"No!" Melissa screamed. "Stop!"

"Ahh!"

Frankie kicked my lower stomach. After a few more blows, he grabbed my shirt and pushed me toward the pillar in the middle of the room. He pulled me to my feet, then twisted me around. He motioned for the other men to tie my hands around the pillar in front of me.

When they were finished, Frankie pushed my head forward, making it hit the pillar. He ripped my shirt open.

"Ahhh!" I yelled as the whip hit my skin. "Ahhh! Ahhhh!"

Everyone was in tears. Daley squeezed Lex tightly while Nathan hugged her. Mr. Wu held a screaming Melissa. Taylor shrieked every time Frankie slung the whip. Eric was strangely quiet, without one remark.

"Ahhhh!" My forehead was leaning on the pillar, my eyes squeezed shut, my teeth clenched. I winced at every hit. "Ahhhh!"

After over twenty more slings, I was on my knees.

Frankie untied my hands, then dragged me away from the pillar.

A line of blood from my back streaked the floor as I was pulled.

Frankie got on top of me, speaking to the other men. "Get them outta here." He yanked off what was left of my shirt.

The men led the others down the stairs and to the next floor.

I lay there, trying not to think about the pain in my back.

Frankie roughly bit my lip, causing it to bleed. He unbuttoned my pants, then slid them down my waist. His dirty, uneven fingernails clawed my bleeding back as his tongue entered my mouth.

I whimpered.

Frankie unzipped his pants, then slid his hands up my boney body. "Enjoying this?"

"Yes, master."


Cal pushed off of me and zipped his pants, then headed down the stairs. "Your turn, Benny."

After a moment, Benny came up the stairs and positioned himself on top of me.

I forced myself not to cry as each of the men took their turn on me.


Frankie put my jeans back on me, then zipped them as the men led the others up the stairs and to a spot in the side of the room.

I avoided their eyes.

They knew what had happened to me thirteen times with thirteen different men.

I was sweaty, breathing heavily.

Frankie kicked my lower stomach hard.

I was writhing on the floor in pain.

Mr. Wu tried to get away from the man that had a grip on his arm.

Frankie smirked, then pressed the button on the remote controller.

"Ahhhh!" My body jerked.

This made Mr. Wu fight harder.

Frankie turned the voltage higher.

"Ahhhhh! Mr. Wu…Stop…sir. Please, sir…Please."

Hesitantly, Melissa's father quit struggling, and Frankie let go of the button.

My body continued to twitch.

Frankie pulled a pair of scissors from his pocket, slowly coming toward me with a mischievous grin.

I backed up, pushing myself with my elbows, occasionally twitching. I was pulled up as two men grabbed my arms and pinned me against a wall next to where everyone stood.

Frankie punched my lower stomach. When I was doubled over in pain, he kneed my face.

One man grabbed my neck, forcing it against the wall.

Frankie put the scissors to my throat, then laughed at everyone's protests and moved the scissors to the side of my head.

I felt a sharp pain shoot through my ear as he cut the lobe. "Ahhhhh!"

The scissors stabbed into my skin behind my ear as Mr. Wu kicked Frankie, causing him to push against me.

"Ahhh!"

Furious, Frankie yanked my hair and threw me to the floor. He grabbed my arm and bent it behind me.

I heard a pop. "Ahhhhh!"

Frankie flipped me onto my back.

He gripped one of my fingers, bending it from the middle.

"Ahhhhh!"

Frankie laughed. "I'm gonna break every last bone in your body." He punched my nose, breaking it.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Hmm…you don't seem to beg anymore." He looked around the room. A smile crossed his face when he saw Melissa. He headed toward her.

Melissa's eyes were wide with fear when Frankie put the scissors to her throat.

"Wait!" I yelled. "Please, wait! Please, master! Don't do it! Please!" I was in tears. "Please! Leave her alone, master! Hurt me! Please!"

Frankie smirked and came back to me. "Okay, then. Tell you what. I'm gonna let you pick your punishment." He glared at me, his voice threatening. "But it better be good."

"Yes, master."

"What shall it be?"

I thought for a moment. "My legs, master."

He smiled, then took the whip that a nearby man offered. "Nice choice," he said to me.

"Thank you, master."

He pulled me to my feet, then threw me toward the stairs.

I tumbled down. "Ahhh!"

Frankie tossed me down all thirteen flights until we came to the bottom. He kicked a few times until he heard a couple of my ribs crack.

"Ahhhh!"

"You ready?"

"Yes, master."

He gripped my leg, then yanked it in an awkward direction.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He did the same to my other leg.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I knew everyone in the building could hear my cries.

"Since I have a heart, I'm gonna let you get back upstairs before I break anything else."

"Thank you, master."

"Now go!"

"Yes, master." I used my unbroken arm to pull myself up the stairs.

"C'mon! Go faster!" He slung the whip at my back.

"Ahhh! Yes, master."


It'd taken me a whole hour to get this far.

I had one more flight of stairs to go.

Frankie was slinging the whip non-stop.

When I reached the top, I puked. After I was finished, I scooted away from it and rested on my stomach.

The whip slashed my back again. "Did I say stop?!"

"No, master. Sorry, master." I continued to pull myself.

Frankie guided me toward the others. "Stop."

"Yes, master."

He squatted down, grabbing my arm, and yanked it behind me.

"Ahhhhhh!" I yelled when he did the same to my wrist and foot. "Ahhhhh!"

"Keep crawling."

After trying, I said, "I can't, master."

"What?!" He kicked my side a couple more times, cranking several ribs.

I coughed up blood, barely conscious.

He gripped my hair and dragged me toward a tall, busted-out window. He picked me up by my neck and pulled me out the window.

My feet dangled several stories above the concrete.

Frankie laughed. "And you thought I'd let the others live, you stupid son of a b****!"

Tears streamed down my cheeks. I hope my friends forgive me.

"Goodbye, b****." He let go of my neck.


Check out the sequel. It's called 'Waiting For His Return.'
