JUDGE ME AND YOU DIE

~:~

I woke up on my side. Cold concrete beneath me. I opened my eyes too see only darkness. I reached up to rub my eyes but felt my hands tied behind my back. Behind me a door opened letting bright light shine in making me close my eyes.

"Get up." A cold voice said. It sounded like a woman's. I struggled to sit on my knees. Once I did, I lifted my head to see a purple haired woman with slick black clothes on. I only had a few seconds to stare at her because the moment I sat up, she side kicked my face making me fly left to hit the wall of the small concrete room. I tasted blood in my mouth but I didn't struggle. I didn't make a move as she walked over to me and started kicking my stomach. The only movement I made was my eyes unconsciously closing from the pain. I was better than being outside though, so I beared through it. I made grunts as her foot came in contact with my ribs. She wasn't too rough. She was obviously holding back, but it still hurt like hell. I ground my teeth as she continued her tourcher. She stopped and crouched down so she was eye level with me. I opened my eyes and looked at her.

"Kid." She said. She sounded confused and slightly concerned, "Why aren't you fighting back? This is your first lesson. Only the ones who have been here for a few years act the way you are." I continued to look up at her. When I didn't answer, she grabbed my hair and pulled my head up. I closed my eyes once again from pain and ground my teeth as she yelled in my ear. "Answer when someone talks to you!" Anger rising in her voice. She set my head down and I opened my eyes ready to talk.

"Y-yes miss." I said as I looked up at her. My stomach making it hard to talk without stuttering. She looked shocked. Probably because I didn't fight back and was polite even though her and the group she was with kidnaped me, "I don't fight back because-" I winced as my legs shifted making my gut hurt again," B-because I see no point." Her confusion never lifted as I finished my sentence.

"What do you mean 'No point'?" She asked in a mean tone.

I replied as fast as I could, "I don't like to be outside. I rather be here than outside." She took a second to sink in what I had said. I piped up once more to ask a question, "Miss." She turned toward me and snapped out of thought. "May I ask a question?" She responded quickly, her voice sounded considerably softer.

"Yes."

"Does your group kidnap boys and girls and sell them?" She looked at me with no change in expression.

"Yes." She said flatly.

"Then do you mind if I ask of a request." I silently hoped she would say yes. I doubted she would though, seeing as I was pushed up against a cold wall in a cell with my hands tied and blood dripping down my cheek. As she spoke her voice was soft, like most mothers.

"What is it." I looked at her with big eyes.

"If its ok with your group and its leader, I would like to stay here." She looked at me with confusion. "I'll do absolutely anything, just please let me say." I said softly my eyes starting to water. She looked away and talked quietly.

"I have to bring you to the boss for that." She said. "Why would you want to stay here?" She asked. She sounded worried. I was amazed at how soft she could be after kicking me flat just 5 minutes ago.

"I-I don't want to go outside." I said quietly.

"And why is that." She raised her hand and pet my hair.

"Can you take me to our boss so I may ask to stay." She hesitated for a second and I thought she would turned back to me and say 'Ha! You think I'd do that?' And stomp what was left of my fragile body.

"Sure" She got up and grabbed my shoulders and helped me up. Everything hurt but I knew I would have to bare through it. She helped me out of the room and walked behind me holding my tied hands so I couldn't escape. As we walked through the damp and dark hallways, I broke the silence between us.

"Why are you helping me?" I turned my head to look at her but she used one of her hands (which had a gun) to push it back so I faced forward. After a minute she answered.

"You reminded me of someone I knew who never fought back, no matter how bad things got. Plus its my job to break the kids we bring here and you were already broken." We stayed silent the rest of the walk. As he final came to a door she told me the stand still as she opened it. I complied and walked in as she followed. The room was dim and full of buff bad ass looking guys who looked like they had killed a few people, if not more. The smell of beer and cigarettes filled the room, but I was already used to it so it didn't bother me. As I walked in the room seemed the become silent. Everyone stared my way as they moved aside from the middle of the room revealing a small black haired man sitting on a couch with 2 girls next to him trying to get as close to him a possible. He had his legs crossed. He wore long black boots that had blood red laces. He wore a dark red flannel shirt and a black coat that had tan fur at the top surrounding his head. He smoked his cigar as his eyes shifted between me and the woman behind me.

"Vini," His voice was low and rough which sent chills through me. "Why did you bring that kid here?" He sounded bored and unamused as he stared at me with a blank expression.

"Thought yeah wanna here what this kids gotta say." She said poking the pistol's end into my back. My eyes looked around the room slowly, not wanting to get on anyone's bad side although I was probably already there. The black haired man lifted one of his arms off one of the girls next to him and pointed to someone in the crowed and them pointed to me before staring me in the eyes. I looked at my feet. I didn't wear any shoes. I wore my booty shorts and a tank top that was now ripped at the waist. A huge man with tattoos along his arms walked through the crowed and over to me taking Vini's place behind me as she walked over to the black haired man and talked to him quietly. As I stared down at my feet the man behind me moved his hand grabbing my ass making slightly jolt and widen my eyes before relaxing my face again and returning my eyes to my feet. The men and women around the room quietly snickered as they saw my reaction. As the quite laughter filled the room the black haired man's voice rang out loudly.

"Looks like the kid likes his ass touched." The room burst into laughter. I kept my head down, my face turning red. The man behind me shook with laughter making the hand on my ass move making my face get redder. I felt so embarrassed but I rather be here than outside. "So kid," The black haired man spoke again. I turned to face him,"Vini tells me you want to stay here." The laughing stopped and all heads turned to me. I slowly nodded my head once, "Why?" He said in a smooth voice. He paused as he expected an answer.

"B-because I d-don't want t-to g-go outside..." I whispered the last part as everyone stared at me. I looked down at my feet again.

"You don't want to go outside?"

"No."

"Why." I didn't answer the question. Instead I changed the subject.

"I'll do anything if you let me stay here."

"Anything?" He said a smirk forming on his face. I nodded once again and he sat silent for a minute thinking things over.

"What is your name?" He asked while looking at me.

"What ever you please it to be." I said with a straight face. I had said it so many times it wasn't hard not to stutter.

"You don't have a name? What about the name your parents gave you?" I stiffened at the word parents.

"I don't have parents. I worked and lived for myself only." Curiosity seemed to slightly cross his face.

"What did you work as." Once again I stiffened. I stood silently for a few minutes until the man behind me shoved the gun into my back more.

"I-I'm a p-prostitute..." The room broke into laughter until the black haired man cut them off with another question.

"Well I guess that works out for me." I nodded, "I'v always liked the name Eren, so your name will be Eren." Another devilish smirked crossed his lips," You will call me master and you will stay in the room you woke up in. Do you understand?" He's letting me stay. I don't have to go out anymore. I nodded once. "Good. I'll explain the details on the walk back to your cell." Another nod and Master got up of the couch and walked over to me, making me tense as he came near. The man behind me with the gun moved aside as Master untied my bound hands. I let them fall to my sides without rubbing them. I had gotten used to the feeling over the years. Master called out to Vini to get something. She ran off. When she came back she held 2 objects in her hands. One was a black leather collar with the name "Eren" In silver. How they made it so quickly was beyond me. The other object was a long black leash. Master took the collar and lifted my chin up. As I looked up at the ceiling, he clipped the leather collar around my neck. As he put it on he pinched my skin with the clip making me squeak in surprise and slight pain. He chuckled making a shiver run down my spine. He clipped the leash onto the collar and pulled me out the door and into the dark hallway.

Once we were out of ear shoot of the room we had left, Master stopped making me almost run into him. He turned around to face me.

"You didn't answer my question." He said. I had hoped he'd forgotten.

"I didn't." I bluntly stated.

"Would you like to answer why you didn't. I assumed it was because of the amount of people in the room. Am I correct." I nodded not want to use words seeing as my gut still felt like I'd been broken in half. "Can you answer it now?" It wasn't really a question but I nodded anyway.

"When I was 6, some guy took me to his house in this fucked up neighborhood." I stopped and stared at him making sure I didn't mess up by cussing. When he didn't say anything I continued. "H-he would..." I trailed off think of how to out this in words. I took a deep breath to relax myself. "H-he would tie me up outside and fuck me while the neighbors watched. I only felt safe when I was inside cause he never did anything when I was inside. Now I feel too insecure outside and freak out when I go." I looked down at my shoes hoping he wouldn't call me a freak or something.

"How old are you?" He said expressionless. I answered quickly.

"16" He thought for a moment before turning on his heel and pulling my leash long. As he did so, his arm unconsciously swung to hit my stomach. It wasn't hard but since my beating earlier it hurt as hell. I gasped and fell to my knees holding my middle in pain. He kept pulling my leash, not knowing I had fallen, making me fall forward.

"M-master..." I whispered as loud as I could as I blacked out from the pain.
