I faintly hear a phone ringing, I start to open my eyes and I look down at my arms. There's words in sharpie on my arm. " Be ready for blood, and pain" I start to look up and I see her by the door. This place I'm in it's dark and there is only light from the small farm light above hanging from the ceiling. I'm in a metal place and their is blood all around on the floor, and on the metal walls. This clues me in that she's done this before to somebody else. She starts to walk over to me and she bends down.
" Good morning darlin." she says while she gently pushes my hair behind my ear. My body tensed up and her hand were cold to the touch. I tried to lean back and get away but I was in the corner.
" What do you wanna do today? Anything in particular. You can talk now." I looked at her to see if she was actually serious and she looked like she was.
" I want an actual bed, can we go shopping for one?" I hoped she would say yes I could tell somebody what she is doing to me.
"I'll go but you can't! Sorry but I can't let anybody know what is going on here. What's your favorite color so I can get you a bed spread."
" Teal and yellow. Please." I looked at her and she looked serious.
" Yes, now I'm gonna go,but you can't leave this room because I have locks on it. Oh by the way did you enjoy your wake up call." She then had a sweet smile on her face and walked out of the room and I heard her lock the locks. I thought to myself maybe things might start to get better than they were yesterday. Just maybe, I hope they do.
