Vesna stared in shock at the scene before her. The twin sisters were worried as Meredith always brought the younger boys. She prayed to God that they weren't being beaten up but she didn't expect to see something even worse.

Meredith spotted her but before she could grab her she began screaming,

"" She yelled in a panic.

Vera was close to her so she bolted to her sister as soon as she was screaming.

"What?! What's wro-" She then stopped when she saw her teary-eyed little brother, Viktor. Naked and on top of him was an equally naked passed middle-aged wrinkly woman. She blacked out and didn't realize her body was moving on her own.

She grabbed the nearest vase and lunged at the woman. She broke the vase on her head and kept pulling strands upon strands of hair till blood was coming out of the lady's head.

While screaming she said, ""

"Vera, please-" Viktor tried pulling his sister back when he was flung away by Meredith who grabbed Vera's hair.

Vera turned and scratched Meredith's face in seething anger.

" "

" " She threatened while pointing the gun at him.

Vera's eyes shook and so she stepped down.

Meredith tended to the beaten-up lady who was as furious as she was just beaten up by a teenage brat. As revenge, Meredith allowed her to have some alone time with Vera.

Viktor screamed as much as he could, begging to just let them use him but all was futile as all he could do was see the lady punch, kick, and beat Vera with a metal stick. Vera mouthed to Viktor to turn around and close his eyes.

It was dawn when the rest found out what happened to Vera. Soren being the most studious among all of them did what he could do to tend to Vera's injuries. He let his body be used by Meredith as just begging didn't let him get the things he needed to prevent Vera's injuries get infected.

Many times they contemplated that they should just escape but as they did not know where they were, they had any sort of communication device and knew that the wilderness of Australia was one of the most dangerous ones. As something as little as spiders were extremely venomous.

Then a light of hope shimmered in their lives as when Meredith was passed out, drunk, they heard her phone ring and immediately answered it. It was the Wilson's, Calixto ran to their rooms and had them lock the door.

"" He begged through frustrated tears.

"" Mrs. Wilson panicked.

They further explained their experiences and begged her to quickly find them. She expressed that they will try their best and asked them to hold on with tears in her eyes, telling them how much they love them and just wait for them.

When they heard Meredith groaning, slowly waking up. They quickly ended the call and placed it back where they saw it. Another month passed by and Meredith added new things to her security system.

She closed off all the windows with boards, removed the doorknobs of all the rooms, and added chained weights on their ankles except for Madeline as she was just 5 years old. Their food then turned into just canned meals. Barely enough to sustain them all.

Every night, the siblings needed to bite back tears as they would send off Devereux, Alicai, Revere, Soren, and Calixto to be sexually assaulted for money.

"" Seth mumbled while staring at the wall. His eyes reflected nothing, as if he were dead.

" " Calliope cried while hugging Madeline. Madeline just shutter her eyes and closed her ears as Devereux told her to do whenever he had to leave at night.

" " Vesna said while dragging her sister back.

" " She yelled.

" " Vesna cried.

" " She bit her lip till it bled.

Vesna walked to Maro and sat beside him, he was just staring at nothing and not saying a word. To comfort him she side hugged him and patted his head.

"" Vesna repeated over and over again.

A couple more months passed and it was officially 6 months since they were trapped inside the run-down house. 6 months of relentless abuse, being beaten up without any excuse, being sexual abuse for money, and being starved.

"" she cheered in happiness.

"" Vera's eyes twitched.

"" She laughed and showed them a photo of a Black-haired woman, she was clearly of Asian descent if they had to guess, east Asian. she had a slim body and a smile that was devious enough to make their spine chill.

"" Lippe bit.

" " Meredith then pressed the cigarette bud on her back and walked away.

" " Madeline came running with tears in her eyes and scratched her leg with a fork.

Meredith picked her up by the neck and glared at the crying Madeline. The rest of them shook, not wanting to aggravate the situation any worse than it already was.

" A-Aunt Meredith, I'm sorry, please. I'll take Madeline back and I'll s-scold her." Devereux stuttered.

"" She then dragged Madeline by the hair and threw her into the dark room. As its name implies, it was a room where there were no windows or any sort of light.

"" She stared at the crying Madeline and closed the door.

Devereux bit his lip till it bled, he could do nothing more than just stand by the door assuring his sister that he was right there.

Night fell and as promised the woman arrived.

"Ae-ri! soo glad to see you here." Meredith smiled at the woman.

"Where's the cutie?" Ae-ri licked her lips and Meredith lead her to where Devereux was. He was still in front of the door to where Madeline was trapped in.

"Let's go~" Ae-ri kissed Devereux's lips

"B-bubba? B-BUBBA! BUBBA NO!" Madeline's screams were heard from inside the room as she knocked on the door as loud as she could.

Ae-ri halted and turned around to look at the door then a eerie smile crept up her face.

"He has a little sister?" She asked and Devereux paled.

"About 5 years old, why?" Meredith raised her brow.

"."

In front of Madeline did she stip Devereux naked. Despite Devereux's pleas to get her out of the room all he got was multiple cigarette burns from Ae-ri.

She made him bend as she stomped on his back with her heel as she stared at the thrashing Madeline.

Just when she was aligning his penis to her opening, Madeline broke free and pulled onto her pubic hairs as hard as she could.

Ae-ri cried in pain and pushed the child, Meredith was fuming and she dragged her out of the room.

"" He got down on his knees.

"" She smirked and dragged Madeline.

Ae-ri then received a phone call,

"Fuck, it's my boss. Hey Meredith! I'll come back in two days, my fucking boss is asking for me again." She then rushed to wear her clothes and left.

Meredith brought Madeline to a separate room but before she could do anything, her head was smashed by a large hollow block. She collapsed to the floor where she bled. Viktor stood there with dull eyes with no signs of regret.

" " Vesna yelled in a hurry while they find the keys to the locks on their chains.

They unlocked the chains that bounded them and stared at the door to their exit.
