Escape

The Next Day

I'm laying on the floor. Freezing cold, pants and underwear around my ankles. I've been like this for god knows how long. I just wanna go home. I wanna go home. I wanna go home. And someone opens the door. And comes down stairs.
"I hope you learned your lesson." It was Mr. Jamison. He unlocked the cuffs, took the gag out and untied my wrist. I immediately pulled up my pants and ran like hell.
"Hope to see you again, lovely." Says Him.
Fuck that. I'm never going down there. As soon as I find my phone, I'm calling CPS and the police. Fuck this.

I'm in my room laying down. I just took a shower and I put on fresh pajamas. I'm in my bed crying and shaking. Whose idea was it to put an evil man in the basement to punish kids? Whose? Someone opens my door, it's Cynthia and Elis.
"Oh thank god." Says Cynthia as she runs to me. She starts crying.
"My god, are you okay?" She says. I jump up immediately and almost start screaming but I maintain a calm, shaky voice.
"Did you know? Did you guys know? Why couldn't you tell me? Why? I was down there and I swear to god, I almost was fucking killed."
"I'm sorry. I am. I wanted to tell you but if I did then I would've been sent down there too and even worse. I just, I'm sorry." She's bawling her eyes out and I'm just standing there. I don't even know if I'm real anymore. I don't know what's real anymore.
"What's important is we stay our asses the fuck out of there. I mean it no trouble." Elis says with a stern voice and I couldn't agree more.
"Who is he?"
"We don't know what he looks like. We know nothing about him. We just know to stay away." Says Cynthia.
"Why haven't you guys tried to escape?"
"Because then we'll be sent down there for god knows how long."
"Fuck.."
I'm at a loss. I don't know what to do. I don't wanna sleep under the same roof as that thing.
