Unable to move, unable to get away, Amanda felt herself being lifted, as if she weighed nothing and carried to a waiting van. She struggled and tried to scream, "hlphh". She was hauled roughly inside and thrown on the floor where she continued moving about , trying to get to her feet. The huge man slapped her, knocking her down to her knees. Feeling liked a caged animal, tears rolling down her face , the fear overwhelming, she tried to look around the van -for a clue as to why this was happening. Hearing a muffled scream she tried to focus in the dim lighted van, Unbelieving , she attempted to see who else was there - could it possibly be?….Rommph,? She finally was able to make out the shape of her best friend, Roxanne handing upside down. Before she could even process that thought - with a yank on her hair - she too was lifted and hung by her bound feet.

Amanda fought to loosen the binding ropes but was in no position to do anything. She tried to lift her head - her body fighting the bonds automatically, but the effort only made it more difficult to breath. She looked at Roxanne, seeing her own fear and bewilderment mirrored in Roxy’s eyes, wondering why this was happening to the two of them. Tears falling, breath hitching, choking on her own saliva , she tried to sway closer to her friend. Amanda knew it was useless but she continued to fight until the man came at her with a knife. He cut off their shirts and clamped their nipples, fastening them to each other. The pain was so unbearable, Amanda strived not to pass out. He left them hanging there, trying to scream, the door slammed leaving them in total darkness.

She heard the van start up and wondered where they would end up. The movement of the van, caused both girls to sway painfully against each other, sending jolts of pain from her nipples through her body. Ummgghh, tears running freely, the scarf in Amanda’s mouth making it almost impossible to breath or swallow. She tried to calm herself and hoped Roxy could do the same, but knew it was almost impossible. It felt like there were riding forever, the blood draining in her head making her dizzy and disorientated.

All she could think of was why her and Roxy? Where would they end up? Would they be tortured and killed? At this thought - her breathing seemed to stop - the fear too enormous to fight. She felt everything spin as the darkness took over and she went limp and passed out. Finally the van stopped and as the doors opened , two men looked at the half-naked girls hanging from the ceiling of the van. “ Now the fun begins,“ growled one to the other.
