Chapter 3: Of New Homes and New Problems
Blaise and Lily silently walked towards the building. Lily looked around and this time really noticed what was there. It wasn't an orphanage, no definitely not, it looked more like a… a work camp. She saw lines of people passing brinks around, they were building some kind of wall. Was it to keep someone out, or someone else in? She wasn't sure she wanted to know. Somewhere, she heard someone scream and quickly turned in the direction of the sound. And what she saw was something she had hoped never to witness in her life. There was a man, couldn't have been much older then 45, whipping a little girl while cursing and screaming at her. Lily shut her eyes quickly, she didn't want to be indifferent, but didn't know what there was she could do; so she grabbed Blaise's hand and held tight. Blaise looked down at Lily, and squeezed her hand back. He vaguely remembered what it was like his first time at this place, but he shook his head, trying to rid his mind of the awful memory and keep moving. Blaise guided Lily to a building at the far end of the camp. And only when Lily was sure they had entered the building did she finally open her eyes.
The room was dark and looked like no one had bothered to clean it in ages. Actually, it was hard to imagine there were people there at all. Blaise led Lily down a long hallway to a door that read: P. Brown. Blaise knocked once and waited for a replay before slowly opening the door.
"Is this the new one?" an overweighed, scruffy man asked without even looking up.
"Yea… her name is Lily, sir. Uhmm sir..." Blaise started, "You promised I could pick where the next one goes", he continued, trying his hardest to sound like it didn't matter to him.
Mr. Brown looked up from his paperwork and took one look at Lily and replayed, "No, I think I'll pick where she goes."
"But, sir…"
"No, you can have the next one sonny, but you can visit her all you want at night", Mr. Brown added giving Blaise a wink, at which Blaise tried his hardest not to wince back.
"Well, you see sir, I kind of thought she would make good use helping in the fields", Blaise said, trying to convince him not to put her in Group A.
"Blaise, does this one mean something to you?" Mr. Brown asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh no, sir" Blaise replied, trying his hardest to not to make it obvious that he was lying through his teeth.
"Oh… that's too bad, we could have made a nice twist and forced you to fuck her", Mr. Brown said frowning, "Well, show her to her home in Group A, will you Blaise? I have too much work to do."
Blaise grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her through the doorway without answering Mr. Brown. Once out of earshot, Blaise pulled Lily into him and gave her a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry, so, so sorry, Lily"
"It's ok, I know you tried, and it's not really your fault anyway. What… what exactly do I have to do anyway?", Lily asked, still a little unsure of what was being asked of her, or what was in store for her.
Blaise looked down at Lily, she was so pretty, in that little girl way. Her red curls flowed like waves mid way down her back. Her milky, white skin complemented her hair and freckles nicely and it was nearly impossible to pull away from her emerald eyes. Blaise sighed, "Oh Lily", his eyes glazed over with unshed tears, "They put a bunch of really pretty girls in this apartment building, and everyone does get their own rooms. During the day, you can be in charge of meals for the orphans and staff around here or you can clean the offices. But, then at night…" Blaise trialed off and gulped, he really didn't want to break such horrible news to such an innocent girl. Yet if he didn't, someone else will and they might not do it so nicely, "At night, you are to provide…Uhmm, pleasure, to the staff".
"So basically, we are sex toys to those men out there, who act like slave owners".
Blaise couldn't help but gape, he apparently had underestimated her. "They are pretty much slave owners. Oh, I'm so sorry Lily, so sorry."
"At least… at least, I'll be with Alexis," Lily said as she made a sorry attempt to smile.
Blaise tried to smile back, but it didn't work too well, "C'mon I'll show you wear and where your room is". Blaise led Lily out of the building and back out to the field, where the kids were passing bricks. Lily looked closer and saw that they weren't bricks at all, but red cinder blocks. Lily scanned the area for the girl that was being whipped before. When she found her she wished she hadn't, she grabbed Blaise's hand and forced herself to look. Lily needed to know what she was up against.
The girl, who was being whipped, had been originally wearing a white shirt, but now you would never know. Her shirt was red and in rags, soaked in blood. The girl's arms, legs or whatever skin was visible, was covered in bleeding welts, much like the ones you get when you snap yourself with a rubber band, except a lot bigger. The girl was still being followed around by the man who whipped her before, just waiting for an excuse to whip her again. The girl was struggling to carry two cinder blocks at a time, one more then everyone else.
As Lily walked she noticed that the girl wasn't the only one with welts covering her skin; and some of the girls were badly shaven bald, so there were scars all over their heads. Lily couldn't help but grab her hair, living in this boarding house couldn't possible be that bad.
Blaise and Lily eventually reached the boarding house and after a quick kiss on the head and promising to be back, Blaise left. Now, Lily was all by herself in a room about the size of a small pantry. She didn't know what to do or where to go but wait. She sat on the floor examining the small room, there was a window, but it was too far up for her to see out of and there were no closets and no dressers. Only a bed, one bed, 'Well, at least I wont be sharing a room', she thought, in attempt to cheer herself up. She got up and sat on her bed, after sleeping on a porch step the night before, she was extremely tired and it didn't take her long to fall asleep. With dreams of Diagon Ally with Blaise and Alexis, Lily had a peaceful sleep… well, about as peaceful as you can get when your dad beats you, you ran away from home, and now your stuck in some sort of work camp, forced to become some old man's sex slave.
It wasn't long before Lily was shaken awake. As soon as Lily felt someone's hands on her, she shot up.
"I was afraid I would go have to get cold water to wake you up".
"Oh jeez, it's only you Alexis, you scared me"
"Sorry I didn't mean too. I have come to give you the rundown. Since you're new, you'll get a younger guy tonight, they have some crazy rotational system so I have no idea which guy. I am two doors down, if you need me, but take my advice, your best bet is just to let the guy do whatever he wants or it will hurt so much more." Alexis said, assuming that Lily was still a virgin.
"Oh… when does he come?"
"Not really sure, everyone gets off from work at 8 o'clock, so somewhere around then would be my guess."
"Alexis… what time is it now"
"7:50", she mumbles under her breath, "I got to go, but I brought you some of my school books like I promised, maybe they will keep you busy during the day… or while you wait for this guy to show up."
A small, "Thanks," was Lily's reply.
"Oh, I promise we will be out of here soon, only a few more days till school, just hang in there, think about going to a magical castle, far away, where no bad people will ever find you." Alexis didn't see any use scaring Lily even more about the Dark Lord, she would learn soon enough. "Hey, you may never know, maybe they'll forget to send someone up here today." Alexis said with a weak smile.
Lily smiled back, "Ironic, how even now, I am hoping they forget about me"
Alexis leaned over and gave Lily a great big hug. 'There is no need for an eleven year old girl to go through this, no matter what she's already seen, maybe Blaise can drive us early to Diagon Ally and we'll stay in a hotel till the bus shows up', Alexis thought. As Alexis pulled back there was a knock at the door. The two girls pulled apart, Alexis kissed Lily on the forehead good-bye, and they both walked to the door to see what evil being will be fucking an eleven year old girl tonight.
A/N: Alright I apologize besides this chapter being extremely late; it's extremely short and not very good. I sorta uhmm lost where I was going with this story. I had plans on paper of what was going to happen in each chapter, I did, I swear, I just don't know where it is.
If I get some reviews, positive or negative (constructive criticism) ill update sooner. Again, I apologize.
