Pain,

Abuse,

Torture,

Stop it please!

*****

I woke up from the splash of cold water on my face. I feel that my hands are tied on the chair. My foot is also numb, maybe they did this to me earlier.

"Wake up crazy bitch!" I heard a man shout at me, one of them. My eyes are blindfolded so I can't determine who it is.

"Are you thirsty Eve? Do you still want more water?" Sandra's voice. They all laughed, as if I could hear the demons laughing.

They are obviously ecstatic because of this view that I am suffering from what they are doing and helpless.

"What do you need from me?" I ask them. Calmly.

"What do you need from me me me me" imitated one of them.

"Because you're crazy, who knows? Maybe you're a real witch and then you will use your black magic on us, right? So you should just be tortured. You're ruining the name of the campus" it's Kristie now.

"It looks like you are the real crazy people, the person you are hurting is helpless. You really make sure that I can't fight back, aren't you? You are afraid of what I can do, you outnumbered me. Psh" I felt someone approaching and choked me.

I'm now gasping for air. This bastard! He's gonna kill me! "Does this look like we are scared of you? Huh? Do you really wish to die now ?!" And he tightened his grip on me even more.

My mouth is open because of suffocation on his grip on my neck, soon I will lose my consciousness. I felt someone come near us and that caused him to stop strangling me.

I coughed as he let go of my neck and inhaled the air again. I was still catching my breath when suddenly someone slapped me hard.

I tasted my own blood because of the hard slap. This is a different person, they are together against me. He seems unsatisfied and repeated over and over again. Maybe he just stopped when he felt tired.

I almost fainted from the pain in my cheek. My blood is also dripping from my nose and mouth. My eyelids dropped because of the excessive force on my face.

Though vague, I can see a lot of them around me. Maybe in ten or more. My former friends are the leaders. I can see the grin on both of them. They are glad to see me struggling and hurting.

"What Eve? Can you still talk? HAHAHAHA" one of the monsters, Kristie spoke. Even though my whole face hurts and I am already weak, I still can't stop laughing.

The voice is also whispering in my head and it says, "those who are hurting you now are worthless and self-centered."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE TREATING YOURSELF LIKE YOU ARE SOME KIND OF PRINCES AND PRINCESSES WHEN IN FACT ... YOU ARE THE MONSTERS YOU SON OF A BITCH!" they moved away slightly, surprised by my sudden reaction.

They did not expect me to have the courage after they hurt me. Brats!

Recovering from my sudden reaction, two boys approached to untie me and forcibly erected me from my seat.

They are holding my arms. I just smiled and waited for what they would do next. Sandra is now approaching me, she looks really pissed by the way and it makes me want to mock her more.

"Scared of me Sandra?" I looked her in the eye and saw that that she is almost trembling and really afraid of me. Aww ... I would love to see that reaction again.

"Crazy bitch!" She scratched me, slapped me, punched me and all that kind of pain that she could possibly do. She is also wearing some hard jewelries on her hands and fingers. The pain of what she was doing is more painful. I am weak but she still did not have the urge to stop.

The white nightgown I was wearing is also bloody. The laughter of those around us made my head hurt even more. Even these two who are holding me so that I could not escape, are also contributing to the noise.

My legs almost gave up because I no longer had the strength. My eyes are closing as well. She is catching her breath and her sweat is dripping because maybe she was exaggerated of what she did to me.

She pulled my hair tightly and forced me to face her. "I'M NOT EVEN A BIT SCARED OF YOU, YOU CAN'T EVEN TOUCH ME"

"Y-you are s-scared bec-cause you k-know what I can do" I sound weak, but I don't want them to tell me I'm afraid of them. They can't even fight me without ties and people to hold my arms, weaklings.

For the last time, she slapped me. I was released by the two boys so I slid to the floor. All the pains of my wounds and bruises, all at once. Shit.

I was in tears when they picked me up and sat me down on the chair again. I noticed a table with small, sharp knives and scissors on it.

"It's your turn guys. Remember, don't stab her, just hurt her. But ... you will deepen the cut understand?"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Okay sissyyy"

"Sure!"

I heard the agreement of his companions. I'm getting tired, if they want to kill me, I hope they just hurry up and don't torture me anymore.

The sound of things they were going to use on me rang out when they picked it up on the table. I just closed my eyes and waited for sharp objects to touch me. They wounded my arm first.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I could not stop screaming. My skin is tearing and fresh blood is dripping. Every touch of the knife on my skin, it was as if I was losing my sanity.

My hands are also tied so I can't move. They slit my skin one after another, even my face still numb from the slap and bruises was not missed.

I guess my eyes are the only one that are unblemished. My blood was spilled and my clothes were torn. "Who is afraid of you again?" I can hardly open my eyes anymore.

I know she is happy because of what they did. Why haven't they killed me yet? So it is over.

"No worries, this is not the end. You will still live, and we will make your life ... a living hell. Then, when we are bored, we will bury you near the tree you always talk to" that's all I heard and I lost consciousness.

I want to die.

Blood,

Death,

Darkness,

My eyes witnessed those for a moment.
