TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault, torture, graphic images.

*Emberly's POV*

I've been trapped here for two weeks. They've raped me, cut me, burned me, beat me, starved me, and taunted me for the past 14 days. I've been kept naked and tied up. I know I have some broken bones at the very least.

After Pearce raped me the first day, I was numb. He came back and raped me a few more times over the next few days. Little did I know then, but that was the tamest of the torture they had in mind.

On the fifth day of my captivity, Dr. Riley and Juliet came in. By this point, I was exhausted. They had a fire poker with them. I watched in helpless horror, tears spilling down my face, as they inserted it into me. It felt like I was being raped all over again. They suddenly pulled it out and held it over a blow torch. Dr. Riley spread my outer entrance with her hands and Juliet shoved the now red-hot poker as far as it would go. I screamed at the burning agony. She pushed it harder and I felt something rip inside of me. I blacked out.

When I woke up again I found them all waiting for me.

"She's awake." I hear Juliet say.

"Emberly how nice of you to join us." Pearce sneers. "We didn't know if you'd wake up again." He laughs.

"Go to hell." I manage. Dr. Riley kicks me in the head. I'm stunned, my visions is blurry. I see the figures bend down and I feel extraordinary pain. I cry out, as something cuts into both thighs and my left forearm multiple times. I'm so dehydrated that my body is unable to produce tears, otherwise I'd be crying. I'm begging them to stop and finally they do. I drift in and out of consciousness for the rest of the day.

Over the next week, they continued their torture. I'm now so weak that they leave me untied, and just lock the door at night when they leave. Tonight is different, no one comes to make sure I'm alive. No one locks the door. I heard them talking about the increased police surveillance of this area. As weak as I am, I know I have to escape. It's either that, or die.

I gather the strength I have left and stand, the pain making me dizzy. I stumble along until I reach the door. I somehow make it outside. I'm completely naked, but I don't care. I immediately recognize the road I'm on. It's the part of the city that has a bunch of abandoned buildings. I see headlights and I stumble into the street, right as a cop car rounds the corner. It screeches to a stop right in front of me. I collapse on the pavement, unable to stand. I hear the door slam and a moment later the officer appears over me.

            "Are you Emberly Vace?" He asks, scooping me into his arms. I manage to nod. I look down the street and think I see Juliet, but I pass out before I can process it.

*Ashley's POV*

I'm working another ER shift. I'm at the round reception desk completing a form for a file when the doors behind me open.

            "I need help here!" I quickly spin and see a young officer cradling a naked girl in his arms. Emberly.

            "Oh my god, Emberly!" I quickly take her in my arms. She's bruised, bloodied, and malnourished. "Get me a gurney!" I yell. I look to the officer. "You need to call Dr. Andrew Biersack." He nods and goes outside to make the call. I turn my attention back to Emberly, and rush her back to the operating room.

*Andy's POV*

It's been two weeks since Emberly was kidnapped. Juliet won't answer my calls anymore. The police don't have any new leads at all. CC, Ashley, Jinxx, and even Em's theatre professor Jake have been helping hang up fliers.

I've almost given up hope. Then, my phone rings.

                "Hello?" I say.

               "Is this Dr. Andrew Biersack?" The voice on the other end wants to know.

                "Yes." Suddenly, I'm scared that Emberly is dead.

                 "We found Emberly. She's at Tarper-Eden Hospital. She's in bad shape." I quickly thank the voice and sprint to my car. On the way there, I call CC and tell him to meet me there.

She's alive. She's alive. She's alive.
