Chapter 12

Raine was completely out of it. She had no clue what day it was, what time it was, nor could she guess how long she had been in that room. Day in and out, she stared at the white walls, only daring to move when she knew Voncile wasn’t in the house. She had gotten all the way to ten thousand when it came to counting sheep. Her thoughts of Kasen had stopped. There was no reason to think about the love of her life, especially since she didn’t think she would ever see him again.

After what Voncile had shown her the other day, Raine knew that she was in the hands of one sick bitch. Voncile had come into the room with one of Omar’s fingers. She laughed about cutting it off and said that it looked like a barbecued hot dog when she put it over a fire. Raine didn’t see a damn thing funny, but at that moment, she laughed right along with Voncile. In fact, she started to talk to Voncile as if they were really friends, hoping that her new attitude toward Voncile would somehow get her to come to her senses.

With her hands still tied behind her back, Raine stood up and paced the floor. The other day, she had rammed herself into the door and wound up hurting her shoulder. It was bruised, but she didn’t think it was broken. Voncile was not there during the day, so Raine used that time to try anything to get out of there. She kicked the door and slammed her body against it, but nothing worked. Raine felt like giving up.

Raine leaned over and vomited in the pot Voncile had left for her. She had been feeling so queasy lately, probably from the nasty food Voncile brought in when she bothered to feed her at all. She had also been feeling dizzy, probably because she was starving.

When she heard movement downstairs, she knew that Voncile was home, and she raced back to her spot and sat down. Shortly after, Voncile unlocked the door and came into the room, rolling a TV on a cart. She appeared excited about something.

“You look awfully happy, Voncile,” Raine said, trying to keep up the friendly attitude she had been displaying lately.

“Girl, all I can say is things have been going very well for me. Eventually you’ll see why, but for now, I brought this TV in here so you can watch it. I know you get bored sometimes, and there really isn’t much in here for you to do.”

“No, there’s not,” Raine said. “And thank you again. You’ve been too kind to me. I do appreciate your kindness.”

When Voncile turned her back to plug in the TV, Raine rolled her eyes.

Voncile looked at the clear picture on the TV then turned to Raine. “Looks like you’re in business. What channel would you like me to put on?”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll watch Sesame Street if I have to.”

Voncile laughed. She put the TV on BET and then headed to the door without another word.
