Thomas walked them upstairs and into the kitchen. He set her down in a chair and tied her up. Then he went back down and retrieved her mother. Once they were both settled Thomas called John in. when John entered the room he saw Thomas fixing Emily's shirt. He saw the blood start to soak through. He took a deep breath and continued toward them. He and Thomas sat in chairs in front of them.
"Ok I have brought you both here so we can have a talk. Emily you probably know how these talks go, but listen up. I have rules, number one; you do as I say with out question or resistance. Number two; Emily you know this one, if one of you messes up the other gets the punishment. So I suggest you be on your best behavior. Number three; this relation ship you too have it needs to end now." He said looking at Emily and John. "Emily you are mine now, ok?"
"Ok," she said glaring. She wasn't going to take his crap this time. She was fight to save her life and get out.
"John take Emily to the back room, me and mom need to have a talk."
Once Thomas and Elizabeth were alone Thomas scooted closer and pulled his knife out. "Alright listen lady, me and Emily are meant to be weather you like it or night. I will get rid of you in a flash I find it necessary. This is my warning to you, so I would take it if I were you." he took his knife and ran it vertically down her arm, letting the blood run down after it. "Do you understand me?"
"Yes," she said wincing.
"Good, I'm glad we see eye to eye." But before she knew it the knife was running down her other arm. Soon after he took her back done to the basement. "Emily will be back soon."
Thomas met John and Emily in the back bedroom. "Emily I have a surprise for you," he said walked over to the closet.
Emily sucked in air preparing her self. She hoped it wasn't what she thought it was. Them she saw its insides and relaxed. It wasn't the iron maiden. She still didn't get a good though.
He pulled out another dress, but this time it was supper short and strapless. "If you think I'm going to wear another one of your stupid dresses them you're wrong!"
"Did you not get anything out of the talk that we just had? You will this dress and this pair of heels on and you are going to like it!"
She snatched to items from his hands and turned around. "Turn around and I'll put it on," she demanded.
"As you wish,"
Emily quickly put the dress on. She had to take off all of her clothes for to fit right. 'A corset?!' she thought in panic. 'Shit!" She quietly put her heels on and tip toed up right behind them. "I'm done,"
"Go he said turned around, but as soon as he did she punched square in the face and kicked him in the groin. She did the same to John and ran. She made it to the basemen door and quickly opened it. She shut it behind her and locked it. She ran down trying not to fall in the heels and made it to her mom on the mattress. "OH my god mom are you ok?!"
"Yes I'm fine but what about you? What did you do and why are you wearing that?"
"He likes it when I wear dresses and I beat them up and ran down here as fast as I could," she said breathing heavy. With her adrenalin pumping and blood flowing fast the words stared to seep again.
There was a loud pounding on the door. "Emily open this door now!" Thomas yelled.
"He's going to break the door," she saw and ran over to the cabinet. She pulled and pulled hoping the lock would break but it was no use. Them there was a loud bang and pieces of wood came flying down the stairs. She pressed herself up against the cabinet.
Thomas came running down red in the face besides the blood that pored from his nose. "Look what you did!" he said wiping his nose. He grabbed her and through her on the table. He grabbed the stings of the corset and pulled with all his might.
Emily gasped and sucked in all the air she could. She still had bruising from her heeling ribs and this want help what so ever. When he finished tying he grabbed her by her hair and through her on the ground, and kicked her in the stomach. "Don't ever try something like that again! I'll be back soon, so you better get your act together!" he yelled and stormed his way upstairs.
Emily couldn't move she was in shock. She couldn't breath and she felt as if she were shaking. "Help," she gasped in a whispered. She tried to bring her feet up but they slipped back down. "Mom," she whispered. She brought her hand up and grabbed the table. She tried to pull her self up. But she ended up falling back down. Elizabeth had moved over just in time to catch her. She quickly dragger her over to the mattress and laid her on her stomach. Se undid the bow and pulled the strings apart. Emily was almost out of it when she sucked in all the air she could. She coughed as she curled up in a ball and clenched her stomach. "I'm sorry," she whispered.
"Why, why would you be sorry? You were the one that got hurt," she said stroking Emily's hair trying to calm her down.
"Because he's angry and he's going to hurt you and I wont be able to do anything about it because I'll be strapped down to that table."
"Well what do I do?"
"Do whatever he says no matter what."
"But will you?"
"It will be hard but I will do what I can to get us out of here alive. I may be able to manipulate John into helping us, but I'm not sure."
"Never in my life did I ever think I would have to go thought this."
"Well it's not fun."
"I wouldn't think so."
"I need you to tie me back up so he would. Because he does I will suffocate."
She nodded as Emily sat up and faced away from her. Emily felt her re-laced each one and tied the bow. "Emily what did he do to you?"
Emily hesitated; she hadn't really told anyone what had happened to her except for JJ. "Well um I got these cuts," she said holding out her wrists. "He hit me. I had a concussion, and two broken ribs. He also put a dress with a corset on me."
"I'm sorry,"
"It's ok. How are your arms?"
"They're fine, they hurt as much anymore.
They heard someone coming down the stairs. It turned out to be both of them. John went over and held Elizabeth back as Thomas grabbed Emily. He strapped her back to the table. "Emily I am very disappointed in you," Thomas said as he moved a piece of hair out of her face. "But you know what I think I'm going to let it go, it's still the first day but I hope you've learned your lesson. I love you and I don't want to have to hurt you anymore," he said and leaned down. He pressed his lips up against hers.
Emily closed her eyes and clenched her jaw waiting for it to be over. When he pulled away he smiled. "Cant wait for us to get married. You know I was thinking that we could move to Canada. That was my original plan last time but you got away. You still speak French right?"
"Yes."
"Me too, Ne vous inquietez pas il sera simplement moi et vous bientot. JE permetta de se debarrasser des deux autres plus tard, je vous le promets." (Don't worry it will just be me and you soon. I will get rid of the other two later, I promise.) He whispered.
Emily cringed. "II pourrait etre possible de parler a letage." (Could it be possible to talk upstairs?)
"Only if you promise not to try anything,"
"I promise."
"Fine," he said and started to untie her. "John stay down here, we will be back soon."
When they were upstairs they sat in front of each other. "Was there something you wanted to tell me?" he asked.
"I wanted to apologize for before, I'm sorry I hit you it was just reflexes when I saw the corset. I hope we can work things out because when we were together last time I felt something and I didn't like us being apart."
"I feel the same way, so why don't we just start over."
"Sounds good,"
"Would you like to stay up here?"
"Thank you but I better stay with my mom so she doest worry."
"Of course, when you go back down tell John to come back up."
"I will but first do you have a bathroom?"
"Yes it's this way."
Emily followed him to the bathroom. "Thank you I will be right out."
"Ok,"
When she was in she shut the door and locked it. She went to the floor and looked under that the door to see if he was standing there. He wasn't. She opened up the medicine cabinet and looked for any kink of weapon. The bathroom was disgusting. There was a small window. See looked out and saw nothing but land, and forest. As she stepped back she almost slipped and fell. She looked down to see what she had stepped on. It was a skinny piece of wood with a spike on the end. Perfect. She picked it up and slid it up her dress. She opened the door and walked out. She passed Thomas in the kitchen. "I'm going down."
"Ok I'll see you later."
Emily walked down the stairs. John was suspired to see her come down alone. "Relax John he's fine. HE wants you upstairs." As John waked past her she stopped him and whispered in his ear. "Please help us get out; I know you want too I can see it in your eyes."
"I can't."
"Yes you can."
John turned and walked upstairs.
"Emily what happened up there?"
"Well Thomas thinks that I love him too and the past is behind us now. He is very manipulative and will do whatever I say as long as it has to do with him. I was able to get this from the bathroom," she said pulling the stake out. "Hide this under the mattress; don't use it unless I tell you too."
"How are you so calm?"
"I'm actually really freaked out, but I've gone through this before and I'm ready to get this guy, because I'm done dealing with his crap."
