Biting my tongue, I smile and walk towards the bar. While I’m waiting to be noticed by one of the Devil’s prospects, another girl approaches me. Her name is Tony and unlike me, she’s not forced to be here. She chooses to stay here, latching onto these men like they’re her lifeline. I have no fucking respect for her. She’s not the only one like that, there’s a few of them the same as her, but there are more girls like me around here. Both sets of women hate each other with a passion.
“Raven,” She greets and I don’t answer. I can’t be bothered to deal with her bullshit. “You think you’re so fucking good don’t you?”
I roll my eyes and laugh. “Yep that’s me.”
“I don’t understand why you’re here.” She sneers, like I have the choice to be here.
“What is your problem?” I ask her.
“Since you got here the Prez never asks for me.” She sulks. “You need to back off.”
“Look Tony, I don’t want to be with Prez. In fact I don’t want to be here at all but unlike you, I don’t get that choice.” I stare her down. “If you want him, take him. I really don’t give a shit.”
Her frown lessons and I think she starts to understand where I’m coming from. Out of nowhere, the man himself approaches us. He looks between us, trying to read what’s going on.
“Come with me, Raven.” He demands and begins to walk away.
“What about Tony?” I ask, trying to offer her instead of myself.
Suddenly he spins around and wraps both hands around my neck, pushing my back against the bar. Everyone is watching and my air supply is dying. “How dare you fucking speak to me like that? When I say come with me, I mean you!”
I begin to choke and my eyes widen, just as I think I can’t take anymore he lets go and I take in a much needed breath. I bend over, coughing and wheezing. Great, that’s probably more bruises to add to my collection.
When I stand back up, Demon gives me a healthy slap across my face and I say nothing. “Get on your knees.” He orders and with embarrassment, I do. “Now, you will follow me on your hands and knees or I will fuck you right here in front of everyone.”
I nod, letting him know I will follow his orders. He looks around at everyone while they watch and they quickly return to what they were doing before. As embarrassing as crawling after him is, I do not want him to fuck me in front of everyone here.
Demon begins to walk away and I crawl after him. The dress I am wearing is really short and I don’t have any underwear on, so my pussy is on show for everyone to see anyway. The floor hurts my knees and when we make it to his office they feel like they’re on fire.
Demon slams the door behind me. “How dare you show me up like that?” He roars. “You need to be taught a fucking lesson!”
He takes off his belt and orders me to strip. Sliding the dress down my body, I wait to see what he’s going to do to me but the belt in his hands is a good clue. Straight away he whips his belt across my legs and I close my eyes. I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself but it doesn’t work. While I have my eyes closed, he whips me again and this time it’s harder. So hard, that I fall to the floor.
“Get up!” He shouts and brings the belt down on my back. I try but while he’s whipping me, it’s impossible. “Get up!” He shouts again.
Eventually he stops and I lay on the floor, totally exhausted. I hear him walk toward the back of his office and I know what he’s about to do. I know he has walked over to his desk where his collection of knives lay. When I look up, he’s browsing through them and thinking which to choose.
“Get on the bed.” He tells me. I struggle to get up, but I manage it. Once I’m on there, I don’t know whether I prefer the whipping or this. He’s slicing my skin again and he favours the marks he created the last time as he reopens them.
There’s a loud knock on the door and Chopper shouts. “Prez!”
Demon roars his disappointment but goes to answer. “What?”
“We’re under attack.” Chopper rushes out.
“Who?” Demon asks.
“I don’t know,” Chopper answers.
“Get Raven back to her room, and make sure the others are too.” Demon orders as he collects his guns and walks away.
Chopper struggles to get me out as fast as he can with my weakened state but we eventually get there. I begin to hear guns shooting in the distance and Chopper curses. When we get to my cell, Andrew is chaining Natasha and Elise back up.
“What the fucks going on?” He asks Chopper.
“I don’t fucking know.” He answers while fastening me to my chains. “Prez told me to make sure all the girls are away and to help.”
