That they found in the basement...

Xena's POV
Im alone. Its been god knows how long. Ive been living in this basement since i was 23. But nobody ever came looking for me. Im just the worthless whore that disappeared. My stomach is growling. Im beyond hunger. Im at that point where I've gone so long without eating that if i were to eat something it would come right back up. Im in my usual position with my hands bound together and connected to a rope that is tied to the ceiling. When i look down i can see my ribs and hips protruding from my skin, showing off my suffering. Maybe someday my saviors will come and set me free. I have gotten barely any sleep in a very long time. it is extremely uncomfortable to sleep because if i fall asleep then by legs give out thus putting all my weight on my wrists and the rope. My feet can barely reach the ground as is... Then i hear it. A door opening and voices. They seem to be male. Not too old. And footsteps. I can only make out one set of footsteps out and they are getting louder. Louder. Louder. And the door opens. Light comes flooding in and its almost blinding. I almost never see light. The room is always pitch black. As my eyes adjust i can make out the figure of a boy. Maybe in his late 20s. As i see his face the only emotion as shock. I hear him speak and he has the most beautiful voice, "Guys come dow here now and one of you bring a really good knife." I can feel my eyes widen in fear. He must have noticed because he says to me in a very soft comforting tone "Don't worry we don't want to hurt you. we need to get you out of these ropes. And then we just want to hear your story." I nod and as i do, i remember something . I quietly speak. "Ummm what is the date today? And who are you?"
"Im Tony an its July 12, 2014." And just then three more boys come streaming in, one holding a knife. All of them stop dead in there tracks when they see me. Tony begins to get the ropes off and once i am freed, the boy with short hair picks me up bridal style. I don't argue considering how tired i am. I feel as if i could just fall asleep in his arms. Not in a romanic way just in a 'i haven't slept a full night in god knows how long' way. Once we get to what i assume is the living room, the boy called tony begins speaking. "Hello. I know this is probably scary for you. I want you to know that we don't want to hurt you. We want to know what happened and then we want to help you. So could you tell us a little but about you?" I nod slightly and realize that the shortest of the boys had put a blanket around be because i was only in a bra and underwear. I begin my story. "Well my name is Xena Fox. I used to lead a pretty uneventful life as a tattoo artist. I loved rock and metal music. When i was 18 my parents disowned me because i didn't want to go to college and so i moves from Portland, Oregon to LA. I lived a decent life and on my 23 birthday went to a bar to celebrate even though i was alone. All my life I've been a nobody, so when i man came into the bar that night and took me away, no one noticed, and no one came looking for me. That was July 6, 2009. And according to him," I point to Tony. "Its 2014. So I've been here for 5 years and 6 days. And i trust you boys. I don't think that you want to hurt me but i would appreciate a little bit of information about the guys who saved my life. Even just your name and age, and you all look a lot like a band i used to know. Its a little bit funny. And if i sound crazy then its because i haven't slept properly in a very long time" All of them look at me with sympathy in their eyes. I really do trust them. I don think they want to hurt me. The short boy speaks saying "My name is Vic and I'm 31. I am the lead singer for Pierce the Veil." The one who carried me speaks next "Im Jaime but everyone calls me Hime. Im 28 and i play bass for Pierce the Veil." Now the boy who found me speaks "Hi I'm Tony. Im 28 and i play guitar for Pierce the Veil." and lastly the only other boy. "Im Mike. Im 29. I play drums for Pierce the Veil and Vic is my brother." after everyone was done speaking i remembered something. "I thought you all looked familiar. I saw you at Warped '08. I loved your music." Tony responded saying "Thank you. You seem very tired. How about i show you to the guest bedroom and you can sleep and then we can talk about what to do, when you wake up." I look at him like he is god. I get a real bed? I owe this guy my life. "Alright." I whistler and he slowly leads me past the kitchen and up the stairs and into a beautiful bedroom. Who knew the place i had called my prison was so beautiful. Tony spoke again "Well Xena the bathroom is over there." He points to the far all o the room. "And you can shower, sleep whatever. Oh and give me one second." He runs off and a minute later comes back holding a shirt and gym shorts. "These are Vics. He's pretty small so i think they'll fit." I nod "Thank you so much Tony. I really do owe you, and the others, my life." He smiles and leaves the room. I slowly walk to the shower and wash myself for the first time in what feels like forever. I get out feeling cleaner than i have in years and i put on the close Tony gave me. They are a bit big because I'm so thin and i crawl into the bed. Its like laying on a cloud in heaven. And the warm blankets with soft pillows are amazing. And as my head hits the pillow my eyes shut and i am pushed into a deep and dreamless sleep.
