<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #45B39D">"Damn it all...how could I let this happen to myself...?"</span></span> The 24 year old by the name of Lilly thought to herself as she trudged along unwillingly with the group of men that had "saved" her a few days ago; more like captured if you were to ask her. Green eyes constantly shifting between each individual knowing better than to let her guard down. Not that she could do much since they had taken all her weapons and backpack from her saying she could have it back once she agreed to <span style="font-style: italic">play nice</span>, whatever the hell that was suppose to mean. Thankfully, they had managed to not run into any runners or evolved undead on their travel thus far, mostly just slow ones. She knew they would just use her as bait if they got in a bind. <br/><br/>As they continued on their path to nowhere, they stumbled upon a thin but still feisty corpse who looked to be tangled in a mess of barbed wire. As they continued forward they found even more traps and unfortunately, or in her case fortunately, one of the men by the name of Roy got caught by one of the traps only to be quickly finished off by his "friend" Tony. The man barely flinched when he killed him. Lilly felt chills run down her spin as she saw this happen, her fear being fully brought to light. She already knew the group was bad news, but to what extent she hadn't been sure of until that moment. Her mind was racing through every conceivably horrible thing they would do with her once they found a place to hold up in.<br/><br/>Her thoughts were interrupted when they came upon the cabin that had been in the heart of all the traps. The home actually looked pretty inviting from the outside, but no one knew what to expect until they entered leaving her right outside the front door, all of them knowing she knew better than to attempt to run off, at least not in the dead of day. Lilly fiddled with the end of her long braid that held back her thick dark brown hair as she took in her surroundings in front of her before being interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps. <br/><br/>The youngest of the group Jake, probably a little younger than Lilly, came to the entrance and pulled her gruffly up by the arm. She quickly pulled away from him, glaring angrily. She knew Jake didn't have much of a backbone and it showed briefly in his face before grabbing her arm once more, this time more firmly. "Look, the Boss said if you behave you can come in. You don't want to be out here when night comes now do you?" He asked in a more threatening manner. Lilly's harsh look still didn't change even when the boy tried to act tougher. She knew he was right though, the day was soon to come to an end within the next few hours and being weaponless didn't help her situation. Sighing she nodded in bitter agreement. <span style="color: #45B39D">"Fine."</span> She spat as he shoved her through the entrance of the cabin, shutting the door behind them. "The little lady decided to agree Boss." Jake informed his leader from the bottom of the staircase. "Well done, now why don't you come on up here Missy? Let's have a little chat." Dex said from the top of the stairs. <br/><br/>Jake looked towards her and smirked. "You heard the man, go on up." She rolled her eyes at him and begrudgingly went up the steps entering into the room where Dex was standing looking out the window, only braking his gaze when she stood a few feet away from him.<br/> He smiled at her as he refilled his glass with the old bourbon he had found in one of the cabinets, taking a sip before speaking. "Come on a little closer now. You should really check out this view. This place is perfect." His free hand casually resting on his knife. Lilly eyed him for a moment, but carefully approached him after a moment. He turned her to face out the window, her body tensing at his touch. He just grinned and leaned down talking next to her ear. "Isn't it great? All this is <span style="font-style: italic">mine</span> now, just like you..." His voice trailing off as he finished off the rest of his drink, setting the glass on the table next to them. <br/><br/>"What do you think about that? I did save you after all." Dex tilted her chin up to look at him, his thumb grazing her lower lip. Lilly promptly bit down on his finger in silent protest only to receive a swift smack across her face. "You little bitch!" He snapped as he shoved her up against the wall his hand tightly gripping her neck. Lilly tried to loosen the hold, but the man was too strong. "I guess playing nice isn't going to work with you. Fine. Playing rough is more my taste anyway." Dexter licked his lips as his free hand made his way up her shirt. "You know for such a small girl you sure have a nice pair of tits." He commented as he felt her up. Lilly spat in his face angrily. He just laughed at her.<br/> "You know the more you resist the more it turns me on." He whispered. <br/><br/>Thankfully Anthem's voice could be heard from the bottom of the stairs. "Sir, there is someone headed in this direction. By the looks of it,<br/> he could be the man who lives here." Dexter cursed under his breath as he released his grip on her. "Of all the times..." He muttered.<br/> "Alright, give me a moment." He replied before turning his attention back to her. "This is far from over my dear." Tying her hands behind her back and her feet together tightly, not trusting to leave her alone free handed before making his way downstairs.<br/> <br/>Lilly watched as the man went down to the lower floor, not realizing until he was gone how badly she was shaking from fear. Tears fell silently down her face, hoping desperately that she could find a way to escape the mess she was in. She'd rather be fed to a hoard of the flesh eating monsters outside than be in the situation she was in now. <br/><br/>Even though she was fearful, her curiosity of who the man was drove her to carefully moving closer to the staircase, ensuring that she couldn't be seen from below.</div>
