It's Ellie and Satomi, one of the other cheerleaders, and Ellie's best friend. They descended the stairs and quickly walk over to your cage.
"Ah, good. You're awake", Ellie says with a grin. "Wanna beg me to return you to normal?".
"Would it do any good?", you ask sarcastically.
"Not really", Ellie replies. "But it would be quite amusing". She then taps on the bars of your cage as she says, "and..don't..take..that..tone..of..voice..with..me..littleman. Otherwise I'll get pissed off. And you really don't wanna piss me off..do you?".
You shake your head as a cold bolt of terror shoots down your spine. Ellie's grin turns into smile. "No you don't", she says softly.
"What're you gonna do with me?", you ask. "And why are all these other people here?".
"There here," Ellie replies. "Because they're either geeks,nerds,tramps,assholes..or people who've generally pissed off either me, or one of my friends. And now, they live here. For a while. The best thing is, since I can make exact duplicates of them, nobody notices they're missing. Which means my friends and I do whatever we want with them, without anybody asking questions." She pauses momentarily, to obverse your reaction. Then she turns to Satomi and says, "Remind me again. Did we say he was going to be tonite's dinner?".
"No," Satomi replies with the same evil grin as Ellie's. "We're eating that fat kid from two doors down, remember?. You said you were gonna shove an apple in his mouth, and roast him alive like the pig that he is."
Ellie nods, and smiles as she says, "Oh yeah. How could I forget that?. I can't wait to taste him.
"We'll need to fatten that one up before we eat him," Satomi says as she points at you. "He's way to skinny."
"That just means he'll be crunchy", Ellie says. She looks down at you and adds, "I like crunchy."
Had it been anyone else, you would've believed you were just being taunted. But Ellie has a pathalogical, bordering on psycopathic, hatred of anyone who pisses her off, or she simply considers to be uncool, which would be about two thirds of the entire town. Her temper is legendary. And she's capable of a level of violence that would make even the toughest of men cower in fear. Your mind wanders back to that summer's day last year, when she'd put Aaron Fleming, the captain of the football team, in hospital with concussion and a fractured skull. Aaron had stupidly claimed to have had a threesome with Ellie and Satomi. When she found out, Ellie went to war. She'd caught up with him at lunch. The first thing anyone knew about it, was when Ellie let the most bloodcurdling scream a human was capable of, and then she sprinted toward Aaron, launching herself at him as he stood up and turned to face her. The force of her body smacking into his like a renegade missile, caused Aaron to fall back onto the table, with Ellie sitting on his chest and pinning his arms to his sides with her legs. Unable to defend himself, Ellie had grabbed his hair in both hands and proceeded to bang the back of his head against the table. One of Aaron's friends had tried to intervene, and very nearly lost two of his fingers when Ellie savagely bit into his hand, and held onto it as long as she could. It was about four minutes before anyone else came to Aaron's aid. It took three male teachers to drag her off him, and none of them escaped uninjured. By that time, Aaron was unconscious. By a miracle, a scan later showed that he'd suffered no brain damage at all. Thanks to her parents wealth, both boys families were given large sums of money, and no charges were ever brought against her. And because her dad was one of the school's governers, she escaped with just a two week suspension. You shudder at the thought of it, because it just to remind you that you're in the clutches of someone who is more merciless than Genghis Kahn and the mongol horde.
"So, what did we say we were gonna do with this prick?", she asks. Satomi leans in close to Ellie and whispers something in her ear as she stares down at you.
"Ah, thaaat's right", Ellie says with an evil smile She then leans down and opens her mouth as if to speak. She then closes her mouth for a second and then says, "y'know what?. I'm not gonna tell you what your fate will be. It's gonna be a surprise. I want to see the look on your face when you find out. What I will say though, is that, your hell, will be our heaven."
With that she chuckles as she turns and walks toward the cages on the back wall of the basement. "Where's porky?", she asks as she crosses the floor. "Heeerre piggy piggy." You watch as she stops and kneels down. "Here's my little hog boy", she says as she opens the bottom cage and reaches in.
"OOh, you've got fire in your fat belly piggy", she say as a brief struggle ensues. "In a few hours, that fire will be in several beautiful young women's bellies." She and Satomi both laugh loudly. The thought of that poors guys fate leaves you with a strong sense of pity, nausea, and disgust. Especially at the way Ellie's taunting him. She stands up and turns around. You can see someone clutched in her right hand. As she walks back from the back wall, you can see that it's a guy of about sixteen. You don't know his name, but you've seen him wandering around school from time to time. He's actually bigger than you are, about ten inches in height. And, as the cruel taunts suggest, has something of large build. He's struggling furiously, but Ellie's grip is too strong for him. "Oh c'mon", she says to him. "It won't be that bad. Anyway, what's wrong with being eaten by a bunch of babes?. Some guys would pay for this..you're getting it for free. As she passes your cage, Ellie turns her head to look at you. She then winks at you and says, "see ya later honey", before blowing you a kiss. You somehow resist the urge to start screaming insults at her. You watch, as the two girls, and their victim, ascend the stairs. You don't know whether they've forgotten, but they leave the light as the basement door slams shut.
