Chapter Three- Exposed
I felt myself finally drift off to sleep. The door to the bathroom was becoming a mere blur and my whole body was going into immediate relaxation. My eyelids became heavy and all the thoughts in my head were pacified. The voices had stopped awhile ago, making it easier to ignore what is going on and make my heart cease to a normal beat. I was just a few moments away from falling into a deep sleep but the click of the door being unlocked startled me. I lay still on the couch, my hearing stronger then ever. The door was open quietly and it shut soundlessly. I heard each footstep taking down the stair and the fifth step creaked. I shut my eyes, hoping whoever was there would see that I was asleep and would leave me be. Whoever was there ran into the table, breaking the glass, causing me to cringe.
"I have dinner." It was the Eagle.
I didn't respond, I continued to pretend I was asleep.
"I know you're awake." The Eagle said gruffly. "I saw you flinch."
I unwillingly opened my eyes and looked at the broken table and then at the Eagle, who was bleeding just above his knee. I got up and headed for the bathroom.
"Where are you going?" He demanded.
I didn't answer. I opened the bathroom door and noticed the disinfection stuff and bandages. I grabbed both of them and headed towards the Eagle. He was watching me and stepped back when I came up to him. I ignored him and went on my knees to be leveled with his leg. I carefully put the disinfection stuff on his knee. Half of me expected him to pull away and say some obscene thing but he stayed perfectly still. I took out the bandage and delicately put it around his knee. I didn't look at him for approval; I did this because he did the same for me.
I saw some, what I'm assuming, soup spilled on the floor. There was some left so I grabbed the spoon that some how ended on the opposite side of the room, and sat uncomfortably on the couch and took a bite. It was…disgusting. I wasn't hungry at the moment so I placed it softly on the half broken table and glanced up to see the Eagle standing there. I looked away and fretfully played with the end of my shirt.
"Hungry?" He asked me.
I shook my head, refusing to look his way.
He took hold of the bowl and was about to leave but stopped. "You won't be getting food for a while," He began. "This may be disgusting now but in a few hours you will wish you ate it."
I didn't respond. I wasn't going to give in. For all I know they could of drugged it.
I heard him sigh in frustration and he left. He locked the door behind him and I felt myself sadden. I felt tears enter my eyes and I briskly brushed away the tear that got away. I took in a deep breath and gradually calmed myself done. Being so isolated and detached caused hollowness within me. The only thing I felt was the pain developing just above my neck. I put a little pressure on it, only making it worse.
"This sucks." Yes I know…understatement of the year.
The voices above me began again and I knew the necessity to sleep was going to be delayed temporally. I struggled to listen but the fatigue was prevailing. All the words said were mumbled together creating a new language. I felt myself surrender to sleep and I began closing my eyes. I faintly heard a door be unlocked but when the door was slammed open, I was entirely awake. I saw two men come down the stairs, neither of them the Eagle or the Chief. Their emotions were a mix of infuriation and intoxication. I rose up from the couch and backed up only to be greeted by the half shattered table. I tripped over it and before I knew it I was on the ground….with one of the men on top of me.
"You think you're so special?" He demanded, his breath a disgusting mix of vodka and cigarettes.
I didn't answer. Part of me afraid what would happen if I did and the other part of me afraid of what would happen if I didn't.
"Answer me bitch." He said a look of hatred lurking in his eyes.
I didn't.
"So I guess she can't talk." The other one said sardonically. "Maybe she can't talk but maybe she can scream."
At first I thought violence but when I saw the look in the guy's eyes on top of me, I knew better.
"I was thinking moan." He said, they both laughed while I felt a coldness wash over me.
The man on top of me started raising my shirt and felt his hands explore my thigh. I thought of fighting back, but there's no use. I am going to die here; I have no doubts, so why die a virgin? I felt his hands on my shorts and he pulled them done and tossed it over to the guy watching.
He smiled at me, causing a mixture of disgust and fears enter me. "It hurts the first time," He began, looking at me. "I'll make sure of that."
"What the hell is this?" Someone demanded. It was the Chief.
"Get the fuck off of her." Someone ordered. It was the Eagle.
"Ah come on." The man on top of me complained. "I haven't gotten any for awhile."
"Then I suggest you and you're buddy," The Eagle said nodding at the other man. "Become acquainted because he seems as desperate as you."
"Fuck off." The man on top of me said, shrugging him off. His hand went under my shirt again and they started to tug on the sides of my thong (remember tight dress is to thong as peanut butter is to jelly). I could tell he was surprise.
"Dirty girl." He said, his voice dripping with sleaze.
"Get your ass over here." The Chief demanded.
"Believe me fellas, it's my other part you should be concerned about." He said and before I knew it, he was dragged off me and hurled against the wall. I saw that it was the Eagle.
"Both of you." The Chief said pointing at them. "You're asses upstairs," He looked over at me for barely a second. "Now." He ordered.
The one that had become familiar with the wall left without any hesitation. The other one stood his ground.
The Chief looked at him. "Did you see your friend, how fucked up he is now?" He asked.
The man didn't respond.
"Let's just say if you don't get you're ugly ass up there, you won't be as lucky." He said menacingly.
The man didn't say anything at first but then grudgingly left. The Chief looked at me and I could tell he was sorry. I was surprised to say the least.
"This is probably the only time you will ever hear me say this," He began. "This wasn't your fault. Those two shitheads were drunk and horny and you have breast, simple as that." I looked at him confused. "Let's just say you didn't deserve any of this. But if something like this happens again, I might not be as generous." He walked away leaving me alone with the Eagle.
The Eagle was watching me as I weakly grabbed my shorts from of the ground and went to put them on. He turned away giving me as much privacy as he could and I quickly slipped them back on.
"You okay?" He asked me.
I didn't look at him but for once I answered him. "Yeah."
He didn't say anything else but look at me.
I heard the guys up stairs.
"You guys are idiots." It was the Chief.
"You're the idiot." One of them yelled back. "You're letting Tom be in charge of her." I didn't hear anything else because my eyes flew up meeting the Eagle's. Icy blue eyes. I'm a fucking idiot, everything became clear but more questions arose.
"Tom?" I questioned.
There was only one thing he could say. "Shit."
