The confrontation was intended but it was inevitable. Silence would have rained supreme if not for Mrs Smith's soft sobs. But there noise had brought unwanted attention. Many men walked towards them, their steps sharp on the cold stone floor. This can't be good. She thought anxiously. The cell doors were opened and they were asked to walk out. They're asking, that's odd.
As she walked out Mrs Smith tried to reach the girls but they jumped backed and ran to Devon. Not out of fear but simply out of hate. Her crying began again.
"You will pay for this. I will kill you." Her father threatened.
For the first time in her life, their father threatened her openly. And for the first time as well, she wasn't scared neither was she angry, she just felt cold. A cold that seemed to freeze her heart, her conscious.
"If you even try that, I WILL Kill you first." Her voice was so cold and frightening that her parents felt terror in them. Even the men felt a bit uneasy, some more than others.
"Move your family drama along. We don't have time for this." A voice boomed and they were led out of the place, their parents first. They were then separated,the three went to the right of the two corridors while the parents were taken to the left. They tried protesting but failed terribly. They were weak and out numbered.
The girls didn't seem bothered in the least. They didn't want anything to do with them, they had each other. But where they were being taken wasn't that pleasant either. They moved quietly until they reached a bit metallic rusted door. It was opened and everything was covered with clear plastic paper.
"What is this?" Maddie wondered fearfully. They were just shoved towards the center of the room, where a seat like the one used by dentists stood. Next to it were a few machines and gadgets she had never seen before.
"Take a seat." Another man ordered sternly.
The young girls looked up at Devon, she sighed before taking the seat . They strapped her legs and wrists with leather straps. She didn't seem scares, she didn't even seem unfazed. The men looked at her confused,her calm slow gaze wasn't really usual for someone in this kind of situation.
After being strapped in ,she saw a weird gadget near her skin, as if checking her pulse or something. They mumbled something to each other and they seemed to agree on something. Then a needle was brought out and pierced her vein but she still seemed unfazed. When the blood started being drained out of her is when her expression shifted slightly. It hurt,it hurt badly and it made her weak.
She didn't want her sisters to see how awful she really felt. She just closed her eyes and took deep slow breath. It was slow,the pain coursing through her veins and making her body weak. She felt dizzy,her breathing became faint and she was almost gasping for air when it stop. It felt as if they had drained all her energy as she could not support herself as a headache ensued.
One man put her hand over his shoulder, his grip strong on her waist to support her. She could barely stand, so she leaned limply on the man overworked muscles. They signalled another to be brought.
"Bring the other one over" A voice directed. Devon's head shot up as she glared at the man who had drained her of her blood.
"They're too young, they won't be able to stand it." She reprimanded worriedly.
They were stunned, not by her words but her strength. They had initially measured her blood count to know how much to draw from her, enough to weaken but not to kill. Most of the one's captured usually passed out during the process or immediately after. Only a handful still remained conscious after losing that much blood.
"You're quite strong," the man began moving closer to her and gripping her chin hard "but we don't take orders from you. Bring her here!" With that Maddie was pushed forward.
She couldn't bare seeing Maddie in pain. She passed out halfway and once it was done,it was Annah's turn. She bite her lip and made a fist in anger as she heard her screaming and crying for them to stop. She couldn't bare to watch, but she also couldn't close her ears. Once it was all over, she was still conscious. They dragged their weak limp bodies away. She noticed they weren't taking her to the same cell. She just watched as they maneuvered through corridors and corners. Then she saw she was alone at all.
There were many numerous cells each containing more than one captive but at most four. They looked sickly, weak,malnutritioned and hopeless. She fell into despair. Was this the way they would turn out too if they continued staying here? This scene had fermented her resolve to escape,if it even possible. They were led to a cell with only one other person and locked in.
As the door shut,it shut with it some hope in her heart. She looked around,four beds,at least they were considerate enough, dirty walls, filthier floor and an awful and pungent smell. The other lay on the lower bed on the left side of the room. It was a male. From his looks he looked a little around her age or older with a small frame.
She dropped her gaze to her unconscious sisters lying on the floor right next to her. She sighed as she just sat there trying to regain a little bit of strength. After forty minutes or so she got to her knees weakly and wrapped Annah. She took a deep breath before lifting her up, getting to her feet and walking to the bed on the right. She almost collapsed trying to get to her feet but walking was a whole other problem.
Taking one step caused writhing pain to course through her entire being. It was ruthless, merciless and she was helpless in it's wrath but she pushed through. It was only four steps. But was the most painful four steps of her life. She realized that she hadn't walked here, the man had done all the work of moving her effortlessly.
Once she got next to the bed,she laid her there gently before collapsing to the ground. She fell face first but tried cushioning her fall with her hands but failed miserably. Her hands refused to move and she faced the full force of the fall bruising her cheek. She just lay there. Her body couldn't handle moving let alone carrying Maddie.
She just lay there defeated. She swore she would take revenge on every single one of those god forsaken bastards.
