The Academy

“What are we doing?” Cassie asked.

“You’ll find out when I tell you.” James snapped.

The urge to punch his pretty little face was way too strong, but I knew better. The last thing I needed was to end up in a bed with Ben, Danny, and James.

We were led down a steep, spiral staircase to what seemed to be a lounge bar in a very fancy, and large room. It could probably hold comfortably 100 people.

“In order to be a proper slave, you will learn that it is a must to do whatever your leader tells you to do. This also includes becoming their waitress in a sense, and in order to do that you need to learn how to make drinks, both alcoholic and not.” James explained.

“Please don’t use that word.” A girl with long blond hair whispered.

“Slave?” James asked.

“Yeah.” She shakily replied.

“You obviously didn’t listen to what Ben said, you are our property until you’re let go.” He hissed, walking towards her in a menacing fashion.

“They’re psychotic.” I whispered to Cassie.

“Shut your mouth and each of you get behind a work station at the kitchen.” James instructed.

We did as he told us to do and suddenly no other than the one and only Ashley Purdy arrived at the bottom of the stairs and my heart sunk to the floor. Ashley was infamous for being incredibly sexual and now after being literally called slaves, and property he shows up. I’m just about ready to die.

“What a nice little selection of bodies.” Ashley chuckled.

“Bodies?” Cassie snarled, quiet enough for only me to hear.

“Thanks, we tried real hard but in the end we made what we believed to be the best decisions.” James replied to Ashley.

“Why is such a lovely young girl covering up herself?” Ashley wondered, literally stalking towards me.

“We’ve had some difficulty with her, so she was sent to Ben and Danny last night.” James casually stated like it was nothing.

“Don’t be embarrassed baby, it’s just an outfit.” Ashley purred.

“Whore is just a title, but I don’t exactly want to be known like that.” I snapped.

“Well you are now our wh___, and that’s a lot different.” Ashley told me.

“Take the hoodie off.” James commanded.

“With sex bomb in the room? I think not.” I snapped quickly.

“Do it Bells.” Cassie whispered.

There was a sense of reason in her voice. I took off the hoodie and threw it on the ground next to me.

“I can’t wait to watch you getting broke in.” Ashley giggled.

Ashley picked up the hoodie and walked back upstairs.

“Soon love you’ll learn manners, but for now I want you to all grab some vodka, tequila, rum, triple sec, sweet and sour mix, coca cola, a shaker, some ice, and a glass.” James instructed.

“Are you joking?” Cassie sincerely asked.

“You haven’t learned this yet dearies, but you do what we say no matter what.” James told us.

I was the first one to turn to the large fridge behind my station (we each had one) and pulled out the ingredients setting them on my counter and then I grabbed the shaker and a glass.

He slowly talked us through it and within fifteen minutes each one of us had made a Long Island Ice Tea.

“This is so much easier than I thought, and less scary.” Cassie whispered to me.

“I know, I was expecting to be beat.” I admitted.

James quickly hushed us and instructed us to make three other drinks, a margarita, a southern comfort, and a cosmopolitan. I felt so stupid. But as long as I wasn’t being whipped or being forced to sleep with some of them I was fine. James was snippy with his demands but he couldn’t be too pissed off based on the fact that we were actually doing what he told us to do.

“Well done, you guys have done much better than anyone was expecting. We’ll go over a few cafe drinks and then you’ll go up to lunch where you’ll eat and then switch classes.” James told us.

“Cool.” Cassie muttered.

James took all of the booze and put it back into the cupboards, but I got a little bit curious.

“Are we allowed to drink?” I wondered.

“What do you think?” James snapped.

“I’ll take that as a no.” I whispered, Cassie chuckling,

“Did I say you could talk?” James asked.

He gave me the look that said, answer and I’ll kill you so I just shut up. Once again he called out what we needed to grab and we did. The next two hours passed and we had learned to make about 10 to twelve coffee drinks. Turns out we can’t drink those either.

“Class one is over, they only get harder for you guys.” James told us.

He dismissed us and we all walked upstairs back to the kitchen where there were no guys but there were 30 other girls.

“Where are the other girls?” I asked the group.

“Not back yet, I think they’re recovering right now.” A girl said, timidly.

“From what?” I wondered, getting a little nervous from other girls.

“Kuza.” A girl spat as she along with 4 other girls walking into the room. I noticed one of the girls was the one that had been crying, her eyes were completely empty and you could tell she was beyond terrified.

“What happened?” Cassie asked them.

“Pain, that’s what happened.” She spat.

“Please help.” Someone screamed from down the hall.

“Stay here.” I told them, as I ran out into the hall and ended up in the gymnasium where 4 girls were standing around another girl’s body.

“We were done with class and heading to the cafeteria and she just passed out. Vinny said she was fine and that it was her problem.” The girl panted out, they were all clearly physically drained.

“What went down?” I asked.

“The workout from hell. Vinny had us run 5 miles and then do at least a hundred pushups and situps, then we lifted these huge ass weights and Melissa couldn’t take it.” She told me.
“Can you get me some water?” I asked the girl.

She nodded and ran in the direction that I had come from.

“Bella.” Taylor called to me.

I looked behind me and saw that all 50 guys were just coming in from inside and they were dripping with sweat. Some of them even looked rougher than the girls.

“Are you okay?” He panted.

“Yeah, I made drinks for hours on end, are you?” I wondered.

“Luckily Chance and I are used to vigorous work outs, the other guys not so much.” He told me.

“I’ve got water.” The girl screamed coming back.

She handed it off to me so I took it and regretfully poured it over the girls face to shock her into waking up. It worked. She jolted up and screamed really loud.

“It’s okay.” I told her.

“I want to go home.” She cried.

Just as I was about to tell her we all did, Cassie came running into the room, breaking up the huge wall of guys in front of her.

“What’s wrong now?” I asked.

“We need to go and find Vinny apparently. We’ve got two minutes.” She informed me.

“Taylor please just stay here and watch her as long as you can.” I pleaded to him.

“Stay safe!” Taylor screamed at me as I bolted down the hall with Cassie down the hall.

“Where do you think he is?” I asked.

“Who the hell knows.” She spat.

“Let’s try outside.” I suggested.

We quickly arrived at the door and saw Vinny standing in the yard towards the track, facing it.

“I see death in their future.” She growled walking towards him alongside me.

“Careful of what you say.” Vinny chastised us, finally turning around.

“Whatever.” We mumbled in sync.

“Found him!” One of the other girls in our group yelled, as she along with the 2 other girls came running from out the same doors we did.

“I hope you’re comfy in what you’re in because for the next 5 hours you will be put through the most rigorous workout you’ve ever had in your life. There are many types of ways to instill obedience. Draining you physically is one way and that’s what we’re doing right now.” Vinny stated.

“I’m in lingerie!” I cried out.

“Yes, yes you are, and you look good in it too.” Vinny replied.

“Just tell us what to do.” Cassie snapped.

“The three of you go and start running on the track, don’t stop either, we’re watching. Cassie and Bella, you’re going to the weight room with Mike and I.” Vinny announced.

“Head on in and wait for us to come and get you.” Vinny instructed.

Cassie and I nodded and walked back into the house and just stood there waiting for someone to arrive. About 5 minutes later a door somewhere near us slammed open and Mike walked in with shorts and a loose tank top.

“That looks good on you. However, I can’t wait to see it off of you.” Mike purred.

“What would Vic think if he knew about this?” I asked him, quickly trying to awaken his humanity.

“You could just ask me.” Vic stated, suddenly walking out from the hallway that Mike came from.

“Well shit.” Cassie coughed out.

“How many of you are here?” I asked.

“A lot more than you’d think.” Vic chuckled.

“I need you two down in the gym now.” Mike stated.

Cassie and I complied and walked to the gym where we were met with Vinny and bench press benches with heavy weights all around.

“Lay down.” Vinny stated, patting the bench closest to him.

I just stood there, not willing to move and that’s when Mike grabbed me from behind and threw me down on the bench. I won’t lie, it stung.

“You too love.” Mike said to Cassie walking back towards her.

I shot up to go and keep him away from her but Vinny was apparently smart and obviously fast. He placed a bar with 75 pounds on each side basically in my grip and I had no option but to try and hold it. If I let it drop there was sure to be some damage to my body.

“I can’t hold it.” I huffed about a minute later as Mike stood in such a way that Cassie couldn’t get past him.

“Is that my problem?” Vinny snickered.

“Yeah kind of.” I gasped, my grip starting to weaken faster and faster.

“One thing you two need to understand, especially you my love is that we rule the house here. We control every aspect of this house and the people in it, which means you two as well. We even have the capability of dangling your sweet little lives in our hands.” Vinny told us.

As soon as he was done talking he lifted the weight off of me, set it behind my head on the resting bar and I could literally feel the rush of air going back into my lungs. I kept coughing though and sputtering just to fully start breathing normally again.

“If you thought that was tough, you haven’t seen anything yet.” Mike stated.

I looked over and I realized that Mike was standing behind Cassie who was now laying on the bench herself. I could easily tell that he was getting ready to be her spotter.

“Have you ever bench pressed?” Vinny asked me, suddenly standing behind me like Mike was to Cassie.

“Yeah, like 50 pounds.” I answered.

“Sucks for you.” Vinny snickered and quickly dropped an even heavier weight onto me, but I caught it before it crushed every bone in my body.

“I can’t hold it.” Cassie cried out from next to me, she was in the same predicament as I was.

I tried to breathe to make it seem easier, but the searing burn in my body that filled every inch of my body refused to be tamed.

“Do not drop the weight.” Mike growled at us both.

My arms started to shake and quiver and sweat started to drip down my face, I was starting to think that an actual workout in hell wouldn’t be this bad. I looked back to notice that Vinny was sadistically smiling at me and before I knew it the weight dropped and drug me down into unconsciousness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Wake up.” Someone screamed, slapping my face and pouring warm water all over my body.

My eyes shot open and I saw that I was in the middle of the running track with Cassie next to me and Vinny over both of our bodies.

“I’m so done with this.” Cassie groaned, sitting up.

I agreed with her and took a look down towards my stomach and saw a huge bruise forming on my stomach as well as on Cassie’s which was showing through her light weight shirt.

“Get up and start running around the track. I want 5 miles which is 20 laps.” Vinny demanded.

“We just woke up from being knocked out with giant weights.” Cassie exclaimed.

“The sky is blue.” Vinny responded.

What I’d give to beat him to death. However, I knew better. Cassie and I slowly but surely got up and started running on the lap.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“When I shoot them all in their pretty little faces I’ll be okay.” She snarled.

I laughed, we were definitely on the same page. I was pretty used to running , although I wasn’t on a team I really enjoyed it. If you took out the fact that I was wearing lingerie and had been kidnapped by basically all of my favorite bands and been forced to sleep with them it wouldn’t be that bad.

We were rounding off our second lap when we saw all 50 guys in an orderly, almost militaristic formation jogging towards the track with no other than Zack Merrick leading them.

“Really, what the hell is he doing here?” I groaned, coming to a complete stop with Cassie right next to me.

We watched as Vinny walked over and started conversing with Zack. Cassie and I then spotted Taylor and Chance and we waved to them. They smiled back.

“Cassie, Bella, it looks like you’ll just have to run alongside the guys as they train today.” Vinny said.

“God you bassists must be really desperate if you need to kidnap girls to score.” I told Zack.

His face turned menacing and when he started to stalk towards me there was a tiny piece of me that was starting to worry about my safety.

“I don’t need to princess, but you, you were way too much to say no to.” Zack whispered in my ear.

“Let’s go!” Chance shouted.

“Continue, you still have 18 laps and this time no stopping.” Vinny told Cassie and I.

We rolled our eyes and started running and we caught up to Taylor and Chance.

“Is that girl okay?” I wondered.

“She’s really frazzled, no one would take a look at her though.” Taylor responded.

“No talking!” Vinny screamed.

“What a dick.” Chance scoffed.

“I know.” I mumbled under my breath.

The four of us ran in sync until we had hit a mile, Cassie’s legs as well as mine were starting to burn and it felt like they were actually on fire. Our pace slowed and for a bit Chance and Taylor’s did as well but Zack yelled and told them to go faster. We pushed through it until we couldn’t and we both fell down onto the grass in the middle of the track.

“Did anyone say to stop?” Vinny yelled, coming across the track.

“Kill me now.” Cassie groaned.

“Get up and keep running, you’ve got a mile left.” Vinny stated, finally standing behind both of our heads.

“I can’t.” I coughed out feeling my body literally shutting down.

“That’s a shame.” Vinny whined.

“Go to hell.” I spat.

“I’ll make you a deal. Tell me what you learned from doing this and I’ll let you both go.” Vinny proposed.

“You’ve got more power.” I muttered.

“Of course we do but not quite.” Vinny replied.

There was silence between the 3 of us was intense and finally Cassie rolled over and whispered “You broke us.”

“Exactly sweetheart, and it will only get worse. You will submit and become ours, that is true. Take your time but within 30 minutes I want you back inside. Once you’re inside you are free to relax.” Vinny told us, and then walked away back inside the house.

“Kill me.” I moaned, finally sitting up straight.

“How about we both shoot each other at the same time.” Cassie suggested.

“I love it.” I told her.

We then helped each other stand up and we started to walk back towards the house. Halfway past the field Taylor grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him.

“I need you to do something to help escape.” Taylor said.

“What?” I wondered.

“This sounds nuts but I need your trust 100% on this.” Taylor told me.

“Yeah, fine.” I said.

“You need to tell Danny that you want him and then when he takes you downstairs you need to seduce him.” Taylor whispered in my ear.

“You’re crazy.” I exclaimed.

“Shhh.” Taylor hushed me as I realized that Zack was now walking over towards us.

“Why?” I wondered.

“You’ve got to trust me. Don’t worry either someone will help you out before he can get too far.” Taylor said.

“I’ll do it.” I whispered.

“Good, you’ll help us all, but just make it believable.” He told me and then started running once Zack yelled at him.

I realized that Cassie was already in the door and I was just about to pass Zack when he gripped onto my arm.

“What?” I snapped.

“I’m going to enjoy watching you break.” He smirked.

I wrenched my arm out of his grip and ran into the house. Cassie was just sitting down in a chair and I sat down across the room from her.

“Did Taylor tell you?” Cassie asked.

Right as I was about to answer we were interrupted by Chris walking into the room and sitting in the chair between the two of us.

“How was your day?” He asked, leisurely reclining.

“Enjoyable, how about you? Did you take advantage of any other fans?” I questioned him.

In the blink of an eye he had gotten up and his gloved hand made swift and painful contact to my face. There was severe stinging that went along with it. Chris then kneeled down in front of me and took my face very gently into his hands.

“No my dear I didn’t. Not saying that I couldn’t have, however I’m holding back because when I take you it will be worth every single issue or problem that we’ve come across.” Chris whispered to me.

“You’re disgusting.” I replied.

He stood up and started walking out the door.

“When it’s dinner I expect you to stay in Asking Alexandria’s room, the disrespectful don’t eat.” Chris stated, finally disappearing.

He left, Cassie gave me a look of sorrow, and I caressed my stinging cheek. A wave of silence fell over us and time flew by.

“Bella it’s time for you to go back to our room.” Cameron announced walking into the room.

I didn’t even try to resist, that would be for later tonight. I got up without a word and went straight into the room I was in last night with no questions asked. I hopped up on the bed and Cameron locked the door behind me and that’s when I just sat down on the floor and mentally cursed myself for ever falling for these bands.

It was hard enough to not find a knife and kill them, but now I had to pretend like I wanted to get with Danny.

Once again, death would come so much more easily.
