Ember looked out the window. She finished lighting candles. It was only raining outside, but one could never know if a storm will come... though the weather guy said it was only going to be rain. The autistic girl hated storms, she walked over seeing her phone was plugged in.
Walking to the kitchen, she made a glass of wine. She wished someone was here to keep her company. Her sister, Rey would come over with her boyfriend Finn. They'd bring food, and games to help her threw the storm. But they were in witness protection.
She wasn't told what They did to get there. She wanted to go with them, hell, to even visit but that was refused. So, she tried to follow them but never made it very far till they caught on and she was lead back home by an officer.
So, Ember was all alone for this one.
She will drink and watch videos to block the sounds out. But... something didn't feel right. Something was amiss. She heard something crash. So, she looked around. "Momo?" She called for her kitten.
"Did you knock something over again?" She called. She walked around and saw that Momo was asleep. She smiled and stroked the kitten. Momo was a four month old tortie kitten. She was outside when Ember found her. She was crying pitifully at a few days old.
Ember brought her up. Getting up every few hours to feed her. Now she was a healthy baby. Lively, full of that famous tortie attitude, and a huge mama's girl.
Leaving the kitten, seeing it wasn't her, Ember grabbed her bat to make sure that if anyone was around, she was safe. She walked back out into the living room to go and check things. She saw that her screen door was slightly opened.
Her eyes widened. That's when she felt it. Someone was in the house. She needed to call the police. But before she could get to her phone, strong arms wrapped around her, and a large hand went over her mouth.
Her heart raced. Tears filled her eyes.
That's when she felt something cold and sharp against her throat. She whimpered as tears fell. it was a knife. "You aren't going to scream if I let go will you." It wasn't a question, it was a threat. The knife at her throat brought that out more.
The voice was a bit robotic, but she knew it was male.
She nodded. She gasped as he let go of her face. He had been blocking her mouth and nose so she wasn't able to breathe much.
She squeezed her eyes shut as the intruder kept the knife at her throat. "What do you want? Money?" She asked weakly. She was scared and she didn't want to accidentally cut herself with the knife.
"I'm here for information on two people you know. Finn and Rey. I understand you are Rey's sister. Where are they?" The stranger asked. Ember, though told that she wasn't able to know why the two were in witness protection, she was told that she couldn't tell anyone where they were as someone was trying to kill them.
She was offered to go with them, but Ember had a life, she was an innocent with no knowledge. So, she refused.
"I don't know where they are. And even if I did. I wouldn't tell you." She told him trying to sound brave. She felt some pressure in her skull making her whine in pain. Something told her to put a wall up in herm ind. So she did. And fought to keep it up.
An angry growl came from the man behind her, holding her at knife point.
"You have a strong mind little girl." He told her. He dragged her to her kitchen. He removed the knife from her throat, and slammed her onto the kitchen counter, making her cry out in pain. "You better tell me where they are. I don't want to hurt that pretty face. But I will." He told her.
She shook her head no the best she could.
She refused to tell him where her sister or her boyfriend were hiding. She couldn't risk their safety.
"I told you. I don't know where they are. They always made sure I didn't know." She told him struggling. "You know something. I will get it out of you." He told her. He tossed her off the counter and into the fridge.
She grunted and fell down. She could hear the yowls of her kitten. She couldn't see her but she didn't have a chance to look as he punched her. She fell to the ground fully.
He went and knelt down in front of her. He grabbed her hand. "You want to tell me?" He asked as he looked at her soft pale hand. She shook her head. "I don't know anything. I only saw them once. They wanted me to stay with them." She told him
He sighed and shook his head. He took her finger and broke the top joint of her finger, making her scream in pain. "I will keep breaking until you tell me." He told her. He then snapped more.
He kept going, but then put them back into place. But when she spat in his face, he stomped onto her arm. Breaking it fully. She laid there suffering in pain. Her throat was dry and over used from her screaming. Her eyes watery from her sobbing.
He stood and started doing something, before kneeling back down to her.
She looked over at him. Her vision blurry cause of everything happening to her. She watched his blurry form lift his hands and take his helmet off.
"You are a strong one." It wasn't a compliment. He was pissed.
He grabbed her by the hair and yanked her head to the side and injected her with something. Knocking her out. She tried to fight it, but wasn't able to. She passed out.
When she came to... She was comfy... She was warm.
"Welcome back to the land of the living princess." He purred as her eyes weakly opened. Her vision still blurry. Her body weak, and limp.
She felt someone stroking her head. She mumbled and tried to move. But she was so comfy. So weak. She wanted to sleep. She moved her hand and realized she was laying against the man who tortured her. Her hand on his leg.
"I have never done this before. But let's try something new." He told her. His deep voice was soothing to her. She closed her eyes. He squeezed her chin. "Stay awake pet. Answer me, and you will be able to sleep. Where are Finn and Rey?" He asked her.
"Finn and Rey? Why do you want to know?" She asked confused. "Just answer me pet." He told her as he went back to petting her head. She found her body melting under his touch. Normally she wouldn't like this. But now she was melting.
"I don't know about where they are. I tried to follow them. But they found out and I was lead back home. The last thing I remember was that there was a flower shop. May Flowers I think. But I can't remember where. Please... I wanna go to sleep. Where's my Momo?" She asked wanting her fur baby.
"I can't sleep during the rain without her. I get scared." She told him. She was just vomiting out information without realizing it.
"And because they are gone. I'm all alone. I hate being alone." She started crying. All these emotions pouring out of her. She wanted affection. She was so lonely. She just wanted love and missed being home with Rey. But when she moved in with Finn, Ember was lonely.
"Good girl." He told her, and moved her up and got out from under her. He then laid her down, tucking her in. She grabbed his wrist. "Please don't leave me too. You can cuddle with Momo too. She likes her cheeks scratched." She begged him, trying to tempt him with cuddles with her kitten. Without the drugs she would have been fighting him.
She was so lonely and drugged.
He looked at her and kissed her head.
"You don't want me here with you pet." He chuckled a little bit. "And neither does your kitten. Get some sleep." He told her and freed his wrist. He rubbed her head until it all went dark again and she was asleep once more.
