                      My eyes fluttered open to the sound of smacking and yelling.  I quickly stood up and quietly walked over to see what the h3ll was going on.  I thought about what happened last night.  "Oh ya I remember, we are going to live in this dump for the rest of my life," I said to myself with enthusiasm.  I need to get out of here.  From what happened last night, I don't want to live here.  She said in her rules not to run away.  Where would I go anyways?  Home?  Restaurant?  Store?  Those places are miles from here.  What would I do when I get there?  Call the police?  When we try to escape, which way do we go?  The car she drives is pretty fast.  I got my license just a few months ago.  What do you think she would do if we got caught.  I don't know which direction to go.  Damn it...   I shouldn't have gone to sleep.  I went down stairs what is going on.  I surprised to see there is actually another girl here.  I wonder how long she was here.  It looks like she has been here for a while.  Her hair was dirty, gray skin, dirty clothes.  She looked like she was twelve.  Stacey was hitting the poor girl.  Stacey stopped what she was doing when she saw me.  She left the poor girl sobbing in the middle of the floor, when the girl saw me to she quickly stopped sobbing and her she started singleling me to get out of here when stacey had her back to the little girl.  Of course I just ignored her because what was I going to do, just run randomly away like a coward.  She took my face and said, "look who's up Niomi," she turned to the girl and the girl stopped what she was doing, "You!" she yelled at me, "do you wonder why she is getting beatin'?  Of course! She broke my rules!"  

Oh my gosh this lady is crazy!!  I shook my face out of her grip, she looked surprised and said," seems to me that you're not a morning person.  Don't worry... I'll be out of your way in a bit.  I'm heading out...I need to take care of a few things."  She left the room and went up stairs.  I thought to myself aren't you happy?  yes, of course, a good beating always lightens your mood?  I was still standing at the door way motionless stuck in my thoughts when someone inturupted it.  The little girl went up to me and asked, "Why didn't you go?"

I responded saying, "what do you expect me to do?  run like h3ll?"

"Maybe?" she mumbled.    

"What? why?"

"Most of them have."

"Wait, there is more kids?"

"Was."

"Was?!?"

"You're not the first, I was...  There was many kids here but not all at once though, just a few at a time."

"What happened to them?"

"They all died."

"How?  No offence but why or how are you still alive?"  All these questions were filling up my brain! 

"All these kids were a lot like you.  I saw you last night.  Sometimes  she gets so mad that she kills them on there first night because she doesn't want to deal with them.  She was in a good mood that night...The reason why I'm still alive is because I'm the good one, I deal with her crap, I listen to her rules, I'm too scared to die.  I'm too young!  She is cold blooded! I swear!  I've seen her kill most of the kids, she is cruel.  She likes make them suffer to death."

"We need to get out of here now!! I'm going to get my little sister!"

"NO!!!  We can't leave!!!"  Then I felt some one breathing on my neck. Stacey!!
