Mia had stayed in her room rocking, crying, and thinking for approximately 2 weeks. She had no shortage of things to cry about these days. Of course she was let out for baths, and the occasional beating, but this was where she was primarily kept. Her back still hurt, but it was healing pretty well. She was terrified now, not necessarily of the guys (Though she was scared of them too), but of Ana. Even when she thought her name, she trembled. Her stomach growled; She hadn’t been fed since yesterday morning.
Her door opened, and Gerard stepped through it partly. “Come on, we’re watching a movie. Now.” He said, returning to where he had come. She got up and followed him through his home. This was her first time seeing the living room. It was large, and blank, like the rest of the house, and the only thing that had any color were the two short couches which were a light shade of brown. One man was on each couch, and Mia chose to sit by Mikey, sitting silently. Gerard grabbed the remote by his side, and pressed play. Two little boys were seen running around in a large, beautiful backyard giggling loudly, manicured green grass and toys surrounding them.
“I’m gonna get you Mikey!” The dark headed boy yelled, running faster after his brother joyfully.
“Mom, help!” The younger boy laughed running to the safety of his mother. Although their mom was not visible, her voice was heard.
“Settle down, boys!” The woman laughed. “It’s time to clean up this mess!” The video abruptly cut off, paused by Gerard.
“That was Mom’s idea of a nice video starring her kids. This, was Dad’s.” Gerard said quietly, starting the next.
The screen was dark for a moment, and then the camera focused on the same two little boys, nude, in a different backyard. They looked scared and confused.
“Daddy?” The younger boy looked at the camera, eyes wide and afraid. “Do we have to?” Mia’s eyes went to the older child who just stood there crying and trembling.
“Do it! Now!” The older invisible man behind commanded. He sounded harsh and overpowering. The boys slowly turned toward each other, and paused. The older boy, Gerard, whispered something through his tears to his brother, Mikey. “Quit fucking around!” The man’s voice boomed. By this point, Mia had tears in her eyes, and as the kids leaned toward each other uncertainly, Mia slammed her eyes shut. All she heard was the quiet sound of kissing, sniffling and the sloppy noises of a man pleasuring himself. The video shut off, and Mia slowly opened her eyes again, looking at them directly for the first time in a while.
“I’m so sorry.” She whispered. Gerard’s eyes were unfeeling and uncaring.
“Don’t be. It’s in the past.” He said simply. “But now, since I showed you something personal that happened to us, I feel as though it’s time for you to give us more information about yourself. How old are you?”
“16.” She said, trying to get the disturbing images from her head.
“Religion?” Mikey asked.
“Agnostic, but lately I’ve been leaning toward Atheism.” She answered.
“Outlook?” Gerard asked.
“Generally positive until recently.”
“Hobbies?”
“Online shopping.”
“Food you think is disgusting?”
“Pizza.”

The Q and A went on for 20 more minutes.
“Alright, that’s all for now. Come here I have a surprise for you.” Gerard smiled his slightly insane smile. She rose from the couch and followed him as Mikey stayed in the living room, flipping on regular TV. Gerard led her up a flight of stairs and into a room that contained a twin sized bed, and a laptop. A really good one, a MacBook. “This is where you’ll be staying from now on.” He announced. My room is across the hall and Mikey is next door to you. Goodnight.” Gerard said, leaving. He left her door open, no locks. It made her paranoid, and exposed so she closed it, and sat on the bed. It felt heavenly, and before she knew it she was asleep.
She awoke highly alert in the middle of the night, struggling to remember what had happened in her dream that had woken her. Nothing came to mind, but she knew it was terrifying. Usually, she liked the dark, but right now… She just wanted Gerard. Despite the things he did to her, he made her feel safe. She tiptoed out of bed and across the hall where her red headed captor slept. She opened his door quietly, and snuck in. She softly laid on his large bed and scooted next to him, trying to sleep again and feeling safe once more.
