Chapter 65 - Stay Silent

Tris

I groggily open my eyes to the dim just about darkness of the room. It still seems like the lights get darker every day.

Just like every time I wake up, I check the room just too see that the other cells are still empty. It sends a wave of sadness, fear, yet hope through me every time.

Sadness because I'm lonely without anyone else's presence that won't try to kill me in the room. Sadness that they are hurt somewhere else. Fear that they are dead like David said a while back. Fear that I may never see them again.

I have a small amount of hope though.

A small hope that maybe they've gotten out of this place of hell. Maybe they've somehow escaped.

If they have I'm glad they didn't drag me along.

I'd just slow them down and probably get us all killed.

I turn and rest my head on the bars between my and my mother's old cell. I just wish she was here right now; yet at the same time I don't.

I badly want to prop up against the back full rough cement wall on the backside of my cell, but my leg is still handcuffed to the one bar. Even though the cuffs aren't extremely short, they aren't long enough to let me back that far to the cell.

Suddenly, three men burst into the room. A help of terror escapes my mouth as I scoot on my bottom to as far back of the cell as I can.

The men move fast and it's hard to recognize their faces. I do recognize David though. The other two faces I've seen somewhere in this place, but I don't know their names or where I've seen them.

They unlock my cell and right off the bat the tall one with brown hair knocks me down on my back knocking the wind out of me leaving me gasping for air. I squirm under his rough grip on my arms.

I kick my legs and shake my head and try to move as much as I can to get away from these people. Of course this doesn't even cause them trouble.

The one man grabs my right leg and handcuffs it to the bar next to my left leg. Then he goes up to my head and holds one hand under my chin, the other on top of my head.

I still struggle to breathe from the wind being knocked out of me, along with the panic that fills my body.

Also for the point that the guy with brown hair is basically sitting on my stomach to keep me down.

Then there's David.

My brain tells me to keep fighting; to not stop struggling under their grasp, but my exhausted body tells me to give up and let them do what their going to do; even if it means killing me.

I shut my eyes tight and continue to struggle; every muscle burning in my body.

"Good morning, Beatrice." Is all I hear David say before he gets down my my head. I open my eyes just a sliver and see that he has this extremely long cotton looking thing in his hand, right near my face.

Panic fills me and I struggle against the guy whose holding my head. For once, he struggles to keep my head still.

It's still not enough though. David jams the thing up my right nostril and a whole different new sensation of pain fills my whole body as my limbs unwillingly go still.

After a few seconds David yanks the thing out of my nose and I feel blood gush down my face over my right cheek, down to the floor. David takes a towel from who knows where and holds my nose tight causing a whole new pain to go just through my nose and I let out a long whine I never told my brain to say.

"Ugh. If she bleeds too much then the stuff will come out and this will be pointless." David groans.

Oh my gosh.

What'd he just put up my nose?!

There must have been something on that cotton swab thing whatever it was.

David eventually lets go of my nose and gets up and walks out. Then the one guy lets go of my head, unlocks both legs from the bar and leaves. Then the guy who was sitting on my torso gets up and immediately I scramble to the back wall and lay down, hide my head in my hands and curl up into a ball.

I still feel the guy with the brown hair standing there. Cautiously I move my head and peek out to see him standing there, almost pondering over something.

Terror takes over again that he's planning to kill me right here, right now.

"Please... no." I barely whisper. He hears me and our eyes meet for a split second. He walks out of his door, his boots echoing on the cement floor as he closes my cell door and locks it. He walks out the door to my left and I take note of what his footsteps sound like for the future.

This same thing happens every day for many, many days.

The same three men come in, pin me down, jam some cotton thing up my nose alternating nostrils every other time they do it, get up, leave but the brown hair guy sticks around for a few extra minutes, then leaves.

If my brain would actually allow me to talk, I would snap at him and ask him what the heck he wanted with me; why he'd stick around and basically stalk me for an extra few minutes every other day, but my brain and mouth don't seem to work together anymore.

I also know this guy works for David. David beats me usually if I ever talk.

I don't want to get beaten to death.

"She hasn't talked for two months. The only thing she says is 'please no'." David and an other guy come walking in.

I recognize that guy.

He's the one who did those stupid "files" way back once upon a time.

"Long time no see, Beatrice." The guy says.

I say nothing.

"Have you wanted her to say anything?" He asks probably David.

"Depends. She usually gets beaten because most of the shit that comes out of her mouth is verbal hate anyway and that is not allowed." David says. "I just figured that you should add that too her file."

"How many months since she's said anything other than those two words?" He asks again.

"Since June, so about three months."

"Okay. I'll add it."

I stay sitting against the back wall, taking advantage of not having my leg cuffed to the bar anymore.

"You just continue to stay silent and maybe we won't have as many problems." David mumbles angrily.

I slowly nod.

Stay silent.

That's just the easiest way to live right now.
