CHAPTER THREE
The ray of sunlight peeped shyly through the window pouring lightly on Elara's face. She moaned tiredly as her hand felt the space around her and finally found her pillow. She covered her face with it. Just then, the sound of the door creaking open was heard. Elara quickly opened her eyes and sat up. Nyra was standing at the door holding Elara's neatly folded uniform.
"Good morning, sweetheart." Nyra greeted, placing her uniform on the study table. Elara didn't reply to her greeting. She only stood up and dragged herself out of the room. Nyra sighed and followed her.
In the living room, the scent of freshly brewed coffee could be perceived across the kitchen. A pack of bread laid on top the dinner table which rested in a corner in the small living room.
Elara glanced around, and walked towards the bathroom. After a quick bath, she came out, her towel tied around her. Her long dark hair clings to her skin. Her body could have been absolutely flawless and seductive if countless signs of bruises hadn't said otherwise. Apart from her scared face, she had a pear body with a full and round breast resting on her chest.
Nyra, who was standing across the dining table, raised her head upon hearing footsteps by the bathroom. She stared at Elara's body and a sad frown appeared on her face.
"Where do you even obtain all these injuries?" She asked with a hint of suspicion in her voice.
"I'm clumsy." Elara replied briefly as she exited to her room. Nyra stared at her room, curiosity lingering in her gaze.
"Clumsy,.... Or there's something you aren't telling me?" She whispered. She shook her head and continued setting the table.
After preparing for school, Elara came out of her room for breakfast. Nyra had already prepared the light breakfast of bread and coffee, on the table. Elara had little and picked up her bag and went out. Nyra quickly picked up her lunch box and ran after her.
"You forgot your lunch!" She yelled as she caught up with Elara.
"I'm coming home early, so there's no need for lunch." Elara replied, in a quiet calm voice.
"I insist, Ely. What if you're hungry? Just take it." Nyra said with a soft smile.
Elara glanced at her sister in the eyes for a while before collecting it.
"Thanks" she whispered.
"Mmm….. don't forget to eat." Nyra said.
Elara nodded and left. Nyra watched her as she disappeared out of sight and sighed. She went back into the house to prepare for work.
---
Elara got a bus early and arrived at school early. Some days, finding a ride was difficult and she sometimes arrived at school late leading to punishment from the lecturers. But that very day, she was lucky.
As soon as she entered the school gate, she sighted Seraphina and her friends already standing in a corner waiting for her like they had predicted that she'd be early to school that day. This time, Adrian and Landon were with them. A cold breeze whizzed past her and her body shivered upon seeing them.
She started walking slowly, staring at the floor, praying for the ground to swallow her. As she was walking past them, she hoped they ignored her. But they didn't.
"Hey, Elly," Violet called out sweetly.
She sounded so sweet that everyone around would think she was a fan of Elara. But only Elara knew how fake her sweetness was.
Elara slowly stopped, her fingers nervously fondling her uniform. The five of them confidently walked towards her, smiling smugly like they owned the school.
"Are you avoiding us?" Adrian asked, his eyes wide in threat. Elara didn't dare meet his gaze. But she answered anyway.
"No," she whispered.
"Better!" Landon snapped.
Adrian and Landon were brothers. They were both sons of the rich and popular Mr and Mrs Blackwell. Their parents were both CEOs of rich companies. Their father, Mr Blackwell was the CEO of GreenTech innovations, a multi billion dollar company popular in Los Angeles. While their mother, Mrs Clare owned Riverside Logistics Coperation___ a logistics firm popularly rich. Adrian and Landon's parents ruled almost half the business world in L.A and they both were people no one dared mess with.
"Come with us, Duckling. We have a surprise for you." Seraphina said and Camille pulled her with them before she could say anything. As expected, they took her to an empty class in the school washroom. Camille threw her to the floor while Violet slammed the door behind them. Elara was already shaking, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Please…." Elara pleaded but a hard hand slapped her across her lips blurring her vision. Blood spilled out of her mouth and her throat went dry.
"Shut up!" Adrian snapped. "Tie her up." He added and Camille and Violet immediately took action. Elara was tied with a rope__ too weak to move, while Seraphina and Landon laughed in pleasure, enjoying the show.
After they finish tying her up, Seraphina turns to Adrian.
"Should I do it, or will you enjoy doing it more?" She asked with a smirk. Adrian smirked, staring at her in excitement.
"I think…. I'll enjoy it more." He said walking towards Elara.
"Don't….. come closer, please." Elara whispered weakly but Adrian got to her and went for her shirt. He brought out a pair of scissors from his pocket and started ripping her clothes open while Seraphina recorded everything.
With the little power she had, Elara struggled to be free but the rope around her opposed. She screamed with her little energy but no one heard. They all laughed horribly around her and her head spun violently.
"This bitch has quite a beautiful body." Landon said, licking his lips in amusement.
"Yeah, Ugly face with a beautiful body. What a pity?" Violet mocked.
Seraphina rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"Beautiful body? She's shapeless. She's a disaster. I don't know why she even exists." She said, eyeing Elara's body with irritation.
Adrian stopped and turned to Seraphina.
"Common, Sera. I know you hate this monster. We all do. But you have to admit, she has a beautiful shape." Adrian said with a chuckle.
"Is she even a virgin?" Camille asked.
Adrian and Landon exchange knowing glances.
"Only one way to find out." Landon said.
Elara's eyes widened in realization. She screamed, her body trembling. But it seemed no one was hearing her.
