You're Family Now

Where am I?

I wake up on a hard cement floor that is so cold it gives me goose flesh. How did I get here? And where the fuck is here? Okay just calm down. What is the last thing I remember? I remember hanging out wit Dean and Megan, we were drinking at Meg's. I remember leaving around 3am and heading back to my apartment alone and thinking about how tired I was. After that everything is kind of fuzzy, literally. I can remember blurs and fuzzy movements. I can hear a voice, a man's voice telling me to shut up and to stop moving as he shoves me into the trunk of a car. I can't believe this. My legs and body are sore from kicking the trunk.

The room is small, almost like a prison cell except there is no cot or toilet. Completely empty. The walls are grey and cement like the floor, I know its summer but its freezing. The door on the other side of the room is metal with a glass handle and what looks like a mail slot only bigger. Also there is a small peeking hole with bars on it at eye level. There are square cut outs on either side of the walls next to me, each with a set of bars. I wonder if I can break a few bars and crawl out of here, I'm certainly thin enough. I may be tall but I am slender.

I hear footsteps from the other side of the metal door. They are like thunder echoing down. They come closer and closer to my cell and I panic. What should I do? I think about my options. I could act like I am still sleeping, stay where I am or get ready to attack when the door opens. I'm not sure if I should say anything or demand to be let go. I have to decide fast or I won't have a choice at all. I lay down in the same position I was in before and close my eyes. I try to steady my breathing and calm my shaking body. I hear the click of a lock and the turn of a handle. I lay completely still with only the rise and fall of my chest confirming that I am still alive. Footsteps approach me and my mind is racing with thoughts about how I can escape if I hit him or do something to get away in this moment. He stops in front of me and crouches near my body. I feel his hand brush up against my neck and jaw line, almost a caress. "Hmmp, you are a pretty one aren't you?", he says to me. A girl's voice speaks to him from the doorway, "Don't you touch that girl Ricky. I'll tell Pa and you know the consequence for disobeyin'". Thank you whoever you are. "I'm just lookin' at her Beth! Now leave me the Sam Hell alone now will ya?! I'll beat ya bloody if ya say another fuckin' word to me 'bout Pa or what I can and can't do." Please no, don't hurt her. Please don't leave Beth, help me out of this dungeon and let me go home. He drops his hand from my cheek and stands up. He walks away with a huff. I hear another set of footsteps coming toward me, lighter than Ricky's though. Beth's? "Wake up Honey, Papa wants to see ya and we gotta get ya all cleaned up before ya meet the family", Beth says sweetly. I'm not sure what to do. should I wait for her to touch me and then 'wake up' or open my eyes now? Beth makes the decision for me and gently shakes me. I open my eyes to see a girl my age with blond hair and blue/gray eyes. I don't know why but she looks kind of familiar, like from a dream or something. I don't know why, I don't know anyone who would kidnap another person or even help kidnap someone. She is beautiful but looks like she needs to eat more. "There ya go, just stand on up now I've got ya", Beth instructs me. I don't speak but do as she tells me. Who is she I wonder? Why is she helping kidnap someone? I don't fight her as she guides me out of the room.
