Chapter Ten

Time stood still; there was no recollection of how long she had been chained up within the same room, all she knew was that she was watching the night sky turn dark again just like when she arrived; but how long ago was that? She had lost track of everything, her muscles ached as muscle fatigue kicked in, her body fighting levels of dehydration and her wounds throbbing, ripping through her core.

The physical battle was not the hardest thing she had endured, the mental one was coming at her much stronger. Elizabeth willed herself not to cry, not to show any sign of weakness as she hung from her wrists, her head dipped forward and her eyes squeezed shut as she consumed herself with happy memories; memories of the young McCord, of Henry, her mother, father, brother, her staff, animals, simply anything. Anything that had at some point in her life given her joy, showed her a purpose and reminded her of love and humanity; that's what she craved right now, for someone to show some compassion and humanity.

The door to the secure room scraped against the stone, dust covered floor as it swung open, Ray merchant walking back into the room looking very smug with himself Elizabeth inhaled deeply, she had never despised anyone so deeply; not even the person who ran her parents off the road. She tried to swallow but her dehydration sucked all the saliva from her mouth, leaving her parched and desperate for water.

'Get her down' he ordered.

She felt her body collide with the floor, instant relief washing over her as her arms lowered to her sides. Her muscles were set alight, a fire ripping through her as they were given a moment to breathe. She looked up at him, fearful for his next moves, why did he want her free from the aching hold. He circled her, his eyes harshly staring down at her. The blonde locks, always in place were now darker, out of place and covered in dirt from the ground. Her white blouse creased, ripped, stained crimson red as they met her navy trousers.

He knelt down to her level, smirking and cackling In her face, evil radiating from him.

'Sam here, Sam this is your lucky day' he diverted his attention from Elizabeth to the young boy in the room before looking back to Elizabeth again. 'See he's a virgin, how amazing is it going to be when he can say he lost his virginity to the secretary of state?' Ray smirked, his words forcing her to close her eyes, her body tensing, her mind screaming at her to move, to stand and fight but she couldn't, the stress position had weakened her to the core.

'Urm, Ray I…I didn't, I didn't agree to that' he stumbled over his words. Ray stood up and marched over to him, thrusting a loaded gun to his temple and clicking it into position.

'You'll fucking fo it. Don't worry we'll give you the room' he winked at him. A bead of sweat ran down Sam's forehead, his Adams apple becoming evident as he gulped a breath, hard.

'Secure her' he commanded the other men to move towards her, grabbing at her arms and legs, laying her down and stretching them in different directions.

'No, Please, No' she tried to scream but it was more of a defeated whisper. She felt her body being shoved into the ground as her arms were secured in the chain holds over her head and her legs tied to different points in the room, forcing them open and apart. She twisted, trying to free herself but the remaining energy she had left was leaving her body slowly.

'Enjoy' Ray smirked and nodded for the other men to leave the room. He gave Sam a shove and forced him in Elizabeth's direction before leaving the room himself. Elizabeth instantly captured his gaze, his face petrified at the magnitude of what he was being asked to do.

'Don't, you don't have to do this' tears pricked in her eyes as she laid flat on her back, his body shifting as he stepped over her, lowering himself down as he straddled her. The room felt smaller somehow, his weight on her pelvis crushing her chest as she tried to calm her thoughts, the only mercy she could find was that they were both still fully clothed.

'Please' she breathed heavily, his eyes searching trying to break his barrier down. 'Don't throw your life away, you'll go to prison for this' her words hung by desperation in the air before them.

'No I won't, Ray said I won't. I'll get money for this. I want the money' he argued back, his thought process even younger than his appearance. Elizabeth shook her head, her ankles slowly rotating, slightly losing the rope on her one ankle, but not enough to set her free.

'You won't get ransom, the united states do not negotiate with terrorists' she panted

'I'M NOT A TERRORIST' he snapped at her, she sunk her body lower into the ground and she felt his rage fall on her.

'Ok, ok' she agreed. 'But they won't get the money, Please don't do this' she begged, her arms withering as she tried to free herself.

'If I don't Ray will kill me. I can't, my mom needs the money, she needs medical surgery, this will pay for it. I'm sorry, I have to do this-' he shifted on her body slightly and began to unbutton her trousers, the feel of his hand on her skin made Elizabeth's skin crawl, she squirmed beneath him, fighting his movements.

Her eyes suddenly snapped open as she felt an odd sensation on her leg, like something vibrated against her.

'Do you have a phone?' She asked with such an urgency she lost her breath. He looked up at her confused by her question. He looked around the room and back to her.

'Do you?' She pressed further and he slowly nodded. 'I can help you, don't do this and help me get out of here and I could talk to the police, say you helped me, maybe help you get off without a prison sentence' she begged, her body begging for a moment of relief. He heisted as he looked at her, the fear and panic matching hers but for very different reasons.

'Please' she bit down on her tongue as she swallowed her tears.

'He's expecting me to do this, I..I can't get out of this-'

'Sit up' she cut across him

'What?'

'Just sit up a bit, lift your body off mine a little. I'll give you an excuse out of this but you have to help me' she reasoned. He slowly nodded and began to raise his body off hers. With on hard, quick motion she used her leg which was not as restricted, bending it up sending her knee straight into his groin.

'ARHH' he shouted as his body rocked forward, falling onto hers. The impact of him winding her even more, her already struggling body was fighting harder as she whispered Henry's phone number into his ear, repeating it constantly until he eventually rolled off her, his hands gripping at his groin as he moaned in pain.

The commotion attracted the attention of those outside and Ray came running into the room.

'WHAT DID YOU DO?' He roared at Elizabeth, his eyes scanning her body and Sam's. He noticed her bent leg and the area Sam was covering. Ray snapped her leg back down straight, securing it so tight the rope caused a hot friction against her skin.

'Fuck man, my balls' Sam moaned and tried to stand up. Elizabeth smirked, a little proud of her handy work but it didn't go unnoticed.

'Wait it out Sam, you can try again in a bit. Let me show you how it's done…'
