Save Me

Chapter 9

I blinked my eyes open and stared around the room I was being held captive in. There were about nine or ten other girls in the room including me and they all were doing their own thing. My hands were tied behind my back and I was laying on a bed, which was one of many. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out because I was too scared to talk. All the girls looked older than me and I didn't know what they wanted to do with me or what they were gonna with me. One of the many girls with blonde hair looked over at me her brown eyes meeting mine as a smile formed on her face.

"Hey guys, she's up." She said and all the girls stopped what they were doing and looked over at me. I stared at all of them my eyes wide and my mouth agape as I felt the tears well up in my eyes.

"She looks young, how old are you sweetie?" My eyes darted over to the short, brunette with green eyes standing closest to my bed.

"I-I'm 15." I managed to stutter out only for her eyes to widen as she looked over at the other girls.

"And what's your name?" Another brunette asked her dark brown eyes keeping eye contact with me as I watched her take a step towards me.

"Riley. Riley Everhart." I said and the first brunette that talked to me gave me a wide smile before she sat down on the end of my bed.

"Hi, Riley, I'm Ramona." She smiled and reached around me her long fingers working on untying the rope around my wrists.

"I'm Melina." The other brunette said bending down in front of me to stare me straight in the eyes. "And none of us here are going to hurt you, none of us want this so we help each other out okay? Especially the young ones and you are the youngest here so we are gonna look out for you and nothing bad will happen to you while you are with us. I'm one of the oldest and I've been doing this for a few years now so I'm pretty experienced. Both Ramona and I help with the new girls or the young girls." She said and I felt the rope drop off of my wrists causing me to instantly pull my wrists up to my chest and rub them gently.

"How's your face feeling?" Ramona asked coming around the bed to stand next to Melina.

"It hurts." I said remembering that the boy who bought me had punched me in the face.

"Yeah, Cody is notorious for hurting the younger girls. See, there are two sections here, the younger and older girls. This room is for all the girls age 15 to 18, so like the underage girls and then there is another room for 19 and up. Cody takes care of this room and all of us which can sometimes be good and sometimes be bad. He isn't the best but he isn't the worst, the older girls have it worse." Melina said sitting on the bed next to what I assumed would be my bed. At least I knew the boys name now so I didn't have to keep calling him mystery boy.

"How old are you two?" I asked putting my hands on my face since they were slightly cold.

"Both of us are 17, I turn 18 in a month and Ramona turns 18 in about three months." Melina said as Ramona motioned another girl over here. This girl was a Latino with her tan skin, long, dark black hair and perfect body. She had heavy eye make up and stared me down before crossing her arms over her chest.

"Camila can you get me a cold towel please?" Ramona asked nicely and the girl, Camila, glared at me before letting out a huff and stomping across the room to what I assumed was a bathroom.

"Right now there are about ten of us but by the end of the day there will only be five of us. I don't know why Cody brought another girl into this, he just complained that he needed to clean up some of the girls that were here." Melina said as I stated at her confused.

"How long was I passed out?" I asked pressing my hands to my aching face.

"Um you got here last night and it's about one o'clock now so I would say a decent 12 hours maybe." She said as Ramona nodded and Camila came back a wash cloth in her hands. She handed it to me her eyes still glaring at me causing me to shift uncomfortably.
