up to the sound of something loud crashing against the floor next to me. I was hoping this could just be a horrible nightmare but, I woke up in the same room as before. The blood around me had been cleaned up and there was no evidence of what had happened earlier, yet I could still feel the lingering pain.

My hands were tied behind my back, and my wrists were burning from the rope rubbing against my skin.

"Get up already."

My eyes widened and I sat up all a little too quickly. "J-Juls??"

She was sitting on top of that large table that held all of those knives, her legs folded over the other, staring down at me with an unpleasant look. I looked down towards what she'd thrown on the floor and I felt confused.

"An...apple?"

She clicked her tongue and sighed, "Eat it. That's the only food you're getting so you better be grateful."

I could feel a sharp pain in my heart as it rolled towards me. I wasn't used to her being like this, in my head, I was still used to that cheery Julianna that was all beside me. Now she was looking down on me like she hated me. I wanted to lie and say that I wasn't hungry but my stomach growled just being reminded of food. I'd thrown up so much before.

I looked up at her and she frowned. "H-how am I supposed to e-eat it?"

A smirk formed on her face and she stood up, walking towards me. She stepped her foot right on top of the apple and pushed my head down onto the floor. "Eat it."

My eyes started to well up as I opened my mouth and took a bite of it. I could taste the dirt from her shoes in my mouth as I chewed it up. It tasted bitter and unripe on my tongue, and it stung as I gulped it down my dry throat. My eyes widened when my throat felt like it was burning on fire and I gagged. There was something extremely wrong with this apple.

She snickered and rolled the apple around with her foot, "Take another bite."

I couldn't stop coughing, it felt like my entire body was on fire now, and my throat felt like it was going to close. She gripped my hair in her hand and pulled my head up before shoving the apple in my mouth and forcing me to take another bite.

"Fucking eat it." She spat out, trying to get me to chew it up. My eyes widened when I felt something frantically crawling in my mouth. She held her hand over my mouth and nose so that I couldn't spit it out and I looked up at her with begging eyes. Tears were streaming down my face, but that didn't move her a single bit.

I struggled against her as I felt it moving to the back of my mouth, it was going to go down. I gagged as I felt it slipping down my throat, and I want to scream. I couldn't breathe with her holding her hand up to my face so I chewed up the apple in my mouth a swallowed it, making that burning feeling spark all over again. She let go of my face as she watched me swallow it and shoved the apple in my mouth again.

This time I saw the bugs infesting the inside of it. They were squirming around, and this time, more than just one filled my mouth. I sobbed as I inhaled the repelling smell that was coming from them as she forced me to bite down. Their blood leaking into my mouth, mixing with the apple as I was made to chew it again. My tongue was tingling, and I could feel saliva filling my mouth as the urge to throw up built.

I couldn't hold it back, the second that she let go, I threw up all over her hand and shoes. She shrieked and stumbled away from me, dropping the leftover apple beside my face. My eyes widened seeing the bugs wriggling amongst my vomit, which all but made me throw up again.

I couldn't get the taste or feel out of my mouth. Juls lunged at me, grabbing a fistful of my hair, a small dagger in her hand. She brought it up to my mouth and pressed it against my lips. I cried out as I felt my skin slowly splitting apart.

She jumped up and the dagger fell to the floor as she heard the door suddenly open. Loud footsteps echoed through the room and fear spread through me as I looked up at who it was.

"Julianna...what are you doing? You're supposed to feed her the apple only. Why are you touching my knives?" He asked with an intimidating tone.

She growled and pointed her hand towards the pool of vomit beside me, "Felix. This bitch just fucking puked all over my hand. I was teaching her a lesson."

He snorted and looked at me, "Oh really? I'm sure Connor wouldn't want you to..." He said picking up the knife that she'd dropped on the floor. "Aren't you going to regret hurting her? You were so emotional when you first figured out-"

She cut him off, "Shut the hell up. I won't regret anything. Connor doesn't have a say so in what I can or can't do."

"He's concerned for your mental state, that's why he doesn't want-"

"Shut the fuck up... I-I'll watch you."

My heart sped up as he moved towards me with the knife. He chuckled and wiped the blood that was spilling from my face, "Suit yourself, Julianna. I bet you you'll be crying before she starts again."

He looked down towards me, "The poison should already have weakened you significantly regardless if you threw up some of it or not... Ah, should we continue where we were yesterday?" He asked smiling. He bent down and whispered in my ear, and my heart dropped at his words.

"Lick all of it up."

≪ ◦ ❖ ◦ ≫

He was right. She started crying before I did, and it pissed me off hearing her. I was in the most pain right now yet she was crying.

"M-maybe you should s-stop now Felix." She said, her eyes wide and horrified as she looked at me. My body had stopped healing itself because of the poison that they fed me, I was completely weakened by it. My entire body was completely covered in bruises, every time he would come back towards me, I'd start shaking.

He'd make me count up to 100 and if I fell behind he'd take a large pair of pliers and begin breaking off my fingernails one by one. The horrid scent that I couldn't stand before was completely masked by the smell of blood, and thinking back I'd rather smell that. I clenched my fists as he poured alcohol onto the wounds that'd he'd freshly cut.

He laughed when I cried, and the more I cried the more he hurt me.

He paused as the door cracked open. It was Connor.

"Wow...she looks like shit-" He paused when he saw Julianna. "Why the hell are you here?" Connor asked as he entered the room.

He sighed and his smile dropped when he saw her crying. "I told you not to come here."

"C-Connor can't you let her go?"

Felix let go of me and sighed, "She's been going on about that for a while now, " He said stepping to the side as Connor walked towards the table and examined the knives that were all stained with my blood. He slowly licked the edge of the knife clean and his eyes widened.

"Never thought I'd say it, but she tastes pretty good," Connor said starting at me. "Ahh, I wonder..." His facial expression changed into a more amused one and it sent chills down my spine.

"You think Cole would be mad if I fucked his bitch?" Connor chuckled asking Felix, while unzipping his pants. My eyes widened and Juls quickly stood up and walked towards him.

"Connor wait... You guys are doing too mu-"

"Julianna. Get out." He said cutting her off while shoving her away from him. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and I silently pleaded with her not to leave me alone with them.

"Please Connor, this is enough okay?" She begged, holding onto his arm. He looked at her and let out a low growl. "Get. Out."

She looked at me with her eyes teary and wide, "I'm so sorry Isabella. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, " She sobbed. Felix sighed and pulled her away with him out of the room. When he came back, he stood leaned against the door and lit a cigarette, his eyes trained on me.

Connor chuckled as he walked towards me, his pants slowly sliding down his legs. "I bet she's going to run and tell him...Everything is playing right into my hands."

He ran his hand over my lips and pouted, "What's with the sad face? Smile. After all, you'll be able to see that Master of yours very soon. Although I can't say you'll remember him then..."

He parted my mouth open with his thumb and sighed, "Let's give him a tear-jerking reunion shall we..."
