you and i

parents - chapter 3

Her POV

It was finally light again; I was out of the unknown dark, but I was back in an unknown place. It was bare except from the chains hanging off the- OH MY GOD CHAINS! I was in a torture chamber, of course I was.

My mother and father probably messed up with one of their deals again, and I was the unfortunate victim of this so-called deal. It's happened before; my parents messed up and I had to find my own way out. To them I am just their property, something to bet on or something to give away. You could swear I was on object in the corner. But if I was to ever voice this to them, I would be shut down.

'Adora, you are being dramatic, we have never done that' my mother would say in the most condescending voice.

'Shut up girl, you do mean nothing to us if you carry on like that. Now keep quiet and let the adults talk' and that would be my father. Straight to the point.

It's something that I always think about but never actually tell people. I mean why would they want to know anyway, it's not like I actually have friends. How can I, I have never been to school everything I ever learnt was from a book in my parents library, one of the only things in my house that I liked as well as my bedroom.

Books provided me with an escape from reality from my disastrous life. My personal favourites are romance books. The romance allows me to feel something I dream of having. Love. I don't get it from my parents. So, these books give me an outlet to feel it. To feel love. Sometimes the main character reminds me of myself and then I truly feel attached to the books. I live my life through them, the dream life I wish to have.

My parents were against me going to school and having an education. They wanted me to some brainless girl who would sit and look pretty. Like fuck would I do that. I am not going to sit around and be told what to do or be dragged into someone else's mess over and over again. No that's not me. So, what am I doing sat on the floor of this mucky floor doing nothing? I am getting out of here.

I look around the room again but this time I know what I am looking for, an escape route. There is a door, but it is steel and most definitely locked from the outside, so that is not my first option. Then I look up in the top left corner and God bless me there is a vent! Now that is an escape route I can get behind. However, this is one slight problem, I am tied up but with rope not with chains which does make this slightly easier.

Then I hear something that completely ruins my plan. The door unlocks.

 Had a little vent in this chapter, it's not very hard to guess where :/
