Chapter 21: Escape?

Nudity, FYI



I felt the pain of the client entering me, creating fresh bruises on the ones I already had. I don't know how long I had been down here. There were no windows or clocks to give any indication of what time of day or night it was. Shortly after Leo had given me some heroin, I remember falling asleep. Now I just felt cold and sweaty. My hands were still shackled, causing my wrists to hurt. I cried out as the man on top of me thrust into me repeatedly and he slapped me hard, making my teeth dig into my lip. When he was finally done he threw some cash onto my stomach and finally got off of me. I thought the pain would have stopped after the client got off me, but I was wrong. Leo came over to me and I glared at him, but I couldn't keep my death glare for long because a shot of pain went through my body from who knows where.


I closed my eyes, and legs, putting my arms over my breasts, trying to cover myself up as much as I could so I could feel less exposed. I winced when I moved my hands because the shackles kept digging into them.

"What's the matter, Gypsy? In pain? Would you like me to make it better? I have a sure way to relieve you from it."

"Yes. Make it stop."

Leo went over to the end table, that stupid table that held my pleasure and my pain, and dosed me with another shot of heroin. As soon as he injected it, I became pain-free and relaxed. I knew it was wrong, but nothing was as effective as the drugs. Not long after, another client was having his way with me, but this time I didn't really care because I didn't feel much, and I was much more willing to comply to the client's needs. I felt his weight lifted off of me after he finished and pulled out. I found myself tired and weak from all the sessions. My stomach grumbled and I realized I hadn't eaten anything since my recapture.


I propped myself up on the bed slowly, as much as I could, and braved myself to look at Leo.

"Leo? Can I have something to eat?"

"I don't know, Gypsy. I'm still pretty pissed off at you, but I can't have fun with you if you're dead, so I guess I'll go get you something."


I watched as Leo climbed up the ladder that led to the above part of the brothel. I longed for the days when I was up there, unshackled and not beat up. Even the worst clients up top were nothing compared to the horrors I had to endure down here in the basement. I don't know how many times I had hit my head on the headboard of my tiny bed, been slapped, punched, pressed on in uncomfortable locations, and just abused in general. I felt like I had been here for many days, but in reality, I had no idea how long I had slept for earlier, as well as no idea how many doses of heroin I had taken. As I continued watching Leo, I wondered if I would ever be free of this prison.



When Francis and I walked into the brothel, we saw the usual, neon lights, a bar, a stripper pole, and some couches. There was a tattooed man at the bar who looked like he was the bartender. Francis suggested we get something to drink, sit on the couches, and blend in. We each got a bottle of beer and made our way over to a couch in the corner, observing our surroundings. I tried to remain relaxed like Francis suggested, even though I really just wanted to tear the brothel upside down and find Iliana. There were two women dressed in their underwear around the brothel. One of them came over to us and started shaking her hips, touching her upper leg suggestively, sticking her chest out and swaying in front of us.


The other woman was doing acrobatics around the stripper pole, where a guy with a hat on was whistling and making cat calls at her. Francis and I continued looking around and noticed that eventually the guy with the hat had gotten up and was going over to a ladder behind the stairwell of the brothel. Francis nudged me and gestured with his head, making me look over to see what the guy was doing. He whispered to me that we should see where that ladder went. We both got up and headed towards the ladder, trying to be as quiet as we could. As we got down there we saw the guy who had the hat on, I'm assuming, having sex with someone that was chained to a bed.


When the woman gasped, I immediately clapped my hands over my mouth and turned to face the wall because I recognized her voice. That man was having sex with my wife, and she was chained to the bed in this horrible brothel. Francis noticed my reaction, and he quietly snuck over to the man, grabbing him and pulling him off of Iliana. With lightning quick movements, Francis cut off his air supply temporarily and the man grabbed at Francis' arm, but he couldn't get Francis off of him, and eventually he stopped struggling.


Francis put the guy down behind the curtain that divided Iliana's bed from the other part of the room. He reached in his pocket for something to unlock Iliana's handcuffs.

"What are we going to do now? How are we going to get her past all those people upstairs? She was clearly supposed to remain down here, if anyone sees her, they'll know she doesn't belong up there."

"Shh, Gerard. It's all right. The strippers aren't going to care as much if she's taken away, the only one who will care is probably the guy at the bar. If we can lure him down here, I can knock him out and we can escape. You take Iliana, and hide behind this curtain, while I take care of it."

I nodded, scared out of my mind. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I was sad that we had to draw attention to ourselves in order to escape. I trusted Francis however, so I was willing to put aside my fear, and exchange it for faith that he would get us out of here. I carried Iliana off the bed and went to hide behind the black curtain, further concealing both of us by hiding behind the bed that was on the other side of the curtain.


I cradled Iliana in my arms, looking over her body, unable to stop the tears from falling when I saw how many bruises she had suffered. Her breathing was shallow, and I could tell she was under the effect of a drug. She wasn't asleep, but her body was definitely suppressed, and I knew she had probably been injected with heroin. I didn't think that much time had passed, but I guess I had underestimated the damage that could be done in a short period of time. Iliana already had four needle marks in her arms.

"What the fuck?"

I heard the bartender's voice and guessed that Francis had successfully lured him down here.


"Why are you pressing me against the wall? Are my whores not doing it for you? I can yell at them and make them behave."

"Yeah, this one chick is not doing what I want, she's being really whiny. She's over here."

I saw the bartender walk over, and then Francis hit him behind his neck and shoulder, making him fall on the floor. Francis nodded towards me, and I quickly picked up Iliana and made my way up the ladder, with him following behind me.


I made my way to the top and climbed off the ladder, ready to wait for Francis to come up as well, when I heard a gunshot. I gasped, and looked down, just in time to see Francis fall off the ladder. Shit.

    1. LOL! They're on the home stretch. Gerard's got Iliana, now they just have to get Francis out of the hole, and they'll be all better. Yeah... Leo's greedy, and evil, which doesn't help. XD

  2. No! No! No! Ugh!!!! You're killing me, LateKnight!! LOL!

    So you'll have the next chapter out tomorrow, right? Oh man!! I hate waiting but I'm sure the wait will be worth it.

    I'm so glad they found her! It's horrible that Gerard had to see his wife like that. I hope Francis is okay! Someone just needs to do the world a favor and get rid of Leo.

    Great chapter!

    1. LOL! They're almost there! So close! Haha, Gerard has Iliana now, so plus one for the good guys. :D
      Aww thanks, haha, I really enjoy this story, it just opens itself up for scenarios like this where I can leave things hanging till the next chapter. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
      Gerard's pretty heart broken right now because of the state Iliana is in. Haha, I still don't know about Leo, whether I was going to keep him around or not, that's something I was thinking of, like he's the perfect bad guy, and every story needs a bad guy. As far as we know, all that happened to Francis is he fell off the ladder. Maybe he got shot, maybe the bullet came near him and it caught him off guard so he let go... we'll just have to wait and see. >:D

      LOL, thanks for reading and commenting. :)

  3. I love you and your stories, but you can be a real jerk sometimes! The way you lead us on and build us up and then tear us right down. Keep up the good work. ;)

    1. Aww, thank you. T_T It pleases me greatly that you enjoy my stories so much. :)
      Haha, well I couldn't have their getaway be too easy, or it'd probably be pretty boring, and I can't have that. XD

  4. Ohh nooo! They were so close to getting away, but of course it was just too good to be true.. T_T
    Leo is so conniving and evil, I hope he dies. LOL I want Francis to live, too *cries*

    1. They are on the right path now, Gerard's got Iliana, and although it is still yet undetermined what happened to Francis, we'll just have to have faith that he will survive too.
      LOL, Leo, I will have to decide if I still need him in the story because I need a bad guy or this would get boring real quick. XD He might die later on, I have no idea LOL, since I'm just writing this chapter by chapter.

  5. I should be glad they've reached Iliana again, but all I can think of is poor Gerard actually seeing his wife being raped: that was absolutely heartbreaking! :'-(

    And I hope Francis is alright!

    1. Ahh yeah, it really is a sad, terrible situation. :(
      Hmm yes, Francis... hopefully Leo was a bad shot...

  6. I hope Francis wasn't shot....they should've kicked him or something...or sat on him so he couldn't get up and do anything...lol Idk but Iliana is in such bad condition its just pitiful and I know Gerard probably wants to kill Leonardo....they should because he deserves it but then again that would be kind of mean...they should've injected him with heroin. I'm so upset that there plan for rescue was destroyed yet again but I can't wait to read more when you update ...Please don't quit writing this story...im hooked :)

    1. Here's hoping Leo was a bad shot. XD
      Iliana is in terrible condition, almost unconscious, but at least that was good for them because she isn't in any mood to fight with them and make their escape more difficult. They had enough bad stuff to deal with while trying to escape as it was. LOL.
      Hahaha, I debated about whether Leo should die, but then I'd have to come up with another bad guy, so I think I still need him XD or the story would get pretty boring honestly... LOL.
      Don't you worry, I plan on writing this story until it's completed, and it'll probably be a long, long story. O_O
      Right now, the reason why it looks like there's been a gap in posts is because Echoes of Eternity is nearing the end of Generation 2, and I have been super excited about that, so I've been working non stop on that, LOL. But I do love the shit out of Blink of an Eye, XD and I'm not one to just up and quit or delete anything that I consider good, or that I've gotten such great feedback on. :)

      Thanks so much for reading, and leaving me all these awesome comments. I appreciate it. :)

    2. I like long stories and stories that are generational ....Keep going :) I'm still reading Echoes of Eternity and I'm hooked on that story too lol ...I can't wait to see what direction you go with this story and I must say I love how unique your story line is....It's different and I love that. I also love how dark the story is lol don't get me wrong I love happy stories but dark stories are just so much more fun :) I'm glad you're not a quitter...I was obsessed with this lady's Sims 2 stories blog a few years back and she just stopped writing...I was devestated lol she makes cooking videos now but she never finished her stories but she inspired me to actually write for fun so I guess it is what it is. I thought you stopped responding to comments on this blog...I'm going back and reading them all now :) I like reading your stories especially this one and your beginning for this story at Chapter 1 and how you opened up the whole story and it really made the reader think...."In the blink of an eye......everything can change...Your world can fall apart......or be mended back together..." That was deep lol but yeah keep writing! :)

    3. Hey! OMG your comment made my day, LOL. I've been feeling like shit all day today, and you really gave me a pick me up. Thank you so much. :)

      Good, haha, I'm glad you like long, dark stories... because I do too. LOL. I'm not really a happy ending person, like there will be a little happy strung throughout, but endings will almost always be bittersweet. XD I have a hard time writing happy, if you can believe that. Haha. I just find that writing about death and destruction comes a lot easier to me, ROFL.

      Hmm that's too bad about that Sims2 author, but yeah, like you said, if she inspired you to write, then some good came out of it. XD

      LOL, no I'd never stop responding to comments. Sometimes it may take me a while depending on how busy I am or how shitty I feel, XD but I will always reply. It actually kind of irritates me when authors don't respond. LOL, and I'd never do that to any of my readers. :)

      Thank you! Haha, I was trying out a new little poetry thing with Chapter 1, LOL, I want to try and put a little poetry throughout the story somewhere, I haven't figured out a good place yet to put another one, though. Again, thanks for the kind words, you made my day. :)

    4. That's what I live for...Making other people happy :) I'm glad I made your day without even realizing it lol I just learned about your ending last night with Helena lol I still can't get over that. I'm trying to keep this short but yeah I love reading the comments the authors post...Sometimes they give little hints without realizing it lol. I love poetry...It worked out well in that chapter and I can't wait to see you implement it again. It makes me smile knowing I made someone else happy :) I just realized you have another blog called The Compound...I took a quick glance and saw Absolon in a picture :) I will check it out.

    5. Awww, well thank you again. :) I have loved chatting with you in the comments on here and Echoes, and hopefully The Compound! LOL.
      Haha, yeah, I try not to give hints away in replies, XD, but no one's perfect, so I might slip up every once in a while, sorry. XD
      I hope I can figure out another poem somewhere... Heehee. I've kind of been stuck on the next chapter, so maybe a poem needs to go there, I don't know. LOL!
      I hope you enjoy The Compound! :)

  7. "Shit" is right! Please please please don't be hurt!!! Although if I were Francis, I would have checked for a gun and locked him with those handcuffs. Then I (me, not Francis) would have told the girls to have fun...does that make me evil? Whatevs!

    I hope he's okay!

    1. LOL, yeah, Francis was confident he had knocked Leo out sufficiently, but I guess he underestimated Leo. Every person's rate of staying unconscious is different, haha, and I think having Leo wake up was pretty exciting story-wise. XD
      Hahaha, the girls would have had some fun torturing Leo considering what a dick he is. XD

      Thanks for reading and commenting. :D

      You were lucky that I had already updated with the next chapter, LOL. The next chapter after this one had a huge gap of time between the two, XD I felt bad for the people who were caught up with it and had to wait so long. LOL.
      Again, sorry for the late reply... *grumbles* Technology... sometimes... XD

  11. Dangit! I KNEW he should've killed Leo before leaving! If Leo can sneak into a hospital quarantine & steal Iliana back, he needs to be eliminated! Lol.

    ReplyDelete

    1. LOL! True, Leo does deserve death. However, I didn't have Francis kill him for two reasons, one because it's not in Francis' nature to kill someone since he has spent most of his life upholding the law. That's not to say he's never killed someone in the line of duty before, but in this particular instance, he lured Leo down there and Leo wasn't a threat, so he would have felt wrong if he had just killed him. The second reason I didn't kill Leo off is because I think I still need him as the bad guy for the story. I'm planning on this being a very long story, and I didn't want to kill off my only bad guy so early on. XD
