She could still hear the echo of the barrel's shot still smell the gunpowder smoke in the air and standing holding the gun in her hand her grip tightened with a trembling grasp gazing at the blood seeping out of the body of the man below her. Hazel eyes shivered and instantly she turned to her mistress whom lowered her own gun with eyes dark as midnight and cold as ice. She don't know what warranted the instinct but instantly she raised the one in her hands aiming the gun at her.
"Now Kitten..."
"Shut up!" Erin stammered, shaken from the events and even more confused by the spattered confessions of the crook that had barged in. She wasn't even sure what she was doing but suddenly so bare she felt vulnerable, weak and that feeling it had to go. Erin moved closer to the bed with the gun still aimed shakily but aimed bending down scooping the underwear, jeans bra and tank up unsure of how she was going to even get dressed when she had this weapon in her hand.
"I won't move...dress yourself." Selyne's words were calm but held such command that Erin found herself nodding setting the gun down on the stool with it aimed but close quickly yanking the clothes on snatching the gun back up easing her finger back on the trigger. "Feel better Kitten?" Erin gripped the side of her head feeling the throbbing start up as the shakes grew worse and the itching began. She growled stepping back almost stumbling aiming at her again.
"You...what did..." The flashes came with the throbbing intensifying, visions swam through her mind snapping images tattered but they were there. "Drugs...m mm my body...you drugged me!"
"I freed you..."
"LIES!" Erin gasped sliding her hand down feeling the collar trying to yank it off trembling. "Get it off!" The detective was having a wicked withdraw, the irritations and itching the feeling of entrapment of being closed in...and Selyne couldn't help but desire to lick her lips at her captive's reaction though impressed she was resisting after so much had been pumped into her day by night by day. "Get it off!" There it was, the desperation and easily she slipped her well manicured nails up to her neck to the locket around it prying it open as the key rested inside showing it to her kitten tossing it by her bare feet on the floor. Hazel eyes slid down then up slowly bending down to pick up the key snatching it snapping back up trembling as she slid it into the hole and the click brought a whole new relief to her with the collar open she tossed it off her and away holding the gun with both hands now. "What...did...you...do...to...me..." Tears were forming in her eyes and the pounding the throbbing was becoming almost unbearable. Erin lifted the gun up with both hands on the sides of her head and the moment she did the woman wasted no time striking out. Before the detective could fling her arm forward a tight grasp on her wrist defied her attempt grasping her tight around the throat and Erin watched horrified at the strength in her grip with her arm pulled to the side as far out as it could go and the mistress turning her wrist painfully until she could no longer grip the handle of the gun and it dropped to the floor. Erin struggled in this powerful grasp swinging her legs and arm nearly making direct contact until the woman let loose on her neck snatching her other wrist somehow restraining her then releasing a brutal knee jab to her stomach with her captive gasping for air releasing her wrists as Erin dropped to the floor in a ball.
"Did you think...you could escape my clutches my pet?" Selyne circled her and the moment Erin got her bearings back attempting to hoist her self up to strike the mistress snatched both her arms again sliding to her wrists pushing them together over her head pushing her further down on her knees. "I wanted to take away your will with a more...gentle approach..." Erin's body trembled as she heard the sound of a chain and fought the grip on her wrists but how she had her arms locked she couldn't do anything to free herself. Tears started to pour down her face hearing the cold SNAP of metal shackles forced on her wrists and within moments her body was yanked from her knees off the floor as she dangled at least a foot off the floor. Selyne knew she wouldn't try to kick her striking out snatching her captive's chin holding her forcefully in her cold stare. "But it seems, I will have to show you what happens..." The Lady walked over to the dresser opening the two doors revealing to her pet the dangling whips and instruments as she reached out taking the longer black braided leather whip from the hook turning around stretching the cords out then snapping it on the floor causing Erin's body to jump and tremble. "...when you don't obey...pet." Selyne stood there watching as the itching in her captive grew worse and hazel eyes went from terrified to fogged and panicked. The craving was sinking further in burning through her igniting her veins and with eyes rolled back the Lady snatched a blade from the table on the side walking behind her dangling pet slicing down the back of her tank revealing her pale skin sliding her lips into an ominous grin stepping back. "The pain you're feeling from your addiction...will be nothing compared to this." Erin couldn't stop the violent trembles until a hot strike connected to her back knocking hazel eyes forward again and widening as the scream erupted from her lungs after a heavy gasp. The cry of agony was knocked from her as another connecting strike tore across her flesh and the full weight on her wrists finally came into her thoughts. She felt the images ripping inside her floating into a darkness tearing apart her consciousness. If she had been whom the man had claimed she surely didn't feel like one anymore. The begging for it to stop spilled from her, she yearned to be drugged again to feel no ounce of this horrifying pain she was enduring now but as each connection of the whip hit her Erin slid away to the place deep inside her, the place that yearned...for death...
Kaitlyn slid her gaze from the rear view mirror in the black SUV out to the storming skies over the city hearing the sound of the woman beside her geared up snapping the last of her clips to her vest and she couldn't help but wander her eyes to the courageous officer riding along with them. They hadn't been but a half hour out of Chicago and almost everything she could possibly spill about her past with Erin had been revealed.
Voight flicked his eyes from the road up to the mirror seeing the worried look on the girl. He'd seen that look before, it had been on his daughter's face when Nadia had gone missing when they realized Yates had taken her. He'd seen it again when they teamed up with Liv's crew from SVU and the manhunt for the two escaped fugitives. Now, it was on a different set of eyes. Hank slid his focus back to the road but after all this girl had delved into the walk down memory lane for her she had yet to...
"Tell me about Selyne." Katz body stiffened and even Burgess noticed it with Olinsky lowering the window shade flicking the flap up gazing into the mirror from his glasses hiding his own eyes that swam with concern.
"You never..."
"I need EVERYTHING Kaitlyn including what you know on this..." Burgess reached out putting a firm yet supportive hand on her arm startling the woman but she tried to stay calm even though her pulse was racing with fear. Katz nodded taking a long deep ragged breath blowing it out slowly attempting to calm her nerves but there was no peace, not when it came to THAT evil.
"You know...her name full name right?" Voight nodded in the mirror. "Her accent...she hides it...part french but its Bulgarian mostly. Where...she trained..." Hank ground his teeth turning slightly to Al. It made sense now, why she was so hidden. Olinsky nodded with their shared thought 'Special Forces'. Kaitlyn took another breath in and out trembling rubbing her wrists. "She's strong...so much more than most in your squad she's skilled. She has games she plays, tactics she uses...ways she...gets into your head and before you even realize it she's so deep in it..."
"You forget where you are, WHO you are." Al finished seeing her nod. "Kaitlyn, Erin is very dear to us and I see so very dear to you. I promise you we will do everything we can to save her but anything you hold back now, could be crucial on how we approach this situation."
"Seventeen days." Katz muttered. Kim raised an eyebrow. Brown eyes slid into her own eyes turning her head. "That's what it took...to break most of her pets." Burgess swallowed down the bile in her throat with an overwhelming terror. "That's what it took to break me...the first time." Voight listened to her staggered breathing. "The moment we show any hint of resistance she opens her..." Kaitlyn shut her eyes tight fighting the tears welling up. "...torture cabinet." Kim snapped her head away looking out to the pouring rain struggling to keep her heart from pounding. Her coworker her friend, had been gone for...no, she wouldn't think that way. A sudden chuckle brought Burgess turning back to her. "She taught night classes in Psychology at the local colleges did you know that? Guest lectured and even led a seminar on women empowered...the irony." Ten more minutes in miserable weather and gruesome traffic before they reached Cicero. "I only defied her once and that was enough to teach me better. Until I heard about her plans for the police force for your squad and how much she'd researched everything about you guys and then I saw the picture and my mistake...showing emotion in my eyes in front of her and that's all it took for her to figure out the pieces of my past..." Kaitlyn wiped the tears from her face gathering her wits. "I couldn't say no to her I...and a little more research by her little hackers and boom, she knew. Of course she would use me to...to..."
"You're here now, and you're doing everything you can to help her." Voight stated as a text came in on Al's phone with an address.
"Mouse found it." Hank's whole heart beamed to life again. They were so close, so very close to getting Erin back.
"Hang in there kiddo..." Hank whispered stepping on the gas once the roads were clearer.
"Jay?" Halstead flickered his determined eyes from the road turning his head slightly to his teammate. Ruzek studied the man's expression. "We will find her...and end this okay?"
"I can't guarantee its gonna be by the badge man. I can't."
"None of us expect it to. This bitch calls out our game uses Erin to play it she's gonna be sorry she ever started this." Kevin stated. Dawson reached out gripping Halstead's shoulder from the middle seat holding the rifle in the other.
"We got your back in this. No matter how it turns out." Jay nodded proud to serve with these men proud it's them whom ride with him to rescue their strong willed hard core Detective Lindsay. Tracking this woman down now, piece of cake so would be the hell she would endure. The difficult part, how damaged would the beautiful hazel eyed love in his life be when he burst through the door to save her...
