I opened my eyes to a hay bed and a bucket of water with a soapy sponge in it.

"Uhhhg... Wha.." Then all I saw was black.. I could have sworn I heard a male's voice ask if I was awake.

"Huh?" I shot up and got sick to my stomach and vision blurry, two steady hands held me in place.

"Whoa easy there, be careful." 

"Wha..we..I?" My vision got better and I made out a concerned face of a boy.

"Where are you? You are in my barn." I started to panic and tried to back away but he held my there. "My name is Hunter Foxx, you are safe I promise."

"You promise?" He nodded.

"Yes, I brought some water for you to wash up while I go into town, now you don't have to stay here after you are done but I figured you would like some clothes?"

"What?" I looked down at myself and instantly covered my body with my arms. "Oh my god, did you?"

"No, when I found you in the field over there you were naked." He shook his head, "Who did this too you?"

I frowned and tried to remember but all I could remember was my name. "I don't know all I do know is that my name is Riley... Riley Nichole Black."

"Riley Nichole Black?"  I nodded and looked away from him.

"We have to notify the Police, I can't believe I found you." 

"Huh?" I was confused, "Found me?"

"Yes you went missing a month ago and there are many people concerned." 

"Oh."

"Now clean up while I get you some clothes from town." He stood up and smile before walking out the barn door. I looked around from where I was sitting, not much interesting too look at besides a Blue Heeler watching me. I called the dog but it stayed there watching.


"Weird." I turned to the bucket of water and reached for the sponge and heard a thud and slight walking. I quickly turned to the noise and to my surprise was the dog walking over to sit next to the hay bed.  I sighed in relief and washed my self up, I didn't want to just sit there so I decided to walk around hoping he would be back soon.


There was a whistle and a named called, "Beth!" I jumped at the sudden noise and hid behind some hay piles. I heard hard steps and couldn't tell if they were his and was scared. "Hello? Riley?"

I sighed, "I'm here." I walked out from behind the hay pile and to my surprise was both Hunter and another man. "Oof." I ran back behind the hay pile.

"It's okay this is sheriff Matt." I heard walking but I stayed still. "Here you go Riley." He turned around to where I was and handed me the clothes, It was a plaid button up shirt, light blue boxers and blue jeans. I slipped right into them but the shirt was a little big but it was fine it was comfy. 

"Now if you are ready I would like to speak with you miss Black." What I assumed was Mr. Sherriff's strong voice.
