AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank you for the reviews (^_^) -They're very much appreciated. I just wanted to let you know that Riley has a mother in this story (I know on the show he doesn't really have one, but since it's fan fiction, I decided to add it in the story. okay, anyways..here's chapter 2. don't forget to review =)
I woke up in a dark room with a foul odor. I was confused and didn't know where I was. Last thing I remember, I was in the stinefields' kitchen sitting down talking to that girl. My head ached with pain, I felt a big cut on the side of my head. I decided to shout for help, but nobody answered-I continued to scream. Later on the door opened. It was kind of dark and I couldn't see well. It looked like a lady coming down the stairs. She turned on a flashlight and I could see it was Mrs. Stinefield walking towards me.
"What happened? What am I doing down here?" I asked as she stood there looking at me.
"On your way out the door, you fell down the steps. You took a terrible fall, dear. How do you feel?" she asked smiling
"My head hurts..I think I should go to the hospital. Can I use your phone to call my Mom?"
"Your mom?" she asked
"Yeah… my mom, I'm sure she's at home by now"
"Sweetie, your mom is standing right in front of you"
I looked at her confused, backing away from her a bit, She was starting to freak me out.
"What the hell are you talking about? And why the hell am I in this basement" I asked. I was starting to get annoyed.
"I am your mother now, I'm going to take care of you son. Now, why don't you come with me upstairs; we'll get you out of those clothes and give you some medicine for your head."
"Man, you fucking crazy" I said making my way to the stairs, she pulled the back of my shirt, bringing me back to her"
"No No No..Raymond, you're not going anywhere with that attitude. I would hate to have to punish you" she said pointing to a small cage.
"My name is Riley, not Raymond. I'm not trying to hurt you and I don't want no trouble, so just let me go, alright?"
She shook her head from side to side. "I can't do that Raymond- I see that you're not ready to behave yourself, so I'll let you stay down here until you're ready to cooperate."
"AND WHAT IF IM NEVER READY TO COOPERATE?" I shouted
"Then you'll just be one starving, smelly boy who never gets to see the light of day."
She walked back up the stairs and closed the door. I tried to look around to find some things in the basement that I could use as a weapon, but I didn't see anything, and it was hard to look for things in the dark. I saw nothing but stupid old toys, those creepy baby dolls that they try to make look like real babies. I definitely couldn't do shit with those, so I looked for a place to hide if she decided to come back. I saw a small area where I could hide under the stairs. I hid there for a few hours. Later on I heard the door open.
" Raymond, are you ready to cooperate?" she asked coming down the steps. I could see her shoes as she continued making her way down.
" Raymond?…Raymond where are you?" she asked. I saw her walk in the opposite direction of me looking around. I quickly jumped out of my hiding spot, running towards her. I pushed her down before she got the chance to turn around. I got on top her and hit her one time in the face.
"Raymond, get off of me! -JOHNATHAN HELP! JOHNATHAN!"
I choked her by her neck so she could stop screaming, but quickly rushed down the stairs. He pulled me off her and pushed me against the wall, continuously punching me. He then threw me on the floor and kicked me a few times. I couldn't move because I was in so much pain. He dragged me by the legs and then put me in the cage that I saw earlier. Since I couldn't really move, I just watched him as he put the lock on the cage.
" Ple..please let me go, just let me out.. please.." I said with a mouth full of blood.
"You disrespected your mother son, so now you have to be punished."
" You people are CRAZY!..you're fucking CRAZY!" I said curled up in the cage. My ribs were hurting, my head was aching and I could taste blood on my lips. I heard Mrs. Stinefield talking to , who stood next to her.
"He's a tough one isn't he?" she said while checking her mouth for blood.
responded "He won't be so tough for long with a little discipline"
I fell asleep after they left, not much you could do being locked in a cage. When I woke up, it wasn't as dark...Still dim, but not dark as it was before. I wondered to myself if it was morning. I got tired of being in a fetal position, so I decided to sit up , my body was very sore, every little move I made brought pain to my body. I heard someone coming to the door. It was the girl from yesterday; she had a bottle of water in her hands and a few crackers. She came down the stairs, walking towards me and kneeled down .We were face to face.
"Sylvia told me to bring you some water and crackers" she said in a soft voice.
I shook my head from side to side, looking at her with a pissed off expression
"I don't want no fuckin stale ass crackers. I want to get the fuck out of here."
"Well you can't leave this house…I'm sorry, but you can't"
"You're a stupid bitch..you know that right?"
"…Excuse me?" She asked confused
"Why didn't you tell me your parents were fucking psychos? If you would have told me that when we were outside, I could have left..i could have been at home with my family and avoided this shit."
"I couldn't say anything or she would have punished me, I would have been in the same situation as you are now..and they're not my real parents. I was kidnapped by Sylvia when I was 9 years old…"
"Why the hell are you still here?..you telling me you couldn't escape all those years?" I asked.
She shook her head. "No because they're watching almost all the time. We never can go outside, there's a bunch of locks on the doors. She locks us in our room and we only leave the room if we have to eat, cook, or clean.."
"Who is we—there's somebody else?" I asked.
"Yeah..Sarah, but Sylvia calls her Jessica..it's another girl she kidnapped a few years ago and my name isn't really Anna, it's Courtney."
"Well she's not going to brain wash me into being her kid. It's not happening"
"You have to Riley or else she'll just keep torturing you until you give in..Trust me, I know"
I saw the door open. It was Mrs. Stinefield . She had a hammer in her right hand
"What's going on Anna?..I asked you to give him water and crackers, not to sit here and keep him company."
"Sorry, mother..I was just—"
"NO EXCUSES, get back upstairs and go scrub the floors." She said pointing towards the door."
I watched the girl go back up the stairs and then brought my attention back to Mrs. Stinefield. She looked at me with her evil grin.
"Are you ready to cooperate Raymond?"
I made a heavy sigh before answering. "Yeah Mrs. Stinefield.."
"That's mother to you sweetheart"
"Oh.. I'm sorry MOTHER. I won't do it again MOTHER. Can you let me out of this shithole MOTHER ?
She laughed and a weird grin appeared on her face. "So, you want to be a smart ass huh?—just for that, you stay in here for another two days"
She went back up the stairs and slammed the door.
I mumbled to myself "Stupid bitch"
