The slaughter house

**Ivery Clark POV**

*Next morning*

I woke up groaning and my head hurt like hell. I couldn't breathe. The air in the basement was thick, damp, choking me.

My wrists throbbed where the chains dug into my skin, the cold metal biting deeper every time I tried to move.

"You're finally awake." Aurelia looked at me amused. That woman - God, she had been so kind when I first met her, like some sort of mother figure - just smiled at me.

I hated that smile now. It was all wrong. It didn't fit the horror of what was happening.

"You... you're a killer, an organ harvester, aren't you ?" I hissed at her.

I waited for her to deny it, to call me crazy. But she didn't. She just stared at me, the truth hanging in the air like a storm cloud about to burst.

"Oh, dear," she said softly, like she was soothing a child who had scraped her knee. "Don't be so dramatic. We prefer to think of it as... giving new life to those in need."

My chest tightened with disgust, I felt like I was going to throw up. She's making me sick. She was trying to justify it, as if taking people's lives for their organs was some kind of noble act.

"You're a monster, you all are greedy degenerate rats! You know what you're doing is illegal and inhumane right!?" I yelled at her, yanking the chains in frustration.

"Oh can someone just shut her up! She's a fucking headache." I heard a feminine voice. My bones chilled when my eyes met others.

Sophia...she was there too.

"You..." I glared at her. How could she do this to me ?

"Yes...me. Did you seriously think I would help you escape safe and sound ? Do I look that stupid to you ?" Sophia let out a mocking laugh.

"Can't you see, you can never escape La eme once you get involved. If I had let you go, Alrigo would have caught you again. I don't want his attention anywhere near you. I hated you, I hate that you were his prized possession when it should have been me." She hissed through her teeth, glaring at me melavolently.

"Wouldn't it be easier if I just kill you and sell your organs? Even if he searches for you, all he'll get is your chopped body. And eventually he'll give up and he'll be back to being mine again." Sophia looked murderous and sinister for the first time that I was in disbelief.

"I'll earn good money selling your organs." Sophia snarled like a mad woman and turned around, "Bring her, let's finish before anymore delays."

"What's the hurry, Sophia. You're just rushing it unnecessarily, why don't you take some break and let me handle it? I really want to take my time and enjoy this." Carlos interrupted her and gave me a sinister look.

"Urgh you and your fetish. Do whatever you want. But don't delay it any longer." She scoffed and walked away with Aurelia, leaving me alone with Carlos.

He was giving me an unnerving look.

"I had taken a liking to you, Ivery. You're so beautiful. I wanted to play with you a little longer, but you had to mess this up." Carlos touched my cheeks, and I felt disgusted.

"Well the least I can do is make you feel good, before you die." He squeezed my thigh looking at me with lustful eyes.

I wish I could chop his hand off my thighs. But then an idea struck me as I looked around.

"Actually to be frank I felt attracted to you too." The words tasted bitter in my mouth, like something foul I couldn't spit out fast enough.

"What? Really? But Sophia said you and Alrigo were a thing." He exclaimed and pulled me close to him. And all I wanted to scratch his face off, but I lied again.

"No, Alrigo can't be compared to you..you're more handsome and stronger. Trust me I want you how much you want me." I said in a seductive voice, stroking his male ego and he looked turned on.

"Fuck...you're a slutty one aren't you ?" He tried to kiss but I turned my head to the side.

"Wait, are you going to do me like this, are you ? Can't you see that my hand hurts. I want to touch you too." I looked at the chains.

He, being oblivious to my scheme, quickly unchained me and in a second he lifted me in the air and threw me to the small bed.

"I'm going to fuck you so hard that you'll forget everything." He grunted as he works through his pants, loosening it.

In the meantime, I quickly get up and pick up a sharp knife near the table and aim at him.

"What the fuck ? What are you doing ? Put it down !" He yelled at me and jumped towards me but I swung it and cut his thigh.

"Ahhh! You fucking bitch !" He screamed, rolling down onto the floor.

Taking the opportunity I ran towards the back door and I exited.

"Fuck, she's running, catch her !!" I could hear Carlos scream from the top of lungs. I saw two bulky men run after me.

*Shit!*

I didn't know where I was, but all I could see was an endless stretch of sand, the ocean waves crashing in the distance.

My feet sank into the soft, wet sand as I ran, each step a battle against the earth pulling me down.

My breath was ragged, sharp in my chest, but I couldn't slow down. I could see the endless shoreline stretching out ahead of me, the vast ocean on my right and jagged cliffs on my left.

There was nowhere to hide. Just open space, the cruel sun already beginning to heat the sand beneath my bare feet.

I glanced at the water, the waves churning, but there was no escape there either. The sea wouldn't save me. It would swallow me whole.

My legs were shaking, muscles screaming with exhaustion, but I kept pushing.

The sun was higher now, the light glaring off the water, almost blinding. Up ahead, I saw the faint outline of rocks jutting out from the shoreline, sharp and jagged like teeth rising from the sand.

The rocks were only a few yards away now, and I lunged toward them, my breath ragged, vision blurring from the effort.

But then from far, my vision caught an expensive car and men in expensive suits. Out of all men, one man stood out the most.

Alrigo Valerie King. He was here. And he looked like he was out here with someone for business.

"Just stop right there bitch !" Someone yelled from behind. No, I can't let them catch me !

It's better to get caught by Alrigo than those damn organ sellers ! I don't want to get slaughtered like some pig. I want to live, I want to see my parents, my hometown.

"Alrigo!" I screamed running towards him, successfully gaining his attention.

"Ivery...?" His deep voice grated my ears. He looked stunned for a second but then, his features turned rigid.

Alrigo gripped my elbow and pulled me to him, that I almost stumbled. His expensive cologne evades my nose, attacking my hazy brain. I can barely think straight.

"You...how the fuck you got here ?" He literally growls in a low audible tone, I gulp involuntarily, a surge of fear so strong, it rattles me.

But I need to do this for survival.

"Alrigo please save me. Please take me with you, I'll do anything you say. Please, they will kill me." I cried out holding his hand.

"They are monsters who slaughter humans for their organs. I don't want to die. Please save me !"

"You, how did you get here ? You ran away from the mansion..." He growled angrily.

"I'm sorry, okay ? I was wrong to leave the mansion. Please help me this time, I'll do anything you say please !"

"You little bitch ! You dare run away from us. Come back here this instant !" One bulky man yells surging forward towards me.

Alrigo looked at him amused.

"Excuse me sir, do you know her ?" One of Alrigo's clients questioned.

Alrigo smirked and leaned forward to my ears and whispered, "You wanted to escape from me, isn't it ma bella ? You wanted freedom."

"Well, I'm giving you the chance now..." In a second Alrigo pushed me forward towards those goons, taking me off guard.

"Nope, I don't know her." Alrigo said nonchalantly, drawing shudders deep within me.

*What !??*
