I fucking hated this man with a passion I feared would burn my soul and send me straight to the fiery pits of hell. I wouldn’t mind taking a trip there, at least then I might finally be warm.
His jovial, childlike voice used to send chills straight down my spine. Not anymore. I knew he got joy out of my fear, so I stopped giving it to him. He didn’t like that. It filled him with rage, and I took that as a small victory. It was stupid, but at this point, I’d take anything I could get.
Being down here in this hole had changed me, and not for the better. Being petty wasn’t something to be proud of, but down here I felt damn good about it.
I didn’t think my mother would like that much, but I no longer had the heart to care. She was dead, she wasn’t stuck down here being tortured. She had no right to judge me.
No one did unless they experienced what I had. Walk a mile in my shoes and all that bullshit.
The man tsked loudly. “Still not interested in speaking, hmm? You disappoint me today, child. Just as you do every day. I don’t understand it, I don’t understand you, but you’ll come around even if you don’t think you will. I assure you it’ll happen. I’ve never met one of you bitches who didn’t eventually break. You’ll just be one of many, and then you’re going to feel like the stupid little girl that you are when you look back on this little temper tantrum you’re pulling.”
My little temper tantrum? What a fucking dick.
Just how many others had been down here in this hole before me? Why had I never thought about that before now?
Another man chuckled darkly, but I ignored him. I had no idea how many of them were down here with me, and I never usually did. I didn’t think the space was very large, so there couldn’t be that many of them.
I’d only ever heard three different men speak, but that didn’t mean there weren’t more who’d come here but had simply remained silent.
It horrified me to know that there were a bunch of faceless men who had their eyes all over my naked body when that wasn’t something I’d ever chosen to share with another person before on my own.
But these men had taken that away from me like they had so many other things.
I still didn’t understand why. Simply because they could? To teach me a lesson for some wrong I wasn’t aware of? Or were they just sick people and this was how they got off?
I didn’t have any of those answers, and I didn’t think it really mattered at this point. Understanding them wouldn’t make the pain stop, and it wouldn’t take any of this away.
I wanted to open my stupid mouth so I could tell them all to go fuck themselves, but I couldn’t do it. That jovial son of a bitch would get too much joy out of it, and being petty was all I had left, so I chose to cling to it for all I was worth.
“You know what, child? I think it’s time we take a different approach with you, step things up a bit, if you will. We’ll fish you out tomorrow and see if you’re willing to be a bit more cooperative. Maybe you’ll even be sweet enough after to spread those creamy, pale thighs of yours to thank us for taking such good care of you.”
Fingers brushed lightly down the side of my face, and I jerked away from them, making my chains rattle.
I would rather fucking die than open my legs for any of these bastards.
Hands caressed my body as the men moved around me. Fingertips trailed down my spine. A hand roughly squeezed my ass cheek. Someone pinched my nipple.
I will not cry, I swore to myself as I chewed the inside of my cheek to the point where I tasted blood.
Eventually, they got tired of feeling me up, and I heard them climb their way back up the ladder. I heard the metal clank as they pulled the ladder up out of the hole.
I heard the water before I felt it hit my skin, making me yelp. It was icy cold and felt like razor blades slicing at my skin.
I screamed as the water sprayed down on me, jerking as far away as my chains would allow me to get. It never took me out of the spray, there was no way to hide from that.
The sound of male laughter drifted down to me from above. They were up there watching me flail around and enjoying the show greatly.
Their enjoyment made me stop moving and stand still. I wasn’t going to give them the satisfaction of watching me squirm. Fuck that and fuck them.
“As I said, child, we’ll be back in the morning to fish you out, and then we’ll see about getting some gratitude out of you.”
The thought of being fished out of this damn hole sent true terror racing through me, the kind I hadn’t felt in weeks. Hell, maybe it was even longer. I had no clue as to how long I’d been down here. Without my eyesight I could no longer tell when it was day and when it was night. Time ceased to mean anything to me.
I didn’t know how long the water poured down on me, because at one point, I thought I lost consciousness. When I came to, the water was already up to my knees and rising fast. Or maybe it was slow. What did I know anymore?
I did something I hadn’t done since the very beginning when I woke up blind and chained up. I fought, yanking on the chains for all I was worth, which at this point wasn’t very much because the starvation had made my body incredibly weak. They’d feed me, but never enough for it to really do anything for me.
I felt the skin on my wrists, already raw and in agony, tear apart and start to bleed.
