There's something strange about these guys, Sapphire felt it, she shivered and wished she never made the ugly choice of coming to visit Jose for the first time.

There's one thing confusing her, there is this one guy that seems to be trying hard to relate a message to her but she can't comprehend.

Sapphire is a model, her great figure and physique got her too many awards for the past two years since she started her modeling journey.

She has lived more indoor life, an introvert that puts her all into sketching and designing shoes, it was her mother that brought her to the spotlight two years ago.

She became a popular public figure but that didn't make her move an inch from her comfort zone except for today.

Her social media sites were all registered with her stage name, SKY. She thought of doing something new for Christmas.

For the first time in history, she made a decision that has nothing to do with her family or friends, she walked out of her comfort zone, and to her, it's freedom.

Then, why is she scared? Why is she doubting her self made decision? Why doesn't she feel free and comfortable amidst these men?

She chose to refer to every single person in there as men because there are only three girls who are obviously tomboys, they are no different from the men.

It was with considerable attention to their soft voices and steps that she noticed the three of them are female.

They smoked, took hard drugs, and drank alcohol to their hearts fill.

The only person who has not taken or said anything ever since she came is the guy that hasn't taken his eyes off her.

"Hello, Sky?" Jose's voice startled her even when he saw him approach.

He sat down beside her and grinned, he showed off a set of yellow teeth and Sky found it hard to believe she just put herself in a big mess.

Their looks alone explained all, she could even swear they are cultists with their body language and all the slang.

"Welcome to Badlands. You are free to take or drink anything!" Jose said and everyone in the room laughed except that one guy.

The clubhouse is illuminated by different types and colors of light.

She could see just a few faces clearly, and gladly, that guy's face happened to be among the top ones she can see.

He's seated opposite her, the round table they all sat at was so large that it took a great space in the club room.

However, two of the girls danced with four other men, the men touched them anywhere and anyhow and Sky felt it was her that is being molested.

Yes, she is a model, popular, and never knew pain or suffering or exposed to much danger as she perceives she must be right now, but she's modest.

Sky's fear increased as the seconds ticked by, she clutched her purse and held her phone tight between her thighs.

"I don't want to take anything, thank you," She said with an uneasy smile.

He lighted a cigarette and puffed the smoke on her face, she coughed chronically and sneezed as well.

How stupid she was. You are wondering how she fell prey into the hands of these hoodlums?

Just anticipate, the bombshell is coming!

Her heart did flip-flops when Jose placed a short gun in front of her on the table, she didn't need any soothsayer to tell her what she has gotten into.

"You look more beautiful than the pictures I saw, am I not lucky?" He toyed with her hair and the others jeered her.

"And she smells rich!" One of the girls said humorously.

"Tyrant, how much do you predict her phone is worth?" A guy standing beside the odd guy who has been staring at Sky asked.

Badlands? Tyrant? What sort of names is that? Sky wished the ground would just split open and swallow her up.

The worst part of this situation is that she didn't inform anyone where she was going, and another is that she is far from home.

"Babe, I think it's better you eat because we love girls with energy and food gives you the ability to perform magic in bed" one of the men dancing came around her.

He trailed his hand through her earlobe and grinned nastily. "I like naughty rides, you will love me after we collaborate"

Sky brushed off his hand and gathered enough courage to talk to the man that brought her to such a ridiculous place.

"Jose, why would you bring me here? You told me that we are meeting alone and what's this about?" She questioned thoroughly.

"Wow, you have enough wits, Sky angel. I have always known you're brave and one of the admirably beautiful and strong ladies out there" Jose said.

"Point of correction, Miss America, his name is Tyrant and he loves raw food, I hope you are as strong in bed as you are out there" one of the girls replied.

"Badbitch, you don't have to be harsh on her, she's as good as a newbie in Badlands," Jose said lifting a bottle of liquor to his lips.

"I like your name, Sky. Just like one of us here that answers Skype! That's me, am I not handsome?" the guy that touched her hair took pleasure in touching her upper arm.

"Take me out of here, Jose!" She shrunk.

"One, my name is Tyrant, okay? Two, You want to go? Fine, just for you to know that I am a good person, go!" Tyrant said taking more liquor.

Sky stood up to her stunning height and walked briskly towards the little door that leads to the dirty areas of the country, it's really a Badland.

"Hold it! My name is Bulldog, I don't waste time to smack stubborn people down especially beautiful and established ones" Another person blocked her way.

He's more an elephant than just a bull because he is very bulky and extremely built with muscles that can scare a lion away.

What has she brought upon herself? How will she get away from these people and God, what are they planning to do with her?!

"Let me go!" She cried out when Bulldog grabbed her and lifted her to his shoulder, her phone and handbag were snatched immediately by Skype.

"A big room is ready in the base of the building, Bull" Bird, one of the girls informed as they all went down underground stairs.

"Gage, take the gun and follow up, don't be a dummy!" Tyrant called the guy that hasn't said or done anything since the arrival of Sky.

He felt sad and withdrawn as if he wasn't enjoying any of it.

"Ok" Gage obeyed the instruction but he walked behind and made sure he didn't lock any of the doors they passed through for reasons best known to him.

Bulldog tossed Sky in a bed that reeks of innocent blood, wasted souls, anguish, and worst nightmares.

That moment, she knew it was too late to shout for help as they encircled her and Tyrant undressed first grinning wickedly like a lion about to devour its prey.

"Jose, I beg you, don't do this to me..." Tears filled her eyes and blurred her vision.

"Don't worry, we will be gentle, miss popular!" Tyrant mocked and the others laughed at her.

"Should we also help you remove your clothes?" Hoodie, an Irish accented guy asked showing off his glistening teeth, he must be proud of the fact that he has clean teeth, unlike the others.

Maybe the calm and isolated, tall and good-looking young man has a better one than Hoodie's if he would just smile.

Sky wound her shaking hands over her body and went on her knees, she cried and pleaded with no one in particular.

"I haven't done this before, please, don't do this to me. I will give you whatever you want, I have money and my phone is expensive!!"

"Aww, what a pity, you are more expensive than those things and we will also help you keep them, okay?" Tyrant poked fun at her.

Sky's eyes widened when he was fully undressed and her eyes caught his big shark, "Oh God! No!! This is not happening to me"

"I don't want to dirty or waste your expensive package, undress now!!" Tyrant's demonic part disclosed as he stood shamelessly naked in front of too many eyes.

"Jose, please..." Someone struck her from behind which made her fall on the bed whimpering inwardly to avoid another blow.

"Beautiful, I like a serene environment" Tyrant laughed and bent over her.

Her breaths came quickly as she perceived the mixture of hard drugs and alcohol from Tyrant as his face was just an inch away from hers.

He gripped her hair with one hand and used the other to tear loose her red gown. She became too weak to even blink an eye.

"Let's see if she's really innocent, you know how they always claim to be, making me feel like I'm the only deflowered babe out there " Bird ridiculed.

"Imagine! A celebrity that snaps pics with hot men, damn hot dudes! I ain't gonna fucking believe that!" Skype disparaged.

"Seriously, she wants us to believe those dudes haven't tasted her, don't be surprised if the next news on-air is her taking selfies with her child" Bulldog hissed.

"Please, don't do this" Sky forced out when Tyrant tore off her gown and left her almost naked like a whore.
