Runaway Love

Runaway Love: Intro

My heart was pounding rapidly against my chest at an impossible pace for any normal human being. Except I would never consider myself normal...

...I'm not some sort of freaky supernatural creature though, so I probably shouldn't make it appear that way. If I had to describe myself, I would say I'm the girl who hasn't spoken words to anyone in 4 years. I have the ability to talk, but there has been nothing that needed to be verbally spoken or anyone that I could speak to for so long. I'm the girl who has completely lost sight of the light, and I mean that both literally and figuratively. My spirit is persistently dragged and beaten down from spending years locked in a desolate shit-hole. And I'm the girl who was kidnapped on her fourteenth birthday, heartlessly ripped away from everyone I love the most without even getting to say goodbye.

But the million dollar question still remains...haven't the police found you yet, considering you're still alive and for the most part, physically well? I truly wish they had, but sadly, I came to the realization that they gave up looking about two years ago and dismissed my case, probably saying I was dead and that my body was going to turn up somewhere eventually. But that is, obviously, far from the truth. I'm still very much alive and praying for the day to come where I'm free and can finally show my face to the world again. 

However, as dark as it is to say, I'm sure my parents have moved on. I find it hard to believe that they have spent the last few years agonizing over my disappearance, considering they still had my fraternal twin sister, Pricilla, to care for. Deep down, I always knew Pricilla was the favorite child, despite the numerous arguments that they could never choose between the two of us. Pricilla was the definition of the golden-child, at least from what I remember. She always got the highest grades, was a complete kiss-ass to our parents in every aspect, and overall, was just the prettier sister. Part of me believes that she was discreetly happy when I was kidnapped, so she would no longer have to feel embarrassed that I was her twin. But that thought is just way too dark for me to comprehend. I have to remain positive and hope that she changed after four years. 

Anyways though, back to me running in another attempt to escape. I'm sprinting down the long, pitch black corridor, bumping blindly into the concrete corners. I reached my hands out in front of me, but was suddenly met with a bulky and solid chest. I screamed as a hand snaked around my waist, dragging my frail body back to the retched prison cell. Frantically, I tried to grip the walls and thrash around, but instead, my nails slid harshly against the rough surface, causing a yelp to escape my lips. 

My limp body was then thrown to the ground and I was locked up once again with no further retaliation. I stared up at my kidnapper from my position on the cold, concrete floor, as he lurked creepily outside the cell. A grim look appeared onto his face; the same look he always makes when he is scheming up a way to punish me for rebelling. I slid into the corner of the room out of sight and shut my eyes. 

I waited until I heard his footsteps leave the room, before I rolled over onto my back and began aimlessly staring at the ceiling in anguish. The pavement against my bare skin helped cool me down, as I listened intently to the sounds of a faucet dripping eerily nearby and the sounds of my raspy breathing. One thought just kept racing through my mind; I can't live like this anymore.

I began to formulate a new plan in my head. At night, if I managed to hit the deactivate button across from my cell with a stone, the camera aimed at me wouldn't get me on tape, my cell door would unlock, and I could run out before my kidnapper could catch up to me.

I picked up the stone I had previously been using to mark my escape attempts. I tossed it up in the air, a small smile appearing on my face. 

This was my time to escape...tonight for sure.
