“I’m scared, Ivan.” Her lips tremble and I vow from this moment on to protect her against everything bad in this world.
“I know…” I pick up the ripped shirt and put it on her. She wraps her arms around herself and lies down on the mattress with her back facing the door. I lean over her shaking body and kiss her hair before getting up. “I’ll be back.” I whisper.
I stick my head out the door and look down both sides of the hallway. When I don’t see or hear anything I go back and grab hold of Yulie’s arm. I pull him into the hallway, and kick the door shut on my way out. I drag his ass all the way into the examining room down the hall. I toss his lifeless body into the corner, wishing he would wake up just so I could kill him again.
No one should come in here anytime soon, since all the checks were done today but just in case I lock the door behind me. I stand there for a long moment, letting myself digest everything that just happened. I squeeze my eyes shut, an image of my sister Mira dead in the road appears in my mind.
I fucking failed her and now I’m failing Violet too.
I might have killed Yulie, but the marks on Violet’s body will take time to heal, reminding me of how I wasn’t there to protect her, how I lied to her. The need to punch something courses through my veins. I want to destroy, rip, tear, kill. I want to feel Yulie’s warm blood coat my hands. I want vengeance for Violet, something that I won’t be able to give her since I had to make the bastards death quick. Escaping this place should be easy, but doing so with Violet, and trying to remain hidden for however long needed, that I’m not sure about. I run a hand through my hair. Is she even going to want to come with me after everything she just witnessed?
I don’t know why I ask myself that. Of course she is. The last place she wants to stay is here. But is she still going to want my hands on her? I’ve grown attached to her, and every single part of my body calls to her. I want her, completely, and enough to give everything up.
Walking back to her cell and look through the one-way mirror. She is right where I left her and I just stand there for a moment looking at her. The only way I’ll get her out of this place is if I let her go to the auction, I’ll just need to find a way to take her before she actually walks on that stage. I start pacing up and down the hallway, there is no way in hell I’m letting her cell door out of my sight. If someone happens to come down here other than Gabe to deliver food, I will not look too suspicious just walking down the hall. Every time I walk by her cell I peak in just to make sure she is still sleeping and every time I see her body still on the mattress I feel a sliver of relieve enter my body.
After what seems like an eternity of pacing up and down the hall, Gabe finally comes around the corner, pushing a cart full of food trays.
When he looks up and spots me heading towards him he flinches.
“Hey Boss… didn’t expect to see you down here.” I just give him a brief nod. I don’t have to explain myself to this guy and he knows that.
I walk past him and around the corner where he can’t see me but I can still hear him. I count him opening and closing six food slots. Four girls were sent out today. I know this because I gave Luca the okay to take them to Rossi and his friends.
When he is done and I hear him walking back down the hall, towards where I am standing. I walk back around the corner as if I’d just returned to speak to him.
“Hey Gabe… tomorrow is my off day so I’m going to take number five upstair to pass my time if you know what I mean. So don’t worry about bringing her food again until Monday.”
“Sure thing boss.” He scurries past me pushing the cart in front of him and I follow him to the elevator pretending I’m taking the stairs back up. When the elevator door close behind him I turn around and head back to her cell.
I unlock it and step inside. She isn’t moving, the pills having knocked her out good just as I had hoped they would. At least if she’s knocked out her body can heal and she isn’t in any pain.
