Chapter Two
(Lucy's POV) Lucy was so taken in her pole work she hadn't noticed when the bluenette left the room or loopilly sauntered back in. What caught her attention was when a group of men that had been cheering at her stalked away towards another group of men. Lucy's eyes went wide when she spotted Levy. Her friend's eyes looked wrong and her movements were everywhere. She looked as if she was in a trance, that's when Lucy knew she was high. Levy was afraid of men and she never interacted with them more than she had to, there was no way she was doing this without drugs, even worse, Lucy knew the blue haired girl had taken something other than benzos. Levy had never been this bold with those, Lucy felt her heart constricting and ice run through her veins. She truly ached for her best friend. 'She must have gone this far for me because she knows i'm uncomfortable.' That was just like Levy, she was so kind, she never let me go through anything alone.
'Levy doesn't deserve to be stuck in this shit hole, neither do i.' Lucy felt bitter and angry for the both of them once more. The longer she watched men do body shots off Levy the sicker she felt knowing Levy was trying to help her out and stick with her through the embarrassment. Lucy wanted to curl up in a ball and hide her body away, it may not seem like it from the way she was flaunting but to her, her body was sacred. They had been forced to stay here and work for Jose. Lucy would never be so naive again, it was her fault she was topless and men were doing body shots off Levy. Lucy thought back to when she first met Jose, he seemed like a nice person, someone who truly wanted to help them out. He offered her a job as a waitress at his 'restaurant' she and Levy at the time desperately needed work if they wanted a roof over their heads. She came home and gave the flyer to Levy and they both squealed, cheered and thanked God for it. But when they arrived at the so called restaurant it turned out to be a strip club and they were strong armed in by Jose's men. Jose turned from a nice caring man into a twisted perverted gangster in an instant.
They had no hope of leaving, Jose's men kept tabs on the two and anytime they did anything Jose deemed suspicious he'd have them tortured and beat bloody. Lucy wanted to escape so badly, oh so badly. Yet her and Levy were both terrified of what would happen if they got caught. They'd sold their soul to the Devil the minute they set foot in Jose's club. Suddenly the beat of the music sped up and the bass got even lower. Lucy knew exactly what that meant, it was time for her closing show, her fire dance. Lucy gripped the pole and thought a silent apology to her parents in Heaven for what she was about to do. 'Tonight will be our last night here Levy, i swear it on my life.'
Lucy seductively rubs her hands up and down the pole and puts on a sensual face, the crowd of men go silent and attentively watch. Lucy seductively latches on and arches her back as she swings to the opposite side, sliding down she licks the pole and gives a loud sensual moan meeting the eyes of multiple men. They go crazy and start yelling sexual innuendoes and throwing even more cash. 'Levy has done a very good job, these men are so wasted they'll throw everything they've got right at me now.' Lucy smirked, she began twirling and dancing as erotically as she possibly could. Hope filled her mind, she had a plan. They would either escape Jose's clutches tonight or die trying. She knew Levy couldn't keep this up and neither could she, they'd been trapped in this life for six long miserable months. After closing before her and Levy bring Jose his cut she'll hide the cash in the bathroom, she'll then grab Levy and slip into the bathroom to escape out the window. It was a two story drop but a broken bone would be far better than what will happen to them if they don't get away.
Lucy and Levy were virgins, Jose always let his girls keep their virginity for the first few months until they gained popularity. Then he would sell their bodies to men who frequented the club who offered the right prices. Fortunately, she and Levy hadn't experienced that yet, but after tonight if they didn't escape they would very very soon. 'I cannot let Levy suffer again, i have to get us out of here.' Lucy focuses harder on her dancing, she spins around multiple times making the most sexual faces she has ever made. Lucy looks as if shes a Goddess of sex in these moments. She swings around and dances moving as if shes the wind or even free. In this moment she owns the stage. 'Thats right. Throw me all your money you perverts.' Regrettably she doesn't notice the pair of jealous eyes watching her movements with rage.
(Levy's POV) Everything felt like it was spinning to Levy. The music shifted back and forth from screeching as if it were a hawk to being muffled like she were underwater. She knew she'd made enough money now and could stop, she giggled coming down off the bar table. Looking to the floor she felt as if she were hundreds of feet up even though she was a mere 4 feet off the ground, with a determined face she sloppily hopped to the ground. 'Woow, i wonder if this is how Alice felt when she fell…' Levy thought of a book she liked, imaging the trip from the bar to the ground to be the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Reality hit her as her backside hit the floor, she looked around to see the men still watching her and speaking but Levy couldn't hear them. She found the whole situation for some reason hilarious, who would've ever guessed this would be her life? She mused to herself suddenly she found herself looking at a small baby with blue tuffs of hair. 'Baby Levy, you're daddy's gonna 'love' you like he should mommy, he's gonna sneak around the night while mommy cries. Then one day you're gonna take and snort drugs from weird men who wear make up, men will ogle you and drink fire water off your little belly.. This world will taint you black little meee~' Levy felt no sadness, she felt great. Her life was a joke to her right now and nothing mattered. 'Oh wait.. Oh yeah, something does matter, i just need to get the money and put it somewhere safe for me and Lu.'
Levy leaned down to grab the shimmering money from the far away ground but her hand never seemed to make it. She felt as if she was floating, muffled voices came from around her and she couldn't understand why the money seemed to be so far from her now. Lazily looking up she watched doors open as if they were a egress from an adventure tale. Oh how she loved adventures, all Levy wanted was to live a life of fun and freedom. To watch the stars, to swim, to have friends and safety. She wished to travel and maybe fall in love. 'Too bad men are scary.' The vivid pastels now turned into washed out toxic neons and everything became darker. Levy felt fear begin clawing at her insides and suddenly things didn't seem so humorous. She began to break out in a cold sweat and struggling against whatever was on her. She realized it must be a man after focusing a bit, it must be one of the men from the bar. Levy felt as if her entire body now weighed a ton yet her mind was light. She saw lines of beads spread by a set of hands and the usual soft clink of the beads were replaced by the sound of a hurricane.
She flew for what felt like minutes and suddenly was met with a hard surface on her back. She looked above her to see three men hovering around with predatory smiles, all the colors around her violently crashed into each other and the men looked as if they were lit candles. Their skin and bodies getting goopy and seeming to drip and melt away. Levy was terrified, a scream worked its way up her throat to the outside world yet instead of hearing her own shrill voice she heard skin hitting skin and the side of her face lit up like fire. She tried to crawl away, eyes wide open and obviously in shock. She saw the men's mouths move but hyena laughter came out instead of a humans. To her they were predators and she was the prey, they ensnared her and were closing in. Painful ice seemed to dance everywhere around here body, their hands made her feel dirty and cold. Their hands were everywhere, on everything, grabbing, pulling, pinching, rubbing, groping. 'Please stop! Someone help me! Please mom i'm so sorry! I'm sorry daddy touched me, please forgive me! Please save me!'
Levy's mind throws her back into a past she wishes would disappear. She's seven years old and shaking in the dark, suddenly her boogeyman slithers into her room as if he was a snake. Warning bells sounding off in her head and her nose is filled with the sickening scent of hard liquor. Her bedroom door just barely cracked and a single stream of light seeped in from the hallway, suddenly the boogeyman's face appears. Her mother lay in the living room selfishly crying herself to hysterics over her marriage and husband who had no interest in her. She cries and does nothing to save Levy from the monster in her room, she allows the darkness to swallow Levy up. The boogeyman puts his twisted face to Levy's young precious head and whispers words like myasthma into her ears as he takes pieces of her innocents. 'Please dad no! Mom is crying, please stop, don't touch me, please! Mom will hurt me again daddy, no!'
Levy looks to the three men in front of her and suddenly their bodies are that of serpents, she screams and pleads and cries. Now kicking and hitting, biting and slashing with her nails as their faces twist into the cruel one of her boogeyman. Her body feels like a punching bag, fist after fist collide with her face, neck, body, legs, and she hears a snap. Her finger is bent at a sickening angle and her hand feels like a volcano as a river of fire courses through her arm up through her brain firing off every pain sensor in her. She lets out a sickening cry only to be greeted once more by violence. Tongues, mouths and hands control her and suddenly she's even colder. The men begin tearing her clothes away as if lions digging into a meal, a hand clamps her mouth and ice is once more dancing around her but on her most private regions. Levy is frantic and her mind is too far gone, she bites down on the hand holding her face and jerks her head to the side as hard as she can.
Blood and flesh meet her tongue as pained screams greet her ears. A fist hits her face and she spits the chunk of flesh from her mouth gagging and vomits. Her own bloody dripping from her body everywhere and a strange mans blood now dripping from her mouth. She was appalled and disgusted, she flew up to escape only to have the other two men bang her back down onto the table. Holding her in place as the man with the bleeding hand stands. A glint of silver catches Levy's eyes and suddenly he's carving her as if she were wood. They don't even care to cover her mouth anymore, the music was too loud for anyone to hear her anyways. 'Please someone help….. Lu..' Her consciousness leaving her more than it already had, Levy begins to feel heavy and numb.
