NEW YEARS EVE...continued

Mary violently gasped as she suddenly woke up with a jolt. She was in shock. Her eyes were still trying to focus and her brain was struggling to figure out what exactly was going on. As she regained most of her senses she felt excruciating pain as she cried out " Oh my God, oh my God where the fuck am I , what is going on". It was dark and the stench made her vomit. It was a foul smell that she had never smelt before. It was the stench of death. Mary was so weak and badly beaten she panicked and screamed as she realized that she was retrained. Her wrists and ankles were tightly bound by barbed wire that was cutting deep into her skin. She quickly reached up and found a tight shackle around her neck, her eyes strained at the heavy chain as she tried in vain to pry it off her neck. She could barely breathe. She followed the chain with her eyes link by link, she could not see where the chain link ended. Mary knew it was too heavy to pull and the weight of the heavy chain would put more pressure on her tightly bound wrists causing an even more serious injury. She was wet, she was cold, and she was terrified. The pain shot through her and sent shivers up her spine. she knew she was in trouble, she knew she was probably going to die. Mary started to scream, the pain was almost unbearable. Would anybody hear her? Could anybody help? " Please, please stop screaming" said a frail male voice, almost in a high, yet aggressive whisper, 'he'll hear you and he'll come back". Mary stopped screaming and struggled to adjust her eyes in the dark. She noticed a very faint light that would flicker in and out every so often. During the flickers she could almost make out the silhouette of a man. He was across the room from her in a fetal position. " Don't be afraid, and for God sakes please don't scream again, it only makes him angry". " Wher..where are we? Mary could barely get the words to cross her dry chapped lips. " I dunno.. in some basement or cellar or something" the mysterious man said with uncertainty. "Why are we here?, who did this to us? What do they want?" Mary had so many questions she desperately needed answers for "Please save your breath, save your strength, he will be back, we got to clear our heads, think straight, I'm gonna find a way out of here". "Fuck! it hurts, what the fuck?..I think my feet are nailed to the floor" " What, noooo oh my God, nooo are you serious?" said Mary completely in abject terror. "Yes, I can't see them and I think I'm losing feeling " He flicked the lighter a few times and screamed " Oh God my feet are severed and nailed to the ground".."I'm really hurt bad, really bad". He moaned in pain as he writhed around in the darkness. Somehow he was able to free his hands " there's so much blood, oh God there's so much blood" , I don't want to die here" he said in a tone of utter desperation and hopelessness. " We are going to die aren't we?" Mary cried. Just then they heard a loud door slam shut. " Oh my God, Jesus he's back"!
