Chapter 4: No One's Cinderella.
Ally was thrown back into the wooden chair, handcuffs were latched around her wrist and hooked onto the arms of the chair. She arched her back in discomfort and her ankle was screaming out in pain. The blindfold was ripped away from her eyes and Ally took in the sight of the cold room. The walls were black and filled with mold, the strong smell of rotting flesh filled her sinuses and she saw the dead creeper chained to the wall. The man who grabbed her from the farm appeared in front of her, a pair of knuckledusters in his hands. He swung his fist towards her face and the hard metal connected with her face, her head shot back from the force and blood poured into her mouth, he punched her again and again, until a held back whimper escaped her lips.
"Now, sweetheart I'd like to ask you some question's, and if you lie I'll know," He came face to face with her and Ally glared at him and spat the blood out of her mouth.
"What do you want to know," She hissed.
"What's your name?"
"Ally Dawson," She replied and he smiled.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-one," She answered and his smile grew bigger.
"Have you had sex before?"
Ally's eyes widened and his moist breath crawled over her skin. "Y-Yes."
"Good, then you're fit for the breeding programme," He smirked.
"Breeding programme, what the hell is that meant to mean," She spat and he looked her up and down, licking his lips.
"You're fit enough to carry babies, so we'll get you started in a few minutes," He explained and she growled at him.
"The hell you won't. I'm not agreeing to any of this shit," She protested and he raised an eyebrow.
"You don't have a choice, bitch," Ally flung her leg up and kicked him hard in his privates, he collapsed to the ground, gripping at them. "You stupid bitch!" He yelled and Ally tried to pull her hand out of the handcuffs and they cut her wrists as she twisted them around.
"Where are my friends!" Ally shouted and he quickly recovered and got to his feet. He punched her again and blood flew from her mouth, Ally's head flopped forward and she fought to gain consciousness.
"They're all apart of the programme," He informed.
"You've taken a seven-year old girl, you're not making her apart of the programme," Ally spat and he smiled.
"We'll keep her until she's ready," He explained and Ally gritted her teeth.
"Our people will come for us," She retorted and Ally saw the fear wash over his face.
"W-What people," He stammered and it was Ally's turn to smile.
"You didn't just think there were only two males in our group...You did? Well what a shame, because there's six men who will be on their way to rescue us all any minute and I know they won't be happy," She laughed and he let out a scream and punched her one more time and everything went dark.
...
Austin placed the last box onto the truck bed and hurried around to the backseat and sat down. Elliot was sat in the driver's seat and he looked back and Austin gave him a nod and they drove off. They'd managed to find a lot of supplies on this run and they'd done it without any serious problems from the creepers. It had only taken a few hours to clear out all the shops and they were sorted for the summer. There was clothes and a lot of medical supplies, they even found a lot of baby formula to last them months, so they didn't need to worry about Lexi not having any food. They drove in silence for twenty minutes, but then Elliot decided to break it.
"I wonder how Ally's doing," Elliot said and Wayne looked at him from the passenger's seat.
"That girls got some strength in her, I defiantly thought she was going to lose her ankle. At least Austin was there to save the day," Wayne glanced back at Austin and he growled.
"She's annoying," Austin retorted and all the men laughed.
"I think she's got some balls, I'd never dream about calling you a jackass, especially after you shot me with your crossbow," Dean explained and Austin rolled his eyes.
"Whatever," He mumbled.
"You should try to talk to her," Kyle added and Austin frowned.
"I have better things to do with my time," He said, flatly and Kyle tutted.
"You really want people to hate you-"
"Holy shit!" Elliot exclaimed and he slammed his foot on the breaks and they all looked at the farm. It was empty, apart from George and Frederick who were sat on the porch steps, horror on their faces. They all ran out of the truck and Austin glanced at the grass to see Ally's crutches.
"Where is everyone?" Wayne asked and he pulled his sheriff's hat from his head and George broke out into tears and raced into Kyle's arms.
"It happened so fast," Frederick muttered.
"W-What happened?" Kyle stammered. "Where's my wife and daughter!"
"We were all going about doing normal things and then these men pulled up in cars and Ally went straight over to them, he was carrying a rifle and Ally asked him what he wanted and then he said he wanted all the females. I told him no and before I could do anything he'd hit Ally with his rifle and all the other men came running out of the vans and started to go after them all. The man picked Ally up and he threw her in the back of the van like she was a piece of trash and then they went after Sarah and I started shooting my gun, b-but there was one of me and too many of them and they took them all...They took all the girls, even Lexi and Lizzy," Frederick explained. Austin felt his blood begin to boil when he heard about Ally, he tried to ignore the vigorous effect it was having on him, but he couldn't.
"How dare these people just come up and take them all like that," Austin spat and Wayne threw his hat on the ground.
"We need to find them," Wayne growled and Dean looked around at the farm.
"H-How, we have no idea where they've taken them, they could be anywhere by now," Dean explained and Wayne ran a hand through his hair.
"I don't understand why they'd want all the girls," Elliot exclaimed and he paced around in circles.
"Because, they're pieces of shit, that's why. They obviously want them for some kind of sexual deed," Austin growled and he gripped his crossbow tight.
"How do you know that," Kyle snapped and Austin rolled his eyes.
"They turned up and took all our woman. They're hardly going to take them for a nice chat, with some cups of tea and some biscuits!" Austin yelled and Kyle gritted his teeth.
"We need to find them now. They aren't laying a finger on my wife and daughter," Kyle held his son tighter.
"Dad, I tried to stop them, but there was too many of them," George whimpered.
"It's okay son," Kyle patted his head and Wayne rubbed his face, pacing around trying to think of an idea.
"At least we know there safe," Dez said and Austin laughed.
"Now, how did you come up with that genius idea," Austin sarcastically remarked.
"Ally's with them, she'll protect them," He retorted and he laughed.
"She got her ankle trapped in a bear trap. She can't even walk on it, how the hell is she meant to fight," Austin stated, venom tripping from his tone.
"We just need to think of a plan."
...
Ally was thrown onto the rusty bed and the man hovered by the bedside. Her wrists were tied together with rope and she'd been forced to change into a white dress, which was already ripped and covered into mud. The bandage around her ankle was long gone and she had to grit her teeth through the pain. The man didn't care about her ankle, he was clearly only interested in one thing. Ally watched as he looked her up and down licking his lips. He was much older than her and he was clearly desperate to have his way with her, but Ally would rather die before she let that happened. She wasn't going to get raped and she was going to get herself out of this and save everyone else.
"Hello beautiful," He spoke in a husky tone and he crawled up her body and came face to face with her. "How's my Cinderella doing?"
"I'm no one's Cinderella," Ally flashed him a smile and he frowned in confusion. Ally swung her tied hands and they connected with his jaw. He rolled off her body and Ally quickly grabbed the glass bottle from the bedside table and smashed it. She grabbed the piece of glass and pounced on the man, plunging the shard into his neck. Ally's eyes widened at the scene, which was playing out in front of her. She didn't feel like she was in control of her body, all she knew was that she needed to survive this and save all the people who had been nothing, but kind to her.
"Oh my god," Ally whimpered and she brought her hands to her mouth. She'd never killed a human before and she realized it was a completely different feeling to killing a creeper, because then you felt like you were putting the poor person out of its misery, but killing a human was a completely different story. Ally's eyes widened and she remembered he was going to turn into a creeper soon and she needed to get herself out of there. She grabbed another glass shard and began to work it against the rope. She kept glancing back at the man to see if he'd turned yet, but lucky he was taking his time to turn into a creeper and Ally managed to get herself free from the rope.
Ally looked down at her ankle and bit down on her lips. Just fight through the pain, you need to fight through the pain. Ally quickly grabbed the gun and knife from the mans belt and she stabbed the knife into his skull, ending his life as a creeper, before it had even begun. She stumbled onto her feet and she dragged her bad ankle behind her, wincing in pain with every step she took. Ally opened the bedroom door and looked down the hallway and saw it was empty. She silently made her way down, holding the gun at arm's length. She knew she didn't have a good aim, but at least she had something to protect herself with, it was better than nothing. She stopped at the end of the hallway and poked her head around the corner and saw it was empty and the front door was in her sights. She hobbled over and opened the door a little, peeping through the gap with her eye. They were on a street, but Ally knew that in all the houses were other women. There were other women being impregnated by this filthy human beings.
Ally stepped out onto the porch and scanned the area. The woods were on the other side of the street, making it obvious to Ally how they were going to escape when she'd found them all. She stumbled down the steps and she hissed in pain, her eyes clenched shut and then she shook it off and carried on walking. She came to the sidewalk and glanced around the street. She made her way over to the house on the right and she walked up the front yard and she looked through the windows of the house and saw the lights were on.
Ally pulled open the front door and stepped inside. She could hear muffled voices coming from a room down the hallway and she gripped the gun and knife tightly. She stopped outside the door the voices were coming from and she recognized the voice. Harriet.
Ally flung open the door and she saw Harriet being pinned down on the bed by a man around her age. His eyes widened when he saw her.
"Lights out motherfucker," Ally fired her first shot and it pierced straight through his head and his body collapsed on top of Harriet's.
...
They'd all been following the tire tracks on the dirt road and it seemed to go on forever. The heat was getting to them, but none of them wanted to give in, not until they'd found them. Austin was leading them all, since tracking was in his area of expertise and he was on high alert for any signs of them. George was clinging onto his dad, breaking out into fits of tears, scared that he might not see his mom and sister again. Kyle was the one on edge the most and no one could blame him, the sick people who took the woman, had his wife and daughter. Austin couldn't begin to imagine what that felt like, he'd never really cared about anyone, too actually care that they were gone.
"We just need to hope that they can handle themselves until we find them," Wayne said and he kicked at the dirt. Austin knew he was pissed off, because he knew that being the leader of the group, he should be there to protect them, only this time he wasn't. Austin also knew that it was because Harriet was gone, he could read people like an open book and he knew that Wayne liked Harriet a lot. Austin was more of an observer, then a talker.
"I hope Trish is okay," Dez muttered and Frederick patted his back.
"That girls a wildcat, she probably would've talked them to death by now," Frederick joked and Dez smiled.
"Yeah, she probably would've," Dez shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at the road ahead.
"Will Lizzy be okay?" George asked and Kyle glanced at him.
"I'm sure Harriet's keeping her safe, there's no need to worry," Kyle assured his son, but deep down in his gut, he wasn't so sure himself.
Up ahead they could see a black van. They all raced over and began to inspect it. There was a man lying on the ground next to it, blood coming from his head and another man lay by the wheels with a bullet wound to his head.
"Wait," Dean snapped and they all stopped to see he was crouching down in the grass, holding something in his hands. "It's Sarah's necklace," Frederick raced over and glanced down at the necklace and nodded.
"That's her necklace," He confirmed and Austin scanned the woods.
"They must've gone in there," Austin said and they all looked at the tree's.
"Help!" A voice screeched and they all quickly took off into the woods. "Help!" More voices joined in and they ran as fast as they could. Austin quickly loaded up his crossbow and got it ready and they came to a small clearing and they saw Sarah, Lizzy, Julie and Lexi. A creeper was hobbling towards them and Austin took it out with one bolt and they all looked over at them. Julie raced into Kyle's arms and the whole family collapsed to the ground embracing one another. Sarah ran over to Frederick and hugged him tight. Lizzy stood still, tears pouring down her face and George walked over and hugged her.
"What happened?" Wayne asked and Sarah pulled herself away from her dad.
"They put us all in a van together, and when we were driving they began to talk about a breeding programme and how we were all going to be apart of it. T-Then one of them said they were jealous of someone called Lenny, who'd get to tap that piece of ass with the injured foot and I'm guessing he means Ally and that was when the van slowed down and it ran out of gas. We all quickly opened up the back and ran out, but one of the men grabbed me and took me to the ground, he pulled my necklace from my neck and I quickly grabbed a rock and smashed it against his head and then Julie grabbed the gun from his belt and shot the other man in the head and then we took off into the woods," Sarah explained and Wayne sighed.
"They still have the others?" He asked and Sarah nodded.
"W-What do they mean by breeding programme?" Lizzy stuttered and Austin stared at Wayne.
"They're trying to get them pregnant," Austin growled. "We need to hurry up and find them," Austin tried to ignore what Sarah said about some man called Lenny and how he'd get Ally. These people a sick. Austin still couldn't ignore the anger that was building up inside of him, he'd dealt with many twisted people in his life, but not people this bad.
"We need to head back to the truck, maybe they'll have something there which will tell us where we need to go," Wayne explained and they all nodded.
They made their way back to the truck and began to look inside. Dez pulled out a map from under the seat and opened it up to find a location circled on it. He called everyone over and he looked at the street sign to see where they were now and realized they just need to carry on up the road until they came to a small town, which is where they should be. Wayne nodded his head and Kyle stepped forward.
"We're going to head back, I trust you lot will bring them back, but I don't want to put Lexi and Julie in anymore danger," Kyle explained and Wayne smiled at him.
"You lot go back to the farm, we'll bring them all back," He assured them and Kyle and his family walked off and Frederick, Sarah and Lizzy followed, leaving Austin, Wayne, Dez, Elliot and Dean behind.
"Let's go save them," Dean announced and they all headed along the dirt road.
...
Things hadn't gone to plan. Ally felt useless and she felt like she'd let them all down. She'd managed to save Harriet from the man, but then the leader appeared and took Ally away. He'd dragged her down the street, not even caring about her cries of pain, because her ankle was pouring out with blood. Ally's face was beaten and bruised thanks to him and his knuckledusters and she knew she was in for another load of pain if she didn't get away from him. Ally had managed to slip Harriet the gun and knife, telling her to go save them all, before he'd turned up and got her. The man's dark brown hair was a sweated mess and Ally could hear his growls escaping his lips. She knew she'd pissed him off and she knew she was about to pay for it.
"Stupid bitch, you think it's okay to kill two of my men. You're in for a world of pain," He latched his arm around her waist and held his gun to her head. He continued to pull her through the deserted town and she screamed out in pain.
"Why are you doing this," She squirmed in his hold, but he only tightened his grip on her.
"The world needs to repopulate somehow," He spat and she continued to kick against him.
"So, you're going around, kidnapping woman, just to repopulate the world. What benefit does that have towards you?" She questioned and he paused throwing her up against the metal shutters of one of the shops. Ally's head smashed up against it and she went to fall to the ground, but he grabbed her around the neck and slammed her back up against the shutters.
"It means that I get all the sex I want," He whispered and Ally shivered, his tone cold and chilling. "I have every right to pop a cap in your god damn brain, but there's something about a woman who fights back, which turns me on."
"Fuck you," She spat back and he let go of her neck and threw her onto the road. Ally skidded along the concrete and she tried to get up, but he stomped his foot down on her ankle and she screamed out in agony. "Stop!" She screeched and he applied more pressure to her foot. "Please!"
"Beg," He smirked.
"Please," He applied more pressure and Ally shrieked. "Please, I beg you...Just stop please!"
"That's better," He moved hit foot off her ankle and Ally tried to sit up, but he straddled her waist and smiled down at her. "You and I are going to have a little fun," He began to undo his belt and Ally's eyes widened and she tried to move from underneath him, but he grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head. "The more you struggle, the longer it's going to take, no ones coming to save you."
...
They trekked along the dirt path and they came to the town. Austin had his crossbow loaded and everyone else had their guns aimed and ready to fire. The town looked deserted, the perfect disguise. They all walked further in and glanced around, trying to find any signs that they were here.
"Run!" The door to one of the houses flung open, breaking the silence and Harriet, Mary, Angela and Trish came running out the door and two men chased after them. Wayne shot both of them before they could make it off the porch. They ran over to them. Trish raced into Dez's arms and Harriet walked over and hugged Wayne.
"W-Where's Lizzy?" She stammered.
"She's back at the farm, she's safe. So are Julie, Lexi and Sarah," Wayne explained and Mary sighed in relief, glad that her sister was okay.
"Where's Ally?" Elliot asked and Harriet let out a sob.
"What happened?" Austin pushed and Harriet wiped her tears away.
"Well, I was in a room with this man and he was trying to force himself on me, yapping on about some stupid breeding programme and then the bedroom door opened and Ally was stood there with a gun and she shot him in the head. She'd been beaten bad, there was blood in her teeth and blood pouring out of cuts on her face. H-Her ankle looked horrific and she gave me the gun and knife and told me to rescue the others and before I could say anything the man in charge of this all, grabbed her. I decided to come and rescue everyone else and then I was going to go back for her," Harriet explained and then a shrill shriek echoed around.
"No!" Harriet's eyes widened and she let out a sob.
"T-That's Ally," They all took off in a run and followed the screams. Austin rounded the corner first and everyone froze behind him. Ally was being pinned to the ground by a man and he was holding her arms above her head, Austin saw that his belt buckle was undone and his eyes widened and he held up his crossbow and didn't even hesitate to fire it. The arrow went straight through his head and Ally let out a scream and pushed him off her. Everyone ran over and Ally began to cry rivers of tears and Harriet crouched down and held her.
"Ally, what happened?" Mary asked.
"He started dragging me down the street, saying I was going to pay for killing two of his men and then I started asking him about the breeding programme and he explained that he was only doing it so he could have all the sex he wanted. Then he pushed me to ground and he started crushing my ankle, telling me to beg him to stop and then when I did he started to undo his pants and he was going to r-rape me," Ally looked at the arrow through the mans skull and she glanced at Austin. "Thank you," She smiled up at him and Austin simply nodded his head.
"Let's leave this place," Elliot said and Ally stared down at her ankle.
"I-I can't walk," She whimpered and Austin placed his crossbow on his back and without Ally asking him to, he picked her up off the ground and walked off with her in his arms.
...
Austin kicked open the door to the farmhouse and carried Ally into the bedroom downstairs, he placed her down on the bed and he scratched the back of his head. She'd passed out whilst they were walking back and for a second he thought she'd just died in his arms, but after much conformation from Wayne, she was just fine. He didn't even know why he picked her up, he just felt like he had too. He wasn't always so cold, he could share the girl a bit of sympathy, since she'd just gotten attacked and almost raped in the middle of the road. He glanced down at her sleeping form and he sighed.
"Oh my," Frederick spoke from behind him and he walked over to her and he looked her over. "You're in really bad shape," He muttered and Frederick glanced at her ankle and he whistled.
"I'm going to go now," Austin replied and Frederick nodded his head and he left the bedroom and walked out of the farmhouse.
"You did good today," Wayne said, appearing at his side and they both walked over to the camp.
"It was nothing," He muttered and his hands unintentionally rested on his knife.
"Well, I don't think Ally's going to see it as nothing, you saved her life and I'm sure she's going to be internally grateful for that," Wayne explained and sat down on one of the chairs and Austin sat next to him. "You can be a good man sometimes."
"Not sure if I should take that as a compliment," Austin muttered and Wayne laughed.
"It's just nice to see your true colors shine through sometimes," He patted Austin on the back and then Wayne's eyes followed Harriet as she walked past the campfire.
"Dude, make your move," Austin laughed and began to play with one of his arrows.
"I wouldn't say she's interested in me," Wayne replied.
"That's where you'd be wrong," Austin retorted and Wayne's face lit up.
"Did she say something to you?"
"Wayne, have you ever seen me talk to her, I don't sit around and gossip with her and I kinda' feel like that's what we're doing right now and I'm getting creeped out by it," Austin explained and Wayne laughed.
"This is probably the most normal conversation I've had with you," Wayne got up from his chair and Austin rolled his eyes.
"Don't get used to it," Austin retorted and Wayne walked off, leaving Austin alone, just how he liked it.
He glanced back at the farmhouse and he sighed. Not matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop thinking about Ally, he couldn't help, but think if he wasn't there to kill that man, then what would've happened, would he have gone ahead and raped her, right there in the middle of the road or would he have killed her. But all in all, Austin couldn't ignore the voice inside his head, which was telling him he was glad he was able to save her, because he's not sure if he'd be able to live with it, if he hadn't.
