Chapter 8

"You need to tell me more about you," I began, "we had an agreement, Kitty, and you're not sticking to it."

She blinked as she looked at me with a hard exterior, "what do you want to know, Prisoner VII?" 

I know she didn't have much of a good life and I wanted to ask about it but I also know that she won't tell me, so I'll just ask about other things that can somehow get her to open up a bit more. I was still waiting for Axwell to give me the information on her but I don't know if I can stay in here any longer, honestly. 

Carter was making my life a living hell and he wasn't lying when he said he was going to scar me. The man was here every morning, he and his two personal guards would come into the room, pour a bucket of ice cold water over me and then when I jumped up from my sleep with a shocking start, they'd grab me and just beat me with batons until I bled. 

I was bruised all over and I don't think I can even open my right eye right now as I looked at Kitty. My back was bruised and I was bleeding from my head. My bottom lip was completely busted and I couldn't walk straight so I was always limping.

I'm just tired of being beaten for no reason. 

I felt like I was going to drop dead any moment, I couldn't keep my left eye open no matter how much I tried as I looked at Kitty and she tilted her head at me as I let out painful breaths unable to move because I think they broke my ribs from all the painful hits and kicks. 

Was all this worth it for a woman I knew nothing about? I mean, love really does something to someone but I can already see our life together. I can see her besides me, being my wife and having just as much power as me. Oh we would rule, and we would do it perfectly; the parties, the fucking, the drugs and billion dollar homes. 

I can see no better life. With me, she won't have to work because all she'll have to work on is me. She won't have to do anything and she won't have to sit all day and listen to men's stories and then be the subject of their dirty disgusting minds. She won't have to raise a finger, she won't have to work, she can just be my lover, my wife and bear me the most beautiful children that'll look just like her and I. 

I heard a buzzing noise in my ear before it began to ring and I blinked my eye, trying to see as the room began to spin before it got too much for me and I just closed my eyes, passing out. 

~~~

Wet...I felt something wet yet warm on my forehead and something cold on my right eye. I groaned at the pain that shot through my entire body. Starting from the back of my head where my head was laid on a soft surface but anything touching the back of my head, hurt insanely. Then my ribs, because with each breath it felt like I was one step closer to my death. The next pain was behind my knees and that was the worst honestly because I couldn't even walk at all with those bruises there. 

I slowly opened my left eye and blinked. There was a bright white light right above me and I hissed before closing my eye shut and then opened it again. This time the bright light was turned off and I was met with a ceiling with the sun coming through the windows and I smiled at the sight. I don't remember the last time I've felt the sun on my skin. 

But where was I? 

I wanted to turn my head to look around, "don't," I heard and I frowned as I tried to think about who it could be. 

"If you move your head, you'll only do more damage than good," Kitty?

"Kitty?" I asked, my voice rough and hoarse as I tried to clear it but then I felt myself being supported up as I was handed a glass of water. 

It was one of the red boots holding me up and the hand handing me the glass belonged to Kitty. I wanted to do nothing more than make some absurd comment but I kept quiet as I reached for the glass of water and drank from it. I finished the whole thing in two gulps as I handed the glass to the red boot guard instead and instead of saying anything he just placed a couple of pillows underneath me to help me stay in this position before he took my glass. 

I noticed that we were in a small room, it looked like a hospital room but really tiny that it could only fit a few people. Like five maximum. 

The red boot guard left with the glass and it was just Kitty and I. Now again, I say, that if I could move and I wasn't so hurt, I honestly would've taken full advantage of this situation and well, let's just say when that guard came back he would've walked in on something great. 

"I don't know what game you're playing at, Prisoner VII," Kitty began as she crossed her arms over her chest and I looked at her chest, her breasts were fully covered but I could still see that they were probably very large...oh yes...I looked back into her brown eyes, "I shouldn't be saying this but you're really hurt." 

I raised an eyebrow and smiled but hissed when I did so because my lips were totally busted. I attempted to lick them and tasted something bitter on them, must've been medicine."Kitty, tell me something I don't know." 

"Why are you still here?" She asked suddenly and I attempted to shrug but I didn't have the strength. 

"Because of you." 

She exhaled loudly, "I shouldn't be doing this-" 

"Aww, you care about me?" 

"But you need to get out of here and you need to do it fast. Carter, Carter wants to kill you and he's going to do it very soon," she warned and this time even though my lips hurt I still smiled wide. She cares! "I don't know what you did to him but he's very angry and he wants you to die as soon as possible. I think he's going to do it today while you're here, so heed my warning and leave." 

"If I didn't know any better I would think you care, Kitty..." I said and she gave me the same straight face. 

"No one's guarding the place for the next three hours, if you can't leave now, you'll never be able to leave and you'll die here, prisoner, good luck," she said as she turned on her heels and walked to the door. 

"Kitty, wait," I stopped her and she stopped walking but she didn't turn around, "I'll leave but I need one thing from you," I paused, "your name, please?" 

She turned her head and looked at me with a side eye, "why?"

"I'm dying here." 

"You know my name." 

I shook my head, "Kitty isn't your name and y-" 

"You've said my real name before," she said, "you just never realised."

And then she left. When she did, I quickly buried my hand into my underwear praying that my phone was still there and when I felt it, I almost cried as I pulled it out. I anxiously looked at the door as I unlocked the phone and found Axwell's contact, calling him. 

I've said her name before...? I don't remember much. Okay, let's see... wait, I remember on our second appointment when I was leaving...Beauty! Her name's Beauty! 

Beauty...I smiled at the thought, the name really does suit her because she really is a Beauty. I hid the phone away after speaking to Axwell, choosing to lay back and wait because the guards would come in and lead me out to where Axwell will be waiting for me. And honestly, I was more excited to find out what he found out about Kitty than actually getting out of here. 

But first I had some very important business to take care of, because Carter's name was at the top of the list.
