You Are My Sunshine

Disclaimer: Chapter 1

Veronica was slowly awakened by a low and menacing voice. She could tell that it was Mercer and he was on a phone, because of the lack of another voice. She opened her eyes carefully, so she wouldn't alert him that she was awake. She tried to make no sudden movements as she looked to see where he was.

She noticed how cold she was and realized that she was only in her underwear. "He did it again!" Her mind screamed. She was enraged. "How did I survive it?" She asked herself several times in her head. No answer would come. Her senses were fully awake, and she realized that she was bound hand and foot, and her hair was gone. "Most likely shaved," She thought.

More than ever she wished she could just be in her father's or Logan's safe arms.

Mercer ended his phone call and stepped over to Veronica. She quickly snapped her eyes shut, and hoped he didn't notice.

"Ronica Mars! You should know that you don't fool me. I know you're awake! Come on baby, let's have some fun. Normally you would be in your room waking up to nothing, and your hair gone, but you aren't my normal type. You... well let's say you are so much more resilient! I didn't know that about you, but I should have expected it since you've been raped before." He took the gag out of her mouth. "What do you have to say about that Ronny?"

"What do you want Mercer? Why do you find pleasure in ripping girls of their safety and innocence?" "Innocence? You think that the girls were innocent? Far from it Mars, far from it. You especially." "What do you know about me Mercer? Have you ever had the chance to really get to know any of the girls you traumatized?'

"I bet in the beginning everybody liked you, thought you were great, but you knew, you knew all along that you were sinister. That you had a heart made from hell. You know you would eventually do something like this, but you let it happen." As she finished her sentence she felt a stinging slap across her face, and blood start to pour from her lip.

She silently fumed, angered by him. He stood up, gave a forced smile and left the dark, small room they were in. As soon as he left she gave a deep sigh, and regretted it. It hurt to breathe after all, he did choke her. She was amazed that she lived through all of the things he had done. She didn't know how, or when, but she knew that she would escape. And she would nail the jerk that did this to her.

Once she was sure that Mercer was gone and wouldn't be coming back into the room for at least a few minutes, she tried to looked around. From what she could see there was no windows, only one door, and it looked like there was no means of escape. She knew better though, there had to be someway out. She slowly sat up, and tried to loosen her bindings. After a few torturing minutes of rubbing her wrists together she finally felt a snap!

She gently rubbed her wrists for a second, and then got to work on her feet. She stood up after a little while, and almost collapsed. She carefully got up this, but not so quickly. Yes, Veronica Mars learned quickly.

She rubbing her finger tips from wall to wall, hoping that she would find a hollow spot. She almost gave up hope until her fingers found an unusual square space. She tapped lightly on it and determined that it was hollow. She tried pushing on it, and tried to see if if anything would slide, but it was entirely useless.

She sank down to the floor in defeat, which is unusual itself for a Mars.

As she leaned against the wall she felt something sharp poking into her bare back. She moved off the wall and tried to find out what is was. She found a little, almost hidden, silver lever. She pushed the little lever and the square space above her made a sound. A popping sound of sorts.

She went to see why, but she heard footsteps coming towards the door. "Damn it!" She thought. "He is going to hurt me because I broke free! She started sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't know how in the world Mercer had a place like this, and she didn't know what that lever did. Hopefully something good, or else she just might not make it. God knows that she needed to. She needed to be with her friends and her family, the little she had.

Mercer entered the room with a smirk on his face. " Veronica, you wanna have some fun?"

"If fun means beating your ugly ass to pulp, than sure." He laughed, unfazed by what she said "Roninca, that was harsh, but somewhat funny. I like a girl who is funny. You know what else I like?" She rolled her eyes and replied, "Men? We always knew you had an eye for Logan. I can admit though, he is pretty handsome."

With that remark she earned herself another slap, but she also earned the pleasure of making Mercer mad.

Soon, maybe next chapter I will put in some non-graphic flashbacks.
