Be Careful What You Wish For

**CHAPTER TWØ**

     He comes back. He sees her Laying on the floor, still sleeping with her hands tied together and her mouth taped shut. He comes in shouting and stomping his feet. She wakes up and sees him standing over her. He rips the tape off of her mouth just to torture her. She regrets everything she has ever done in the last two days. The man standing over her now unties her wrists almost tearing the skin with the pocket knife.
     "Why are you doing this to me!?"
     "Did I give you permission to talk?!" He screams at her.
     He brings out a belt and starts smacking her with it. She starts to cry and he kicks her in the face and in her ribs, so hard she slides into the corner. She smacks her head into the trim on the bottom of the wall and she looks to where she hit it and sees her own blood. He kicks her several more times and he knows he doesn't have to tie her hands to escape. He goes into the kitchen and he hadn't fed her at all so the last time she ate was yesterday, and she was starved. He brings out chicken and eats it right in front of her and she knows not to ask for any. He leaves somewhere she isn't sure of. She doesn't know how long he will be, but she knows it's her time to try and get out of here or do something. He locks the door behind him and takes the key with him. When she can't hear his car anymore and he's far away, she gets up grabs some food from the kitchen and thinks of somewhere to hide in his house, somewhere he won't ever find her. She gets up and walks from room to room, she can't escape in any room because the windows are all locked from the outside. She walks, no runs to the basement, and looks around. First trying to find a key or anything that can help her leave. She hides all the way in the back of the crawl space, but she knew she would be there awhile. As an idea she runs upstairs knowing she has limited time, grabs two gallons of water, and foods like, crackers, dry cereal, and granola bars basically anything that won't go bad in the amount of time she will be there. She goes back into hiding and leaves all of her lights off and she is looking through his storage she finds three blankets, a flash light that still works, and two pillows to use. She is grateful for all of the things she found to help her survive for some amount of time. She leaves all of the lights off and everything the same and hides all the way in the back where she isn't visible. The sad part she realized though, is that sometime most likely soon, he will come looking for her she knows that he will. She hopes he doesn't look well enough to find her, she looks at her ribs and can obviously tell they are damaged, and feels the scratch on her head where he slid her up against the wall, it's all dry blood and can tell it needs to be cleaned. He comes back as she hears the door slam shut.....
