I scream at him as load as I could, I know and realize I look like a mad woman but I could care less. He had no right no right what so every. He has taken everything away from me. My children, my husband and time.

"Valentine" he screamed back at me "That is more than enough"

"Strix will come for me" I tell him once again

He grabs my arm tried I think of my screaming and drags me off down the hallway. Me screaming the whole way. The servants have came out of their rooms to look on at us is how bad it had gotten. At the end of the long hallway where a self portrait of Victor hung he stops. Moving the portrait to one side it opens into another hallway. This hallway was darker then the other.

"Where are you taking me" I ask

"I told you if you couldn't behave i would cage you"

"No please don't"

"Too late for that precious"

This hallway kept getting darker and darker the father we went back we come to another wall and it too opens up behind it is a huge room with what looks like Mid Evil torture gadgets in it. There are three huge human sized cages each made different. One was solid black metal bars, one had silver bars, and the last looked as if it was made out of pure gold. He drags me toward the black one opening it up with a remote before he even got there.

"Please" I try once again "Don't"

Without saying another word he throws me into the cage then locks the door behind me. I run to the bars to try to get to it before they closed but like in the room I am too slow. Trapped like an animal in a cage. Its too dark down here and I can't see anything but the small confinement that holds me.

"You will do good to remember this Valentine" Victor tells me

"Please don't leave me down here" I beg of him

"You leave me no choice Valentine"

"Strix will come for you, and he will kill you this time" I tell him

"Goodnight Valentine" he starts up leaving me alone

In the damp, dark cage, I sink to the cold hard floor as more tears come to my eyes. I should have just kept my mouth shut, and let him think I was a good girl. I could have pretended that I didn't remember a think and went a long with whatever he had said. He wanted me to forget but I will not, no matter what I will not forget what he had put my family through.

As I sit there damp from the tears I shead I lifted my head toward the heavens.

"God, I know I haven't always been fateful. And I know that I have alot of sin on me but if you could please help just this once I would be truly grateful" I pray "in Jesus name Aman"

It had been a long time since I had prayed. Been a long time since I stepped foot into a church. My mother was always trying to get me to go and she told me once God hears our prayers no matter where we are.

After I felt claimed, as I whipped the tears from my eyes. Some how I knew that I was going be freed.

The ground was wet and there was a smell that I couldn't decide where it went to. I waited for the door above to open back up. It had this awful squeaking sound that I noticed when we entered.

I would pray then pass the length of my confinement. The roting stench of mold and something else was beginning to get unbearable. It almost smelt like decaying flesh.

My eyes had adjusted to darkness but I still couldn't see but only a distance in front of me. The water in the floor was a rustic color with big black oily spots running like vains through it.
