Chapter 1

Aerith's family was not a normal family. Of course, it may have been more normal then any other family in that town. Her mother's name was Ifalna and her father was dead. As a child, she'd been bounced through homes, most notably, the home of Elmyra. The woman had kept her until she was 6 and they'd felt like an actual family. But she was taken away and given to a woman Minerva, with absolutely no explanation as to why.

In the beginning, she resented Minerva. She wanted nothing more, but by the time Minerva decided to get married, they had become closer then she could imagine.

Minerva married a man name William, who had adopted a child of his own. It was a weird set up, they all seemed like strangers at one point. But they grew on each other, and their lives were fairly normal until one evening in July…

It was 6 O'Clock in the evening and Genesis was determined to eat as much junk food as he could before dinner. He was sprawled out on the couch with a bag of potato chips tucked under one arm and a large two liter of cola under the other. On the table in front of him was an array of sweets and drinks.

He smiled at them, Minerva would never approve of this, but that was the point. He wanted to make her head explode in anger. He found it quite hilarious when she was angry and went well out of his way to make sure she was greatly irritated everyday.

"Genesis?" he heard her call. His smile grew and he took a large gulp from the cola, "Genesis, can you-" her eyes almost bulged out of her head, "Genesis! Where did you get all of this?" she demanded.

"I found it." he said through a mouthful of chips. She wrinkled her nose at him and shook her head.

"Dinner will be ready soon, you'll spoil your appetite." she crossed her arms and stepped in front of him, "How many times do I have to tell you?"

"A billion?" he suggested.

"Genesis…" she shook her head and sighed, "I need you to do something for me."

"Nope."

"We need rice from the store. I forgot to get some earlier." Minerva dug through her pockets for some money, "Get some milk too."

"No thanks, it's like 6." he took another large gulp of the cola and burped.

"If you plan on eating dinner tonight, then I suggest you go." she dangled a bill in front of his face, "Come on, you can keep the change."

"Nope. Make Aerith go, she's been in her room all day." Genesis said, "And also, if you haven't noticed, my dinner is right here." he gestured to the snacks, "I'll be fine."

"Your so difficult." Minerva sighed as she left the room and went to find Aerith. Genesis heard the conversation from the kitchen and rolled his eyes. Aerith was far too innocent and sweet for her own good. Sure, he loved her, but her good girl act was annoying and he wished she would just be normal.

"Do you want anything from the store genesis?" Aerith asked as she slipped on her shoes.

"Brownies." he said without looking at her, "Lots and lots of brownies." He heard her giggle and leave the house and sighed, she was far too innocent. And that was never good for anyone.

She didn't ask why Genesis hadn't gone out instead of her, she didn't need to. Genesis had gotten comfortable before and had no intent to move. She'd call him lazy if it wasn't for the fact that he did more then she did in a week then she did in a month.

She sighed and sped up, she was going to try not to get distracted this time, but considering how many people she knew that were out on the streets, that would be impossible. In fact, it had been thirty minutes before she finally finished a walk that should have taken 5 minutes tops. Minerva would be upset, there wasn't a doubt in her mind about that. But she wouldn't be too mad, after all, she was only a little late.

Aerith rushed into the store and grabbed the items, in her haste, she forgot the brownies. After paying for the items she left as quickly as she came.

The sky had darkened considerably in the short time she was in the store and she found herself slightly nervous. This was a good town, for sure, but all towns had their creeps. She situated the milk in her arms and sped up. There wasn't anyone outside for her to speak to so she was sure she could make it home without a distraction. But after two minutes of walking, she had to stop and readjust the milk in her arms. The coldness of it was making her arms numb. She put it down on the ground and rubbed some feeling back into her arms.

A car pulled up on the sidealk next to her. A van, she noticed, it was most likely Minerva. She'd been gone a while and she must have been worried. "Minerva?" she questioned as the doors opened. In a second, she realized that it wasn't her mom. Instead, she was faced with a very large man. Her instincts told her to run. But by the time her feet got the message, she'd already been pulled into the car. She tried to scream, but a cloth was stuffed in her mouth, halting all attempts to alert anyone to what was happening.

She struggled and kicked but the man held her firmly.

"Will you stop moving?" he asked, "We haven't even done anything yet." There were 3 people in the car, one driving up front and the other two holding her down in the back. The large man had begun tying her up with some sort of itchy cloth and she squirmed, trying to make it as hard for him as she could. "I wouldn't struggle too much, you'll hurt yourself." the large man leaned in close to her face and smiled.

"Get away from her, you'll scare her." the other man laughed. The larger man complied and moved away.

"Where are we going? Are we taking this one home?" he asked.

"Aren't we forgetful today? We went through this before we grabbed her." the man in the front sighed, "Can't we trust you to recall anything?"

"You didn't answer my question." the big man grunted.

"Home, Loz. We're taking her home." the driver sighed. She felt one of them rubbing her legs and she tried to kick him away.

"She's a lot more resistant then she looks." he laughed as he pinched her. Aerith jumped and tried to move away, but only succeeded and presses herself into Loz's chest.

"She likes me better then you, 'daj." Loz laughed.

"Doesn't matter, I'm still going to get what I need tonight." She pushed the cloth from her mouth with her tongue.

"Let me go." she breathed. Loz picked up the cloth and tried to stuff it back into her mouth, but she turned away from him, "What do you want from me?" the man on her right waved his hand and Loz let the tissue drop.

"My name is Kadaj." he introduced himself, "You may call me whatever you wish. It always makes me laugh when I see girls like you wandering the streets at night. Don't your parents teach you anything?"

"What?"

"She's not smart." Loz said.

"And neither are you." KAdaj retorted, "But little girl, what we're saying is, you belong to us now, and you won't be seeing your family again." Her heart almost stopped and her eyes widened, "Now she gets it." Kadaj smiled.

"You have to let me go." she said, "I… I'm not what you want."

"Firstly, I don't have to do anything. Secondly, you're exactly what we want." Kadaj said, "You're young, you're pretty, and from the looks of things, you're a virgin."

"You can tell just by looking at her?" Loz questioned curiously.

"I can, she's got an innocence in her eyes that tells you all you need to know." Kadaj said, "But to be sure, are you a virgin?"

"I-" she started, she was unsure of what to say. She didn't want to give any personal information to this person.

"We won't get to play if she is will we?" Loz questioned sadly. She didn't know what they meant by 'play' but if she could get out of it, she would.

"I haven't… I mean…"

"Listen to that, she's never had sex before." Kadaj sighed, "Disappointing, but there are still other things we can do to her."

"How much longer, Yazoo?" Loz asked, "I think our friend at home is gone."

"She's drugged up, she won't be going anywhere." Yazoo said, "And it won't be too long. Put tha gag back in her mouth." Loz grabbed her face and forced her mouth open. She tried to push the cloth away with her tongue, but he forced it back in. She couldn't help thinking that she should have screamed when she had the chance.

"Who's going first?" Loz asked eagerly, "Can it be me?"

"You're messy Loz, you won't be going first with anybody." Kadaj snorted.

"But I found her!" Loz argued, "That means I get dibs!"

"I said no." Kadaj said calmly, "You'll go last."

"That's not fair." Loz sniffled.

"Stop it, you look foolish." Kadaj hissed, "You can't cry about everything."

"I don't!" Loz roared.

"Calm down. You can have my turn, I'll be too tired to do anything tomorrow." Yazoo said. Loz and Kadaj conversed but she couldn't bring herself to listen. She needed to untie herself if she was ever going to escape. The moment they took her out of the car, she was going to make a run for it.

"Here we are. Give her the shot, Loz." Kadaj ordered. She tensed as a needle was pressed into her arm and her body went limp. The numbness spread quickly and she was easily pulled from the car. Her vision blurred and she heard them talking.

"I'll call Don, I think he'll like this one." Yazoo said.

"He'll buy her even if he doesn't, I heard half of his last batch have so many STD's that he had to get rid of them all." Kadaj said, "His place is filthy." She blinked, trying to stay conscious. She was never going to go home again, she could already tell. And the revelation was filling her heart with dread.

A whimper escaped her lips and she began to cry. She watched her tears hit the floor before passing out.
