"Why are you doing this to me?" Terra asked the man that had her pressed against the wall.
"Why?" His voice was deep and scary, "Because the boss said so, that's why." He growled as she struggled to escape from his large arms.
"Please, leave me alone!" She cried out as he tied her wrists together and went down to her ankles.
"Stop screamin', I ain't lettin' you go." He said sternly.
Terra tried to calm down, "Why me? Who's your boss? What did I do to him?" She stuttered.
"Nothin'," He shrugged as he tossed her small body over his shoulder, "you just look like you'd make the cut, that's all."
"The cut? The cut for what?" She asked frantically. She didn't like that word at all, it bought back terrible memories she wished she could erase. She moved her head around, trying to remove her wet crimson red hair from her face.
"You'll see soon enough, stop asking so many goddamned questions, girl!" He grunted as he shifted her over to the other shoulder. He walked carefully under the pelting rain so he wouldn't slip and let her escape.
"My name, is Terra." She hissed. She hated being called girl.
"Onix. Real pleasure to meet ya'." He said sarcastically. "Yo, Jake, help me get her inside." He called out to a black van that was parked at the end of the alleyway.
A tall, skinny man hopped out of the van. His raven hair covered his forehead and most of his right eye so she couldn't get a good look at him not to mention it was dark and raining outside. He grabbed her and helped Onix toss her into the back of the van.
"I'm drivin'." Onix snapped as he slammed the doors closed, leaving the other man inside with her. Terra glared at the man. He shook his head, moving his hair from his face slightly to reveal beautiful blue eyes. He looked at her.
"I'm Jacob by the way." He said. His voice was deep but wasn't as scary as the other man. Maybe because he wasn't trying to scare her.
"Terra." She snapped. There was an awkward silence between them until Terra sighed in frustration, "Why are you doing this to me?" She said, her voice almost sounded as if she were whining about it rather than scared or upset.
"I'm sorry about all of this, I didn't want to do this, much less to a pretty young lady like you," He said, sounding honest. Terra felt her face heat up. "but the boss made his orders clear and we gotta do it." He said sheepishly.
"Who's this boss of yours?" She asked, curious to know who these men respected so damn much.
Jacob looked away and didn't answer her question. Terra prayed to God that the 'boss' was as nice as Jacob came off to be. He glanced over at her. She looked troubled, hell why wouldn't she be? He wanted to calm her down, "How old are you anyway?" He asked.
Terra looked at him with narrowed eyes. She didn't really feel like telling these things to a total stranger that's kidnapping her. She hasn't had a real conversation with anyone for years and it was very awkward for her. He looked at her expectantly and she sighed.
"Seventeen." She stated blankly.
"Oh God," He whispered, closing his eyes. He grimaced, "Are you sure?" He asked dumbly.
"Um, yeah." She said, getting slightly confused.
Jacob looked her over. She sure as hell didn't look seventeen. Her body was well developed, her green eyes spoke volumes, she looked as if she'd been to hell and back. Black liner trailed down her face, staining her skin, almost ivory, seemingly flawless. Her hair that was dyed red reached down to her waist in waves, framing her petite figure very well.
He sighed, "I really am sorry for this." He said.
"Let me go and all is forgiven." Terra joked, knowing she wasn't going anywhere soon. He scoffed and shook his head. Her expression mixed into worry, "W-What are they going to do with m-me?" She asked.
Jacob sighed again, not answering. She was becoming very frustrated with the unanswered questions. Her small body shivered violently. Both in fear and she was freezing. Since she was little she has been very sensitive to the cold. It's just one of those things. She wanted to hug herself tightly to control the trembling and keeping warm but she was tied with ropes. Jacob noticed and removed his jacket, placing it over her shoulders.
"T-Thanks." She mumbled. He gave her a small half-smile and sat back down across from her.
The silence carried on until the van came to a sudden stop, making her ram against the metal wall of the van. She winced.
"Come on, Terra." Jacob whispered as he dragged her out of the van. He placed her on the ground and waited for Onix to leave the van. "Hey, listen." He said, grabbing her shoulders. "From here on out, I can't be doing this," He indicated toward himself. She understood he meant being nice to her. "and I'm sorry. Be sure not to piss the boss off, it'll be the last thing you do. I guess what I'm tryin' to say is don't do anything stupid or he'll..." He trailed off and swallowed heavily. He tossed her over his shoulder and started to head inside.
Terra felt miserable. They were going to do something she wasn't going to enjoy. Where was Batman when you need him? She really didn't want this. Her life wasn't nice to her either but she certainly didn't want to die anytime soon, that's for sure. She felt warm tears roll down her face along with the cold raindrops. She prayed to the Lord that she'd be okay. That someone, anyone would save her and soon. A part of her held hope, another reminded herself that life wasn't ever nice to her and that no one would come because no one cared. She bit her tongue. No one ever cared about her, nothing ever went her way. She was very used to it by now but that didn't mean she wanted to die just yet.
Jacob entered some sort of building or warehouse. It was dark inside, barely lit by hallway lights. He put her on the floor and Onix came into the room.
"Boss said to put her in the room. I was dismissed. Good luck, bro." He said, walking past them, patting Jacob's shoulder on his way out.
Just like that, he lifted Terra off the ground and started to walk down the halls. A door was opened and he dropped her on something soft. She turned her head to look but couldn't see a thing. She guessed it was a bed since Onix said 'room'.
Jacob leaned close to her face, "I gotta go. Remember what I told you and you shouldn't have any problems." He started to pull away but remembered something so he leaned back down, "Oh and don't scream or panic, he hates that." He warned before walking out.
"But wait!" Terra called after him. He ignored her and closed the door behind him. She groaned and turned on her side so her weight wouldn't be on her arms too much. She wriggled her hands around, trying to free herself from the binds. She kicked around, trying to release her legs as well. She regretted this when she came flying off the bed and onto the cold wooden floor. She struggled to sit up and get onto her knees but when she finally managed it, she sat on the bed. She sighed. It was too dark to search for something to help her cut the ropes and by now her wrists and ankles had bad burns and hurt like you would not believe.
She decided it wasn't enough to give up and tried to free herself again. Her hair whipped her face when she would buck and jerk around, occasionally getting into her eyes. She listened carefully, trying to hear any sign of someone near by. Nothing ever came but she could swear that she hears the static from a T.V. downstairs. By now she was extremely exhausted and tired. She fought against her eyes as they tried to close. She didn't know when she had laid down into the bed but she realized it was making it harder to stay awake. She was too tired to try and sit up so she lost the battle. Her eyes opened and closed a few times until she lost her consciousness and fell asleep despite she was terrified of what would happen when she was asleep.
