An hour has passed by and I was still in the backseat of a van with two men who promised to personally send me to hell.

There was no point in fighting anymore. The oprhanage was in close view now and I could only imagine the pain I was going to go through..

Once the van finally stopped I was harshly grabbed and pushed out of it. I landed on my hands and knees with a grunt leaving my mouth.

"Get up kid. We don't have your precious time!." the shorter man yelled, who I learned was named Buck.

The taller one was Calvin and they both had really bad tempers. The whole time I was with them, they would do nothing but argue about stupid things.

I got up off the ground and felt a slight sting on my knee knowing right away I scraped it. The palm of my hands were starting to feel the same, but these light scratches wouldn't compare to what I would face once I was inside the orphanage.

"How much do you think Mother Gabby will give us? She promised atleast five hundred for the white haired kid. " Buck told Calvin with excitment clear in his eyes.

They both pulled me towards the tall doors that led into the building where I knew evil lurked.

A part of me wanted to cry and beg them to have mercy on me, but another part of me had a feeling Alexander would save me.

But then again this place was well hidden in the middle of nowhere. The building itself was almost falling over.

I don't think anybody would even think innocent children lived in this place.

This was one of the reasons why the building was an hour away from town. Nobody in their right minds would wander by here so maybe Alexander would be one of them.

What if he couldn't find me?

"She better give us the money or I'll gladly take the kid back." I heard Calvin say with a disgusting smirk.

"You always liked them young." Buck chuckled.

I cringed at the things Calvin had in my mind and suddenly the orphanage was looking so much better.

We finally stopped in front of the old wooden doors and waited for somebody to answer as Buck knocked.

I bit my lip and felt my body tremble a little. I never expected to return to this horrible place and now that I was back it felt almost like a nightmare.

A nightmare that no matter how many times I pinched myself I couldn't wake up. The evil faces looking at me would not diseapper like they usually did.

The door creaked open cauisng me to glance up. My throat became dry and made it impossible for me to properly breath. There stood the maleficent woman that has haunted my mind ever since I escaped this place.

Mother Gabby.

She had dirty blonde with grey strands sticking out in a tight bun and her usual red lipstick that always stained her front teeth.

Her two piece outfit always matched the color of her earrings and her eyes were always tired with deep wrinkles on the sides.

She wore an evil smirk that always promised suffering and pain..

"Well, look what we have here. Finally...my little Luke has come back home. How delightful." she spit out in a monotone voice.

I stood quiet and instead glared at the witch.

"Bring him in. I got your money in my office." Mother Gabby instructed the two men holding me.

They pushed me into the old building and guided me through the all too familiar long hallway. My hands trembled violently as flashbacks of the years I spent here quickly took over my mind.

Why was this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?

Scars still scattered my thin body from the cruel things Mother Gabby has done to me. From the deep cuts on my back from a cable wire to the burn marks on my legs from a hot iron.

I knew that new scars would be formed in no time and it scared me so much to even think about.

I suddenly felt like a child again.

Tears blurred my vision once I was roughly thrown into a dark room that smelled like urine and dust.

"Don't have so much fun without us okay? See ya later!" Calvin taunted with a smug look as Buck laughed behind him.

They closed the heavy door and locked if before I heard their footsteps fade away.

Now I was alone with only my thoughts and fear.

So many emotions coursed through me as I tugged frantically at my hair. I looked around the room and tried to find something I could use to defend myself with.

But the only thing in the room was a dirty bed that had a urine stain on the far corner of it. There was nothing I could use to my advantage.

I sighed in defeat and instead cornered myself under the window that was too high for me to reach. I tucked my legs into my chest and wrapped my arms around them.

I wanted to scream.

I wanted to cry.

I wanted to runaway.

But most of all, I wanted Alexander...

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

...

I didn't know how long passed before I was let out of the disgusting room. All I knew was that my eyes burned slightly at the bright lights from the hallway.

Mother Gabby stayed silent as she lead me towards her office. I looked into the rooms we passed and was surprised to see children happily playing.

Not long after I was sitting in front of Mother Gabby with a bored expression. She glared right back at me with a smirk.

"Luke Baron. Age 16. Left here like a unwanted dog by his own mother."

My fists clenched in my lap at the comment but I bit my tongue to stay quiet. She knew I hated it when she talked about my mother so she loved to take advantage of that.

"You thought you could escape my orphanage and get away with it? Oh you are very wrong. Now look at you, all that work for nothing." she continued to taunt.

Like usual I just looked down at my lap and played with my fingers as a distraction from her words filled with venom.

"I truly did miss you, Luke. You were always my favorite little angel. Especially with that white hair of yours. In fact I never noticed how handsome you were until now."

I looked up at her at the last sentence she said and saw her staring at me strangely.

"I'll make a deal with you, Luke. I planned to punish you for a whole week for running away, but I will forget all about what you did and not lay a single hand on you. " she bribed with a creepy smile.

I waited for her to finish talking but she stayed quiet and let me take in the information.

"What do you want?.." I questioned.

Mother Gabby stood from her chair and approached me. I felt her slender finger run across my cheek slowly.

I quickly moved my head away from her touch and looked down at my lap again.

"All you have to do is satisfy me... if you understand what I mean. Then I will make sure you are not harmed in any way." she encouraged.

I bit my lip in thought and knew exactly what she wanted from me. But there was just so many problems with that.

1. She was the devil in disguise.

2. She was female and an old hag.

3. And most importantly she wasn't Alexander.

So overall, I would rather cut off my own penis than do anything sexual with her.

"I'm fine with my punishment." I told her honestly.

She glared at me with hateful eyes then grabbed my hair to tilt my head back causing me to look into her hateful eyes.

"Think wisely now. This is your last opportunity to get out of your punishment." she warned.

I shoved her hand away and stood up from my chair, "I already gave you my answer. I would rather be beaten all day than be touched by you!" I yelled frustrated.

Mother Gabby kept her composure and simply smiled at me. She grabbed my arm and pushed me out of her office.

"By the time I'm done with you, you're going to wish you took my offer. Now go down to the dinning hall for brekafast. I'm done with you." she spit out then slammed the door shut.

I stood awkwardly for a couple of seconds then headed towards the dinning area. I passed by a couple of children who looked at me with wide eyes.

I walked inside the cafeteria and felt everybodies eyes immediately land on me once I did.

A lot of familiar faces glanced at me with shock that I returned. I ignored theire glances and sat in the last table. I placed my head down in exhaustion and felt like crap.

Mother Gabby's words circled my mind and almost made me throw up right on the spot. As I was about to get up to get some food I was yanked out of my seat.

I didn't even flinch when I saw the face that belonged to none other than Robert. He was one of many of the kids here who had nothing better to do than pick on me.

He was only an inch taller than me and had dark black hair that was always up in a mohawk. Robert was known for the deep scar that ran from his right eye down to the side of his chin.

"I didn't believe people when they said you were dumb enough to get caught, but who could miss those freaky white hairs of yours." he laughed too close to my face and pulled on my hair.

I pushed him away and was just too tired to even fight back. I started to walk away from him but once again was grabbed.

Next thing I knew I was punched across the face and landing roughly on the dirty floor. I tasted blood on the tip of my tongue in a matter of seconds but I just wiped my mouth and stood up.

"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you freak!" I heard Robert yell as I continued to walk.

I brushed the dirt off my jeans and jacket with a heavy sigh. I could feel my lip swell up by the second but I ignored the stinging pain.

My hunger quickly faded and all I wanted to do was sleep. As I left the dinning hall I saw Mother Gabby with crossed arms and an amused smile.

She obviously witnessed what happened to me, but of course she did nothing to stop it.

I wiped my bloody lip again and walked by her without a single glance but I did hear her dirty comment..

'This is only the beginning...'
