I could still remember the day my dad had killed those couples right in front of me,and the peeping Anna who had gotten a constant nightmare as a result of what he did.
That was to teach me a lesson,he knew that i despised the sight of blood talkmore of taking a person's life right infront of me.
That was the worst day of my life,a time in my life that i tried to bury at the back of my mind and live freely,while hoping that the nightmare's wouldn't come back to haunt me.
To haunt me because i was a witness to that act,yet i couldn't do anything to bring my father to justice,I was unable to do anything but only stare as the blood stained the floors and of course my clothes.
For the fact that he didn't think straight nor had any humanity left in him,to kill his fellow human being made me lose every single feeling and respect i had for him.
But ofcourse i had to play along,to act as if there was nothing between us to stay alive, while waiting for a perfect time to run away from this sort of life with my sister.
A life where all i have ever known was to not hesitate to kill my enemy unless i will end up dying. One minute of my hesitation would cause me a lot of things that i hold dear to each other.
And right now, watching Alejandro pointing at me made me realize how toxic i was,just like my father who would do everything to protect us irrespective of what sort of a human being he was.
I wasn't any different from my father, because the very first thing that came to my mind watching him point that gun at me and Anna had me acting out of impulse.
I rushed forward, towards him regardless of the pistol and the man holding it who won't relent in using it against me,I raised the knife up to slash his face.
But i was pushed to the nearest wall again,this time i heard my bones crack for real and i wouldn't be surprised that i might have damaged my spine for good.
"Angelina!''Anna yelled,she called my name for the second time in ages as a result of how hard i was flung to the wall.
Was i suppose to die from that act?
I didn't know,and i wasn't planning on doing that either while leaving my sister here in the lair of these monsters.
She talked.
The first time she did that was back at the family house,when the house was burnt down in piece's and that's her reaction when she's scared.
Whatever that would have made Anna talk had to be something of importance,and for the fact that she was here watching me with her doe eyes in shock didn't let me stay there for long.
I didn't want her to see that i was weak and incapable of protecting her, everything had been going fine.we were just a few steps away from being free,away from here and this hell.
"I will take care of her boss"I heard Juan said, lifting up my eyes to see his worried face that got me confused, as to why he was looking at me that way,in that sort of manner again!
Take care of me?
He will be the first to die by my knife,I will slash his face and let the blood soak the entire house. This time i wasn't feeling bad at having such thoughts about blood.
People changes,and that's as a results of them trying to cope in any situation they found themselves in,I figured out that i wouldn't last long here if i was being stupid and not using my brain to think just like my father's daughter would think.
I'm Jim Lopez's child,to hell with whatever it was my father did to have brought us into this mess,if I'm going down,I'm going down with these men too.
Alejandro was mad,really angry that he pushed Juan aside and walked up to choke me to the wall,his other hand squeezing my hand tightly to drop the knife.
"Leave my sister alone!''Anna shouted,abd ran up to throw punches at his back,while i fought again for my life.
Was i destined to be choked to death?
If the devil had any ounce of humanity in him,he would have had a change of heart watching Anna beg for my life,and also grant us our wish to leave here.
But he's the devil.He has no heart,and we are nothing but his slaves till whenever he says he's done having us in his lair,but i refused to be one.
"Boss"Nate chose this time to appear,the pain still evident on his face and right now watching me being choked to death by his boss did bring him satisfaction.
He went up and dragged Anna by her hair,her cries filing the room as i punche Alejandro's chest to let me go.
"Who do you think you are to raise a knife at me?"He asked,as if i wasn't supposed to do that when he had a fucking gun pointed at me.
He had the perfect chance to kill me,he should have killed me when he had the chance to do that,but why did he hesitate?
"Do you have a death wish?!''He roared at my face, releasing me from his bondage but not without giving two hefty slap to my face that knocked me to the ground.
"Let me go!''Anna cried,and this time around she slapped Nate,but the motherfucker returned the gesture back.
I will kill Nate!
He will end up dying a slow painful death while I use my knife…
"What the fuck do you think you are doing?"Andres came back in to what's happening,and i watched as he ran over to take Anna away from Nate.
It was hard to talk,I wanted to call out for her to move away from him,he's no different from the rest of them.
But i was pulled up by my hair,coughing out blood,as Alejandro pushed me to the floor right in front of everyone.
"Who let the bitch out?''He asked,as the girl from earlier appeared out of nowhere to speak,but before a twinkle of an eye,a hole was put right in-between her eyes as she fell down dead.
I was frozen right at the spot,while a loud cry left Anna's lips…no, she was shaking so badly, that that Andres rushed her out of the scene, to do something about her inability to breathe.
"The next would be you lying down in a pool of your blood, if you try this shit next time"Alejandro whispered to me,"But i'm sure killing your little sister would do a good…"
"Don't you dare touch Anna!"I found myself shouting,this time my voice was back,but he grabbed me by my hair pulling me up to look into his cold face,was this man human?
How could he be so heartless to take the life of someone without any hesitation?
"I would like to watch you try to stop me bitch,I always love a game because i always win. Give me a reason why you think i wouldn't do that?"He said coldly,pushing me to the ground and started to walk away.
"I'm sorry boss "Nate Apologized.
I was weak and shocked to the marrow,and I was lost,not knowing what to do anymore.Alejandro wouldn't kill Anna right?
He was only bluffing?
I tried to not believe his words, but yet the fear that this monster always kept to his words had me reconsidering,and hoping that i would live till the day my redeemer comes to take me out of here.
The hope was dead,and nothing was left but a scared Angelina who had no clue on what to do about my future from now on.
"Found you atlast bitch,you will pay for what you caused me"Nate said, grabbing my hair from the back,as I fight against him but i was too exhausted.
"Nate stop!''Juan yelled to him,but it was too late already,he hit the barrier of his gun right at my face , knocking me out.
As i drifted into the darkness one more time,while knowing that once I'm awake it's a brand new start of another torment awaiting me from these men who had me.
I was scared.
I needed help,but right now that wasn't coming from the look of things.Alejandro has me and knew my alibi which is no other than Anna.
So,what else am i if not his captive?
