TRIGGER WARNING!
This Chapter contained depiction of sexual harassment, sexual assault and pedophilia.
My eyes were wide opened as I felt my head throbbing, and groaned in pain. With a strong, metallic smell lingering in the air, I reached my arms to cover my nose and mouth, to no avail. I tried stretching out my limbs, but I found both my arms and legs bound tightly with a rope.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaSAIpSMcR
My hair almost touched the blood-stained stone ground as I pushed myself upwards, hoping I could reach for my pocket knife. Despite a sharp pain in both my shoulders and back, I ignored it, only to let myself hung upside down. Where am I? I caught my breath. What is this place?469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUotF2XvnS3
"Bugsy, is that you?" Nat called out to me. I turned to my right and noticed him, who was also going through the same fate as me. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpLAyEErR
"Nat," I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness we're here. Do you know where we are?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jbw0nZRIF
"Judging by the stench, I think we're in a slaughterhouse."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWqFzvpGXM
My eyes widened as I heard a shocking statement from him. We're being tied up like a cow in a slaughterhouse? This is bad. This is really, really bad. Are they trying to eat us up or something? I hope not. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAW1AixKwI
"Bugs, are you alright?" he asked, noticing a silence from me. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwtyGPqrnx
"We need to get out of here," I answered him. "Where's Cass?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiG8rgXXDx
The blue-haired boy gestured to his right, making me squint my eyes. "Uh, I don't think I can see her."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiTeUB7foG
"Well, I can, apparently."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G3IgO4fYT
I rolled my eyes at his sarcastic comments. "Whatever, is she alright? Is she still alive or is she dead?" 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPH6EHpfNa
"Unfortunately, she's still alive, but she's unconscious, again."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK3itPbot6
"Shit! Looks like we have to carry her by ourselves. What about Gatsby? Is he alright?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQB6a2wH9d
He lifted his shoulders. "For some reason, I couldn't even find him at all. I even repeated his name many times, but he did not answer me, so I guess he's probably somewhere, if he's even alive in the first place"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUetQH4qBML
Okay, this sounds bad. "Alright then, we must get out of here before-"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO5VGdr7IP
The metal door suddenly burst open, revealing a tall figure, who face was covered in a mask that had stitches all over it, which reminded of the mask that the villain wore in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That movie kept me awake at night, no matter how many times I watched it on VCR. The material of the mask looked like human skin that they peeled off from their victims, with dried blood residue on the surface, making me avoid his ice blue eyes.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiH6jgRBHd
Wearing a gray apron and rubber gloves that had bloodstains, he gave me a deadly stare as he looked closer at my face, feeling my cheeks with his fingers. "You look skinnier than our pigs in the barn," he spoke in a deep voice. "I always thought a human girl would be much bigger than the folks here."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOMbhtaXBw
"I can't gain weight, no matter how much I ate," I sneered, as I felt him touching my hair.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1J6Hh7wtH
"You have nice hair, though. It's a shame that your kind have a strong scent, though we could take care of that."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDdcRdjfyt
He moved behind me and squeezed both my rear, much to my dismay. "Your hips are much better than my wife. Perhaps I should keep you around instead of killing you. I'm sure you will bring me a lot of beautiful children."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78pZhDVICG
Okay, what did he say to me? I could bring him beautiful babies? In his little dreams. He's too old for me, and he is creepy as fuck. Does he know that I'm still a minor? Then again, I'm already an adult in The Faerie Kingdom. Maybe being an adult is not what I expected it to be.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNoMDH4QCd
"You're just too beautiful to be slaughtered," he joked, as he untied the ropes around my feet, making me land on my head. "I hope my wife is alright with having a bride much younger and prettier than her." 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelWKbylvGN
"I already have a boyfriend back home," I hissed in pain as he grabbed me by my tunic, making me stand on both feet. "Besides, I'm not even a virgin to begin with anyways."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOZ0AUKKE
"What is virginity anyways? He bellowed, caressing my chin. "In The Faerie Kingdom, we're free to sleep with anyone we desire, even when you have a husband or wife by your side."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Cerdu9wA
Looks like my lies backfired.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TS7lyN9c2
Both of my legs felt wobbly as he poked me from behind with a knife, forcing me to stagger as I walked past Nat, who had his worried gaze fixed on me. "Don't worry," I mouthed quietly, making sure he doesn't hear me. "I'll try to get us both out of here."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtLaAoMyT
He gave a nod as he watched me climb the stairs, with the masked man pointing a knife at me. I felt sweat pouring from my forehead as I twisted the doorknob, which led me to the kitchen. Another masked figure, who was a woman, glanced at me as she was chopping a piece of meat on the chopping board with a knife in her hand. "Is this the human girl that you bragged about?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5xoYL87Xc
"Of course, my love. Isn't she lovely?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8YpBfUJwq
"We'll have to fatten her up if we're going to serve her for dinner," she jabbed her finger on my ribs, pushing me slightly backwards. "Otherwise, the meat would be too lean."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0HeUIHRz2
"Of course, my darling wife," he smiled, noticing him crossing his fingers behind his back, before turning to me and slapped my rear really hard, making me yelp in pain. "Keep moving, sweetie. We don't have all day."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIw7vQ4hls
What the fuck is he doing to me? I'm not his property. I'm a human being, with complex thoughts and emotions. Geez, is it that hard to comprehend? Why do men have to be creepy towards young girls like me, and why do I have to be surrounded by cannibals? Oh, God. Please spare me. Amen469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSbVT1lQmi
I gulped as I was led out of the kitchen and passed by a bunch of children playing with their toys, wearing the exact same mask as the other two. "Who is that, daddy?" one of the boy asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NJrVvqqfP
"Our next meal," he winked at his children, making me gulp. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZF2q11dvM
I squinted at the sunlight shining from above when I was hit again by the man, gesturing me to move faster. I had to comply with his orders for now as I paced myself towards the farmhouse. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7XZFFx7d1
From the outside, the farmhouse was painted in red and the windowpanes were white, just like the ones back in Slaborough, but when I went inside, that's when my eyes widened in surprise. Instead of hay piled on the floor, it was a bare, wooden floor, filled with large cages, which were big enough to fit a person inside. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKjXxRayCa
"You'll be sleeping here, darling," he pointed at a cage, as he unlocked it. "Once I'm finished with my wife, you will have the entire house all to yourself but for now, you'll just have to be more patient."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKHI9ICTJs
Unlocking the black grille, he squeezed me inside the cage and locked them tightly, hanging the keys on a nail. "Don't try to escape, or I will come for ya."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3hoMud1Kp
Before he walked away, he cut the lights in the barn and closed the large door, leaving me all alone in the dark. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPn6s2wM0W
With a ray of sun penetrating through the windows, I felt my breathing heightened as I looked at the surrounding cages. Oh God, what are they going to do with me? I have a bad feeling about this family. I have to find my friends and get out of this place before something bad happens.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Gz04I2Fj
Okay, okay, what did Mr Smith tell you when you found yourself kidnapped by someone? Come on, Bugsy. Think. You were there when the Scout Master explained everything about escaping from the kidnapper. Think, Bugsy, think! You're smarter than this!469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFfKgYnrsi
I scanned the entire barn with both of my eyes, and noticed a stair that led to the top of the barn. Hearing the chicken clucking upstairs, I focused on the keys on the wall, which were unreachable for me to grab. Pretty clever, actually. Well, I'll have to unlock myself out of this cage in this case. I can't be sitting here for too long anyways.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjgzC7yuZ4
Grabbing the padlock that was clamped outside my cage, I grabbed my hairpin and stripped off the rubber knob at the end with my mouth, spitting out on the floor. Bending it into a U-shape, I inserted them into the lock, bending it slightly. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaw57qs0xj
I stick the pin out of the lock and twist in into a loop, inserting it inside the lock. Okay, you can do this, Bugsy. You've done this before during Scouts Activity. You even earned a badge for picking a lock from Mr Smith. You're smarter than this, Bugsy. You know it, don't you?469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIVXXbOQVI
Taking a deep breath, I pushed the pin inside, only to slip from my fingertips. "Fuck," I cussed, as I wiped my sweaty hands on my tunic, before rubbing them together. Okay, you can do this, Bugsy! You can do this!469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO451V1Qyyg
I pushed them inside and turned the pin to the left, only to hear a grinding sound. Crap, that's the wrong lock, Bugsy!469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoa42LN0qb
Breathing in and out, I turned the pin the other way and a lever inside, unlocking the padlock from the cage. I sighed in relief and smiled to myself as I slowly opened my cage, avoiding it from squeaking in the barn.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqACGJkl8H3
Feeling both of my legs numb, I rubbed them with my arms as I left my cage, tiptoeing towards the upper level. Fortunately, the stairs wasn't creaky and old, so I managed to stay quiet the whole time, praying that the masked family doesn't come in at any moment, especially now. I don't want them to ruin my plan of escape.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQdEa8UBxM
The upstairs of the barn was different from down here, with hay everywhere and chickens in their cages, their eggs stacked into a triangle. I could use them, I told myself, as I took a couple of eggs with me, placing them inside the pocket of my tunic. Then, I turned the tap and let the water flow into my mouth, quenching my thirst. I felt a bit of relief as I turned them off, wiping my mouth. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgF7TNIK9k
Tying my hair with a blue ribbon that was on my wrist, I took a peek outside the back window and noticed a large tree, prompting me to climb out. Landing on top of the tree branches, I managed to get down from the tree undetected and sneaked through the back of a horse cart, hiding underneath a long rag, which had rifles inside. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbNl0md7e4
With the gunpowder lying all over me, I opened the weapon and loaded them with both my arms,putting a few bags inside my pocket, Sergeant A'tynn did not teach me how to use a rifle yet but I have to try them out myself, since those asshats stole my pistol and knife. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxKBWuadRX
Before I could walk away, I heard the front door of the house burst open, prompting me to put the rifle down and hi myself underneath a rag, suppressing my breath. Please don't find me, please don't find me! Oh Lord, please protect me from all sorts of evil against me. Amen.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW6kB90mbZ
I closed my eyes for a few minutes and continued to hold my chest, before hearing the door shut from afar. As quick as lightning, I took the rifle and rushed out of the cart. I headed towards the back door, only to find myself in the kitchen, with the masked woman inside. She gave me a death glare as she stopped chopping meat on her board, slowly approaching me. Oops, looks like I picked the wrong time!469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mQSDh7y90
"You brat!" she screamed at me, as she charged at me with the same knife in her hands. Pulling the trigger of the rifle, I aimed at her face, pushing her on the ground. I kicked the basement door with my foot and locked it tightly, hearing the woman pounding her fist against the metal surface. I ran back to Nat and Cassie, who were still hanging upside down. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDKoZtqvyY
"Bugsy," he called me. "Thank goodness you're here."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxlwiNDN0j
"Don't thank me yet," I said, as I placed my rifle down and grabbed a knife on the butcher table, cutting off the rope from Nat and Cass. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a8I3avW1e
As Nat got up, he hefted Cass on his shoulders and chanted in his mother tongue, opening the small window. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPdUXlwCut
"Can we even fit in?" I asked, as Nat climbed on the table. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS8IJoGnH5
"We'll try," he replied. "Now come on, you go first."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjF1ug6dpd
Looks like I don't have any other choices then. Squeezing myself through the rectangular hole, I managed to climb out, only to be grabbed by the masked man by the arm. "Let me go, you fuckface!" I shrieked through my lungs.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomcgC8P4Gb
"Oh, you're not going anywhere, little missy," he glared, pointing his rifle at my face. "You will get back inside that cage and stay there until my wife let me take you in as my bride."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ519LyRg9RP
"No, you will not and also, you are an ugly piece of shit!"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpK9yGDrpL
Before he could shoot, I grabbed an egg from my pocket and let it stuck to the nose of the rifle, making his weapon explode. As he collapsed, I crawled towards the small window and pulled Cassie out of it, along with Nat, but he was pulled back inside by his wife. "Bugsy, help me! I'm being grabbed by a crazy old lady."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJkVmQQBFu
"You're not going anywhere, you brats!" the woman's voice boomed. "I will put all of you on my dinner plate, whether you like it or not!"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVciKH1yj5
Didn't I shot her in the face moments ago? Faeries do have a strong resistance against gunpowder. It'll take a few shots to kill a faerie.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2u5CVdSTU
"You're not taking my friends," I stood up and yanked his arms even harder, forcing the woman to release him. Landing on top of me, he squirmed as he got up, dusting off his tunic in disgust.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOEFRWKSkv
"Oh, you humans are stinky!" he gagged, carrying his sister. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj81kW1O9uF
I took a whiff of my armpits and squirmed. Okay, looks like I'm heading for a shower right after this is all over! Besides, I've been stuck in that slaughterhouse for God knows how long.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG9CCxMmLC
"Whatever, Nat. We need to find Gatsby and Maria. I have a feeling they're still here."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsy80O4jkk
Naey ruoto mutosne quetat," he chanted, teleporting all three of in a bedroom, which was inside the house. We turned to Gatsby and Maria, who were both tied up together on the bed. "Took you long enough," the young woman snarked, as we untied them. "I was stuck with this young man who somehow don't even know how to escape."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHDW9O2hbe
"I'm sorry, okay?" Gatsby raised both of his hands in the air. "I tried my best as the Knight of Moon."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcb7loJLKq
Maria rolled her eyes as she looked at me in a peculiar way. "I didn't know they hired humans now."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSXAXjqeNr
"I guess so," I shrugged, offering my hands. "I'm Bugsy, by the way."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVag11h1Wbg
"You're the first human I've ever met, Bugsy," she shook my hands. "It's nice to meet you."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkRTyVZxdg
She's even more beautiful than her photograph on the front page of the newspaper. She kinda reminds of Aunt Inara back home. No matter how old she gets, both Maria and Aunt Inara seemed to maintain their alluring and youthful beauty. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ389bM7qdT6
"Alright, you two had made acquaintance, now can we please go before those crazies get to us?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrb1NDNXTm
We nodded as we unlocked the bedroom door, only to find ourselves in a dark corridor, with faint echoes and giggling surrounding us. Holding each other closer, we walked downstairs to the living room and headed towards the door, only to be stabbed from behind. "This place is creeping me out," I remarked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCuxU0Tayf
"Yeah," Maria nodded. "That's why we need to get out of this place as fast as possible, yeah?469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKDD769LOQ
Before we stepped outside, I yelped in pain as I turned around and found myself face-to-face with a masked child, who laughed manically. I pushed him forward as another kid pounced from the bookshelf, pointing a knife at my face. Loading my rifle in my hand, I fired at the chest and got up, rubbing my stab wound on my back. Definitely did not see that coming.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP13bg2X7t
Dragging me out of the house frantically, Nat led us to the stable and hopped onto a brown horse, but the masked man grabbed him by the neck, making his face turn blue. "Crap, let me go!"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWTtkcntB2
"You're not going anywhere with my new bride," he growled like a wild animal.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3QfwZuq1
"First of all, I am not your bride and secondly, let go of my friend!" I said, as loaded my rifle and fired a shot at him, prompting him to drop on the ground. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ7ApFm5wb
Letting go of Nat, he finally caught his breath and sat behind me as we rode ourselves out of the crazy family's farm.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2NZNzOvbr
"Finally, we're out of that crazy family," Gatsby cheered, hugging us from behind.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZxxCsutav
"Thank goodness indeed," Maria chuckled along. "Now I can finally get back home in peace."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9tizE4VZ2
"That's great to hear, Maria," I smiled at her. "But this isn't over yet."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qC1zQMaC
"What do you mean, Bugsy?" Nat asked, raising his eyebrows. 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoqQn9eJVi
"As long as that family is still alive, they will continue to kidnap unlucky victims and devour them like wild animals. We must let the Sarge know about this so that he can bring them to justice."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyUpKbhz2D
"I understand, Bugs and we've got your back, no matter what."
