[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

He wasn’t checked up on for a while and he knew that it had been more than half an hour because the sun was now shining at full swing outside. He would say it was late morning or early afternoon. The whole time their sickening laughter had rung through the walls that confined him. Serenity was still up there, still being tormented. Their laughter was boisterous and there was a lot of shouting, but it was hard to make out what they were shouting. He sighed. He knew more than anything she didn’t deserve any of this. It was him they had initially come after. She had just been caught in the crossfire.
The laughter died down. That either meant that they were bringing her back now or that she wasn’t entertaining them enough anymore. The door slammed open. The leader stormed in and he was holding her around the stomach, pulling her along with him. Kaiba now knew why he hadn’t heard her - she was gagged. The hair on both sides of her face was wet with her tears and was sticking to her cheeks.
She was thrown to the floor by this sick, mad man. She landed on her hands and knees.
“I told you not to cry, bitch” With that said he kicked her in the stomach. She landed on her side clutching her stomach, breathing heavily and she was crying. Really and truly sobbing her heart out. He noticed that her hoodie had been taken off and she was wearing a floral print spaghetti top, which had a slight v- cut (to recap on what else she is wearing: a black mini skirt and black Eskimo boots that reached mid calf). The guy was holding her hoodie in the hand that hadn’t been holding her. He threw it down and picked her up.
“I’m sorry beautiful, but it is all your fault, you made me angry. I will forgive you”
All Serenity did was stare at him in horror. Kaiba himself was staring wide - eyed. He never knew that someone could be so...so demented.
“Now, now dry those tears.” He untied the gag and then put her down and handcuffed her to the chain again.
He left soon after, after giving Serenity a sickeningly long stare. He turned towards her after the door on top of the stairs had closed. She was turned away from him, her head bowed. As is she were ashamed. He noticed that her knees were grazed and slightly bleeding from when they had connected with the hard basement floor.
“What did they do to you” Kaiba whispered gently. He had to be careful with her. He didn’t know what they had done to her. Her mentality might be severely damaged. It could have been a traumatic experience - something she might not be able to handle. There was a moment of silence after he whispered those words. Then she started crying again. Her chest heaving with every heart-wrenching sob.
He could not see her face, she had turned her head away completely now and her hair had fallen in the way too.
He honestly didn’t know what to do or what to say to her. He hadn’t been in a situation like this ever before, of course. It’s not every day that you are kidnapped.
“You need to try and calm down” He said gently but firmly.
“Calm down?!” She screeched, turning to him. He was a bit taken aback. He could see the fear, the pain, the horror, the shock, etched into her face, her eyes... those hazel eyes.
“You have no idea what they did to me” she continued shouting “ and quite frankly I don’t want to talk about it especially not with you” the ‘you’ outlined with venom. She continued crying even harder. Then she surprised him. She turned slightly towards him, her eyes focussed on the floor.
“I didn’t want to cry before” Her crying had calmed down and it was silent, but he could still see the tears streaking her cheeks. She had whispered it, so he had difficulty hearing her comment. He let her continue.
“I didn’t want to give them the satisfaction” He could see her whole body tense.
“But I did cry, I did cry....” there was a slight pause “I cried when they...when they” Her crying got harder again. She looked extremely disgusted and sad all at once.
“I wish they would just kill me” She whispered it, looking even more disgusted with herself.
“Don’t say that” Kaiba said gently.
“Look at me” Serenity hesitantly turned her head towards him. Lifting her eyes to meet his.
“We are going to get out of here, Serenity” She looked hopeful for a second, but then that hope died.
“But how?” She said dejectedly.
“We will find a way, there is always a way out of everything”
“Not when you are handcuffed...” Serenity stated. Her crying had ceased, but her eyes were outlined in red and it looked like she was going to start crying again any second.
She shifted her gaze down to his chest obviously not wanting to look him in the eyes anymore. He didn’t reply. What could he say? They were handcuffed after all.
He was still looking at her and he noticed that she was concentrating on his chest. He was going to make some comment about her staring but she beat him by talking first.
“Is that a paper clip?” He could hear the disbelief in her voice.


I will update again on Wednesday!
