Olivia -

I was woken by the agonizing screams. Panic and terror momentarily paralyzed me as the memories of rape and brutal beatings overwhelmed me. I tried to move my arms, but a sharp pain shot through my body. One of my eyes was swollen to shut, so I had to make do with one eye. Peering in the dark, I saw one of those monstrous shapes moving.

I shivered in a cold cell and pulled myself into a sitting position on the damp earthen floor.

I was locked in a nightmare, and there was no escape. Fear had been my constant companion in the last week. I craned my neck to hear the dull slap of flesh against flesh, accompanied by the shrieks that echoed in the murky darkness of the prison. They were doing it again.

The smell of blood and death overlaid the dank smell of decay. The shrieks had now reduced to a whimper. I wished to die, it was preferable to the monster I had turned into. I had become a monster just like them.

I was on my way home from my waitressing job when two men grabbed me and hauled me to a waiting van. I was petrified.

I did not know what kind of creatures my abductors were, but I found out soon. They were shapeshifting monsters incapable of being reasoned with, much less pity. All of them were pure evil as they laughed and revealed in each pain inflicted on their victims. Their eyes glittered with insanity when their prey screamed and begged for mercy.

I remembered clearly the first time I came upon their leader.

He was hideously grotesque! Although his face was shadowed by the hooded robe he wore, his eyes burned red in the deep pits of his eye sockets. He radiated an almost tangible air of evil.

I had screamed in horror when he stepped close and roughly grabbed my face. I knew instantly he wasn't human. I wasn't a believer in the supernatural, but after that encounter I was.

I was raped practically from the moment I was abducted, in the van. They passed me around and took turns in violating and beating me. Pleading and crying did not move them.
