Part 5
Pearl opened her eyes and sat up..."Where am i now?
What happened?" She said quietly. The stench that filled the
room lingered up Pearl's nostrils. She got up from the filthy
mattress and examined the room. There was a black rug on the cold
flag-stoned floor. Pearl strongly suspected that the rug was meant to
be white. She then moved towards the tiny window. It had bars and it
was so small, there was no way she could climb out of it.
BANG!!!!
The door smashed open. Pearl turned around in horror. The two men who
knocked her out, were looking at her hungrily. "Well, well...if
it isn't Pearl..." The fat man said. He was wearing a white
cotton shirt that barely covered his fat stomach and dirty brown
trousers. His face was almost black and his teeth were yellow.
Pearl
screamed and backed up against one of the walls. The two faces from
her past were still looking at her.
"You remember us then do
ya?" The other man said. He was considerably thinner than the
other man, but he wore the same clothes.
Pearl nodded. "But
i'd rather forget..." her eyes filled with tears.
The men
laughed. "You must be hungry?" The fat man said.
Pearl
nodded.
The thin man reached into his pocket and pulled out a
peace of white bread and threw it on the floor. "There ya go"
They laughed and slammed the door. Pearl heard the noise of them
locking the door. She picked up the bread and stuffed it into her
mouth, her insides were aching with hunger.
She then sat down on
the floor and began to weep.
"Pearl, Pearl my
sweetheart,"
Pearl heard this and looked towards where the
speaker came from. Jack was outside the barred window. Pearl rushed
towards him and put her hands through the bars and stroked his face.
"How did you find me?"
"It's a long story love, but
it is complicated..."...
