I woke up to something soft under my head, covering my body along with the stinging pain down below. That's when I remembered what happened.

I sprung up and looked at my surroundings. I was in a dark room, it wasn't the light that's dark. The vibe was dark. Dark table. Dark bed. Dark wooden doors.

Arlen came in. "Morning." He said, but I didn't answer. I looked away and fell back on the bed, covering the blanket over my head. "I made breakfast."

Still I didn't answer. I heard him sighed and left the room with the door closed. That's when I peeked out the blanket and looked around. He wasn't there. A sigh of relief left my mouth.

I probably shouldn't eat the food, what if they put something in it. I've been living with them for quite some time now and I know just by looking at the clock and the way Arlen was dressed earlier, they were about to leave for work.

And it was the perfect chance to go home. Maybe even move out of the city. If I stay with them any longer I'll die.

I waited until 9 o' clock until they left, they alway leave at this time. I looked out the window and saw cars leaving. Here's my chance!

Bolting to the doors, I tried to open it but it was locked. They locked me inside!? Are they out of their mind?! Nevermind, maybe I can open the window. I walked toward it but it was bolted down.

I'm screwed now. But...I'm sure there's a guard standing next to the door on the outside. I'll lure him.

I began to slam on the door but no responses. "Open up! I know you're there!" I yelled out, still I wasn't really sure if there was even a guard. I looked around for any sharp object and happened to see a glass vase.

Smashing it on the ground, I pick up a big shard and place it next to my neck. "If you don't open the door I'll slice my own throat!" I threatened.

...

"Miss." I heard the man's voice, I knew someone was there. "Please give me a minute." Is he finally gonna open the door?! I heard murmurs and tried to lean against the door to hear it, didn't work.

"Sirs are coming back now." He said. Shoot, they're coming back now and they'll hit me again! What now? I guess it was just in the heat of the moment that I decided to hurt myself without thinking.

I looked around the room and saw several books. I tried to throw one at the window so it could break, but it didn't.

The bathroom door is locked so I can't go through there. Think Astra, think! How do I...I had an idea, but it was an inappropriate one. I've seen it happen in movies with bad guys and girls in bars.

Seduce them. Once they come in, I'll run towards them and kiss them. But it seems wrong! Whatever, I need to get out.

I heard loud stomps coming closer and closer, my heart pounded and pounded. The door swung open, "Astr—!"
