A Year In Hell Revised Vol.

A Year In Hell - Oliver Rex ( Revanth R )

Four years is a long time . You might think it is not , but trust me it definitely a long time . I was sixteen when my mum remarried again . Before that my life was a basic American fantasy . Mum and Pa would take me to the zoo every month and to pizza every weekend . But all of that was gone in a flash . My dad died in a car accident while he was returning from office one day . My dad died when I was fourteen . I pulled myself together , but mum would be sad and gloomy all the time . It was like she had forgotten how to be happy or smile . She would work at home , always staring into her laptop . She would occasionally lock herself up in her bedroom and weep . I would anxiously wait outside the bedroom door hoping that she wouldn't do anything stupid . Some days she would not even make breakfast . Hi , I'm Cathy by the way . Two years of therapy and a year of rehab is the reason I am interacting with you like this . My mum was all gloomy till she met Warren in a bar . He was a businessman. Not big nor small , troubles came seldom at his work , or so he had said . Ever since he moved in , I felt something strange about him . He gave out signs that I am not supposed to be a part of the family . He would ignore my conversations , avoid any as much as possible . He stopped taking me to the movies and trips . He would say no if mum asked him about it . He would say that he had already made two reservations with all the money he had saved . He would not even drop me at school . I gulped down all the anger and insult , just because he made mum happy again . Compared to what I'm feeling , mum's former form was much more worse . Two years passed , as I turned eighteen . My stepdad seemed unusually happy that I was eighteen . Perhaps he thought I would eventually move out .

Mum had gone out serving cake to all her poker friends . I went up to my room to unbox all my presents . I placed all of them in my desk . I tried to search for my scissors . As i browsed through the endless realm of stationery and junk , I heard the door slam shut behind me .
It was my stepdad . " Why are you here ? " , I asked him , trying not get creeped out by his never-fading smile . " I'm here to congratulate you on your eighteenth birthday . " he said as he slowly cornered me near my bed's headrest. Now I knew something was totally wrong . " Now hold still like a good girl.... "
I dove to the side and rolled over to the other side . He tripped and fell on the bed . I slammed the door shut and ran out as fast as I could , only to be pointed at with a tazer . I heard a loud crack and fell carrying a painful amount of electricity with me . My vision blurred . The last thing I saw was Warren and the last sentence I heard was " She is quite exquisite . Wrap her up . "

" Cold..... Thirsty..... Water . " were the first words that escaped from my mouth involuntarily . I try my best to wake myself up from this coma . I sit up to find myself in a prison cell , or more like dog lockers . I look around . Concrete walls with space enough for someone to stretch their arms and walk in a small circle . I peered out of the bars to find hundreds of other people . There were many adjacent cells . The place looked like a Walmart for types of people to choose from . I realised my arm was on fire ; But that wasn't the place the tazer shocked me . I checked my arm to find a branding , like a cattle brand , with number 958732 on it . I realised , how many people were in here . I quickly checked the rest of my body . I then heard two men speaking as they got nearer .

" New stock , eh Midas ? "

" Yep , fresh from the harvest , sire . "

" If I had my hands on one , I'd be havin' a time of my life , mate "

" But you know Ray , that what we do is strictly professional . They are not meant for your sleaze . "

" Sire to sleaze , is a quick turn , mate . "

" Stop using the damn accent ... And shut up ! "

The guys were too jolly in this hellhole . I knew these guys were sick. They laughed like they had no problems in their life . The echo gave me an insight to how big the closure was . It was huge . My rough and wonky calculations told me that it has to be as big as a football field . Dim sunlight poured out of a ridiculously high ventilator . The cell was unusually sanitary . Every nook and cranny was clean . No dust whatsoever . Just then I noticed my side table . It had bottled water and fresh fruit . I was now thoroughly confused . I tried to move when felt something in my vagina . I pulled it out . It was a mobile phone . I looked around then switched it on . A message from Warren .

" Cathy , I'm sorry for what I did and I'm sorry for your suffering . I did not mean it , had to but done at least for your mum's sake . I know that a sorry is not enough for what I did to you . But I wanted to tell you that , the price you pay is a lot , lot less than the actual plan that was forwarded to me . My mission was to kidnap you guys by gaining your trust . I had never done this before . The reason I an doing it is for the money . I was down to my last fifty bucks when I took this damn job . It all turned around after I met your mother . I fell in love for the first time in my life . Cathy , I love you too but their initial plan was to use both of you together as sex dolls . I have the idea of hell the people who got into that went through . It is every day by more than 100 men . I just ..... I just had to tell the lie that your mum had cancer , but for you they already had your medical record from your school . I love her dearly and as soon as we settle in some other country , I'm going to come for you . Now I have to say this but your schedule is only once a year . Now the important thing is , every Friday is Wi-Fi day . So you can access it on Fridays . Use it after 10 pm . You can use it till 2 am . No one cares about who uses it or not . Contact me privately on twitter . Use a fake name . The phone has a solar charger on the back . Place it on the fire alarm light just above the jail gate . Sunlight falls there most of the time . Since It's solar it need the whole week to charge it to half battery .
Cathy , I love you and I will come for you . I will pay you my debt , even if it means my life . "

I did not even know if I could trust him . After that haunting smile ... I did not have any other choice . I could not think straight .

I start to hear footsteps . I quickly slip the phone back in . It was the only place .... I waited for ten minutes . As I turn around to inspect the phone , a high pitched , raspy voice booms in my cell .

" Well , well ..... What do you think she is doin' mate ? "

" Darling , don't bother to check you genitals . You are not going to be sexually violated . "

" But he din' say about not violating only . Guess what lass , your gonna do torture porn ! "

" That's right lass , you get ta do it once a year ..... Rest of the time you recover , your nothing but toys to use..."

They both turn and walk away , laughing like madmen . My stomach started to push god knows what out of my body . A loud buzz cut me out from my trance . A huge fat lady came in opening the barred door .

" Food miss..... " She said . I was taken aback on what the hell was happening . Was she being sarcastic ? Was she really respecting me ? " I...I..." I tried to ask her something when she cut me off " I'm sorry for what you are about to go through . Most of the people die here . I've seen people eat slime and algae and even dust to get sick , so that there would be no torture porn for them . Since then they started keeping the cells clean . Crazy freaks . "

" Then why are you here ? " I finally managed to ask . " I was one of you . I came up with this idea and luckily my sickness was not fatal like the others . I can't do torture porn because my blood won't stop if I have a wound . So they switched me to cooking.".

The woman seemed nice, but I knew she had been in my shoes before. Before I looked up she was gone. she left me but with a million questions. How can l escape? Can l ? How long till my turn comes? Will I die? I needed answers and I needed them fast.

It was a long , long wait for it to be midnight , I could finally contact my stepdad , since it was Friday . I looked around and then pulled my phone out . Dad was already online . Perhaps he had been waiting for me .

" Dad ! You there ? "

" Yes Sweetie , i am here . So what info did you gather ? "

" Found a cook who serves food , was a former victim . She kinda still is . She is forced to cook . "

" Well , that is a great deal . She might be able to bust you open . "

" She might have a way to get out , but if she did , she will be gone already . I will ask . Dad , I need some questions to be answered . "

" Sure , go ahead but your sure , no ones around . They actually put a guard once a month . He only stays for his duty for a day . He does make a lot things harder , so lookout for him . "

" I checked . But now tell me , when is my torture day ? "

" You have been branded , right ? So the first and the last digit gives you the date . Given so that they could confirm the dates . "

" Dad , It's the ninth of February. That is almost a year further . "

" That is damn lucky , I'll come there and bust you out , even though it means my life . Since you have time stay put . Don't make much trouble . Trouble once here and there will keep you in safe zone . So Cathy , hang in there ."

" I hope you come sooner Dad . I don't want to spend A Year In Hell . "

Just then I hear a huge clang on my cell gate . " Midas has got you now , Bitch ! "

The guy almost tore down the gate as he came in . A huge surge of pain in my head made me stand up . The guy dragged me by my hair . I couldn't do anything but do what he said . I was caught now , I couldn't imagine what the monsters here had in store for me . Two other guys held me as i struggled helplessly in their clutches . One of the perverts tried to make moves on me . I kicked him in the only spot that ensured he would stop , only to repay the debt with a punch to the face . I could feel warm blood dripping down my lower lip but I couldn't feel the upper one . As we climbed the stairwell , I observed that I have been three stories underground . I smelt the sea and heard the waves as an open window revealed where I actually was . But that's the least of my worries . The monsters took me in an elevator . There were twenty floors . Apparently this was a business place . I was taken to the topmost floor where I saw a man in a high , office-chair . The guy was old and had a very stern look . I figured as he talked to the other monsters that he was a cunning and a clever man . That fit perfectly well with his actual name , Mr Fox .

One of the maniacs bought in other kids . Apparently there were more rule breakers like me . I did not know what was going to happen . I did not want to look into that fact , the very idea made my hands cold and my heart race . There were four more teens like me . I wondered what they had done . As we stood in silence , a buff guy came to Mr Fox's office table and whispered something into his ear . Mr Fox stood up and stared at each one of us . A guy with a business suit and a file came in and announced our numbers . I was third in line . I shook like a palm tree stuck in a hurricane . The first guy was high on his ego and cussed a lot , so he was sent into the most humid and suffocating cell - Cell 1300135 , or so the suit n' tie guy informed . The girl before me had screamed way too much and couldn't make a sound at all now . She got out of torture porn and into services . She had apparently struck off her number and wrote Emily under it . I kinda knew how she felt , people have tried to tell me who i am and who i should be .
Now it was my turn . I couldn't stop shaking . All thoughts i had were no longer powerful enough to hold my fear . I knew these monsters had no heart . The suit guy started to talk like a basic butler .

" Mr Fox , this little one had concealed a phone in her private part and had been contacting her parents . "

" But Code Warren is supposed to handle this . Are you saying , Code Warren is playing us ? "

Mr Fox said with a bored tone . " I'm afraid so , Mr Fox . I suggest termination of Code Warren and a Status : Vac for subject 958732 . "

The butler turned to me .
" Permission granted . " Mr Fox waved his hand as if he had lot of other stuff to do .

" Okay , then . 958732 , you will have your sessions once for three months , starting next week . I suggest you go to sleep and get some rest . Your big day next week . "

Midas , suddenly jerked my hand and dragged me back . I resisted but there was no use . I did not know what to feel . I couldn't imagine how hard it was going to be . I wasn't able to sleep at all . I didn't notice it was the next day . Midas threw an envelope containing two papers . I opened it up , not expecting what it was , and then i froze as tears flowed like a river but not a whelp came out of me . There were two photo papers , each contained four pictures . One contained my stepdad killed and his guts strewn on the couch . I now knew for sure that my stepdad tried to help me . The second i dared not to look but i couldn't fight it . It was my mom being raped by 7 guys at a time .
After that , everything was a blur . Some of my cellmates said i bruised my hand trying to break the bars . Some said i was even sent to room 1300135 . I did not remember anything of last 5-6 days . As i tried to remember , Ray came in and stood right in fronta' me and whispered , " Baby... It's Showtime ! "

As Ray dragged me and Midas pushing me , I did not feel anything for I was too busy thinking , " Why were they moving me ? . " As I approached drills and machines and another person with a lot of blood on his body , which made me think it might be his natural skin color . The memories which I lost flooded in like the apocalypse of the past . I started to resist , but the two assholes were too strong . They lifted me up and tied me to the bed . I was in my undergarments only by the time they strapped me . A lean person with a doctors mask and gown , called himself Doctor .

" This is going to be painful , but I don't care as long as you are screaming , as long as you live . Everything else is none of my concern . He had already did some work and I was next in line . His blood - drenched doctor suit glistened as he switched off all the other lights , except the one above my dentist chair . I tried to break free but nothing works . I knew what was coming and I did not like it.
He started slow , or so he said . He pierced needles in my fingers , then started to cut my arms , slowly . He used a blade to cut each of my fingers , over and over . Remember the slicer used to slice potatoes to make chips? That was how he continued . After a god knows what period of agonizing pain , i couldn't feel my fingers . He then started the drill and drilled my arms . He went to the thighs with a serrated knife . Each cut gave me a pain that would grow exponentially . You know paper cuts right ? First they don't hurt at all , then the pain multiplies . That was my situation , only on a whole new level . As the show went on , I passed out . The sick bastard slapped me till I woke up and started again . Eventually I couldn't feel anything . The monster stopped as I couldn't even muster the energy to see how much blood I lost , so much that I couldn't have the energy to scream . They had no use for me now , or at least three months . I couldn't think how to recover . Instead all I saw was my mom . Tortured by those assholes , Dad's guts all over the couch . Those images never left my mind .

As the Doctor did his work , my mind slowly drifted to the days on my backyard and parties with my friends . All the happy thoughts started to flash in fronta' me . I did not realize I was dreaming .

They said I was unconscious for a week . The girl who lost her vocal chords , tried hard to communicate with me . After all she was my nurse .
The pain was agonizing , I was in and out of anesthetics for two weeks or so they said . I had developed friendship with the girl who couldn't talk . She wrote down her name . It was Ashley . Ashley was a great listener .

For hours she would draw stuff on paper and talks to me . She was a really great artist . Despite her inability , she did not feel trapped because we had each other . She went to art college . She said that she was kidnapped as she left a late night party near the woods . It was scary that anyone could be the victim to these monsters . Ashley seemed like a polite and understanding person . She still has issues with anger and her boyfriend broke up with her or so she said . Why am I telling you all this you ask ? I have remembered these by heart because every time I was harvested , I would think of my friendship and happiness with her . I knew that after three hours of hell , there would be twenty days of joy .
One day I came up with an Idea . An idea that would set us free . I don't want to tell all the details , but the basic idea was that , the lunch lady knew the escape route , she would leave the cell gate unlocked and we would escape . That night , the lady brought a rock and lodged it in the gate while leaving . It was stuck between the cell gate making it look like it was locked . My heart started racing as it was time to leave . I did not care that I was bleeding through my bandages . I did not care that my body would take more damage because all i could see was freedom . Freedom from this hellhole . I did not look back as I dragged my feet to the stairs . The Lunch lady knew that on off nights , the guards watch their football game . It was almost too easy when a guy from inside called out .

" Who is there ? Brad go and check that real quick . "

I quickly hid behind a table . The lunch lady collected herself as a guy apparently Brad appeared as he opened the door .

" It's just me sir ; Angela . " she said as if nothing was wrong . Ashley entered and asked the lunch lady what was wrong . That made the guard believe her . We started to jog our way out the back door . It was night so we could sneak to the boundaries . However the worst part is that we have to climb the wall . The lunch lady said that she dug a hole near the most remote part of the wall . Apparently these guards are smart enough to guard the shortest walls . We got out . I couldn't stop crying . We saw many lights and fences on the land side so we had to swim a bit further .We hid behind rocks and as the seawater touched my feet , they started to sting like a jellyfish sting . Guess my wounds did not heal that well . As we made our way to the ocean , Ashley behind me fell face first to the ground . I asked her what was wrong she did not reply . It took me a while to notice the hole in her head and a gun to mine .

It's been 3 years since I first stepped out of there . Apparently , there was a wandering fisherman who got curious and witnessed my friend's murder . I have been to rehab for two years . I would unconsciously hurt my self . Guess the crazy finally got to me . I don't remember anything after Angela and Ashley's death . But I do have nightmares about it .

" Last week I got a letter anonymously . It read , ' WE ARE NOT DONE WITH YOU ' . So Officer , is this enough to provide me with some protection ? "

The Officer smiled and said , " No one will believe you if you told them , like this . In fact no one will ever believe you . "

" Officer please ... I'm am not joking . I have been checked with a Psychiatrist . Officer please... I am NOT lying . "

Officer rose from the chair .

" Oh I know your not lying ma'am .... It's just ... We are NOT done with you . "
