A/N: I'm sorry that it's been so long. I have just been really busy. But here's a new chapter!

I pull away from Hailey, smiling. I had been thinking that she had been a little bit weak. But not badly weak. She just needed so much more time to recover than me. But Grace just explained what Uncle Joey is doing to her, and it makes complete sense now. He took away her fight. She has always had such a fierce determination in her eyes. Such a strong will to fight for what is right. But as soon as he raped her, he took her fight away. And I guess I didn't realize that until now. I grab Hailey's hand and I start walking back towards the bedroom, tears starting to cloud my eyes. Suddenly I feel a stabbing pain in my stomach and I gasp, doubling over in pain. I feel a hand on my back and I instantly fall into it. I look up with tears in my eyes to see Grace looking at me with fear in her eyes. I look over at Hailey and she looks terrified, standing over me with tears rolling down her face. Grace gently picks me up and brings me to the bedroom. She lays me down on my bed and I suddenly feel bile rising up my throat. I smack my hand over my mouth, my eyes widening in alarm. Grace quickly runs over and grabs a trash can before I throw up. I look down and gasp in alarm. I see blood in the trash can. I instantly start crying, curling up into a ball on my bed. Grace gasps and goes to dump out the trash can. I feel someone put their arms around me and I can hear Hailey whispering things into my ear. I look up and see Grace walking back towards me. She sits on the edge of my bed, concern in her eyes. I gently uncurl myself and look up at her. She smiles down at me and starts pressing down on my stomach in different places. I groan, feeling sick again. She stands up, concern in her eyes.

"I am going to try and find a phone. Or I am going to escape here. You need a doctor. I think that you have some internal bleeding. I am going to escape, even if he sees it on the cameras. Don't worry, I will come back for you guys. Stay safe." I look up, fear in my eyes. I don't want her to leave. What if Uncle Joey comes back? Grace comes over and kisses both of us on the forehead before quickly running out of the door. I turn to Hailey, fear in my eyes. She looks scared too.

"Hay? What if Uncle Joey comes back? How are we supposed to hide from him? We can't get these chains off." Hailey looks down at the chains, a fierce determination starting to burn in her eyes.

"Nica. We can get out of these chains. I am going to find a way to get us out of these. So that we can escape too. Grace is doing the right thing leaving. But we already know that there are cameras outside. So Uncle Joey is going to know that Grace left, and he will head back here. And you can't be tortured anymore. You need to get out of here. So let's do this." I smile weakly, determination starting to course through me again. Hailey starts tugging at her chain, trying to find a way to get it off. I start tugging at mine as well, looking for a way to get it off. I see a kay hole and an idea pops into my head.

"Hay. There are scissors in Uncle Joey's study. I think that we can get there. And then we can start to pick the locks. We know how. Because of that one class that we took with dad. We can do this." Hailey nods, standing up. I start to stand up beside her but end up groaning in pain. Hailey quickly turns around, concern in her eyes.

"I can help you get over there. Let's go." She helps me up, looping her arms around my waist. I put my arm around her shoulder, putting some of my weight on her. We walk out of the room and we start heading down the hall. We turn the corner and enter a room. It happens to be right next to the kitchen, so we can get there. We walk into the room and I look at the desk. I can see the drawer to the desk, where the scissors are. We start to walk towards it and we are almost to the drawer when the chain stops us. I quickly stumble, almost falling to the ground. Hailey catches me,stopping us both from falling over. I look at her in fear, scared of not being able to get to the scissors before Uncle Joey gets back. She looks over at me, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She walks over and grabs an umbrella, leaving me struggling to stay standing. She grabs it and walks back. She holds the tip of the umbrella and reaches it over to the drawer handle. She hooks onto it and pulls the drawer open. Inside are a pair of scissors. I look over at her, amazement in my eyes. She hooks the handle of the umbrella onto the scissors and slowly drags it to the edge of the drawer. She then flips them to the side and she hooks onto them. She lifts the scissors up, bringing them towards us. She finally grabs the scissors and looks over at me triumphantly. I lunge into her arms, starting to cry in happiness. She gently leans back from me, happiness also in her eyes.

"I know that you are happy Nica. But it's not over yet. We still have to get free. Let's start unlocking ourselves." She helps me down to the floor and she sits beside me, grabbing my ankle. She sticks the scissors into the lock, starting to unlock it. After a couple of seconds I hear a click and the anklet falls off. I quickly grab the scissors from her and start unlocking her lock. I want to hurry but I force myself to take my time so that I don't mess up. After a couple of minutes her lock clicks and her anklet falls off. We throw the chains to the side, slowly standing up. Hailey helps steady me and then we start walking towards the door. I suddenly hear a door open and I turn to Hailey, fear in my eyes. I hear Uncle Joey whistling, walking towards us. Hailey and I quickly run over to the desk, ducking under it. We grip each other's arms, fear starting to course through me. I hear Uncle Joey walk into the room and look at the chain. He chuckles, walking towards his desk. I cover my mouth, afraid of him hearing me. He stops and I don't breathe, trying to be as quiet as possible. His face suddenly appears in front of us and I scream. He smiles, grabbing my arm and dragging me out from underneath the table. I try to fight him and Hailey is still holding onto my arm, screaming at Uncle Joey to let me go. He picks me up and I kick against him, trying to get him to let me go. He brings me towards the dungeon and he opens the door, throwing me in. I fall to the ground, crying out in pain. He grabs my hair and drags me over to one of the beds. He chains me to it, smiling.

"I'll be right back Kitty. Let's go and get your sister." I start fighting the chains, trying to get out of my restraints. He closes the door behind him and I stop fighting. I start crying, knowing that he is going to hurt us. I hear Hailey scream and I start screaming, begging him to stop whatever he is doing to her. The door flies open and Hailey is thrown in. She whimpers but instantly gets back up, running at him. He grabs her arm and starts dragging her towards the other bed. She continues screaming and fighting him, trying to get away. He quickly chains her to the bed and walks back, facing both of us.

"Girls. You have one chance to tell me the truth. Where did Grace go?" I keep quiet, not wanting to say anything. Hailey stays quiet as well, glaring at him. He sighs, an evil glint in his eyes.

"Well, if you won't tell me, then I will force you too." He walks towards the table and grabs a knife. He walks over to me and I start shaking, not knowing if I can take the pain. He walks over and lifts up my shirt. He instantly starts cutting into me and I start screaming, the knife burning. He holds me still, making it so that I can't move away from him. Hailey is screaming at him to stop, trying to take my place. He finishes cutting my stomach and leans in close to me.

"Tell me where Grace went. Or else this is only going to get worse." I shake my head defiantly, trying to find something inside of me to give me strength to save myself from him. He shakes his head, walking back towards the table. He grabs something else and walks back towards me, holding a taser. I gasp, a tear falling down my cheek. He smiles, walking over to me. He doesn't hesitate and instantly presses the tongs into my stomach. I scream, writhing around in pain. I can only feel the pain. I don't know how to fight this. It hurts so bad. He finally lifts up the taser and comes close to my ear again, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Where did Grace go?" I gag, unable to stop myself. I quickly turn my head and throw up, getting vomit all over him. He jumps back, disgust all over his face. I finish throwing up and I start gasping for air, my entire body starting to shut down. Uncle Joey comes over and unchains me, grabbing me by the hair and dragging me out of the room. Hailey is screaming at him, trying to get him to let me go.

"You are absolutely disgusting. You are going to clean yourself up. Then you are going to clean that up. That's disgusting. Don't do that again." He throws me into my room, slamming the door shut and locking it. I curl up into a ball, crying. Suddenly I hear Hailey starting to scream. I stand up, running over to the door and starting to pound on it, trying to get out and save Hailey.
