Chapter 2
I woke with a throbbing head, the pounding in my head making it almost impossible for me to analyse my surrounding, as I tried to move my hand , the reality of the situation hit me. I came to my senses almost instantly, the adrenaline bringing my senses back to life. I carefully opened one eye and assessed the scene, no one in direct line of sight. I opened my other eye slowly and took in the whole scene to calculate my most accurate escape. My wrists and ankles are bound by a rope, I tried pulling but no effect, if will only cut skin with more pressure. Everywhere around me girls are lying side to side leaning on each other, I don't think anyone has waken up yet.
My throat is dry from lack of water, looking around I tried to get the idea of time right now, all I could guess from the little peek I could get from the window at the sky outside is that it's been about 3-4 hours since the drill incident. The room is dirty, narrow like an alleyway and grey with paint peeling out of walls, at the far end is a makeshift iron gate with an empty chair alongside, for a watchmen I guess. I noticed there are no cameras in the room either, I started to shake my back off the wall slowly, retrieving my shoulder from under eve's head. I angled my body sideways to get my bound ankles under me and to slide my wrist to my front somehow, I have tried to do it before but right now my muscles are more rigid from laying on the concrete. After a few more painful attempts I finally got my wrists ahead and analysed my bound wrists.
The rope has created a pattern on my wrist and from pulling it already, I used my bound hands to work off my ankle knots, feeling a sense of relief that I will be able to defend a bit with my legs free. I stretched my ankles to get the flow back. I was trying to use my teeth to get rid of the knots at different angle when I sensed movement In the room. I instantly stilled and slowly laid my back onto wall, it was Priscilla groaning a little while opening her eyes , I tried to reach my ankles to touch hers to warn her to calm down, we need to be ready when they come down here.
She looked around panicking, about to scream, I hissed her name, and she meet my eyes, relieved to find someone familiar.
"Look, I know it's not the best condition that we are in right now but if we want to get out of here, we have to act using our mind. Now I am going to untie your hands and then you untie mine. Till then, I hope other girls would wake up and we can plot an escape, ok?"
She kept staring at me for a few seconds and then nodded, trying to face the wall to I can reach her wrists. After so many tucks and pulls ,I managed to get her hands free but just before she could do mine, we heard commotion near the doorway, I indicated her to act like she is asleep and hide her hands behind her back.
I closed my eyes slightly and studied the gateway, two men have entered the room and they are gazing down at us with smug expressions muttering something about big earnings, my blood is boiling and it is all I could do not to lunge at then and kill them right then. They occasionally bend down to touch girls and chuckling at how much would they enjoy after we regain consciousness, I am personally going to ensure he never have sex again in his life now.
One of them left while the other kept on looking and touching girls, nearing me, when his phone buzzed he exited the room and walked up the stairs. I opened my eyes and saw that Priscilla's face has turned white as if seen a ghost, there was nothing but fear there on her face which I hated because this is not the time to fear, it's to hate these bastards. I asked her to untie my hands, which she did hesitantly, after I was completely unbound I stood up and stretched my body to ready it for the fight ahead.
"If we are to stay alive and unscathed , we have to stick together no matter what, let's wake everyone slowly but make sure no one makes much sounds, we have to get everyone unbound before they get back so we can attack them." I told her while unlocking her ankles.
"Wha...what if they have guns?" she stuttered.
"you don't worry about that now, let's get people on their feet now"
She nodded and started with waking up everyone else. We have only managed to wake a few girls when the sound of steps sounded nearby I indicated everyone to pretend to stay fearful and vulnerable. I myself gently laid back in my position with my hands hidden and eyes open.
The same guy who went to take the phone call returned in the room.
"Aha....awake, nice....I have been waiting for you lovely ladies to wake up for so long, it's about time...why don't you get rid of those filthy clothes let me help you" He touched Greta and started to pull at her top but that was all the distraction I needed.
As he was bent over her, he didn't get to respond in time when I lunged at him and I hit my elbow hard at the base of his back and clutching his mouth before he can create much noise. I took advantage to his pain and punched the same area again.. while tearing off my shirt and pulling it on his mouth to stop voice from coming. His face only seemed to fuel my anger and I remembered he had plans for us after we wake up.
Gripping his collar tightly I drove my knee hard in his balls repeatedly and then, throwing him on the ground I kicked his junk repeatedly, making sure he never gets to have sex again ever. Till the time I was finished, he was lying unflinching on the floor and I wiped my sweaty palms on my shirt ,dragging him to the position I was sitting at moments ago.
The action seem to have bought every girl into consciousness, everyone looking at me with round eyes. I still need a weapon even if it's small. But first I'll have to get these girls to understand their reality. Nearly all of them are at a nearly crying state which isn't desirable for what I have in mind for them.
"Look girls, this is no time to cry your eyes out, forget fear, think of your family who is worried sick of your wellbeing and will you give up this easily, we stick together, we stay alive. Now, we are all kidnapped victims here and they are the sellers of sex slaves which is what they make out of people like us, the reality of such life is being beaten, drugged, rapped and sold to different countries which I don't think any of you want as a life so forget crying and convert this to anger and hatred towards them. Now, when any guy comes we will attack."
