Chapter 7
The Enemy
WITH EMILY AND JJ
Emily woke up disoriented. After her memories came flooding back to her she looked down and slaw an unconscious sleeping blond. She realized it was JJ and attempted to wake her up, but her hands were still tied together. Finally a confused JJ woke up.
"Emily? I must still be dreaming." JJ slurred.
"No, No it's really me your not dreaming" Emily said, desperate to keep the blond awake.
"Emily what the hell?" JJ said confused.
"We set up an undercover operation to get you out of here. Morgan pretended to kidnap me. I can't believe we got put in the same cell." Emily said.
"What if they hurt you?" JJ asked concerned.
"I will be fine. It's you I'm worried about what the hell happened?" Emily asked examining JJ's injuries, well the ones she could see.
"about what you'd think." JJ said avoiding her stare.
"Okay," Emily said deciding to let it go,"my name is Brooke Foster by the way, and Morgan is Casey Maxwell." Emily said. JJ nodded still looking at the ground. JJ longed for Morgans touch. She hoped it wouldn't be long until she saw him.
"JJ you know you can always tell me anything." Emily said, worried about her best friend. Again JJ nodded but still said nothing. JJ was saved by the door opening
"Hey sweetheart. Oh look you have a friend now. This must be the new girl I was told about. What's your name?" Donovan said. Neither girl said anything.
"When I ask you a question you answer me bitch." Donovan yelled punching Emily in the stomach. She doubled over in pain, the awkward sitting position she was in was not making it any better. Through gritted teeth she said,"Go to hell." She again received his fist at her face and anywhere else until she was laying on the ground shaking from the pain.
"Stop it!" JJ continued to yell through out the entire beating.
"Feisty one ain't ya." Donovan said. When she didn't answer he looked at JJ, "you have another appointment in an hour. I will go get your clothes." He said leaving the room. JJ looked down at herself and remembered she was still wearing the robe from the last appointment. She shook her head and looked at Emily to see she was still shaking on the ground.
"Emily are you okay?" JJ asked. She saw a faint nod and turned her head away, tears in her eyes. She knew her friends meant the best and that they were only trying to help her, but now it was worse. Not only did she get abused she now has to watch her best friend suffer the same fate. Emily's voice pulled her put of her thoughts.
"What did he mean by appointment." Emily asked in a small voice. Lucky for JJ she didn't have to answer once again because Donovan walked in the room holding a small white dress with a bag of make up and hair supplies.
"Get yourself ready. We leave in an hour. We have a busy day today. I don't know if you will even come back here until tonight." He said leaving the room. JJ let the tears fall knowing that today would probably be the worst day of her life.
"Aw JJ." Emily said now sitting up.
"I don't want to talk about it." JJ managed to get out before breaking into a sob.
"Just tell me this. Did you have an appointment yesterday?" Emily asked carefully.
"yes." JJ said with a shudder. Emily had tears in her eyes. She couldn't stand to see her best friend like this. So, so broken. No. JJ is strong and whatever happened did not break her. Emily wouldn't let it. JJ slowly stood up and started to take off her robe. Luckily her bra and panties had survived the ordeal yesterday and she was wearing them under the robe. Emily started to turn her head but JJ stopped her.
"No you have to see the bruises." JJ said. Emily gasped at the sight of her strong media liaison. Her torso was nearly black and blue. She had several bruises and cuts all over her arms and legs. Her face however probably looked the worst of it all. There was hardly any clear skin between bruises. They were a nasty dark color and would take weeks to heal along with her many other injuries. Emily could guess that she had at least one broken rib from how dark her stomach was. But her eyes were drawn to the large bruises on the insides of her thighs.
"Oh JJ. You went through hell." Emily said through tears. JJ continued to sob as she put on the tight white dress. After she was done squeezing it on with the help of Emily she fixed her hair and make up to the best of her abilities. Her ever so weak body slowly giving up. As soon as JJ was done, the door opened only this time Jasper walked in.
"Come on let's go." He said roughly grabbing her right arm. She didn't even look back at a still shaking Emily as he dragged her out of the room. Emily could only wish her luck and pray for her as she went off to another day of hell. When were they going to get out of this horrible place?
