Forever and ever (sequel to the redneck has feelings?)

The claimed can't claim

Kayla's pov

i lay on the old car garage floor as my tears fall onto the cold, hard ground. I hate this place, I'd rather be dead than be with this group. Any hope now of ever seeing my family again is completely gone. These men won't let me out of their sight for even a second. I've been claimed by the leader of this group named joe. Apparently to own something, you must shout claimed and than no one else can do anything about it. You break the rules and you pay dearly. I tried to explain to the man I was trying to find my husband and kids and his exact words were,

"ya better forget about im sweetheart, you're mine now"

everyone was asleep now except for me. Joe laying next to me snoring. I silently whimper trying to think of any way to get out of this, but I couldn't do it. I started playing with my wedding ring that I kept hidden in my pocket. If joe sees it, he'll take it. Feeling the metal in my hand makes more silent tears fall. I want to be with daryl. I want to hold my kids. I want to feel safe, but that is all over. What's worse is the only picture I ever had of me and daryl was gone. I had dropped it when I first met the claimers and I could never go back to get it. The next morning I heard the guys get up so I quickly sled my ring back in my pocket and got up myself. The claimers were planning on going hunting. I stook by joe like I was told to, but I felt like someone was watching me. I looked up and saw Len across from me starring me down like I was a piece of meat. He licked his lips and I averted eye contact. A lot of these men looked at me like this, Len being the worst, but they haven't seen a woman in a while and that was the only thing I was thankful for being claimed. That meant none of em could touch me. Today I got to go on the hunt because joe was going. I sighed and walked next to him until we came to a clearing. Joe turned to his group,

"we'll hunt around here, kayla you come" he said.

i just nodded and followed behind joe while the men dispersed. I always kept my head to the ground. I hated looking at these men. I started feeling light headed and dizzy,

"you mind if I sit for a second? Feelin dizzy"

he looked back at me,"ya I'll hunt right here. You gettin sick or somethin?"

"no" I sighed and sat against a tree.

"you need to eat somethingn woman, keep yer strength up. I need ya healthy" he smirked.

i rolled my eyes and he went to hunting. I brought my head to my knees and tried to regain consciousness. I hadn't eaten since the prison. I refused to. If I couldn't find my family and couldn't escape this group, I didn't want to live. I looked to make sure joe wasn't looking and took my ring out of my pocket. I slid it on my left finger where it was supposed to be and admired it. I imagined daryls hand with his ring being right next to mine. A tear spilt from my eyes as I thought of the memory. I jumped when I heard,

"what the hell is that?"

i was instantly on my feet when I saw joe had returned and he was glaring at me. Fear overtook my body and I quickly slid my ring off my finger and hid it behind my back,

"nothing" I stuttered.

"you lyin sweetheart? Cause you know that's against the rules" he snarled.

my heart was pounding as I tried to control my breathing. The other group members encircled me and joe. I wasn't gonna win this,

"give it here" he said sticking his hand out.

i was shaking when he came and forcefully snatched my ring from my hands. I tried to think quickly. I couldn't lose the last thing that reminded me of daryl.

"This the ring that the man that left you for dead gave ya?" He asked.

i starred at him and didn't say anything. He chuckled,

"stupid woman. Ya won't be needing this anymore"

no. He couldn't take it. I shook but finally managed to get the words out, "claimed!"

he stopped chuckling and looked at me with an arched eyebrow,"what did you say?"

I looked around at the group of men that encircled us and back at joe. I took a deep breath and pointed at the ring,

"the ring. It's claimed"

joe looked at his men and then back to me. He started chuckling and walked up to me. I froze and my breathing hitched when he stood right infront of me,

"you've been claimed darlin. The claimed can't claim"

My eyes widened and he chuckled at my response along with the rest of the group. I watched as he threw the ring into the forest. I couldn't take it. I yelled,

"no!" And I tried to run in the direction he threw it.

He caught me and chuckled. I death glared him and then he stopped laughing. He snarled at me and slapped me right across the face with such force that I fell on the ground. He stood over me and said,

"that was a warning. If you ever lie again you'll be taught a lesson"

i held onto my stinging cheek and he forced me up, dragging me behind him back to the garage. I looked back at the direction my ring was thrown. The last thing to bring me happiness and hope was gone. The last thing I had of daryl had been torn away from me. I had to end this.
