"Don't move."

Riley froze in her place. Her grip on Vince's shirt was atthe point of tearing through the fabric. Her eyes locked with the back of Vince's head, watching as his body didn't move, not even to breath. The pair stood on the stairs, about halfway down, before the screams started back up followed by a loud repetitive knocking noise.

Riley's hands started to shake again, as Vince started to slowly descend down the stairs. The fear of getting caught had build up within the past ten seconds, and she was almost at the point of crying. It was hard to hear the screams, and it was worse to walk towards it. A few steps away from the bottom, things started to come into view. What Riley saw next caused her stomach to tighten.

A lightbulb hung loosly on the ceiling, swaying back and forth as the knocking noise continued. A couple large cages were placed against the right side of the room, hanging from the above were rows of hooks. Riley could see the faint crimson substance still on some of the hooks. Tears started to swell up in Riley's eyes as she stood at the bottom of the stairs, trying to comprehend what she was staring at. It felt as if her feet was planted to the step for hours, when in reality it had just been a few seconds. Time itself can turn out like that when the situations get the best of a person's mind, and after all that has happened, it was hard to keep it straight.

Vince cautiously stepped away from Riley, signaling for her to stay put. Leaning down, Vince gently grabbed the first thing he believed could be used to defend himself.

His hand wrapped around a wooden bat, that had been placed on the ground with a bunch of other weapons ranging from bats to crowbars to steel rods. It was disgusting to see all these things laying around, knowing that it had probably been used against someone.

Upstairs, Riley knew that their new hosts were the ones to kill Daryl, even if she didn't want to accept it, but as she stood there, this horrid scene unfolding right before her eyes, it was just so hard to believe. With his back towards them, Sage continued what he was doing, unaware that he two new arrivals were in the room.

His main focus was on the lovely blonde beneath him. His hands holding her in place as she tried to squirm. The knocking noise, followed by some grunting sounds filled the cold air. He thrust himself in and out of her violently, making her whimper in pain. Whenever she would try to scream, the smirk on his face grew, satisfied at the fact that the pain consumed her.  At the moment, as he continued to rape the young girl, all he kept thinking about were the others that would soon meet the same fate.

Riley stood helplessly from afar, disturbed at the scene. The thought replayed in her head. How had they managed to walk right into a house full of these sick fucks? The cruel reality tore away at her.

"After I'm done with you, I'm going after your little friends." Sage growled.

"Like hell you are!" Vince said, catching Sage completely off guard, causing him to jump.

Before he could comprehend anything, Vince swung the bat hard against Sage's head, causing the guy to fall down to the ground with a thud. Being quick to act, Riley ran towards the table. For the first time since they walked down the basement, she finally saw who the horrid screams belonged too.

Zoe laid on the table, tears flowing down her cheeks that were red and swollen. Riley had guessed that Sage hit her a few time when she tried to get away. Immediately Riley blocked the view of Zoe from Vince, as he stood next to an unconscious Sage. At first Zoe struggled against Riley, screaming, thinking that it was probably Sage again. Riley pulled the young girl into a hug, being gentle to calm her down. Without realizing what she was doing, she held Zoe, letting the girl cry into her shoulder.

"Shh, don't worry, it's going to be okay." Riley whispered as she rubbed Zoe's back. Looking back at Vince, she asked him to pass her Zoe's clothes that were tossed a few feet away from them. He quickly did as she asked, and Riley helped the young girl into her clothes quickly. As much as she wanted to comfort Zoe, she told her that they need to leave, and that the others would be waiting for them outside. It was as if the past drama between the two flew out the window, and RIley knew that Erik would be glad to know that they found his sister, although she had a busted lip and swollen cheeks, she was alive.

Suddenly Vince fell to the ground. Both girls quickly turned around and screamed. Sage stood a few feet away from them, looking down at Vince angrily. Vince laid on the floor, in the fetal position, holding onto his stomach. Sage lifted his leg, and kicked Vince causing the guy to turn over on his back. Then reached down, picked Vince up by the shirt, then punched him twice in the face. Not sure what to do, Riley ran to grab anything in the pile of stuff, and swung it against Sage's back. Unfortunately that barely made him budge. He took his attention off of Vince, who was still on the ground, trying to catch his breath.

Riley began walking backwards as Sage approached her with a smirk on his lips. She tried to swing at his to keep his distance from her, but he quickly caught her arm and swung her around then slammed her against the wall, his hard body pushed against her, trapping her.

"I see you're a naughty little one." Sage breathed into her ear, before pushing himself harder against her body. Riley tried to fight against him, but it was obvious that fighting wasn't doing anything. He then grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her hair back causing her to yell. Hearing her yell was his satisfaction, it fueled him. Sage leaned his head down at her shoulder, before brushing his lips up towards her neck then to her ear.

"Gosh you smell so sweet." He breathed, his grip on her hair tightening, causing her to flinch at the pain.

"You know I wanted you first, but Caleb told all of us not to touch you, which in my opinion isn't fair, don't you think?" He asked, as he let his other arm wrap around her waist, playing with the button on her jeans. This caused Riley to push hard against him, which just made him laugh.

"Let me go you asshole." She hissed, her fear slowly replacing itself with anger. She didn't want him to touch her in any way, being this close to him was worse as it is.

"Now, now don't be like that." He teased, enjoying the way she pushed back against him.

Sage began to slowly slide his hand into her jeans, the other pulling the her hair farthur back. He got the reaction he needed from her as she tried to kick back, making it easier for him to continue to slide his hand deeper into her jeans.

No matter how hard she tried, she made it easier for him to have his way with her. Her hands were pushed against the wall, making it nearly impossible to for her to have any way to hit him. Her upper body was the only part of her body able to move. Sage began to play with her panties, getting too close to his destination, causing her to yell out in frustration.

Suddenly something hit his back, pushing him more into Riley. Glancing back, he saw Zoe standing behind him holding the wooden at that Vince had knocked him down earlier with.

"Get away from her!" Zoe yelled, before going to strike again. Sage quickly let go of Riley's hair causing the ache in the back oh her neck to go away. As he let go, he blocked the hit from the bat with his arm, before grabbing it and pulling it, sending Zoe stumbling his way. As soon as she was next to him, he grabbed the back of her head and slamming it against the wall next to Riley. Zoe cried out in pain, before falling to the ground. The impact caused Zoe to become dizzy, her vision starting to blur.

Sage then turned his attention back to Riley who tried to take that as an opportunity to break free from his grasp. He then leaned his head back down and whispered, "Now where were we?"

Riley leaned against the wall, completely helpless. She knew fighting back was completely pointless, seeing as how shes been trying for a while now. As he started to kiss her neck, it started to send shivers down her spine. Riley then did the only thing she could think of. With her head finally free, she turned her head just enough to the side, before taking a couple breaths. Suddenly she slammed her lips into his as he went to kiss her ear. Catching him completely off guard, he groaned into her mouth. Loving her choice of action, he pressed his hardened member onto her lower back. She clentched her eyes tightly as she continued to kiss him roughly, making him growl with excitment.

Just then she bit down hard onto his lower lip, making him cry out. As soon as she let go, she slammed her head back hitting him right in the face. Sage instantly let go of her, surprised by what just happened. Taking her chance, she turned around, seeing Sage with both hands up at his face.With all her might, she kicked him right between his legs, making him fall down to his knees. With adrenaline pumping through her veins, she knew she wasn't satisfied. Taking the last opportunity she brought her knee right up to his face, making his fall onto his back. Riley then cried, as pain started to throb through her knee. She cursed aloud before walking towards to Vince who had some blood dripping from his nose. She took the side of her jacket, and tried to wipe away some of the blood.

Not caring about the blood, Vince reached over and pulled her into a hug.

"I'm so sorry, I tried to get up!" Vince pleaded, so upset with himself that he couldn't get up in time to help the one girl who he cares the most for. It pissed him off what Sage was attempting to do, but his body was in extreme pain to move.

"Vince it's okay, it's okay." Riley reassured him,she was just happy that he's alive. She left his side just a bit to check on Zoe who is having a major headache, but thankfully she was fine.

The three quickly left the basement, trying to shake off what just had happened, and hopefully meet the others outside. After taking a few wrong turns, they finally managed to make their way to the front door. As they opened the door, they saw it was pitched black outside. The light from the moon barely covered enough ground for them to see.

Suddenly a small flashing light was seen from afar, out by the border from where the tall grass and the trees meet. It was swaying from one side to the other.

"Shadow's phone." Vince mentioned, then they began making their way to the others.

Within a few minutes of walking, they finally reached the border, only to find that Autumn and Gerald weren't there. Erik quickly grabbed his sister in a hug, while Riley and Shadow did the same. Although it felt great to see her friend, she was worried about the other three.

"How'd did you find her?" Vince asked, signaling to Jasmine who stood off to the side by herself.

"We got lucky, remember when we heard Adam in the hall talking about going to his room to deal with the other blonde? Well we found her in one of the rooms that had the light on, he wasn't there though." Shadow answered.

"Yeah, she's a little shaken right now. We found her tied to the bed. Thankfully we got to her in time." Erik added, his arms still around Zoe.

Before Zoe could tell them about what happened to them, the group heard a scream. Immediately turning their heads to the house, the fear began to build up again.

"Autumn." Shadow breathed, before looking to Riley. The pair shared the same panic in their eyes. Another scream came from the house. Without another thought, Jasmine ran towards the scream.

"Jasmine!" Zoe called after her friend.

"It's Cindy!" Jasmine yelled back.

They watched Jasmine run away, not sure what to do when suddenly another scream filled the air, an all too familiar scream.

"That's Autumn." Shadow whispered.

Just as quick as Jasmine left, Riley and Shadow followed behind. Vince tried to follow but Erik grabbed in him.

"What?" Vince asked.

"Don't man." Erik said.

"Gerald is still in that house!" Vince replied, annoyed that he was still in the same spot.

"Vince you can barely walk on your own right now, don't act like I didn't see you holding onto your stomach as you came over here." Erik said, wanting his friend to be reasonable. Vince knew that he was right, but what could he do? All he wanted was to run after Riley, and to make sure that Gerald got out of that house.

Just then the porch lights started to turn on, followed by the rest of the house. The lights were shinning so bright that the three who stood by the woods could easily see the porch from where they stood. Jasmine had a good thirty second start, with Riley and Shadow following not too far behind.

Suddenly, they saw Autumn and Gerald run out the front door. Autumn was bleeding on her face, while Gerald had a small limp while he ran. The couple soon met up with Jasmine in the field of grass.

"Where's Cindy?" Jasmine asked, frantic and trying to catch her breath. Just then Riley and Shadow arrived.

"What happened?" Shadow asked.

After a second of letting their breathing catch up to them, Gerald opened his mouth, " We found Cindy in one of the room towards the back of the house, they locked her in a cage."

"We managed to find the damn keys for it, got her out, and then the guys walked in.She's supposed to be right behind us!" Autumn cried, tears dripping down her face.

"Where is she?" Jasmine questioned angrily, before taking off again towards the house.

"No Jasmine!" Autumn cried aloud.

"Just go, we'll get her." Riley said in frustration. She knew Autumn couldn't follow seeing as how the two looked badly hurt. Autumn tried to protest, but as she stood there with Gerald leaning on her for support, she knew they wouldn't be of any use.

"You two better fucken be careful." Autumn said in a serious tone. She didn't like the fact that the two closest people to her were willing to run after a girl they barely knew.

With a nod from the girls, they took off in hopes to catch up to Jasmine. They saw that she was almost to the house, when another loud scream peirced their ears.

Their hearts sank when they saw Jasmine run up the porch steps, without even thinking about the danger of running into the house with nothing to even defend herself.

"That chick is going to get herself killed." Shadow said as they continued to chase after the blonde girl, who's only worry is her friend.

All of a sudden they stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Jasmine run quickly back out the front door, before stopping right before the steps.

"What the heck?" Riley whispered, as she watch Jasmine stand in place, her arms grabbing at her neck.

"We are too far." Shadow said, before they took off once more.

Jasmine tried to scream as she saw the girls try hard to reach her. Tears flowing like a river down her red cheeks. She continued to struggle, the pain around her neck becoming more intense as she pulled against it. She then looked at her hands which had blood on it, her blood. She began to frantically cry and kick around in place as the horror ate away at her.
