Locked Up

Tiana woke with a pounding headache. Her eye-lids fluttered as she tried to fully open them. She managed to get eyes open to see she was in a room with very little light.

'Where am I?' she thought, her head was still pounding and it hurt to keep her eyes open for a long time, so she would shut her eyes and open them again repeatedly. As she tried to remember what happened before this, and how she got such a headache she started making sense of her surroundings She felt her hands locked in some kind of handcuff and her feet chained to the floor. Was she in a dungeon? Why would she be in something so.. medieval? She didn't ponder on it much as she tried to move around a bit. The metal started digging in her skin, she hissed at the sudden pain and the sting that came with it. She decided that she was captured somehow and tried to free herself by slowly moving around to no avail.

She grunted and swore under her breath as she tried again to break free of her holds to only get the same result. Why did this happen in the first place? She couldn't remember a thing and every time she tried to think about what happened before this the image of Jazzy and James crying popped up with a very weary looking Eudora. Either than that everything was blank. Tiana wondered about what had happened to her children and mother. Were they suffering through the same thing? Or was it worse? Oh god...what if they are dea-. Tiana screamed out in pain as the headache was now becoming stronger and in frustration at not being able to figure out was going right now. She hung her head low in defeat.

"Mama!" she heard a soft call. Tiana's head jerked up at the sound of the voice. It so soft and sweet, almost comforting. But it sounded so frightened and there was a very thick accent associated with it. She could only think of one person with such a voice.

"Jazzy?" Tiana called out to the voice, hoping it was right.

"Mama...I'm scared..whats going on?" Jazzy whimpered, Tiana could tell she was trying to stay strong but her voice kept shaking and it was obvious she was giving into fear quickly.

"Oh God Jazzy...I'm so happy to hear your voice." Tiana said with a small sigh of relief. If Jazzy was with her, where was James and Eudora? Tiana didn't even what to think about that. If they weren't here that only meant they were going through something much worse or they were dea-...she couldn't even finish the thought. Please Lord let them be safe.

"Mama..whats going on?" Jazzy asked again.

"Jazzy I wish I knew..I'm sorry I don't know..but Jazzy please be strong." Tiana said with another small sigh. Even though the light in room was very dim and she could barely see anything she knew Jazzy was crying. She could hear her trying to cry softly so it wouldn't be heard, but Tiana heard it and her heart broke. How did their life come to this?! They were a small family of 4 (counting Eudora) living in their mother's small and humble home, trying to make dreams come true and ends meet. But one slip up, one step backwards and they ended up here.

"M-a-ama..I'm sorry-y.. I-I'm j-just scared for gra-a-n-ndmama...and J-James." Jazzy cried trying to keep herself together.

"I know Jazzy, so am I. God, I wish could give you a hug right now. Jazzy?" Tiana said, turning the last part into a question.

"Yes?" Jazzy said, her voice still shaking.

"Can you please tell me what happened?" Tiana asked sweetly, trying to make the situation more calm, even though it was far from calm.

"O-okay..well t-the man..Rafael I think..h-he did something to you on the b-boat and you just p-passed out. I-I thought you were dead..but you a-aren't..thank God." Jazzy started, her tears stopped and there were only brief moments where she could pause and sniffle.

Tiana's eyes widen at the sound of the name Rafael, she didn't know how or why, but she knew that name from somewhere. She just couldn't place the face to the name.

"Continue." Tiana encouraged.

"Then we d-docked somewhere..like an i-island. The men on the boat took James, G-grandmama, you and I to this place. We moved to this place..it was like a-a city. T-there were factories everywhere and a-alot of people cheering when we were walking b-by them and i-into t-this b-building..It was l-like a-a warehouse...th-a-ats where t-they..." Jazzy stopped, she had started crying and Tiana didn't know why. What had happened at this warehouse? Why would there be such an industrial city on island?! What had happened?!

"Jazzy...please continue" Tiana wanted to hear what happened, at the same time she was worried and didn't want to hear it . What could they had done to Jazzy, to make her act like that?

"Mama! They did horrible things to us! They b-beat J-James! They..they beat him so much..I couldn't even recognize him w-when they s-stopped. It was all my fault too! Mama! I'm sorry" Jazzy shouted while crying. She was going into hysterics after she finished her confession. She was screaming and crying and saying sorry over and over again to Tiana. Tiana just froze, mouth agape and eyes widened. They beat James? Her baby? Until Jazzy couldn't recognize him?! She felt sadness and anger course through her veins. Her poor baby..

Tiana could still hear her daughter screaming and crying. She wanted to run and bury her with her hugs, but she couldn't. She knew that wouldn't help even if she would be able to. Whatever they did at the 'warehouse' traumatized her sweet, innocent daughter and changed her forever. And all Tiana could do was sit and watch...no! Tiana needed Jazzy to be strong, and whatever the case she knew Jazzy could do it, shes done million of times before..this time was no different.

"Jazzy! Stop! Enough! Nothing is your fault, if anything its mine. I should of done something w-while..t-they were beating my b-baby." Tiana said as tears brimmed her eyes.

"No!" Jazzy called out all of a sudden, "You did do something! You pushed them off and fought back! You were so s-strong! You kept hitting and fighting back!" Jazzy voice grew with each statement, finding a new sense of admiration for her mother with each word. "Until they st-stabbed you..i-in t-the ba-back of the h-head..." Her voice grew soft admitting this, then the shaking in her voice started again.

Tiana world seemed to stop again..stab?! They stabbed her in the back of the head?! Was that why she had such a painful headache?! God, these people were sick. They beat her James senseless, then stabbed her in the back of the head. Why?! What did she and her family ever do to them?! Last time she re-called...nothing! She barely knew them for pete's sake! Ugh! And here they are beating her family..God if she ever got her hands on them one more time..

"M-ama..after that these women cleaned James up and took him in a separate r-room with grandmama. They t-touch grandmama because of some r-rule they had...I don't know what happened to them a-after t-that..I'm sorry" Jazzy said pulling Tiana out of her thoughts.

"It's okay Jazzy..it wasn't your fault..continue. Please?" Tiana said in the most calmest and gentlest voice she could muster.

"Well..t-they did bad things to m-me. They beat m-me too. Everyday..they beat me. They didn't touch y-you 'ca-cause you were in some hospital p-place" Jazzy said her voice cracking at parts. 'Jazzy too?' Tiana thought with a distressed look on her face. She started feeling guilty for shouting at her when she went into hysterics. Everyday they beat her that must of been so painful..wait everyday?! That meant they were here longer than a day.

"Wait..Jazzy how long have we been here?!" Tiana asked worried.

"A-A month I-I think..we just got put in here a week ago" Jazzy stuttered.

"A month!" Tiana screamed. They've been in here for a month?! Why was she now waking up?! Was she in a coma or something!? What has been going on? Isn't anyone looking for them?! Yeah right...who would look for them? God..was this it? They had already been here for a month, how did she know they weren't going to be here for the rest of their life?! Enduring the same physical and mental torture everyday 'till they died of the pain. God, she was starting to really hate her life.

"T-they tried to drug me so I would forget b-but they didn't..I don't know why...but.. t-that's what they did with you" Jazzy told her very scared, even though Tiana would never admit it, mother.

No wonder. They drugged her. Did they drug James and Eudora? If they did, did any of them start to remember again? What were they doing? How were they? Why didn't they drug Jazzy? So many questions, so little answers. Tiana couldn't take this. She had to get out, she had to save her family. That was her job as a mother and if she couldn't do that well then she obviously failed as mother.

Tiana was going to say sorry and tell Jazzy this was not her fault at all and that she was going to find a way for them to escape, but before she could do that a bright burst of light erupted in the room and out stepped a man named..

Rafael.
