Chapter 14: Captured and Chained
I groan as I come to and slowly sit up, body aching as I turn and look around. I see a few men standing over me.
"
I see them turn and look at me and the man staring at me smiles, but that smile makes me nervous, it's a cruel kind of smile.
I start to move and freeze eyes flicking downward as I realize that I'm chained up. I shift nervously and eye the chains, weighting them in my mind, trying to decide if I'll be able to break them.
I make a choice and prepare to jump forward.
I jerk forward and groan as the chains snap me back against the wall.
I groan as my ribs and arms ache and protest my escape attempt.
My captors laugh as I try to sit up and hiss in pain.
Over the next few days they try to force me to work. My Carapace is criss-crossed by hot-whips and my legs and arms receive burns from them. I refuse to give up, I will figure out a way to find my family and get out. I promise I will.
~*~
I'm not sure how long its been now, but they've started starving me to make me work. I made it nearly two weeks before I begged for food the first time. Its harder to make myself go past that point now. But I force myself to, I force myself not to beg for it.
I refuse to beg anymore, I've shammed my family enough, I can't risk doing it again.
Pain is their weapon.
They beat me, torture me, and starve me.
I scream as they lash open my legs this time and I try to curl tighter, but I can't get tighter.
They grab one of my hands and squeeze it so tight I hear as well as feel the bones snap.
I scream, from the pain of it, but I refuse to beg for food.
They want to break me, to force me to give in.
I won't be broken.
I won't.
