The illusion of Hope

7- Tired

While I was desperately trying to force my worn-out body to move

I could hear their steps getting closer and closer to where I was

*thump* thump*

My heart was racing so fast that I could hear it beating...

"Shit...I'm so fucked..." I mumbled under my breath

The cold floor brushed against my face as I dragged myself forward when suddenly a large hand grabbed my injured leg

"YOU MUST COME WITH US!"

Both the woman and the man yelled while the other somewhat bulky man began tightening his grip around my ankle

The excruciating pain made me burst into tears

"AAAAGH!! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! DAMN IT!" I cried out

I bit my lip and tried to sink my cracked nails into the hard ground

Nothing seemed to work as the man dragged me towards him

Streaks of tears started rolling my cheeks as I begged them to leave me alone

'This can't be happening...it hurts so much...why must shit like this always happen to me...-

All of my senses started to blur because of the gut-wrenching pain

I started to feel like I could lose consciousness at any point now...

I was still lying on the floor while the woman was pointing her flashlight at my face

It was hard to see but before my eyes could adjust to this sudden shift in light-

The bulky man grabbed me by the back of my neck and started to drag me towards the gate while the woman and the man followed behind

I instantly grabbed his hand and tried to push it away, I attempted to sink my nails into his hand, and despite the hand being behind my point of view, I could feel a trickle of blood flowing from his hand...

Despite all this, the man didn't even flinch

It was as if he couldn't feel anything...

It was weird certainly but I didn't care anymore

I started screaming at him

"Leave me you son of a **** let me go right this instant!! Who even are you people and why have you abducted me like this!? Let me go you *****"

But my effort was all useless, he was twice the size of me, and seemed to have some sort of absurd grip

I had a rapid realization that with a grip as strong as his, he could snap my neck like a twig if he wanted to...

So I decided to quietly let myself be dragged across the floor and started to think of all the possible solutions to get out of this situation

'I don't have much of a choice anyway! As soon as they shift their attention to something else I'll take that chance to escape!'

But I seemed to have forgotten a very important factor

'Escape? With a foot as bad as this?! I am so screwed'

*sigh*

Since I was deep in thought when I looked around I realized we are already at the entrance of the kitchen
