Chapter 7

Day 20

Sunday

1000 Hours

The first thing Kal saw when he opened his eyes, was a big blurry bowl. The next thing he noticed, was his angry stomach. Kal grabbed up the bowl, chugging it down. He still felt hungry afterwards, but some food was better than none. Kal moaned, rubbing his back and pelvic area.

"Hurts so much..." Kal mumbled. The door creaked open and Aaron stepping inside.

"Can I have an aspirin or Tylenol or something? Please?" He asked.

"Do you think I hurt you just so you can waste my medicine?" Aaron crossed his arms, walking up to the Kal.

Kal sighed, falling back on his back. He yelped, remembering what happened last night a little too late.

"Why, does it hurt?"

"Mmhm."

"Well boo-hoo to you. You could of been hurt a lot worse than last night for that." Aaron frowned.

Kal glared at the other. "Worse? How can anyone do worse than what you did?"

"I could have used a knife. I could have slit closer to your heart. I could have slit deeper. Many ways I could have made it worse. You need to open your eyes boy."

1400 Hours

Kal was shoved inside the shower, and fell. Everything came tumbling down, but his kidnaper didn't bother to pick it up. When the warm water came, he felt everything burn and itch. All the bruises, all the scrapes, and all the newly made wounds.

"Ow!" Kal pushed himself as far away from the water as possible.

"It hurts? Get over it!" The other pushed Kal towards the water, then made it hotter. Kal whined, backing away again.

"Get the fuck in the shower!" The man shoved him right under the water. By now the mirrors were fogged and it was really warm inside the bathroom. Kal whined and whimpered some more. Aaron slapped him.

"Stop it!" Kal rubbed his cheek catching some tears.

"Stop? You want me to stop?" His kidnapper frowned, putting the water as hot as it would go.

"Yes – OW! – Stop! Please!" Kal backed away, only to be shoved again. He slipped and fell on his butt, and yellowed out in pain. He hurriedly scampered out of the water's way and looked up at his kidnapper.

"The more you goof around, the longer you'll be in here." Kal's skin was beginning to turn red.

"Please, it hurts! Kal attempted to back away, and was slapped again. He began sobbing.

"Pick up the soap, and clean yourself!" Sniffing, Kal reached for the soap. When he touched it, it burned. A yelp escaped his lips.

"Please! Just let me out!" Kal began to step out, but his kidnapper shoved him back in the tub, making a heavy thud sound. He began sobbing. Kal phased out, and soon the man was scrubbing him himself.

Day 23

1600 Hours

Kal was chained in the basement again. "Why?" Kal screamed. "Why can't you just kill me already?!"

Aaron flipped the magazine. "Shut up, or I'll gag you as well as blindfold you. Then I'll rape you three times over and throw you in the river," He said nonchalantly.

"No! Please, I'm just fed up with all of this! Can't you just give me a break? 3 days of nonstop torture. I'm sorry okay? It was wrong of me to try to run away. I just—I'm sorry." Kal yanked the chains as hard as he could to no avail.

"Stop." Kal only continued. The man got up, tossing the magazine to the floor. He went to the back of the basement, in a closet and came out with two rags. Kal let out a whimpering sound as soon as he saw it.

"How many fucking times do I have to tell you?" His kidnapper walked over, blindfolding Kal first.

"Oh yeah? Well I'm just as fed up with you than you are with me," The other rag was then tied around his mouth. A soft kiss on his cheek was placed.

"Is my little kitten scared? Does he want some sex to calm himself down?" The man kissed his cheeks again, then trailed his tongue down his neck. He heard Kal begin to try to scream through the rag.

"What's that? You want me to go rough on you? Well, I'll try." His kidnapper's hand gazed down Kal's chest until it got to the jean button. As soon as he unbuttoned it, Kal started screaming again, panicking.

"What now?" Kal only got screamed again.

"Listen, you little shit, you better shut your mouth, or worse things will happen!" Kal quieted down and a hand reached down pants. He started screaming again and was slapped once more. His kidnapper tried again, but Kal only screamed again.

"That's it!" The man unchained Kal, making him fall to the ground. Then stripped him. Kal was screaming and sobbing relentlessly, trying to escape multiple times.

His kidnapper grabbed Kal by the hair, dragging him to the closet. He tied his hands with the rope behind his back. Kal continued to scream and sob through the gag. The blindfold was soaked with his tears by now. He dragged the boy by the hair again, this time upstairs and to the kitchen, stopping in front of the stove. Kal had quieted down while going up the stairs, but he was still sobbing and sniffing a little.

His kidnapper grabbed a small knife, and turned on the stove. A clicking noise followed by the sound of flames immediately sent Kal screaming again, this time as loud as he can. He tried escaping, but his kidnapper yanked him back in front of the stove, only closer.

"Shut the hell up! The man grabbed Kal tight around the biceps and stuck the knife in the fire. Kal was slowly calming down, realizing that there was nowhere to escape to, even if he did escape the fire.
