Chapter 10

When Edward woke next the first thing he noticed was the aching pain that consumed his body, the crux of the agony centring on his bottom. The second thing he realised was that it was light outside the window – morning. Edward looked jerkily around the room to see if James was still there. He wasn’t.

He pulled on his sore arms to make it to the top of the bed. At least he knew it was cleaner there than where he’d previously been lying.

Sometime later the door opened and Edward flinched at the sound, trembling in fear. James was back to do it again!

But it was the dark skinned man, Laurent, who entered.

“Come on,” Laurent said, clearly unperturbed about the state Edward was in. “I’m giving you half an hour in the bathroom, then you have to eat.”

Laurent pulled out a key and removed the padlock from between Edward’s cuffs. He wrenched at the shaken teen to get him on his feet.

Edward realised that he was still naked and he dropped his bound hands to cover himself.

He didn’t want to talk, or bring more attention to himself, but Edward had to know... he had to know how close his rapist was.

“W-Where is J-James?” it made Edward’s stomach churn to say the name, but he was desperate to know how close another potential attack could be.

Laurent eyes Edward, contemplating whether to inform the teen. “He and Demetri had some errands to run. He’ll be gone for the day. But just because their away, doesn’t mean you can try anything.” Laurent gestured to the gun that was tucked into the waistband of his pants.

Edward mutely nodded. At least James was far away for the time being.

Laurent led Edward out of the room and to a nearby bathroom.

Looking over his shoulder Edward watched as the door was shut with Laurent still inside. It unnerved him, especially with such horrible memories still fresh in his mind.

“Please. I don’t want you in here,” Edward implored.

“Sorry kid,” Laurent shook his head. “I’m not taking any risks. Either get cleaned up with me here, or we can forget about the whole thing.” As he talked he removed the handcuffs restraining Edward.

No. Edward needed to try and wash away as much of the residue as he could. His shoulders slumped as he accepted his new situation and gingerly went to sit on the toilet. Laurent was decent enough to sit on a chair with his back to Edward and the majority of the bathroom.

It was hard for the green-eyed boy, having to watch as the water at the base of the shower stall ran red with the dried blood as it was washed away. He bravely inspected the damage with his fingers and flinched. He hoped he didn’t get an infection.

The water helped his aching muscles and he enjoyed the feeling of it running over his skin. He still felt dirty, and as much as he washed the feeling stayed.

Too soon Laurent made a noise of impatience and Edward regretfully turned off the spray of water. He dried himself thoroughly, marginally pleased to see that his wounds had not reopened while showering.

“Is there anything I can wear?” Edward whispered, longing to cover himself up.

Laurent tossed his white boxers at him.

Edward slipped them on. Laurent still had a hold of the steel cuffs, so he obediently held out his hands before him so they could be reattached.

“Come on. The food will be cold now.”

Laurent led Edward back out into the lounge room area. The teen looked for his brother in the dining room, but Emmett was not there. But before he could become too overwhelmed with anxiety he spotted Emmett and Jasper in the corner of the lounge room, free of the chairs but handcuffed just like him. Between them were some paper bags from a fast food restaurant.

“Go sit with your brother,” Laurent commanded, but there was no force to his voice.

Edward stumbled over to where Emmett was sitting. His older brother had been watching him intently, a look of pain marring his face. Edward didn’t even care that Felix was sitting on one of the sofas watching them.

“Edward?” Emmett whispered, concerned.

“Emmett,” Edward broke into a sobbing heap on his brother’s lap. Emmett’s jaw flexed it the sight of his distressed sibling and he did his best to wrap his cuffed arms around him.

Crying quietly, Edward held onto his brother’s chest. He didn’t know if Emmett knew what had happened to him last night.

While Edward cried, Jasper scooted closer to the two, hovering protectively as a way of comfort.

“Shh, it’s okay, Eddie. Shh. Everything will be alright. We’re together and Dad will do everything in his power to get us out of here.”

Edward shook his head. That wasn’t what was upsetting him so much.

Emmett squeezed his arms tighter around Edward and took a deep breath. “Shh,” he continued to console his youngest sibling. “I know, okay? It will be alright. I won’t let him touch you again.”

The shudder could not be suppressed by Edward. He calmed enough to whisper out a few words.

“But how...?”

Emmett looked down at Edward with a form of understanding. “We... could hear it all.”

Edward nodded. He felt sick.

It took a little longer, but Edward managed to control himself and he sat up. Emmett and Jasper stayed very close to him. With his bigger brother, and brother’s best friend by his side, he felt safer, protected. Everything would be alright... for now.

“Come on, Edward. You have to eat something, okay?”

Nodding mutely, Edward accepted the cold burger. He picked at it and stomached as much as he could, keeping it down with a bottle of water.

When they were done eating, Edward expected Laurent and Felix to separate them back into their rooms, but both men were busy with their own things; Laurent on the computer and Felix watching some sort of sport on a portable TV. It seemed they were being given some time together.

Edward tucked his knees up to his chest and leant against Emmett then he bravely wiggled his toes until they came into contact with Jasper’s leg. He was very cold and nonverbally reached out for some warmth. Old feelings of rejection were there as Edward waited to be pushed away. But, instead, Jasper slid closer to him, tightening the gap so the two bigger boys’ could share their body heat with him.

Feeling content for the moment, Edward shut his eyes and dozed.

As he let his mind wander on the precipice of sleep he imagined being back at home. He would have hidden his Christmas presents in his room until the night before when he’d put them under the tree. He thought about how his Dad would come and muck around with him, trying to find out what he’d be getting. Edward would never tell and they’d laugh. Then, if his Dad wasn’t too busy with work, the two of them would play a few games of Wii tenpin bowling – Carlisle’s favourite.

Later on, his mum would call him to the kitchen, asking for his help with the dinner. As much as Edward pretended to grouch about such a task, he secretly enjoyed the alone time with his Mum. She was a brilliant cook, and it was one of her passions, along with remodelling houses and other forms of architecture. Esme was very sure when it came to cooking, knowing exactly when to do what and create a perfect dinner. Edward was sometimes amazed at her ability.

Then his family would sit down for dinner.

A faint smile came to Edward’s lips.

Until the door banged and his green eyes snapped open.

James and Demetri were back.
