ALPHA SNIPY– A VALIANT MAFIA LORD

Her face stretched into a frown for a minute before going back to normal. “Your mother if alive would have answered that question but then I slaughtered her like a goat” she laughed. “And you know the sweetest part? She was used brutally by some of the men you will remember soon when they start what they did to you before.”

“Stop!” I screamed but she laughed.

“We are just beginning baby girl. You will only come out of this jail if you testify that you did all you’re accused of. I know you will no matter how stubborn you think you are” she scoffed and blew her gum.

“I’ll rather die than testify to what I didn’t do!” I fired back at her.

“We will see then” she sneered and stood up. “And oh baby girl, I know you will be so hungry. Luckily for you, I need you alive till you testify. So your food will soon be here but I pity you when you don’t testify soonest.”

Tears flowed freely from my eyes and my heart shattered more. “I don’t need your food and I’ll never go against my word!” I cried out.

She laughed and looked at me strangely. “I see you might have hope that your brother will soon wake up but sorry to burst your bubbles and give you this news. I’m also so sorry to announce to you that I’m not sure he will get through today cause the hospital he’s in works under me and for your information, the doctor you met is my boyfriend who I spend your father’s money with while we kill your brother slowly but then if he proves stubborn and survives he won’t even remember his name talk more of remembering you. You will be a past he will never know till I kill him finally.”

She stood up, laughed at me, and walked away but stopped suddenly. “I love my husband and will always do his bidding so torture her till she confesses as he instructed, and also if she still feels stubborn then do as we discussed.”

I watched her leave and cursed the day I met her. The policemen laughed and dragged me up taking me back to the torture room and at that point, I gave my life over to death.

The muscled policemen dragged me inside and pushed me down on the chair so roughly their faces in a hard glare.

“Please sirs my daddy is rich and will pay you both more than she will ever offer you, please let me go. I didn’t do what I’m accused of” I pleaded with them going on my knees.

“Shut the fuck up young lady, we didn’t even ask her for pay. Do you know why? Cause we love what we do!” they scowled at me and I shivered at the impact their words had on my fragile heart. “And you better confess that you did it even though we know you didn’t.”

“You both know I didn’t do it?” I asked them wide-eyed, not believing my ears.

They cackled and pushed me away from them cause I had initially grabbed their trousers. “You haven’t looked at us so well cause if you’ve done that you would have known that we are the same guys that raped you and we wouldn’t hesitate to do it over and over again if you don’t do what we want and I guess from our statement you already know that we are the same guys that raped and killed your mum as you heard from the call.”

“You both know that I saw her answering that call?”

They laughed. “We see everything going on in that house.”

Dread filled me and my head got filled up with flashes of images of that night. How I pleaded with the two men and looking at them now I realized they were the same men that raped me as they just said and everything started making sense to me why my step mum decided to poison me. But then that wasn’t her real plan, she wanted me to get scared and rush to save my brother too then everything will play out as she wanted which is what is happening now. It’s all making sense now and also why she told me thanks before leaving.

They saw my expression and started laughing. “All you have to do is say you did it and we will let you go. You don’t have to be stubborn cause no one is coming to your aid.”

“I’ll never confess to what I didn’t do, you all can do your worst and how do I even know I’ll be released as you all keep saying!” I screamed.

They rushed to hit me but a knock came at the door and a lady whose face was covered in a mask walked in with a wrapped plate filled with food and I remembered my step mum’s words.

The lady without uttering a word placed the food on the ground before me and turned walking away.

One of the policemen followed her and clicked the door locked as she walked out and came back to where I sat.

“Eat so you can have strength for our question and torture session!” he barked.

“I don’t want to eat this trash!” I fired back and pushed the food down.

“You’re lucky that this food didn’t spill on the ground cause it’s still packaged. Now eat before I disfigure your ugly face for you” the other deadpanned.

“I’m not eating” I uttered stood up and was about to go to the door when both held me back and tossed me across the other side of the room.

They removed their belts and started beating me with them.

“Please stop” I cried in pain but they wouldn’t stop.

I already gave my life over to death when I stopped feeling their belt on me.

I opened my eyes to see them struggling with the Queen. How she entered left me wondering cause the door was locked.

“What did this little girl do to you three that you all are bent on killing her?” She growled. “Since you took her from our cell you both have been hitting her and now I just got to realize that you both even did what you’re torturing her for. What kind of humans are you?”

“It’s none of your business murderer. Now leave here before we join you in the beating” they fired at her rushing towards her.

“Try it” the Queen threatened, dragged me up and we walked out into our cell.

She looked at me and there were tears in her eyes and I couldn’t help but stare at the others and they all had tears in their eyes too.

“Why are you all crying?” I asked in confusion.

“We are crying because we all were accused wrongly just as you were and left in this godforsaken jail” aunt Linda answered. “But ours is better cause we are grown-ups but then you’re but a kid and because of that, we won’t allow any harm come to you anymore while we plan for how to escape from here.”

She stared at the Queen and the Queen nodded her head.

They helped me sit and opened the food for me and without my permission had a taste from it to check if it was poisoned which made my eyes glisten in tears. These strangers were all ready to die for me. I was lost in thoughts when the Queen touched me and I turned back to her and she urged me to eat to regain my strength and I obeyed.

I kept wincing while I ate due to the bites from the numerous worms in my tummy cause of how long I haven’t tasted food or water.

I checked the nylon to see bottled water and I downed almost half of it.

I kept glancing at them while I ate and all had smiles on their faces.

I finished eating and they made a little foam for me with their spare wrappers and we all dozed off.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

At exactly midnight I felt the door of our cell being opened and before I could scream two arms grabbed me and rushed out then locked the door with a big iron padlock.

“Let’s see how they will save you now” they uttered and covered my mouth to muffle my screams.
