Anika was trembling, as she spoke, Draco was already with her , he had his arms around her while she cried into his arms
She clutched his shirt and buried her face into his chest
"You don't have to talk about it, if you can't say-"
"No! I want to say it" Anika said, she sniffed and continued "he forced Bruce to f¥ck me and even recorded it so he can watch it anytime, I was locked inside the dark room again, I faintyand was unconscious for a week and when I woke up I saw crackers and a tiny cup of water, I assumed that was my food"
Draco was drawing circles on her back as she spoke as a form of encouragement
"After eating, I was starving then the door opened I was scared then I saw who I didn't expect to see it was .....
... Eleven years ago...
...dark room...
The door opened and Bruce stepped in with a plate of rice cake and a bottle of water.
Anika stepped back and Bruce stopped walking, she stared at him and he looked at her "I'm not here to hurt, I just wanted to give you food"
Anika looked at the food then at him and took steps closer and sat on the floor, Bruce sat across her and slide the plate to her
"How do you eat it?" Anika asked and Bruce blinked in confusion before grabbing the cake and putting it in his mouth and chewed it
Anika nodded and took another one, she was chewing when Bruce spoke up "I'm sorry", she paused and looked at him
Bruce looked at her and looked away "I'm sorry for what I did that day but if I didn't he would kill papa and I don't want Daddy to die"
Anika blinked for a moment waiting for the sentences to register then she nodded "it's okay, I'm fine I guess"..
"Does it hurt?" Bruce asked and she nodded, he sighed "I'm sorry"
"Stop apologizing it's not your fault, it's that bad man" Anika asked..
"How did you get here" Bruce asked and she choked on the rice cake, Bruce passed her water and she drank the whole bottle
"Oppsie" she said
"No problem I brought extra just incase that happens" Bruce said and took out another bottle of water
She opened it and drank it, she drank it to half when Bruce snatched it "finish eating them drink more water".
Anika nodded and resumed eating, Bruce watched her stuff her face and smiled "how old are you?"
Anika paused and shook her head "I don't know"
Bruce frowned "how can you not know your birthday or your age"
"I was taken away when I was a little little baby, and I was in Spain for three years and when I got here I wa sout in this tiny room, I used to keep counts of the dates" she pointed at the wall, the wall had stick marks on them
"But I've lost count, but I know it's in December, I heard them saying it once in Spain" Anika said
Bruce was still checking out the dates "today's date is sixteen, we're in November"
"Oh that fast?" Anika asked and resumed eating
"I'm older than you" Bruce declared and Anika frowned "how old are you"
Bruce gave a cheeky smile "I'm nine and I was born on January 25, I'm older"
"No fair" she crossed her arms and pouted "then I declare that I'm nine too"
"That's not how it works umm what is your name" Bruce asked
Anika stood up after eating rice and dusting it in the cloth she had worn for four years "Anika"
"Nice to meet you Anika I'm Bruce" Bruce said and Anika shook his hand like business partners
"But I want to be nine years too" Anika said with a frown and Bruce nodded "okay you can be nine but I'm older"
Anika frowned "but we're both nine"
"I'm older by nine months and twenty two days" Bruce said proudly
"How do you know that" Anika asked with a frown
"By mathematics, I go to school every day, but since you were taken when you were young, you've never been to school" Bruce said
"What's mathematics and what's a school?" Anika asked
Bruce was flabbergasted "oh you don't know anything, don't worry, I'll be your teacher till you get out of here"
Anika jumped up and down "does that mean I get more of the gummy thing I ate"
Bruce laughed "it's called Rice cakes but sure"...
"Since then, after school, Bruce would sneak into the dark room with rice cakes and bottle of water, he'd teach me what he learnt in school and we would have fun till he had to sneak back so Zander would not catch him....then Zander started buying boys too and would make them f¥ck me for entertainment purposes"
Draco's jaw clenched and his fist tightened "that bastard"
"One of the guys was Matteo, he was bought by Zander and often molested by the female mafia workers, they would make him suck their b00bs and eat their smelling ass cunt, they would take him in the asshole, he would cry to I and Bruce, Bruce was the only kid who wasn't molested cuz he was the second in command son, no one apart from the five of us knew about Bruce fucking me when I was nine"
"How many were made to fuck you?" Draco had murderous eyes but Anika could not see them Cruz she was still hugging his chest "five, Zander, Bruce, Matteo and two of the bought lads were forced to fuck me"
"I'm going to kill him" Draco said but Anika held his arm "no don't kill him"
Draco looked at her confused "because I want to be the one to end him, he keeps saying he bought me to save me and I want to know what he meant, he knows my parents, I want to know them he knows things about me that I don't know Draco and I want to know them, my age, my real name my surname, my-"
Draco cupped up her chin "I get it Caro" (darling) anika gazed into his eyes"
"Draco".....
