Devils Daughters

We just sat there after the guys left and stared off into space until we heard a knock on the door. I got up and nearly ran to the door in hopes that Andy and Ashley had came back to talk. I was not so lucky and I was met with a cop.

“Ali, Jesse, please come with me.” He stated. Jesse got up and walked to the door.
“What’s going on?” She questioned.
“We need you both to come with us now.” Was all he said as he grabbed our arms and pulled us out the door.

By this point more cops had joined and they were causing a commotion. Jake, Jinxx, and CC all came out of their rooms and started asking the cops where they were taking us and why but they refused to answer and kept leading us outside. All I could think was Andy and Ashley called the cops and told them everything. Jesse and I knew the risk so this was the price we had to pay. I hung my head in shame and let him lead me to the car. One thing I couldn’t figure out was why they didn’t handcuff us.

Jesse tried asking questions in the car but the cop ignored her and kept driving. I just rested my head on the window and closed my eyes, reliving what good memories I could. When we got to the station he let us out and we followed him until we got to an interrogation room. He left us both there. Now we were really confused. Jesse sat in the chair but I took the floor. We were in there for what felt like ages until someone came in.

“Jesse, Ali, I am terribly sorry for all the confusion but it would seem like you two are in danger.” My head shot up so fast I got whiplash. Jesse’s eyes widened and we stared at the man in disbelief.
“What?” Was all Jesse could muster.
“Do you two recognize this group of people?” The detective asked as he laid out a few photos. Jesse motioned me over. She was close to tears. I gasped and slightly nodded my head.
“Look at where these pictures were taken.” He instructed. I looked close and they were taken at our house. “Now for these.” He said as he pulled out more pictures, this time of a house that was on fire. Well more specifically, our house.
“They found us.” Jesse squeaked out.

The detective was quite as he pulled out more pictures. Our house was completely ruined, our cars done for, and what surprised me the most was that they also had pictures of the group around the hotel we were in.

“We have reason to believe that they have harmful intent and are after you. We have been watching them for a while and believe that they are the ones who did that to your house. We have no evidence so we couldn’t bring them in but with the way they are acting it would seem like a matter of time before they attack you.” As he was finished there was a knock on the door and he answered it. Someone said something but I was too far gone to even make sense of it. The next thing I know Ashley and Andy came running in.

Andy pulled me into his arms. “What is going on Ali?” He questioned. Right next to us Ashley was trying to get close to Jesse but she had back herself in the corner of the room and was begging him not to get closer.

“Ashley, don’t.” I warned.
Again Andy asked, “What’s going on here?”
“Our past caught us.” Was all I managed to get out.
“What do you mean by that? This isn’t about.. the other thing?” Ashley asked.

I shook my head. I let out a deep breath and lifted up my shirt and showed them my back. They both let out a surprised gasp as Jesse’s sobs grew louder. It had been years but the scars hadn’t faded. I guess that’s what happens with fire and whips and a continuous beating for over five years. I knew it looked bad, there was not a place on my back that wasn’t riddled with scars. That was the reason I only had sex in the dark and I was also the one on bottom. I didn’t want people to see this. I didn’t want the questions that followed.

“Who?” Andy asked, barely above a whisper.
“Why?” Ashley questioned.
“Because people are sadistic assholes.” I said as I took off my socks and shoes. I showed them the underside of my foot which had been branded, by more than one person. After they had been done I couldn’t walk for weeks because one would brand me, I would heal, then another would brand me.

They both stared at me in shock as Jesse’s sobs turned to laughter.

Notes

Sorry I went on a bit of a hiatus. I just didn't have any motivation and school is starting to get to me. However I had some motivation after reading Billie's chapter so I hope this is up to par?

Enjoy!
