Chapter Text
I lay on the bed. My heart races in my chest. The tears have stopped. Vox lays next to me, breathing softly.
He’s facing towards me and im facing away from him. I curl in, trying to make myself small.
My whole body aches, and i feel so weak, like ive been carved out. Vox shifts and i flinch, but realize he’s still asleep.
How can he sleep after that? I may never sleep again. I’m unbound, no ties or cables holding me in this bed, just fear. I flex my hand and wince, forgetting i had clawed my palm to shreds while vox was, while he was… fucking me.
I lift my head off my pillow to see if vox will react. He doesnt. I push myself up to a sitting position and plant my bare feet (hooves?) on the floor, an inch from the pile of vomit.
I stand up, pulling the blanket around my bare body and glance behind me. He’s still asleep. He look almost peaceful.
I walk around the bed to the other side searching for my clothes. My face burns. They’re gone. A tear slips down my cheek.
I walk towards the door and open it, walking out. I walk the endless stretch of glassy blue halls, heels clicking until i reach a door. I knock. Velvette will probably be nicer than val at least.
The door swings open and i see velvette staring up at me, phone in her hand. Her eyes widen as her eyes flicker up and down over my body.
“That shithead. Come on in al”
i step into her room, a bright pink flashbang of a room, mirrors everywhere.
“Sit down babe, i’ll get you something to wear”
i nod and sit down on a random pink couch. Vel searches random drawers in the 12 dressers in her room until she reaches on that satisfies her and she chirps in approval.
“Here we go! Don’t ask why but i had this made for you a while back. It’ll fit you perfectly!”
I look over at her smiling and sheepishly smile. She’s holding a rose pink suit with flowers embroidered in stripes, with a matching bowtie, button up and pants, along with shoes socks and underclothes.
“Thank you?”
I say a bit uncertain. She walks over and plops it on my lap. I stare up at her and see barely concealed rage. I flinch and get up quickly.
“Is there a bathroom”
i say quietly, almost a whisper.
“Down the hall to the left”
i scurry down the hall and turn, and then press myself against the door, heart hammering in my chest, hand directly over my heart to feel it race. What did I do to make her mad? My ears are pinned flat against my head, and i start shaking again, tears falling. I cant believe i already made her mad, I thought she would be some repreive from the other two but i already screwed it up.
I turn around and open the door into the bathroom. Its also bright pink, with makeup and skincare scattered about. A shower to my left, a toilet to my right and a wide counter in front of me. I stare at my face in the mirror. Streaks of black run down my face and my hair is horrendously disheveled.
I drop my blanket and flinch as my body comes into view. Bruised cover my body where cables wound around me, and streaks of dried blood down my side from when he grabbed me. Blood down my arms and covering my hands from hurting myself.
I walk over to the shower and turn the knob so boiling hot water rains down. I step under the stream and wince as hot water stings my wounds. I grab a random bottle of soap and pour some onto a rag. I scrub every inch of my skin until i’m bright red, and bleeding even worse, in new places.
I grab my stomach and sink to the floor, sobbing and choking, hot water still pouring over me. Suddenly the door clicks open and i jump to cover myself and pin myself into a corner, shaking. Velvette takes in the scene and her eyed soften.
“Oh honey.”
She walks over and turns off the water and crouches in front of me. I turn away, cheek pressed into my shoulder and eyes downcast, embarrassed. She looks at me, eyebrows up turned and eyes soft.
“ it’s okay al, i’ll take care of you”
i close my eyes and squeeze out the tears building up. she turns around and grabs a towel and a couple of things from a cabinet and walks back over. She sits in front of me and sets the stuff down, holding out the towel. I grab it gratefully and lay it over myself, covering as much as possible.
“I won’t touch you unless its absolutely necessary, i’m so sorry al.”
She grabs a white tissue and lifts up the towel from my chest, leaving everything else covered. I flinch but stay still.
“You’re doing great”
she pressed the tissue to where blood seeps from my skin, dabbing gently. She sets it down on the floor and grabs a roll of bandages.
“ i need you to come away from the wall a bit sweetie”
i nod and scoot closer. She wraps bandages around my chest and abdomen. A few minutes later she pats my chest and stands up.
“ the bandages are done, i’ll leave you to get dressed, and then come out, i’ll be waiting for you”
i nod and watch her leave, door clicking as she walks out. I stand up and walk out of the shower towards the pile of clothes. I put on the shirt, which is a soft pink and silky soft. I put on the darker pink pants and then the belt which is black and studded with spikes. I put on the blazer, which looks similar to my regular one just less damaged and pink, and much shorter. I finally tie my bowtie and slip on my shoes.
I walk out, not ready to look in the reflection. I walk out the the main room and find velvette sitting in a pile of makeup.
“Ready for your makeover?”
I smirk at her, actually amused for the first time since being vox’s prisoner, and she smiles back. I walk over and flop onto the couch.
“Do whatever you want” i say,
velvette being one of the only people i would say that too. She stands above me with a bunch of brushes and palettes and other make up i have no names for and pats them onto my face.
A few minutes later she holds a mirror in front of my eyes. Shes replaced my usual red eye shadow, somehow the exact shade i always, and given me siren eyeliner with long wings. My lips are black and cheeks a soft red.
I look up at up at her
“ thank you”
i smile. I feel like myself again
“of course al. The other V’s are such creeps but i’ll keep you as safe as i can while youre here”.
Suddenly velvettes phone starts ringing. She walks over a picks it up, answering and rolling her eyes as she hears who’s on the other end.
“You’re not getting Al back vox, not if you treat him like that. He’s fucking terrified.”
Shouting erupts from her phone and her face goes white.
“Shit, vox fine. But i get him back afterwards”
i stare at her in horror. She’s giving me back to him? I stare at the floor. Tears well in my eyes i cover my eyes, unable too look at Vel as she sets her phone down and sits next to me.
“Al, i know you have a plan to get out of this, and i will help in any way you need”
i nod but turn away. I dont know why i thought she could actually keep me safe. The door slams open, and i go still, shoulders up to my ears as i here someone walk in.
“Hey al, are you ready for more fun? Vox said i could join him”
i slowly turn around to see Valentino standing behind me, a mere foot from me. My eyes widen and my ears go flat against my head.
Suddenly Valetino grabs both of my arms and starts pulling me out of the couch and towards the door, and i slam onto the floor.
Velvette looks away
. When we’re in the hallway Val pulls me onto my feet and shoves me into the wall, facing towards the wall. I slam into it with a thud, and he presses himself onto me.
“How you doing Al? Vox said you were so good last night. I begged him for a chance and he finally said yes.”
I whimper as he presses his mouth into my neck just below my ears. He grabs my waist and starts grinding his hips into my ass. He slides his hands all over my chests and pulls me into him, tongue licking all over my neck.
His breathing is heavy in my ear. I look up at the ceiling, trying to look anywhere but what’s happenin. I cover my hand with my mouth. My face burns. He abruptly stops, as if remembering where he is.
“Lets go somewhere more private. It’s more fun that way”
he grabs my hair and half drags me down the hall. My scalp screams in agony. I stumble and fall, cracking my head on the hard floor.
I lay there for a second, dazed, dizzy and head screaming.
“God, you really are pathetic.”
Blood forms a puddle around my head. Val grabs my arm and starts dragging me, leaving a trail of blood behind me. We reach a door and he opens it, and throws me in.
