Feral

Found

Sitting in the small space with my back against the cold wall I tightly held Emerson against my breast and watched the other girls crying and begging for help from inside their cages. I use to be just like them, I use to cry and scream for my mother until I realized how useless it was. If they would just stop screaming and behaved, they would have a lot more privileges. I was the first girl that he saved. At the time I didn't know he was trying to help but eventually I learned.

Hearing a car pull up I quickly stood to my feet and waited patiently for Mr. Fully to come into the building. It was feeding day and I could feel myself getting weaker since I started breastfeeding Emerson. Before I could go the full week and still be able to get up and do my chores, now just sitting here and feeding him would make me exhausted. The door opened and Mr. Fully came into view. He was a tall and muscular man with grey thinning hair. As soon as he entered the building  all of the girls went quiet and curled into the back of their cages.

Mr. Fully dropped the meat on the floor with a grunt and quickly slammed the door shut. I guess he wasn't having a good day. Not that I minded, I was still sore from last night when he wanted sex. I never did like it much, it always hurt even when I was younger. 

I placed Emerson on my bed and started separating the meat to give to all the girls. I don't know how many are in here with me but if I remember my numbers correctly from when my mother taught me, there are four. I threw in the meat to the two girls that have been here for a while and and bent down with a smile to the last cage. There was two girls in the cage that stood out from the other ones. They both had bright red hair and hopeful grey eyes. They were new. That hope would fade shortly I've seen it happen with the other girls. The older girl came over and took the meat confused.

"How are we suppose to cook this?" She timidly asked me.

"What do you mean cook it. You just eat it like this." I took my share of the meat and ripped off a chunk with my teeth and smiled.

The girls looked horrified but slowly started to eat it. I took the rest of my meat and went to my bed picking up Emerson in one arm and eating with the other. I was the only girl to get a bed, I was the only one trusted to not be in a cage. The other girls always tired to run away and I would always have to take care of them when Mr. Fully got caught them. 

Eating the rest of the meat I looked down to see Emerson's eyes shut and his mouth slightly open. I smiled at him and kissed his forehead laying down on my bed and tucking Emerson in close to me. At least he is full and happy, Mr. Fully doesn't even look at him let alone touch him, so he has never felt his temper before. 

Closing my eyes I place my back to the door so Emerson would be between me and the wall and I started to drift off to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of multiple cars driving towards the building. I sit up and face the door confused, Mr. Fully has never came here more then once a day and judging by the pitch blackness all around the building I could tell it was still night. It was never really light in the building but there would be a halo of light around the door. Suddenly there was flashes of light and I could hear footsteps and hushed whispering. 

I couldn't see any of the girls but I could hear the deep breathing informing me that they were asleep. I tightly held onto Emerson and kept my eyes locked on the door, waiting for something to happen. 

It went silent and I let out a small sigh and started to relax when the door banged opened and light flooded the building causing me to wince and Emerson to start crying. All the girls woke up with a scream and hid tightly in their corners, the two red headed girls holding each other. I bent my head down and let my long black matted hair to cover Emerson and my face from the light. 

I tried to silence Emerson quickly knowing it would make Mr. Fully angry. There was unfamiliar voices that made me look up to see men and women looking around the building with lights in their hands. They were trying to get into the cages and two of them were walking towards me. I quickly stood up with Emerson in my arms and backed away from them. They both stopped where they were and put up their hands facing me. 

"Hey its okay. My name is Jackson and I'm with the police department." The man slowly tried to come towards me again and I flinched back, making him stop in his tracks. I looked around to see the girls excited and eagerly going with the strange new people and the older red headed girl looked over at me with a smile and nod, relief was washing through her eyes. 

Looking back at the man who had just spoke, not able to say anything before he started talking again, "We are here to take you back home. George Fully has been arrested."

"Mr. Fully told you to come get us?" I whispered. 

The man was silent for a minute before slowly nodding, "In a way yes. Will you please come with us so we can get you and your baby checked out."

Confused I stepped towards the man and he led me out of the building and I slowly looked around. This had been my first time outside since being brought into the building. Even in the dark I could see the trees that were everywhere and held Emerson close to me when the wind picked up. 

I felt something light around my shoulders and I jumped and turned around. A blanket and been placed on my shoulders and I looked at the man with astonishment. The last time I remember having a blanket was when I was with my mom, before Mr. Fully. 

"Come on the EMT's wanna take a look at you and your baby." The man talked softly and I nodded, even though I didn't know what that meant. 

Going towards a big car with lights flashing on top of it a woman with gloves on reached out and tried to grab Emerson. I pushed her away from us and quickly backed away from her.

"It's okay. She is just gonna check to make sure he's okay." I looked up at the man who has been with me since he brought me out and shook my head no quickly.

"They aren't going to hurt him sweetie, you will be right there with him and I will be with you both the whole time." He smiled down at me and I looked over at the woman and she opened the back of the car. It has a bed!

In awe I walked over to her and she nodded towards the bed, telling me to sit and I carefully sat down with the man hovering just behind the woman. I have to listen to him if this is what Mr. Fully wanted. Maybe this man is gonna be my new owner. I've watched him sell other girls but he always kept me, maybe now that I've had Emerson he doesn't want me anymore. 

I sat patiently while the lady cleaned my wounds and and wrapped me and Emerson in blankets. I don't know what most of the things she was doing was but most of it wasn't painful. She tried to talked to me but I stayed silent. I don't wanna say anything to make my new owner mad.

"Sweetie do you have a name?" I looked up at the man and nodded quietly.

"I'm Avyanna and this is Emerson." I looked down at the sleeping boy and smiled. He was such a good boy he almost never cried and when he did it was always because he was hungry or tired. 

"Well thats a beautiful name and he is a very handsome boy. Right now we are gonna transport you to the hospital to get fully evaluated and see if we can get a hold of anyone for you."

I nodded not understanding what he meant and watched as they closed the doors of the car trapping me and Emerson in with the woman that was cleaning us up. It seemed like we had been driving for quite a while and at some point I slowly drifted off to sleep to the rocking of the car.
