It was growing dark outside as he dragged us along. We walked for a while before we reached an empty ally way. My father brought us to the end of the ally before stopping. I stayed still while holding Eri, but my mother was still trying to break free. I was scared my father would do something to her, but he didn't even look her way. I looked around until I saw some figures in the distance. They kept walking towards us until they stopped a little bit away from my father.
"What's with the woman? I thought it was only the two kids you were selling." One of the men said glaring at my mother. There was about three of them in the ally way. "This stupid bitch was being stubborn, do what you want with her. I really don't care, she's free." My father said coldly. My mother was shaking while she stared up at him. I could clearly see the look of betrayal in her eyes.
The man in front reached in his pocket and handed my father a stack of money. I watched my father smile and take the money from his hand. "Their all yours!" My father said happily. He threw my mom to one of the men. Then he handed me to another. The guy holding me gripped my arm really hard, I almost dropped Eri from the pain. I quickly looked for my father only to see him walking away. I winched at the pain from the man tightening his grip. That's when I began to panic.
"NO! Come back, please!" I screamed out. It was no use now. He didn't even turn to look back at us. He just sold his wife and children with no regret. I heard a quite cry and quickly turned my head. The guy holding my mother threw her into a wall. My eyes widen as I watched her cry on the ground. "Now, let's have fun with our freebie" the guy said. My mother tried to crawl away but she was to late.
The two guys slowly walked over to her. They stood right in front of her, then they started to hit her without stopping. "S-STOP IT! Leave my m-mom alone!" I helplessly shouted out. They only scoffed and ignored me. My mother was sobbing and trying to escape with all the strength she had but her frail body didn't agree. I wanted to look away so bad from the horrible scene in front of me, but the guy holding me forced me to watch. I saw every hit, and all the blood.
I don't know how long it was, it felt like it would last for eternity. Their disgusting laughs were echoing throughout the whole ally. They only stopped when she was bruised, bleeding, and on the brink of death. She had stopped fighting a little bit ago, due to her being exhausted. The man holding me let me go, and I ran to her side. I heard him laughing as I ran but it didn't matter to me.
She was barely breathing and blood was everywhere. Her eyes were could barely stay open. "My sweet c-children... I'm.. s-so sorry.." She mumbled out gasping after every word. She gave a weak, small smile and with her trembling hand, she cupped my face, just before her chest stopped moving. I saw one final tear roll down her face, and then the light vanished from her eyes.
Her body went limp and her hand fell down. I could only stare in shock. "M-mom?" I said before franticly grabbing her hand, only to get no response. "N-no! please c-come back! I'll be better.. I promise..." I yelled while sobbing. There was still no answer. I just looked at the lifeless body in front of me. I knew I had to accept her death, but I just couldn't. She wasn't the best to me but she was still my mom.
I cried and held Eri tight. I was so afraid of those men taking her. My arms were weak so the only thing I knew I could do was run. I heard footsteps behind me and I knew I had to go. When I turned around to run, one of them snatched Eri out of my arms before I could even get up. I knew I was weak but this was worse than I thought. I couldn't even try and fight back.
She started crying at the sudden movement. I was panicked that they would hurt her like they did to my mom. Instead they scoffed and gave her some type of shot that made her fall asleep. "Please don't! She's all I h-have! Give her b-back!" I yelled out making one of them grab me harshly. He then held the back of my neck tight so I couldn't move.
"God kid! Your so fucking noisy." He said while quickly putting tape on my mouth. "I'll take the boy, you guys can have the little girl." The guy holding me said. I didn't know what was happening, but I knew it wasn't anything good. I couldn't even scream because the tape held my mouth shut, and muffled any noise I tried to make. I could only cry and attempt to struggle. He let my neck go and grabbed my arm tightly as he dragged me away while the other guys took Eri in the opposite direction.
I watched them carry her limp body away from me. I felt so useless in that moment. I couldn't even put up a good fight because of how tired I was. Nothing could prepare me for where the man was taking me though. I only hope Eri was taken some place different. He dragged me along while I stumbled every step.
I don't know how far we walked, but somehow we made it to a little shack. It wasn't anything special just a little worn down building. He went up to the door and said some strand of numbers. I can't seem to remember what they were. Everything was all muffled to me.
We went down some stairs and reached a hall with what looked like a cell door. The guy holding me shoved me into the room then slammed the door and locked it. "Let m-me out!" I screamed as loud as I could. I don't even know if anyone could hear me through the thick walls. I got no response so I guess they couldn't. "p-please.." I silently cried out. My voice was shaking and full of panic. I went to the corner of the small room and cried into my legs.
"Why does every bad thing happen to me? What did I do to deserve all this? I couldn't even protect the one person I wanted to, even my mother died. Now I really am a failure to everyone. I need to survive, so I can escape one day and find her. Just wait for me eri, I swear I'm coming for you." I thought to myself.
I finally calmed down and looked around trying to get used to my surroundings. It was a small room that had a little mattress in the corner with a thin blanket and small pillow on top. It also had a toilet bolted on the wall with a little sink next to it. That was everything I could see in the dim room.
"I wonder what this place is... Why I was brought here?" I thought while making my way over to the mattresses in the corner. I eventually laid down on the basically brick bed and passed out because of all the stress. It hurt to lay on the bed but it was batter than the floor.
I couldn't even properly process it all, and I had already cried my eyes out. Now I was just numb from everything. I didn't sleep for long despite being super exhausted. That's because when I closed my eyes, my mothers death replayed in my mind, and I had to watched Eri be taken all over again. It took me a while but I managed to fall asleep.
>time skip<
It's been about two days since I was locked in this room. I only saw one person, and he gave me food through the little slot in the wall. Other than that I didn't see anyone else. They still haven't told me why I'm here. I knew it couldn't be for anything good though, why else would I be in a call room. I was staring at the wall, which I often did now. Then suddenly the door opened up. The loud creak startled me and I jump closer to the wall.
"Cell mate 462. Get ready, your first guest will arrive soon. Be sure to follow what they say or else you will face serious consequences. Do not fail us." The guard said. I'm assuming these guests are the reason I'm here. I was terrified of what he meant by that. Who was this guest? What are the consequences if I fail?
I think it's been about 10 minutes since the guard left, I have no real concept of time here so I don't really know. My thoughts were interrupted by the door creaking open. I saw a weird looking man walk through. The man started walking towards me with an evil grin on his face. I started shaking more and more as he creeped closer, evil was radiating off of him.
He grabbed me by my hands and held me down on the little mattress "What a-are you doing?! Stop!" I yelled while thrashing around. I soon realized that my little body was no match to his, especially since I was exhausted and injured.
"Come on sweetheart. Don't worry, this is going to be fun. Just follow what I say." He said leaning closer to me. I started crying harder when I felt his hand touch my skin. My mind went blank from all the fear.
(I'm not writing further because that is just not something I want to describe in detail)
He did terrible things for so long that I feel numb and broken after, I couldn't even believe what had just happened. I was appalled by the whole thing, but I could barely fight back against him. "You were a fun one sweetheart. I'll have to rent you again." The man laughed while putting his clothes on. He winked at me as he walked out. And the door slowly creaked shut.
Disgust was overwhelming me.
I blankly stared at my clothes across the room and crawled over to them so I could put them back on. Everything hurt to move. I felt so disgusting and unclean now. Like no matter how many times I would wash myself his touch would never leave my skin.
I looked at the marks he had left on my body and felt something snap, the urge puke immediately took over. I ran over to the toilet and threw up the food they had given me before he came. The food was disgusting anyway but the taste was so much worse back up. I went back over to my bed and tried to cover my body up with the thin little blanket I had. I hated feeling unclean, this was worse than any beating my father gave me.
I finally knew where I was now. I regret being so curious before. This was pure hell that would never end, according to what the guard said to me. I sobbed harder than I ever had. I didn't think I could even cry again considering how much I cried before. I realized I would have to do that again when the next guest came. I was going to be put through that hell again and again with no way to stop it.
I cried unwillingly reliving what happened over and over again in my mind. I got no rest, every time I closed my eyes I would have only nightmares. My only will to keep living now was that one day, I would escape and find my sister again. Eri had now truly become my only motivation to continue living.
Eri, my lovable little sister, please tell me your not where I am. Please tell me you aren't. I hope they realized you're to young for this I wish I could protect you. I'm willing to endure this as long as your okay. Just wait for me and one day I'll find you, I promise.
