Please note: This is a fictional story. Many, if not the vast majority, of the actions taken by the fictional characters are absolutely not ok in real world, non-fictional settings. This is a dark short story that contains triggers and themes such as kidnapping, graphic sexual assault/ sexual objectification, drugging and abuse/torture. DO NOT continue if you don't enjoy reading that sort of thing in fictional worlds. ------- "Did anyone give you permission to speak?" He yells, spit flying from his mouth. My chin quivers as I shake my head. "Then why are you talking?" I glance behind Tony to the other man, I haven't caught his name yet, but he seems gentler than Tony. I huff a laugh at that thought.

Cupping my jaw I move to all fours only to be kicked in the ribs. I roll over groaning as the tears come faster. "Alright, I think she gets it." The second man says. "You're too soft, Leo. This is how the girls around here are treated. They get in line or they get punished." Leo looks away from me and nods at Tony. "Got it, boss." ------------ Below are some crisis and help hotlines (US numbers) Suicide, Mental Health Crisis: 988 National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1 888 373 7888 National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1 800 799 7233 Emergency Services: 911 ------ #1 in TriggerWarnings (January 2024)
