Chapter 2 – The Capture
Sunday beautifully fell upon the town of Tomeoda. The birds were singing their hearts out, the sun was shinning bright, everything was calm and quiet, Sakura was still sleeping soundly, like a child, that is until the shrill voice of Margaret, Sakura's stepmother, ruined it all. "Sakura! Gordon's here, get down here!" her voice was menacing, but trying to be polite at the same time. Gordon was sitting on the sofa smirking involuntarily at his thoughts.
With a groan of distaste, Sakura woke up to her shrill voice and willingly went back to sleep, muffling her voice with her white pillow. Her queen-sized bed was covered with tangle pale pink sheets with her knotted inside. She was wearing a white tank top with light pink pyjama bottoms, which were wrinkled after she slept in them. "Sakura! Get down here!" She ignored her calls. After a few mumbled words she couldn't understand, she drifted beck to sleep.
A low creaking sound was heard in the background but she ignored it and the feeling of unease that crept upon her. She suddenly tensed up feeling a rough hand marking her smooth skin. Alarmed, she grabbed the person's wrist and gripped it making the unknown person moan in pain. She turned around seeing Gordon desperately trying to loosen her tight grip. She released his wrist. "What are you doing in my room! Get out!" Gordon ignores her shout and stared at her roughly clothed body. "Get out now before you regret it." She said lowly but managed to get her message through him.
She slammed the door right when he got out, locked it and went to the bathroom to get ready. After brushing her teeth and a short shower, she came out tightly wrapped in a towel. She went in her walk in closet and changed. Deciding to wear something casual, she chose plain dark blue jeans and a simple white t-shirt that said "save me" in faded blue letters with a faded blue cross right below it. Her t-shirt was not too tight nor was it too lose, it reached about 1 1/2" below her waist. After she slipped on a pair of tennis shoes, she walked out her room and treaded slowly down the stairs dreading to see the 2 people that she did not anything to do with. "Sakura, so nice you to join us." Margaret said with an extremely sugary voice that dripped with sarcasm. "Gordon here is going to take you out today, off you go." She pushed both Sakura and Gordon out the door hastily, "don't you dare ditch him, or there will be consequences." She whispered in Sakura's ear before she closed the door.
"Come on Sakura, lets go to the movies." Before Sakura could protest, she was literally dragged to the theatre. "What do you want to watch? How 'bout " she haven't said a word since she left the house. There was no need. Gordon enjoyed talking so much he basically talked to himself the whole way while glancing constantly at his reflections on every possible shiny thing. Here he goes again, staring at his reflection on plastic of the ticket booth, that is until his eyes rested on the ticket girl, sure she was pretty, with golden blond hair and sky blue eyes, she was also easy to get with her flirty personality. Gordon volunteered to buy the tickets. He took quite a long time so Sakura who was losing her patience rather quickly went to check out what he was doing. "So, I'll see you tomorrow night, bye babe." He winked at the ticket girl while she giggled.
Sakura couldn't help but roll her eyes. Stupid jock. Yep, Gordon was a typical jock that bullied everyone "lesser" than him and cheerleaders flirted with him, even though he rarely went on the field and he wasn't that good at sports either.
Gordon jogged up to Sakura, grabbed her hand and pulled her to the right theatre, got their tickets checked and sat in the middle of the room. It started out fine, since they were both into the movie and amazed by the special affects, but in the middle of the movie where there was a sex scene, Gordon started to come on to her by touching her thigh. She slapped his hand away before he went any farther. He retreated momentarily, but after a moment he started again. Ignoring to hushed voices of the other audience, she swiped his hand off her while saying that she was going to get a coke, ditched him and walked back home.
When she was home Margaret was beyond furious. She had already disobeyed her twice in 3 days already. She was surprised she only got a yelling last night. Maybe because the maids were still there when she went home Friday night, but no such luck today, it was Sunday and the maids were off 'till tomorrow. "You fucking bitch. How dare you disobey me again after all that I've done for you." She slapped her again and again. "I should have never taken you in you ungrateful slut." She socked her on her face and she fell leaving Margaret to kick her repeatedly all over her body, pressing her sharp heel into her gut while cursing her to hell. Sakura stared at her with a blank face, as if this happened everyday. Why won't Sakura fight back? It's not that she wouldn't, it's because she couldn't. Margaret had framed her for her father's death, holding every single misleading information that could very well lead to Sakura. Margaret kept the evidences so the police had no lead as to who had murdered her father. There was no evidence at all so the case was closed for now.
When Margaret had finished her brutal beatings, she went back to her room acting as if nothing had happened. Sakura wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth and picked herself up and trudged into the bathroom cleaning her wounds expertly and wrapping her wounds with ease. Sure the wounds hurt, but after so many years of beatings, her nerves were a bit damaged causing the pain to come later. Throwing out the empty bottles of painkillers she went into her room to change into a new set of clothing, a plain black t-shirt and dark blue jeans. She walked to the pharmacy to get some painkillers since she was all out.
After she bought 2 bottles of pills and a bottle of water, she strolled to the park to and decided to take it there. She didn't want to go home yet, not now, so she sat on the swing and started to swing gently back and forth. The park was pretty deserted since it was quite dark now. How she hated her life, she had no friends except for Jules. She was her only true friend. Her other "friends" if you like to call them that, loved to spread rumours about her, it was like it was their only hobby. Her parents, dead, her brother, disappeared when she was 10. Her father thought she was lonely, since she was always alone, so he married Margaret. Someone he thought would keep her company. At first, Margaret was extremely nice, she was like a friend, but when her father died, the true she devil was released.
Sakura looked up when she saw a shadow looming above her. It was three guys. They grabbed her roughly when she looked up. Her punches and kicks were weak as pain soared through her from the previous beating, but she manage to knock out the guy that was holding her back while the others checked her pockets for any money. But then, the robbers caught the gleam around her neck. It was the golden locket that her mother had left her. Seeing them try to grab it, she found strength to kick him in the gut, throwing him off to the side, but before she could turn around, she was knocked unconscious by the third robber.
