It's been almost 72 hours since i've been locked down in the basement. they haven't given me food not even water, and I feel weak physically. I finished the book about medieval tortures long ago and recently one about Jeffrey Dahmer right before my phone died. I learned some pretty interesting things. the things he did to people were so cruel, they were just innocent as far as I know. i know I'm capable of doing those types of things anyone could, but for me i could only go through with it if those people who were to be my victims deserved it. kinda like how the saw movies go.

As far as feeling remorse, I'm not sure. i could definitely cut myself off from all emotion all together but once i snap out of it i will feel guilty as all hell, but don't most people think like this? with media showing every bit of real life horror from death to everything in between kids now a days can look at a decaying body and laugh, kinda morbid if you ask a normal person but to each their own. 

the next two days were filled with more books, digging into their personal belongings that they kept down here and silence. it mostly dark down here a little light would peep through at certain times of day and it's cold. i didn't think they could be cruel enough to leave me down here for 3 days straight, i don't think that's even legal. but nothing they've been doing to us is legal, they've already done so much and hell week isn't close to being over. my teachers are probably guessing I'm going to drop out of college since i haven't been to any of my classes lately. all mine and my mother's money is getting wasted the more i'm stuck down here, why did i even think joining this was even a good idea?

suddenly sun light floods the dim lit basement as someone pulls open the doors. i shield my eyes to try and see the short figure standing on the grey concrete steps.

"well you survived the past 3 days, I'm actually kind of surprised." Corinne's voice spoke out.

"I'm not a pussy, i can handle it." i say getting up from the dirty ground dusting myself off.

"i see. well we still have 2 days left to break you, let's go back into the house." i cautiously follow her back up the stairs nearly falling from the lack of energy. the sunlight burns my corneas after living in pitch black for 3 days.

she throws me a water bottle and quickly open it chugging the entire thing. Corrine laughs as she walks through the back door.  i don't understand how someone can laugh and after seeing the result of what they've done to another human, corinne and these girls seemed so normal at first and yet they're as crazy as the serial killers in those books. one day they'll get what they deserve. as i walk through the warm atmosphere of the house i can see casey on the floor. my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. you can tell she had been crying from the black tear streaks on her cheeks. looking over i see Elizabeth with her nose against the wall, naked and using only her arms to cover her chest and front bottom area as she recites something to stacy. as i come more into view of those two i see stacy holding a whip. casey's torso, arms and legs had red slash marks all over as she laid on the floor sobbing. elizabeth's was shaky from being nervous, anyone would be nervous if someone stood behind you waiting for you to mess up just to whip you the moment they get.

"alpha, beta, gamma, delta, eta, iota?" Elizabeth shuts her eyes as if she knows what she said was wrong.

"you skipped a letter!" stacy yells before letting the leather whip collide with elizabeth's bareback. i wince at the sound and i hear a muffled scream come from Elizabeth along with the chuckles from the other sorority girls. i keep my mouth shut no matter how much i want to tell them off. did these girls go through this shit too and are laughing that someone else gets to share their pain with them or have they gotten more cruel since being around corinne?

stacy then makes a big gasping sound making me turn my head just in time to see natalie poor messy food on stacy's head. stacy pulls off the noodles from her hair and the trash from her pockets running upstairs into the bathroom.

"the human trash can is going to clean herself for the next activity." Natalie snarls.

" finn come clean this mess up!" alyssa snaps. finn comes running and gets on the ground soaking the liquid up with the back of her shirt. at this point I'm baffled and angry.

human trash can, human mop, and whipping someone on their bare body for getting some stupid greek alphabet wrong plus locking me down in the basement for 3 days without food or water. i don't know how much more i can handle anymore.

"laurel why don't you go back to your dorm until we send for you again." Corinne evilly smirks.

nodding i walk out of the house unsure if corinne was going to have one of the sisters surprise me with a bag over my head as soon as i open the door. once i stepped outside and the birds chirped as the warm wind blew against the nape of my neck a moment in time for once this week it was peaceful and i could finally breathe. making my way back to my dorm i took my chance to eat something big in fear of not knowing if i'll be starved again for longer. i also try to  catch up on studies before i fail completely. i had been in my dorm room for a few hours now, I haven't heard from the girls at all. it makes me nervous not hearing from them, are they dropping me from hell week after all this? For the following 3 days I hadn't heard a word from them and it was a bit terrifying but overall I felt relieved. I started to attend my classes again and I was able to catch up on my work. even though i didn't want to go through beating death twice for nothing the longer i'm away from them and that house my mind becomes clearer.

I sat at my desk in my fairly sized dorm doing an English paper when I got a text from Casey. my heart dropped. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion because Casey and I never really talked.

C: hey wanna go out for drinks tonight?

L: are you sure you're texting the right person?

C: this is Laurel isn't it?

L: yeah, you've never texted me before so I don't even know how you got my number.

C: I got from Finn, I figured we could use something to take the edge off after what we went through for hell week.

L: oh alright, but I can't drink.

C: what? why?

L: I had nearly died from drinking that kidney failure mix.

C: seriously?

L: yeah I was one sip away from coma or death, at least that's what the doctor told me.

C: holy crap! I mean one drink wouldn't hurt, would it?

L: I don't know. I'm scared to risk it you know.

C: I get it, well just come over to my apartment it's right off campus and we can smoke or something instead.

L: um alright, just text me an Address.

A few moments later she sent her location and I picked up my car keys from my desk drawer and went to the student parking lot. The gps helped me get to her apartment within 5 minutes which was great since she was standing in the cold waiting for me.

"Hey." She greeted me with a smile although she was shivering.

"Hey, why did you wait out here, you're in shorts and a tank top?" I asked after giving her a partial hug.

"I thought it'd be easier for you to find." She giggled. i found that statement odd since i do know what she looks like. waving off the weird comment she made, We went inside instantly being warmed up by the heater.

"Go ahead and make yourself at home. I'll get us some drinks, do you want anything in particular?" She asked going into the kitchen right next to the living room.

"Um I don't know."

"Jack and coke?" She asked hesitating.

"Okay, but that's the only drink I'm having tonight." I reply sitting on a white arm chair.

I watch her movements but from her upper arm down was being blocked by the tall island counter.

Seconds later she brought me a short glass with a brownish color mixture. She watches me as I take a sip. A knock sounds at the door and Casey becomes skittish. With her body tense she opens the door and lets in whoever is there. I take another sip as I lean over to see down the hall. My body becomes heavy, my head feels extremely light, with my vision being blurry, the only thing I could make of the people who came through the door was their figures and the colors of what they wore. tall with a black top and bottom, medium with white top blue bottom, medium with blue top blue bottom. They made their way towards me when the glass slipped out of my hand and shattering once it hit the line of the tile and carpet flooring. A hand was placed under my arm keeping my body from falling then things went black.
