I wake in pain, my head hurts. I try to relax then remember what happened, screaming I open my eyes and move. A scream erupts from within me as something stabs me in my neck.

“You’re awake, good. Don’t move too much Harl.” I stare at Joel shocked, my eyes glancing down, I feel around my neck.

“What the fuck?” It’s a collar, with spikes on the inside.

“I agree sugar, it’s better, upgraded, the last one, well, didn’t have the desired effect.” I try and move, screaming as they dig in more. “Come on little mouse, you know the rules by now, stop struggling.” His words taunt me, and I look around the room. It’s changed, everything has changed.

“You noticed, I had to make changes after you ran. The longer you took, the more I did. What do you think? It’s ready for when my friends. to come and play, right?”

I stare around shocked..

“You can’t keep me!” Someone will know now, no way would my dad not try and reach out. “Someone will come to find me.”

“Little mouse, no one is coming. You have been out of it for nearly twenty–four hours. Granted, I kept using chloroform, I didn’t want you to wake too soon.” Moving I spit at him.

“Screw you, Joel!”

“I have something for you.” He smiles and walks out, coming back in with my phone. He stops and turns it to me. I turn my eyes away not wanting to look. “Read it, Harl! It’s from your mum.” I don’t want to.

“Fine, I shall read it for you.” He turns the phone back to him. “You destroyed us, how could you stand in front of us knowing what you were doing. Jasper is dead, and there was no way your dad could cover it considering the police showed while he was still killing him. You have no family, and you’re not my daughter.”

I fight back the tears, not wanting to listen.

“Leave me alone!” Screaming, I try to kick him, and he moves.

“Now sugar, that wouldn’t be nice, would it? You just found out the man you loved is dead and your dad is locked up for it.”

“I didn’t love him.” My head lowers, I did, and I don’t even know how it happened.

“You did, which was your downfall, had you not I wouldn’t have Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

shared that video. Now, I shall leave you for a bit and let you grieve, then we talk.” He stands and walks out and I hear the door locking. My eyes look around.

There’s no longer a wall between the bedroom and bathroom. The windows are covered in wood, and the bed is screwed to the floor. I glance around and see that everything is screwed down so I can’t grab anything as a weapon.

Turning I look at the wall, he has me chained to it, I fight against the collar, but all it does is dig in more. I can’t get out of this, not without playing along. That’s my best option, play along then I won’t

chained down.

I can’t yet though, if I do now he will know I’m lying, so, for now, I will fight this, and then let him believe he is winning and wearing me down. I fall asleep considering it. I wake hearing the door close, opening my eyes I glance towards him.

“I thought you might be hungry.” He places the plate down, and moving I kick it away from me.

“I would rather starve!”

He sighs and looks at me disappointed. “I can see you’re not ready to talk yet, that is fine, I can wait.” Turning he walks out and closes the door, locking it again. I peer at the window, trying to see out of it, I have no idea what time it is.

Screaming, I bang against the wall, each time hitting it hard and screaming louder. In this place people ignore things, but surely if I’m screaming for hours keeping them awake they will call the police? I keep going, my throat becoming sore.

Five minutes pass by and I watch the door open, and Joel stands looking at me amused.

“Harl, that won’t work. I soundproofed the rooms. And I ensured the flat next door is empty, no one will hear.” His words make me stop, my body falling forward as I give in. I had hoped someone would hear me. He laughs and walks into the room. “You left Harl, I had a lot of time to plan for when I got you back. Things have changed around here. Get some sleep, I will see you in the morning.” He turns to walk out.

“What’s your plan?” I look at him, needing to know.

“Are you ready to talk now?” I look around me, I want to say no, but I need to know, so I nod. Moving he kneels in front of me. “The plan is determined by how you behave Harl. I will be honest, I missed you this

past year.” He looks at me, and I can see somewhere in his sick twisted mind he means that. “So, if you behave, Harl, I won’t share you.”

What? I look at him confused.

“I can see you’re shocked. Let me explain. I don’t need to sell you to get money Harl, I have others for that, others who are willing to let me. They are not you though, so, we give you a few weeks to settle in. If you behave after that, I won’t sell you to others. In a few months, if you have proven yourself, you can work.”

I don’t want to be stuck in for months. I look around myself, this is my only way, even though I know it is. I can’t get out of this collar, not without killing myself. I look up hearing the knock, opening my mouth. to scream he moves and shoves something into my mouth.

I fight against him trying to bang, and he moves, fastening my hands. and feet to the floor so I can’t bang.

“I thought this would be easy Harl, but you’re making it harder.” He walks out and locks the door, sitting I try to listen, but I can’t hear anything. Just mumbled talking, a few minutes later the door closes and locks and I hear him coming back to the door.

I watch it open and stare at him, moving he takes the rag out of my

mouth.

“Who was that?”

“No one, get some sleep.” Turning he walks out, I stay sat against the wall, trying not to pull too much and hurt my neck more. I fall asleep but keep waking when my head moves and the spikes dig in more. It’s a long night.
