I woke up in a dark room. My head was throbbing violently. Damn, it feels like I've been hit by the gautrain. I look around, trying to examine my new environment. It's dark and I can't really see anything . The perimeter of the room is about two by two metres. Just long enough for me to lie down with 25cm left of free space, I began breathing heavily. Why? Why? Why? Of all the people in the world why me? It felt like the walls were closing in on me. I get nervous around small spaces. I feel trapped, like there's no escape.

I began feeling my way around the room until I finally found the light switch and turned it on. The room was immediately illuminated by a dull red light. The choice of lighting added to the creepy factor of the room. Oh my gosh. Every inch of this room is covered with photos of me. This was beyond scary. I sat on the floor and pulled my knees to my chest as I begin talking to myself, Trying to keep myself as calm as possible.

"It's alright Rena, you'll be fine"
"No you wont"
"You will, you're strong and creative, you'll find a way out"

This wasn't helping. Im just putting myself in an even worse mood. A few hours went by and my mind began to wander. My mind began playing tricks on me. I swear I see Hunter in front of me. He's looking at me. He has this air around him, he seems like he's disgusted, like I'm a worthless tool. He stays silent for a while longer before he begins to speak.

"How could you?"
"What did I do Hunter?"
"You know what you did, you filthy whore. I was meant to be your first. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

His words cut me like a venom poisoned knife. "I'm sorry." I cried," I'm so so sorry." Tears began running down my eyes, making my vision clouded. Hunter stuck out his hand but as I tried to grasp it he disappeared, fading into nothingness. Another hour went by and my stomach began growling. Was I gonna die of starvation? How long till the man returned? My thoughts were going out of control. What would he do to me when he returned? I don't want to be kept alive just to be used as a sex toy! I don't wanna be some man's tool.

I immediately thought of all the times I heard dad force himself onto mum. I heard it all, everything from when he slammed her against the wall to the beatings he gave her. I remember the brave face she would put on when she came saw me but she couldn't hide what she felt. I could see the fear in her eyes. I could see the way she instantly tensed up when dad walked in. I could see her disgust, her fear and her sadness slowly consuming her. Was that what was in store for me? I began breathing heavily once again. I began to tremble and let out a cold laugh. I'm fucked...

Someone will find me. Claire might find me, she knows about the camera, she might realise I'm missing and check the footage. She might tell Hunter. He will find me. I'm sure of it. I still had a glimmer of hope. My ears pricked up as I heard the footsteps in the distance. Oh god, here he Co es. My phone began vibrating. I didn't realise it was still in my pocket. I opened the message as quickly as I could. He wanted to come over. I was about to go into another sobbing fit but then I heard the footsteps again. I heard the doorknob begin to turn. Crap, he's already here. I see the my reply as quickly as I could "Help." The message sent just as the man opened the door.
God please help me.
