I awoke groggily with a shooting pain in my head. I could barely make out anything as I tried to observe my surroundings. All that my active senses could tell me was this was not the best smelling place in the world. That coupled with the stagnant air and heat in the room made my surroundings as a whole very uncomfortable.
"Looks like 'ur finally awake, was wonderin' when u'd wake up"
I shot up and looked in the direction of the voice. I still could not see very well as I tried to blink the fogginess away. All I could tell was this voice was very close, and sounded very amused with this situation.
"Look at you blinkin' like a new born baby" he chuckled
"Who are you? What have you done to me?" I sounded more scared than I meant to. Here I am blind in a room with a man who could clearly see. I stand no chance in a fight right now.
"Well my name is Lizard cross my heart. And well what I have done to you is a little complicated."
"What do you mean? Did you permanently damage my sight?" The very thought of it made me shake. I may have bad vision, but with my glasses on I see the most beautiful sights in the world. Now I see nothing but darkness. I feel so alone even with a stranger next to me, a stranger that may want to take my life.
"Naw suga' ain't nothin' like that. What I mean is why you are here is a little complicated. But I promise I didn't damage ur' sight or nothin' "
It may have been from when that Brute knocked me down on the Hill. All I could tell from that guy was that he had a cleft lip and weapons all over his body. I shrank back in fear just thinking about him. What if he was the stranger here? What if everyone here carried their own arsenal of weapons? I am so screwed if that is the case.
"Brute?! Now that is a funny word. That sure will be a fine nickname for the baby."
"What do you mean baby, are there children here?" I shot up a blind direction to the voice. I had not heard any children so far, and the fact that children could live in such a place as this with kidnappers was shocking.
"Well yes, two of them, but I ain't gonna give them the nickname Brute."
"What are you talking about? You aren't making any sense. Tell me what is going on. I am blind, confused, and just got kidnapped. I really don't want my brain to explode from shock and terror" My voice gave way at my feelings being released and a sob forced its way out once in that sentence. My cards are out and he holds the key to my fate now.
"Well ok, I guess it's better if you know. You see me and my family are one of many clans that live in this desert. We're Papa Jupiter's clan. Normally our clan just hunts down people like you that get lost in our desert, and eat them."
My eyes widened," WHAT! You are cannibals!" I made a bolt off the bed in a random direction in absolute fear for my life. But Lizard or whatever his name is, was too fast for me. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me back. I screamed once he got hold of me, but that did not seem to affect him much, he just chuckled and plopped me down on the bed in the room. I screamed and tried to get away from him. His hot breath on my neck made me go in to a panicked frenzy. He held tight for a while, probably amused at my hopeless actions. But I guess he got tired of it because he let me go, and I curled up in a ball on the other side of the bed.
"Now listen' up sugar, I don't want you interruptin' my stories like that, especially since you forced this one out of me. Now I don't wan a have to tie you up so you won't run away. But I will do it, so sit down, shut up, and let me finish my story. You can ask all the questions you want after that."
I nodded my head slowly. It is best if I just shut up. The last thing I want to do is make a bunch of cannibals mad at a blind girl.
"Ok now where was I. So our clan is that big fancy word you said earlier I guess. We eat other people. Now it ain't like we like it, but it's all we got out here so we make do with what we have been handed in our lives. Now don't you worry a bit about any of that, we ain't gonna eat ya. The reason for that is because a few weeks ago, A big group of our normal food came runnin' through here. They were supposed to be an easy meal, but for some reason or another they pulled one over our heads. Now I don't think any of it would have happened if I was in charge, instead of that smart ass big brain. He made all the wrong shots and almost killed this whole clan. But that ain't important. You see that little family did a number on us and most of my family is dead. All that's left are big mama, the kids, ruby, Pluto and big brain. Well that's real bad because none of them other than Pluto can hunt. We are so desperate we have actually gotten Ruby to be on watch. Worst fucking idea Big Brain has ever had. Ruby likes your kind too much to let us eat you. She'd rather starve that stupid cunt. Well anyway our numbers are down so I had a brilliant idea. Hades clan had the same problem a few years back, and his clan decided since so many of you females come along here why not keep you around and make some babies. Now I had thought that even coming from that dumb tree Hades that was a good idea. Now Hades is too stupid to actually get this plan to work. He treats the women like shit and they usually die before the kid comes out. So I figured since I'd like ya to live and strengthen the clan I'll make ya part of the family. That way ya get fed lots, don't have ta worry about bein' food, and ya make lots of babies."
"Now any questions?"
I just stared at him, grasping what he had just told me. I was visibly shaking at the impact of his words.
"What's the matta' sweetheart" he reached over and touched my shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" I shrieked. I threw out my hands in his general direction to push him away.
He moved back and chuckled," What's The matter sweetheart, I just told ya that ya ain't gotta worry no more."
"Yes I do, who says I want children or breed a bunch of kids. I don't want to be some breeding cow on the farm." I cried out," I wanna go home. You abduct me for no reason against me personally, and now you want me to be your sex slave and breed babies. Let me go!" I cried out, my resolve breaking even further. All of the stressful components around me were fully being realized. I am alone, blind, held captive, expected to breed children, it is burning hot in this room, the air is quiet, my captor is amused at all of this, and on top of it all Chance is not here. I want my mom, I want to go home, I wish I had never had to drive to California.
"Well that's a bit of tough luck sweetheart. But it ain't all like that. I ain't expecting five kids from you. Just two or three. Any more than that and, you may not be able to survive in the desert, and those kids are gonna need a mama. Now I hope more mamas show up, so Pluto can join in the fun and help make more babies."
"NO! Can't you see that I want no part in this? I just want to go home. Why do I have to be a mom to all these kids? Just let me go on my way PLEASE."
"Well sugar it's either have kids or be eaten the choice is yours." My heart sank at my two options handed to me. It is my fault I am in this mess and my mess does not have much of a bright side.
"Can I just agree to none of the above?" I chuckled darkly. It is odd how I find a bad bit of humor, even with my life on the line.
"Well that ain't happenin' sugar. You stayin' here forever and you're gonna be a momma in this clan"
"No, just let me go please, I don't care how well you can force me into something like this. I won't agree to this plan.
"Well fine then I guess you will have to be dinner."
Lizard stood up and I heard him pull out his knife. I instantly started backing up on the bed I heard his boots approach me slowly. He knew he did not need to rush, I have no fighting chance. But that will not stop me from trying. I rolled off the bed quickly, got on the floor and rolled under the bed. He chuckled at this. I scooted further to the middle of the bed. It may smell awful down here and it is terribly disgusting as a whole, but I pushed past that with the fear of my life on the line. I could hear him shuffling around trying to get me out. I recoiled away from each sound of his arm and angry grunts that made it under the bed.
"Now sugar you best come ova' to Lizard, so this won't be more painful than it is."
"NO!, I don't want to be a momma, and I don't want to die. The bed is my neutral zone so go away."
"Hun' haven't you ever heard that beds are where babies are made." He laughed loudly as he kept circling around the bed trying to get a hold of me. I could tell he was getting tired of this chase.
"Well darlin' I am done playin' this game with you." That's all I heard before the feeling of a loss of cover hit me. I heard a large crash and realized that he had lifted the bed off of me. I screamed and made a run for it in blind haste. Just as my luck would have it I not only ran into a wall, but my dizzy recovery waltz landed me right in to Lizard. He held fast to my arm and I could hear his steady breathing. I thought he did not care if he took my life. He held me close to him so I could not get away.
"Darling this may hurt a bit." That was all I heard as the feeling of my life flashed before my eyes.
His knife swung down and I screamed out in pain. Once the shock wore off, I realized I wasn't dead. I felt at the surge of searing pain on my arm. His knife had made a large slash had cut right through my upper arm. I looked at his direction in confusion.
"Run like that again, and I won't miss!" He sternly told me
I was in such a state of shock and fear that I just plopped down on the floor in exhaustion. Lizard moved away from me and fixed the bed and guided me to it. I numbly followed and sat down. The shock of nearly dying was still pumping through my veins. I did not even hear half of what he said next.
"Now Ima lock this door don't you dare try and escape. The bathroom is right there on that door to your left if you need it. Ima be back for with your dinner later.
He closed the door behind him and locked it just as he promised. I looked down and cried at the hopelessness of this whole situation. I am never going to see my sister get married, my family, my dog, or any of my friends again. I am going to be shelled off from the world. I am only 23 and my life is over before it has begun. I will be his breeding tool till the day I die. I just lay back against the filthy bed until I fell in to a dreamless sleep.
