WORSE THAN HELL

My eyes stayed closed as my head hung from the wooden post in the most comfortable way I figured out. It pushed against my throat, making it difficult to breathe. I couldn’t feel my arms or my legs anymore, hadn’t for a while, even though I knew they could move. My body was asleep, but my mind wasn’t.

THIS IS HELL

Uncle’s cell wasn’t this bad. Even though I had little time of freedom, I hated Liya for talking me into leaving the cell. I hated that I agreed to it; I left a cell to get into something much worse. I was fed, but I was abused. I could hear a man walking down the steps, and I braced myself for a hi, but nothing came. I could feel a warm, rough finger slowly touch my back, careful not to touch the wounds that were now covering my skin like a second skin. The bite marks the men have given me that burned like the sun.

The man’s finger slowly moved to my shoulder and then to my cheek, “I’m so sorry this happened to you”. A male’s voice said. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see a young man squatting in front of me. He frowned as he offered me a piece of bread, which I quickly took a bite out of. He pushed my hair out of my face and cupped my cheek in his hand, “I want to take you away, but they will kill me if I do that. I’m only an omega, please forgive me.

I knew that they would kill him if he released me; I was their toy. And I didn’t blame the man as I looked at him with sad eyes. His green eyes glossed over as he held a frown. “I’m Cameron”. He said and offered a small smile. I opened my mouth and then stopped once I felt the welts against the side of my mouth. “You don’t have to speak,” he said and lifted a glass of water towards my mouth. He placed the straw between my lips and smiled.

Cameron slowly placed a finger on my face and wiped the tear away. When I looked at him, I could see his tears threatening to fall. “The Alpha will be back tomorrow morning. That means, tonight will be the night they kill you”. He said in a low voice. He slowly cleared his throat and lifted his hand, “Do you have anyone I can tell that I saw you were marked?”. He said as he looked at the mark Rick had given me. I quickly shook my head even though it hurt.

Cameron looked at me, confused for a moment, but nodded as he then fed me the rest of the bread. Before he left, he turned towards me and whispered, “I can bring you a tranquilizer. You won’t feel the pain, and you might survive tonight”. He said and looked at me, “You won’t know what is going on”. He said and raised an eyebrow. I only offered a small smile and shook my head.

In a sick way, I wanted to feel the pain. I wanted to feel when I was given the release of death. I wanted this to be over, I closed my eyes and allowed my body to get the small bit of rest as it could before the othecameome.

It didn’t take long until I heard footsteps and low talking, “Tonight we will be saying our goodbye to our lovely rogue slut”. Jack’s voice rang as he grabbed a fist full of my hair and lifted my head so I could see his brown eyes, “Hi princess”. He said and walked towards my back and smacked my ass, his hand lingered on my backside as he rubbed the area he had just smacked as he started to speak, “Before we continue, you know the rules, you must unmark her. Keeping your mark on her can lead to her death back to you”. Jack said as he walked behind me.

I could feel his hands on my naked body as his breath slowly fell on my skin. My body squirmed under him in fright as I watched a man walk beside him. Then I felt his teeth dig into a wound, and I let out a cry as I felt an icy burn fill my body. My heart spiked as if the man was trying to suck the beats out of my heart. If I had a soul, he had just gotten a taste of it. My heart raced as I watched two more men walk towards me. 

Each man’s mark had the same reaction. My body was covered in sweat, and my chest was aching as my heart tried to calm its racing. I couldn’t help but scream each time they dug their teeth into my skin and latched onto my muscles; the sucking of the wound made things harder as I tried my hardest to stay silent. My breathing quickened as I leaned against the post and allowed my tears to fall freely. Jack walked towards me and smacked my cheek as hard as he could. 

“We aren’t done yet”. He growled and grabbed my chin. I only shook my head as I looked away from his body. I could hear the pants and clothes shuffle off of some men around me as I closed my eyes. Not again, not this. I started to smack my head off the wooden post, trying to end everything,g, as Jack grabbed my hair and positioned my head for him.

Hours and hours of pain, of men greedily fighting over who would be next. The wooden post now dropped, placing me on my knees. Pain filled my legs and my stomach as I looked to see Cameron standing in the shadows. I mouthed the word, ‘I’m okay’ to him. I could taste vomit in my mouth as I looked at Jack as he stood in front of me. In his hand, a silver whip. He smirked as he brought it back and smacked it against my body. I let out a scream as I shook my head.

He whipped me three more times before handing it to another man. I looked at Cameron’s sad eyes as everything around me turned black.

The pain started to numb me after a moment as I continued to hear the musicandd everything started to fade away. I was ready to let go. I was ready to be free. I was ready to see my mother again. I welcomed the warmth with Liya as we walked through the darkness together.
