Raelynn's pov:

After catching my breath, I started to look for Natalie. While looking, we reached the danger zone that I mentioned earlier.

"What in the fuck," Kyson cursed as he looked through the first window. The first room was worst than the others, it had chains, knives and all sorts of weapons.

"That's the reason why I didn't want Theo to come with us," I said as I walked to the second door. I peeked through and my eyes landed on her, on Natalie.

"She's here," I stated before opening the door. They don't lock the door because usually the girls inside these rooms are too weak or too scared to get out. If they try to get out, they are served to men who will eventually kill them after taking advantage of them.

I walked in and the three girls looked up at me. Natalie was in the middle, sitting on the hard ground with only a glitter silver dress and heels. There was no strap on the dress and it was short. There was smudged make-up on her face, her neck was red, her skin was pale and there were marks on her arms.

She was skinny.

Their eyes landed on Kyson behind me, and they all moved frightened, pressing their skin against the cold wall hiding their face.

"Nate, it's me," Kyson said in a soft tone as he walked further in. Natalie hides further in the wall.

I put my hand up, signalling Kyson to stop. I walked to Natalie and kneel in front of her.

"Hi Natalie," I said softly. She peeked through her hair.

"Your brother Theo send me here," She moved her head up at the familiar name of his brother.

"T-theo?" She repeated, her voice cracking.

They don't feed the girls regularly.

"Yes Theo, we are here to bring you back to him," I told her. She stared at me, probably hesitating. I put my hand forward and handed her Theo's jacket.

She hesitantly picks it up and pulls it closer to her. I watched as she hug it, and a tear rolled down her cheeks.

"Theo," she whispered.

"Let's go to him," I said and she nodded.

I stood up, helping her. She wobbled, nearly falling but I caught her. I helped her put the jacket on before wrapping her arm around my neck for support.

"Come on you two, let's get out," I said, looking at the two other girls. Both girls shook their heads no.

"They are sold, I'm next," Natalie murmured.

"No, you won't be." I instantly told her.

"Can we help them?" I heard Kyson ask.

I shook my head no, "Being sold here means if any of those girls are seen alone on the street or anywhere with other men other than their owner, they will be shot to death."

I let out a sigh.

I hate this fucking place and its rules.

"Let's get out of here then, Val found only two other girls," Kyson told me.

"Hey! You!"

We turned to the side to see a guy running toward us. Since I was holding Natalie, Kyson went to handle him. The guy throws the first punch, but Kyson blocks him. He punches the guy in the face making him stumble back. He punches him a few more times before the guy lay on the group unconscious.

We walked out as fast as we could, which wasn't as fast as Natalie was weak. We meet up with Valentino in the corridor. The two other girls looked in better shape than Natalie, they could walk without any problem.

"Nate..." Valentino whispered, looking down at her with a sad expression on his face. She turned around, hiding her face.

"They touched her, didn't they?" Valentino asked angrily.

Natalie nodded.

"She'll only be comfortable with Theo," I spoke.

He nodded.

"Dude why are your lips red?" Valentino asked making me snap my head to Kyson's face. Indeed, he had my lipstick on his lips. I didn't notice it earlier as he didn't look at me.

"Nothing," he replied dismissively, wiping his lips.

We made our way out through the backstage of the bar, getting a lot of looks from the strippers who were taking a break. They got a glare from me and they were back to minding their own business.

We reached the elevator.

A few guys stepped out and they looked at us and the girls. They lunges to attack and I walked backwards, protecting Natalie. The other girls remained behind me. A few punches here and there and the guys were unconscious on the floor.

We walked into the elevator and went to the ground floor where their cars were. In the elevator, Kyson informed Theo that we were going down and he told us that he was coming.

I helped her to their car.

We didn't have to wait for too long before Theo run out of the main door. I pulled away from her and let his brother suffocate her with his warm hug, and I know she's loving every second of it.

Ryker stood by my side.

"Was she..." he trailed off.

"Yes," I whispered.

"Oh God," he whispered back looking at her.

I wrapped my arm around his torso, side-hugging him. I know he must be thinking about Anna right now and maybe one of my hugs might help him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, squeezing it.

"Thank you," Theo said turning his head to look at us.

"Take good care of her, she'll need it," Ryker said and Theo nodded, understandingly.

Did Ryker tell him about Anna?

"We still have your mother locked in her bedroom," Jace stated beside me.

"I wish we could do more than just lock her there," Ryker added.

"Her loyal dogs will get her out, we should get back to work," I spoke.

"True, plus she has her toy with her right now. I don't think she minds being locked." Jace added.

"But he will regret it once she transforms into Cruella," I said making both of them chuckle.

"We also need to free all the other girls and make this place a little more messy and choas." I pointed out.

"Count me in," Ryker agreed.

"We'll get going, thank you," Kyson said, gaining our attention.

"No problem,"

His eyes landed on me and he stared at me for a solid minute before removing his gaze from me and getting in the car.
