Edith POV
I was awoken by the gunshots.All the guards who were protecting me from outside the warehouse was shot dead,I saw their blood spreading outside the metal door.
"God!No." I cried as I covered my eyes.
"No,no,no." I cried as the doors burst open.I was familiar with those men.It was Claude and his friends who tried to rape me the first day here.
Oh no.
"No,no!" I yelled.
"Don't touch me!" I cried.A man carried a chainsaw.He cut the shackles and grabbed me.
"Let me go!" I cried.
"Please!"
Blake's men were killed brutally.I screamed my lungs out when I saw them.Seeing that I was screaming,they injected me with something as I felt my eyes close.
This was the end of me.
-
I opened my eyes.They injected me with some kind of drug.I couldn't talk or move by myself.
"Get up!" I was woken up by a slap.It was Claude.I was wearing minimal clothing.I felt like I had nothing on me.All the eyes of those hungry men.When he dropped me to a room,I saw there were many other girls just in the same position like me.
We were being human trafficked.
"Boss,we are gonna get millions for it." Claude laughed with a few elderly men.These animals!
My tears were falling.I couldn't move or do anything.It was like I was asleep but I was conscious.
"How?" The man asked Claude.
"Just wait,boss." He smirked again.
Within a moment,the last girl of the left was picked up.Barely dressed.How much more cruelty did this world had to offer?
She was stood in a table which rotated automatically.It was like she was an object they could buy.Those animals were checking that poor girl out and commenting the dirtiest things that I wished I never heard in my life.I was scared.I couldn't imagine how that girl was feeling.She was just like the rest of us.We were all asleep but our eyes were open and our mind was conscious.The rest of our bodies were numb as a statue.
"This one is way too skinny.How much do you think they will give us for it?" One of those dirtbags asked.
"I don't know.I think we will be getting the least for this one." Another bastard said.
"Put her away." She was pushed to aside and were taken to another room.
Then another girl was placed on the same turning table.
"This one's got the fats." A man commented.In fact he was the bloody fat animal.
"This one is worth a lot.She got the...you know." Claude winked.
They were monsters!
In a second,he tore apart the smallest thing covering her from the eyes of these greedy monsters.I gasped as I closed my eyes.All the girls beside me did too.
"I am gonna do her." The fat man said.
"Excuse me for a second people.Let the girls watch what's coming to them." He smirked.The other men left.
We watched him ruin that poor soul in front of us with no shame at all.
We couldn't do anything to save that young girl.
Nothing.
I was left traumatized.Why was life throwing it all at me? Wasn't all the gruesomely dead bodies weren't enough for me that I had to witness a girl being destroyed.I cried as hard as I could.My heart was pounding in fear.It felt like my heart would burst out of my chest any minute now.
Will this happen to me too?
All the girls beside me was crying.We couldn't escape.We couldn't fight.We could do nothing while these monsters did whatever they wanted with us.
However,after that,no one was abused.Just those men talked about how much they could earn by selling us.
Girls after girls,until it was my turn.I could understand everything but I couldn't move.
I was on the table when they started commenting about me.I've never felt more disgusted in my life.My heart was racing faster than anything.I wanted to puke out but I couldn't.
I felt sick of myself for being so weak.
"We could get millions for this one!" Claude laughed.
"That is a virgin!" He said.
"God, she's got that body which makes me want to-"
They were acting disgusting.
"It's your call boss." Claude said.
"Yeah, whatever,hells to her.I need to become a goddamn millionaire by selling this." He said.
"Good choice."
Suddenly,the environment changed with a gun shot.All the guards aimed towards all the entry points.The animals got to cover.There was gunshots and blood.
It was a massacre.I wanted to run and hide but I couldn't.It felt like I was going to die.I closed my eyes and let the tears fall by itself.
"Desdemona!" A voice made me open my eyes.I looked at the man running towards me.
As soon as he held me in his arms,I was brought back to life.
Although,I couldn't speak or move,I felt alive that he came to save me.
I never ever imagined that he would come for me.Not at least after what I did.
He knelt down with me in his arms.He opened his coat and covered my body.
"Desdemona,look at me." He slapped my face to wake me up.I can't do anything,Blake.
"Des,I am here." He wiped my tears and embraced me tightly.
"Close your eyes and sleep.I am here now,Des.I am here." He picked me up.I heard the police arrived shortly and got those men who were running such dangerous operation.
"Get all the girls to safety." I heard him say.At least they were all safe.
-
Several hours later.
I woke up screaming as the bloody scenes flashed inside my mind.I bursted out crying because it was all dark here and I couldn't see anything.I was all alone.
I screamed for help until a pair of hands reached to me.I tried to break free from the monsters.
"Desdemona!" Blake held me in his arms tightly.
"It's me." He said.
"Blake.There are monsters,blood.I can't- those men killed your pe-people.They-they..."
"Calm down.It's fine.You are safe now." He smiled and poured me a glass of water.
"No! They were ruining those girls! Ah...I can't...oh,oh my head." I tapped my head as it ached terribly.
"Hey,hey.Everyone is safe.Those men are behind bars.No one will harm you.It's okay.It's fine." He slowly put me down on the bed and massaged my head.
"Don't leave me alone, please.I-" I burst into tears.
"No,I am not going anywhere." He comforted me.
"Promise?" I asked.He hesitated for a second.I almost forgot what the word 'promise' caused between us.
"I...I promise." He said.
I held his hands and closed my eyes.Knowing that I was safe.
