air as they took photos of me with the promise of showing this side of me to the world.
All I could hear was their cackling and their mocking words as I sat there pitifully drenched in water and my vomit.
I narrowed my eyes at them, "thank you,"
Their laughter stopped abruptly, Vixen stepped forward with a sneer.
"Don't act like you are better than us, bitch."
"You know, the boss won't be here till later. He didn't say we couldn't have fun with her." Alice suggested.
I froze.
I stared up at them, whatever fear I felt in my body, I tried not to reflect it in my eyes. They cannot break me.
Even if they do, I won't let them know it.
"You are right." Vixen agreed.
I pep-talked myself in my head. Telling myself Killian would be here soon and everything would be over.
I closed my eyes and willed my body to go numb from whatever it was they wanted to do.
I felt a hand grip the back of my hair making pain shoot up my scalp.
"Open your eyes," Vixen said.
I opened my eyes slowly, "There, they are open."
"Good, I want you to see who did this to you," she said.
Suddenly I couldn't breathe. Goosebumps darted across my arms and spread to my toes.
She dunked my head into ice water. The water filled my mouth and I swallowed just to breathe.
I felt the oxygen pulling away from me, just when I succumbed to the inevitable hands of death.
She pulled me out.
I sputtered, my chest burned from the torture.
"Oh you poor thing, too cold?" Alice asked.
She flicked a lighter on and off, her smile more devilish than I have ever seen.
"Let me warm you up." she stepped closer to me.
"Hold her hand out," she told Vixen.
They stretched out my cold hand to her and she flicked the lighter back on near my fingers.
My eyes widened and I tried to pull away but I couldn't.
I gritted my teeth as the pain traveled from my fingertips to my brain.
"Stop!" I yelled.
She did just to submerge my head back inside the water. They repeated the process so many times that I lost count.
And when my body couldn't take it anymore, I passed out.
"Wake up," a hand gently patted my cheek.
I blinked my eyes open and let out a cry of joy when I saw Killian's worried face staring back at me.
I started crying as he kissed my forehead assuring me that he was here.
"You are safe. I am here," he said as I wrapped my arms around him like a koala.
I cried into his shoulder, my relief evident that he found me.
He said something that I didn't hear.
"What?" I asked.
"Wake up, you bitch!" a slap jolted me from my dream.
My confused gaze met that of a smug Vixen's. Maybe it was my vulnerable state or I saw Killian, and I started to cry.
I was frustrated, to say the least.
I burst into tears as they laughed at my suffering.
"This is just the beginning." Vixen taunted me.
I cried even harder.
"You passed out on us. Shall we continue?" Alice said as she brought out a camera.
"You have been recording me?" I asked.
"Yes, how else are we going to show Killian that we broke you?" Alice asked.
A shudder went through me. This wasn't a jealousy game.
It was way past that. My fear tripled when Vixen fished out a knife and walked towards me.
"Now, where were we?" she asked.
I scooted back from fear, "Don't come near me." I yelled.
"Shut it."
She yanked my hair back, the knife in her hands on my chest.
I didn't breathe.
"What part of your body would you like to lose? I am sure Killian wouldn't want you when he discovers that you are not complete."
"No, s...stop!" I yelled.
"Shhh, don't make me angry," she said softly.
The knife traced my body leaving tiny cuts and marks as she mused where to hurt me first.
"Ahhh found it." she rested the knife on my lap.
She raised her hand to bring it down and inflict pain on me when the door flew open.
"Freeze!"
