Morgan

As I sat staring at the grey walls of the room, I waited for her to wake up. This place is quite dusty and small. The lightbulb is old and flickers sometimes. Its already surprising that it works at all. I'm glad there are air vents here. Wouldn't want her to suffocate and die before her job. pretty sure theres a story behind this room. Heck! Theres a story behind this whole perfect place that I found. I think they used this place for illegal activities. I take a sip of my orange juice and look at Jessica. Just looking at her makes my blood boil. Laying still on the ground, In legcuffs and a chain fastened to a pipe. She looks like a wounded animal.

I could see her start to gain consciousness as her body begins to move. Putting my glass of juice aside, I get up from my chair and walk over to her.

" Rise and shine! " I say as I stand next to her body. She used to look down on me the same way. Now that the tables have turned, it feels kinda good.

Her eyes flutter open and she looks around in confusion. As she sits up she wobbles. I guess shes still dizzy.

" Whats....where am I ? " she says. Then she winces as the pain from her injuries become prominent.

" For starters, your in my new home " I say. This is gonna be a hassle. All I need is for her to tell me whatever she knows about Lydia and her family.

She stares at me for a second and then realization seems to wash over her " Morgan!? Wha- whats going on!? " she yells. She tries to get up, realizes her feet are cuffed and falls back down. Looking at the long chain attached to her legcuff and the other end attached to a big pipe on the wall, she frowns.

I drag my chair towards me and sit on it. " You don't remember? Well...I guess I can't blame you since it wasn't actually ME at that time " I ask.

" what ? Tell me whats going on, Morgan. Why am I here? Are you working with that redhaired stalker!? " she says angrily.

" In a way, yes. Now I need you to answer some questions. " I say.

She glares at me " Are you gonna kill me too now ? "

I sigh deeply " No, I'm not gonna hurt you. I need you to give me information. Thats why I Kidnapped you "

" You ? That was you ? Were you working with that driver too!? " she frantically looks around.

" No! Look if I wanted you dead, I wouldn't have treated your wounds. I'm not gonna hurt you so tell me what I need to know. Tell me what you know about Lydia and her family "

She snickers " I'm not afraid of you. You'd definitely lose to me in a fight. As soon as I'm out of here I'm going straight to the police. " she pulls hard on the chain trying to break it off.

" Why aren't you telling me? Its not even about YOUR family. I wanna know what connection does your family has with Lydia's " I say.

She doesn't answer me. Instead keeps on struggling to break the chain. I can feel my patience start to slip.

Well, I guess I'll NEED to be patient. Now that I notice it, I'm totally unlike how I was this early morning. Horrible thoughts were crossed my mind and I was accepting them. I was telling myself I'm gonna make her pay for what she did to me. That is until I chained her here and had time to collect my thoughts. I was straying away from my goal. Taking revenge on Jessica isn't my priority. Its using her to get to Lydia.

" HELP MEEE! SOMEONE! " Jessica starts panicking and shouting. Music to my ears.

" No one can hear you here " I say to her.

" where the hell did you bring me !? " she grits her teeth.

I get up and walk towards the wall. Gracing my fingers upon the rough stone texture I began to tell her " You know, who would have thought that this entire place was hidden under this factory. Since I was gonna be here for awhile I thought I'd look around or even find a good hiding place. Just my luck that accidentally spilling a drink revealed a secret hidden trapdoor in the janitors closet. " I turn back to her. She glares at me, anger mixed with fear.

" There was a secret tunnel here. Some rooms were here too. Like this one. You wanna know where the other end of the tunnel leads to ? " I smirk and kneel down on eye level. I can see her shivering.

" Your freedom. The outside world. It leads to Riverdale. Theres a trap door in an alleyway. Hidden underneath the trash. No one knows about it. "

" Morgan...let me go " she says with a crack in her voice.

" Tell me what I need to know. After that.....I'll THINK about it. " does she really think I'll let her go after telling her all that.

" Why are you even asking ME about that!? I don't even know anything about Lydia! " she yells desperately.

" I heard you that day. About Lydia paying you to bully me." I tell her.

Her eyes widen in shock. " That...was....you must have mishear- " I cut her off

" Not only that but also the fact that yours and Lydia's dad are business partners. But when I went to your dads office they said theres no business partner by the name of Jackson Frederick. Now...I want you to tell me the truth this time. "

She looks away and thinks for a second " Morgan...I'm sorry . "

I can feel my suppressed anger trying to resurface.

" Why!? Whats this whole truth that I can't know about! Answer me!. " I stand up straight.

" I'm not gonna tell you anything! " she yells back.

Then I remembered something " Say, did you tell the police about the whole Lydia paying you to bully me ? I saw the police go to our school. No doubt they questioned our class and absolutely no doubt someone told them that I was being bullied by you guys. So tell me....did you tell them about Lydia?" I say to her.

Jessica stays silent and looks at the ground.

Now I'm certain. She knows something. And shes protecting Lydia.

My anger bursts out and I end up kicking Jessica in the stomach. She coughs and holds on to her stomach as I continue to kick her.

" WHY THE HELL ARE YOU PROTECTING HER!? THIS WHOLE MESS WAS HER FAULT! AND THE ENTIRE TIME YOU DID HORRIBLE THINGS TO ME BECAUSE OF HER! I NEVER DESERVED THIS! AND NOW YOUR HIDING THINGS ABOUT HER! "

"stop.." she whispers. It looks like shes about to faint. Suddenly she gags and vomits.

" SHE TRIED TO KILL ME, FRAMED ME, KILLED MY MOTHER, MADE YOU PEOPLE BULLY ME AND NOW YOU WOULDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HER!? YOU HYPOCRITE BASTARDS RUINED MY LIFE! " I feel like I'm only seeing red. I can't stop myself or maybe...I don't want to.

" Morgan...please..stop.." she says again. Abit louder this time.

Hearing her say that makes me even more mad. How shameless! I remember the countless times I asked her to stop. She never did.

" You seriously have the nerve to ask me that ? Remember all those time I asked the same thing !? " I grab her hair and pull up her head. Her injury on her sides are bleeding again. Her mouth dirty with vomit. This disgusting wrench.

Hate to say it but this is really calming me down. All the frustration and anger I've been bottling up inside me, being released and I feel light weight. Putting people in their place feels so right.

" If you don't tell me I'll expose your family's dirty secrets. Last chance " I say to her.

She looks me in the eye and the corners of her mouth are lifted " Go to hell. Do whatever you want. "

I stand up with one hand grabbing her hair. She yells as I drag her to the corner of the room where the other end of the chain is tied to a pipe and let go of her hair.

" Listen well. Until you tell me what I wanna know, I'm going to keep making you wish you were dead. "

After saying that I walk towards the door. As I open it, Jessica starts yelling.

" HELP MEEE!!! PLEASE! HELP MEE!! ANYO- " I slam the metal door shut. No one can hear you Jessica. These walls are soundproof.

The hallway is covered with white walls and grey stone floor. Most of the ceiling lights work. I really wonder what kind of underground activities took place here.

As I walk down the tunnel towards the factory, I feel myself getting frustrated again. Just why is she being so persistent!? She'd rather me expose her family secrets then tell me about Lydia!? There's definitely something going on.

A thought crosses my mind and I stop dead in my tracks. What if...she knows where Lydia is. And Lydia threatened her not to tell ? Could be a possibility. Although, I don't care what she threatened her with.

All I need is information and I'll do whatever it takes to get it out of her.
