She can't help but think of her twin siblings. How are they now? they must have gotten taller and more mischievous. A tear escaped from Aurora’s eyes, looking back at her life. Really, things have become messy. She swore to never cry again and be a strong and independent woman, a woman who can do anything and won’t complain about anything…
Yet here she is, sulking and crying on the dirty floor locked in an unknown place with the woman she hates who happens to be somewhat dead. Really, she can’t wait to escape from this hell.
Before she knew it, Aurora’s eyelids became heavy and she closed her eyes to rest for a bit.
It felt like forever but Aurora didn’t know that she fell asleep. Her eyes fluttered open as she was awoken by the feel of someone touching her. She instantly tried to sit upright but the person who was holding her kept her down, and her back hit a knee so the person must have had her body lying on her lap. Her hands were about to hit the person in an alert but she stopped when she saw it was Vivienne, holding her and caressing her hair.
“Stop moving and go back to sleep,” Vivienne said in a commanding voice. Aurora looked at her with confusion written all over her. It felt like another person was right here with her, not Vivienne…

She opened her mouth but found her voice was hoarse and dry, “What…happened?” She tried to croak out and Vivienne sighed.
“When I woke up, you were burning high with fever and you were shaking in your sleep so much.” Vivienne replied, “It had gotten so cold so I made you lay on my lap.”
Aurora nodded, quite surprised. She didn’t feel strange at all before she fell asleep. Is this might be because…the food she ate that they gave?
But forget that, she’s surprised to see Vivienne fully awake now. “I thought you were already dead, you weren’t breathing.”
Vivienne nodded, “I thought too. But by some miracle, I woke up out of nowhere earlier.”
Aurora nodded, loking ahead out of silence. Now she could feel it….her body was heavy and her mind was aching with pain. She hissed, breathing deeply and concentrating.
Just then, the door opened and two of the kidnappers that hit Aurora yesterday appeared, their expressions sinister.
“Oh, you finally woke up bitch.” Said the other man as he saw Vivienne, eyes glaring at him.
“Thought you were dead? Well anyway, that would be much better so we can hit you two.”
“I’ll take her hit, don’t you dare touch her.” And with that, they situated themselves on the two of them, their hands now holding a different weapon instead of the same belt from yesterday. Today, it was a pair of wood.
“I’ll take her to hit, don’t you dare touch her,” Vivienne spoke up and that made the two men turn their heads at her, including Aurora who looked confused.

“Vivienne-” Aurora tried to speak but Vivienne gave her a serious look. Aurora gulped, knowing what she meant.
So Vivienne is sacrificing herself…and wants them not to hurt her? It felt so unusual for her to do this, something unbelievable and strange. And Aurora is not used to this kind of hers.
The man stopped, now chuckling at them, “Oh, I thought you were enemies? Are you getting mushy with each other now and besties? Or planning your escape?”
“Don’t ask any questions and get this over with.” Said Vivienne in a tight tone and the two raised their eyebrows, somewhat taking this as a challenge.
“Wow, who knew this crying brat is able to talk in that tone?”
Aurora gulped, looking at Vivienne with a bit of concern as the two men started to position the hardwood on Vivienne’s back and started to hit her. Aurora gritted her teeth, watching in silence as Vivienne silently closed her eyes and held on, still determined.
The torture took longer than yesterday, maybe because they got triggered by Vivienne’s words and challenged her on how much she’ll hold on. Aurora counted each second and found it was over thirty minutes, just Vivienne alone taking it.

Vivienne suddenly fell to the floor as blood splattered all over her body, and blood came out from her rmouth. Aurora felt a bit guilty, seeing her state right now.
Vivienne is a famous celebrity that holds great status in the industry, but she’s here, taking all the hits, damaging her skin, and risking her health. If her fans only knew what she’s experiencing right now…
The two men seemed satisfied at Vivienne’s state commenting, “You deserve this, brat,” before walking away and leaving the room.
With the sounds of their steps, Aurora confirmed that the room was soundproof.
Aurora looked at Vivienne, “Why?”
Without looking at her, Vivienne spoke up, “You took all their hits yesterday, so we’re now a tie…” She said, and couldn’t even raise her head now, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m only doing this for myself. And don't say thank you. say that when we got out of this damn place.`` Her usual bratty voice said, and Aurora felt at ease knowing she had some energy to be herself like that.
“So I got sick, and you just got hit. How fun our life is here.” Aurora said sarcastically and can’t help but chuckle bitterly at their situation. Who knew what their fate would turn out like this? One moment, they were just fighting in her hotel room, the second they were kidnapped and stuck in the same room to look out for each other. Her past self would have been hitting her right now.
“You know, you're not that bad,” Aurora commented, and Vivienne looked at her with a small smile.
“You two.”
Just then, Aurora felt bile coming up and vomited on the floor, feeling all her guts spilling on the floor.
“Eww, that was so breaking the moment, Aurora.” Vivienne jokes, still helping her in holding her hair to avoid being stained in her vomit.

“Well, I’m right, they really put something in the food to make my stomach react like this.” Said Aurora.
Vivienne gasped, “Oh my god, you ate that weird thing?”
Aurora sighed, “Yes…
After recovering, Aurora turned to Vivienne with a determined look. “Look, are you desperate to get out of here?”
“Of course!”
Aurora nodded, “Good, then I need you to conserve your energy for my plan. Please cooperate with me, as we can’t wait for help to come, we have to do something now. So, I tried counting each second and with the frequency on how they give us food and as estimated, it’s our third day here. You know this room is soundproof and has no windows, and the only place we could escape is through that door,” She explained, pointing at the room where the two of the men just disappeared into. “So, I plan on this…we’ll wait for the men…”
Vivienne listen to her intently, focusing on her and nodding her head and as she finished, she laughed and high-fived her, “That’s great!”
Aurora glanced around and silenced her, “Shh, don’t act happy, we never know there's a camera here, they might see us rejoicing…”
“Oh yeah, sorry about that..” Vivienne smiled sheepishly, “But do you think we’ll maange that?”
“Of course, if we combine our energy, then we can do it.”
With plans in their mind, Aurora and Vivienne stared at the door intently as each second passed. both of them are counting seconds in their head, waiting for the men to be back on their torture.
Just then, it didn’t take long for the door to open, but they stopped, realizing something was out of their plan. Aurora forgot this situation might happen! Their master was with them now! Now damn. Vivienne glanced at Aurora with a nervous look, not confident in their plan to work now.

The master of the kidnappers grinned at them sinisterly and said, “Well well well, I missed you two, how are you?”
Aurora gritted her teeth, wondering about his sudden appearance. Did they put secret microphones in them to be able to hear their plans? Dammit, that was careless of Aurora! If she had known, she shouldn’t have said everything to Vivienne!
“We’re going to move you to another place, so better behave babygirls,” said the master. “boys, do it.”
