2 more chapter after this one. Thanks for the comments guys!

When I woke up, I was in a different room. It was so cold in there, I could literally see my breath. I began to rub my head because it hurt like hell. When I looked around the room to see if I could spot Ashley, I see Ashley is nowhere in sight. So, I got worried.

"Ashley!"

I shouted out loud, still rubbing my head like no other.

"Ashley are you here?"

I shouted out again. I stood up a little wobbly, and started to look around this new room that I'm in for any signs of Ashley.

"Ashley"

I shouted out once more hoping to get some type of sound, than I got an answer.

" Spencer I'm over here,"

she shouted back at me.

"Where?"

I shouted at her.

"By the door,"

she said, I began looking for the door she was speaking of. Than I found it. When I saw her my heart stopped in my throat. She looked really bad. She had cuts all over her face and arms, while sporting a black eye. I took in her face. She had a cut on her lip causing it to puff up and become discolored. I had to stop myself from looking. I began to sob like a baby after looking at my Ashley, bruised and battered like that.

"Hey, Spence…you know its not that bad."

When she said that I just went down and hugged her tight, but not to tight for fear of hurting her.. I cried into her shoulder. I cried for our innocence lost. I cried for her. I cried for me. I cried for us. I began to wish this never happened. Ashley looked at me, and must have seen the turmoil I was in.

"Ever thing is just so fucked up right now,"

I said in to her shoulder

"I know. But look at the bright side. Where here together,"

she said holding onto my hand. I took my head off of her shoulder and looked deep into her eyes

" Yea, your right."

I smiled at her, and than smiled even wider when she smiled back. That's what I like about her, she likes to make everything better. Even, if everything is so fucked up. Like right now. I can feel her looking at me. So I looked at her, and she moved her head like I didn't notice she was staring. I just smiled at her letting her know I saw her, and watched as her cheeks turned all red on me. I kissed her on the cheek because of the cut on her lip; that made her blush even more.

I put my hand on her leg, and began to slowly shift it up. She closed her eyes and fell back against me while letting out a moan. That's when we heard footsteps approach. Footsteps? Both of are heads whipped to the right as we see three different guys walk in.

"Who are you?" Ashley said with a tremble in her voice. Than, walking out behind the three men, is the man who is torturing us. However, he is wearing a mask that only shows his eyes and mouth. I got scared and started to shake. Ashley grabbed on to my hand, and whispered softly to me words I wish were true…

"Its okay."

One of the guys was taller than the rest. He had brown hair and blue eyes, and the biggest lips I have ever seen. The one to the right was kind of short with blond hair and green eyes. Now, the guy on the left was not short, but wasn't tall either. This guy had red hair with brown eyes. I take a closer look at him, and see he has a leash in his hand. The guy with the mask suddenly points to me, and I begin to feel my heart pound in my ears.

"That's the one you want,"

he says pointing to me. I can almost see the sadistic smile on his face. Ashley holds on to my waist tightly, refusing to let go, while I have my arms secured around her neck. Suddenly, the tall guy says,

"Hey Joe. I think blond has a girlfriend."

The short one than replied,

"Yea, I think she does, Jake."

Jake than came up to Ashley and grabbed her savagely by the hair, and dragged her out of the room.

Ashley started to cry and let out a very loud scream. Joe than turned around and cracked Ashley across the mouth,

"Shut up you stupid slut!"

Than, I heard silence, and soon I could not see her anymore. Jake came to me putting the leash around my neck ,and started to walk away with me attached to the leash in his hand. I started to choke from the pressure being applied to my neck. He noticed this and started walking quicker, making the leash almost cut of my oxygen. He turned to his left and took me into a different room where he tied me up.

So, here I am. Hanging on the wall with my legs duck tapped together. He than took the dog leash and wrapped it around my neck again, choking me with all his strength. I couldn't breath even though I tried to gasp for air. In a distance, I heard Ashley starting to scream at top of her lungs. As, I feel myself slowly dying as the dog leash got tighter, all I could think about before the darkness comes over me is…What are they doing to my Ashley. I start to feel my lungs burning for much needed air, and than nothing. All I see before my eyes slam shut is darkness.

When I woke up, I was tied to a hospital bed. For some reason, right than, I felt like I was safe. Like nothing could happen to me. But that was short lived when I turned my head to the right to see a dead body. It was some little girl. She had her throat all cut up and sliced open like a Thanksgiving Day turkey. I begin to panic, but than I see Ashley on the bed across from me. I don't know if she is alive or not. I feel myself about to pass out again, but than the door opens up. It's the man in the mask. Our tormentor. I look down, and in his hand is a gun, and all I can think about is how my life is going to end before it even had the chance to begin.
