Seven
Three Months Later
I sat in the dark, cold space and I whimpered. My wrist was in an excruciating amount of pain and I was hurting all over. I could hear David out in the bedroom having sex with some other random. I was upset that he was betraying me like that but what was I supposed to do? Soon enough, the door opened and the other girl was standing there shivering.
"Look after her, I'll be back later. Don't you dare try running away, either of you or I will kill the both of you." David said. He walked off and I stood up.
"How old are you?" I asked the girl.
"I've only just turned thirteen; I'm not going to see my parents again am I?" She whimpered. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.
"I'm gonna make sure that you will. What's your name sweetheart?" I asked.
"My name is Chloe Montgomery." She said. I nodded my head and helped her limp to the bathroom.
"How long have you been stuck with him?" She asked me.
"About four months," I sighed.
"Why haven't you left?" She said.
"I thought he loved me. You are the first person he has ever brought home and I can understand why. You are so young and I have a sister your age. He must have known that I would protect you. It is like one of his sick games but don't worry, he is right. I won't let him come near you again." I whispered. I ran the bath and she stood there shivering.
"What's your name?" She asked me.
"My name is Kaliyah," I replied.
"Are you Kaliyah Levesque?" She asked.
"How do you know my name?" I said, my eyes narrowing.
"I go to the Hickenbottom dance school and they have posters up in the studio of you with your name." Chloe said. I nodded my head and smiled softly.
"So my parents haven't given up hope then," I sighed.
"They definitely haven't." She replied. I smiled and sat down.
"Avery and Mahli are your sisters aren't they?" She asked. I nodded and watched as she got into the bath.
"They were down here the other week. Avery said that your Mom is having twins. When I saw her the other day, I knew she was right. Your Mom is huge. They're going to induce her early." Chloe said. I smiled happily and nodded my head.
"She's having a boy and a girl. They've gone back home though which was a shame, I really liked hanging around Avery." Chloe said. I nodded my head and sighed.
"I wasn't the only girl he took," Chloe hushed. My eyes widened and I frowned.
"Who else did he take?" I asked.
"He took my nineteen year old sister Rachel and my three year old niece, Ruby." Chloe said.
"Where are they?" I asked.
"I don't know, he dropped Rachel off somewhere and I think Ruby would probably be somewhere in this house." I said. As soon as she said that, the phone started ringing and I knew that it would be David.
"I'll be right back. Just try to relax in the tub all right?" I said. Chloe nodded and I walked out to get the phone.
"Hello?" I said.
"Babe, there was something else I needed to tell you," David said.
"You took a three year old girl David, what did you do with her?" I asked.
"She's fine all right; she's in the living room on the sofa knocked out. By the way, tell that little slut that you're taking care of that her baby niece no longer has a Mommy. I could hear crying in the background and I freaked out.
"David what are you doing, leave her alone, she has a baby!" I said.
"I don't care." David said. I heard a gun go off three times and I closed my eyes.
"Now, I'm on my way back home and if I hear that baby crying once, I'll kill her. So make sure you take care of her." David said.
"I don't believe you," I said angrily.
"Don't you dare question me Kaliyah," David said. I sighed and nodded my head.
"Fine, whatever," I said. I closed the phone on him and went into the living room. The most gorgeous girl was lying on the sofa and I could see a purple mark on her forehead. She had to have been at least half Native American-Indian. I lifted her up and took her back to the bathroom.
"He killed Rachel didn't he?" Chloe whispered timidly.
"You heard our conversation?" I asked. She nodded her head and I sighed.
"Yeah, I'm so sorry Chloe, but he killed her. Now we need to make sure we take care of this little girl because if we don't, I think she might be next." I whispered. Chloe gulped and nodded her head.
When David got back, Chloe and Ruby were sleeping in the bedroom upstairs and I copped his anger. He had also picked up another girl, this one was fourteen and her name was Elizabeth Jacobsen, Liz for short. I had to help her get cleaned up as well and she was less calm then Chloe. It was going to make things difficult.
"Get in here," David barked at me. I walked into his room and he unbuttoned my shirt.
"I'm sorry for everything lately baby," He sighed.
"Why did you have to kill Rachel?" I asked. David shrugged and pressed his lips against mine softly. I rubbed his arm and I knew I was falling back into his trap. I didn't want to and I blocked myself mentally as he started kissing my neck. If I didn't think about it, I wouldn't care about it.
"I love you," I heard him whisper.
"I love you too David, I just wish that you would show it more sometimes," I murmured.
"I'm sorry," He said. I nodded and got into the bed with him.
"Goodnight baby," He whispered.
"Night," I managed to reply.
