My eyes flutter open. Nothing. I cant see anything. Everything around me is a deep black. I blink slowly. My eyelids heavy I fight to keep my eyes open. But it was no use I quickly fall back into a dark haze.
My eyes wouldnt open. I paniced trying as hard as I possibly could to open my eyes. It was so dark and so cold. Im so.. sleepy I should just go...back to...sleep
Finally I open my eyes without a problem. I feel cold stone concrete under my entire body. I try to move. But I cant. I pull my arms but they are tied to a pole above my head. My feet are tied to the wall on the other end of the room. I want to cry out, Scream for help, anything. I just want to be home. Safe. I cant make noise. I cant even open my mouth. Ducttape covers my lips all the way to my ears. I look around the room. It is small with one door in the corner it had no door handle just a small cracked hole in the top. The size of a quarter. The door was made of cheap plywood sloppily nailed to its hinges just like the the rest of the walls. There was one small window covered mostly in duct tape shattered pieces of glass still stuck to pieces of the tape that werent dry rotted and falling apart. This window was far to small to escape from just small enough to let air in. I pull harshly at my restraints and buck my hips wildly anything to free me. Let me loose. I am so cold all I want to do is curl up in a ball and get warm. My wrists and ankles begin to burn and bleed from the friction of the chains against my bare skin. This feels like a movie. Like it couldnt really happen to me. I squealed all I could under the ducttape. Heat from my breath slowly began to loosen the glie around my lips slowly the tape came loose and I began to scream for help. Anyone. I just want to go home. No sooner than I realeased my 3rd scream an angry Xavier burst through the door. "Hello Shay." He said smirking. I want to kill him. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed muffled by the remaining tape. "Calm down." Xavier said closing the door and walking over to my side. "Or I will have to hurt you." he said cupping my face in his rough hand. "Be a good girl. Will you scream if I take the tape off?" he asked gazing at me with liercing blue eyes. I shook my head no softly not breaking his gaze. He slowly pulled the tape off. I squinted my eyes and scrunched my face feeling as if he had just ripped half of it off. "Why?" was the only word I could muster without crying. "Your mom is loaded." Xavier said smiling as if it were some sort of joke. "YOUR SICK!" I screamed "JUST LET ME GO HOME!" Xavier look at me his whole face changed. "I gave you your chance. And you just ruined it." Xavier said pulling out the ducttape again placing it over my mouth twice this time. Tears began to flow down my face. I looked in his eyes and muffled a scream under the ducttape. A quick stabbing pain shot to my stomach "Shut up!" Xavier said kicking me in the stomach again and again until I was silent. Then he left.
