Her beautiful face reminded him of so many women he had known before, the revealing outfit which she wore only emphasised the point. They had all hurt him, in ways physical and mental; friends, family, whores. Shock at this most recent discovery had dissipated quickly and a powerful form of nausea and disrespect took it's place.
They don't deserve respect, Danny, the voice sneered, they don't deserve anything from you. She needs to be taught a lesson, disgusting little bitch like that needs to be hurt- maybe she'll understand how it feels then...
His eyes watched the girl as disgust washed over him in waves.
Taylor watched in horror as Danny almost ran across the small flat, his hand disappeared into a dirty pocket and moved around quickly. A quick glance at Kalli confirmed the signals he was receiving from her clutching hands; she was terrified. Petite hands dug into his soft flesh, long nails almost piercing the red skin.
"Bitch, don't ever speak to me like that again!" Dannys enraged scream echoed around the empty room as he pulled his hand from his pocket producing a small shiny key. Grabbing her arm he pulled her roughly away from Taylor and proceeded to unlock her handcuff.
"Taylor?" her beautiful blue eyes locked with his in a questioning stare; it lasted only a second before she was dragged onto her feet. Danny stood glaring at her, his face less than an inch from hers. Kalli's haggard, panicked breathing was evident in the sudden silence. Danny sneered and moved closer.
"I'm going to teach you a fucking lesson." his harsh whisper held an ominous tone of evil "I'm going to hurt you..." with that he grasped her roughly by the shoulders and threw her cruelly across the room like a weightless rag-doll. She landed with a loud thud next to the small blanket. For a moment the world was still as both watched her lifeless form for movement; when she groaned and stirred Taylor uttered an internal sigh of relief.
Once he was sure she was okay he moved his attention back to Danny.
"You bastard!" a hoarse cry escaped his mouth "You hurt her again and I'll..." the threat was cut short as the memory of his restraints returned. Dannys eyes glistened malevolently in the dimness as he turned and eyed Taylor with a baneful amusement. Wordlessly he moved forward and delivered a harsh blow to Taylors eye.
"You'll do what?" the horrific stench of Danny's breath made Taylors eyes water as he bent as close as possible to the young boy and spat in his face "You'll do fuck all you little shit!" Tears fought in Taylors eyes as he watched Danny move slowly towards Kalli's unsuspecting figure.
"Kalli!" his cry went unheeded; lost in Kalli’s piercing shriek.
"Shut the hell up." he swiftly brought his hand down on her face whilst sitting on top of her.
"Please don't hurt me..." Kalli's voice was broken with wrenching sobs.
"Sorry hun," his voice dripped false sweetness as he reached down and tugged at her dirty pale blue skirt. It only took a moment for her to realise what was happening.
"Taylor!" she struggled against him but he continued unperturbed "Taylor help me!"
At her tortured cries Taylor lunged forward only to have the solid metal dig deep into his wrist. Her voice echoed in his head, his heart cried out for her. Tugging once again at the cuff he used all his energy on an attempt to escape- to no avail. He shrunk slowly back against the wall, knees pulled up to his chest crying at the pathetic struggling form before him.
"Taylor, please..." her low cry was soft, emotion evident as she let out a huge sob and cried unabashedly.
Taylor hid his head in his arms, soaking the already damp sleeve of his shirt with warm tears, trying to block out Kalli's desperate cries and the low grunts made by Danny's exertions. He blocked it all out and imagined home, his family, his friends, his music... he was no longer in hell.
Why won't he help me? Why? the question repeated continuously in her head. Why should he, you deserve this Kalli. Again the voice echoed in her mind, joyous at her punishment, it's your fault he's here so why should he help you?
"Taylor?" her almost silent whisper went unheard, tears protruded carelessly down her face. Squeezing her eyes tightly shut she made an attempt to escape life, escape the fact that she was being raped. It didn't happen.
