*Raven's P.O.V.*

I lay in my hospital bed, sleeping until I heard the door open. I cracked my eyes open and saw none other than 5 guys. Dressed in black. Smiles on their faces walking in. They slowly moved up to me and I smiled a weak smile.

"Hey kiddo, how are you?" Ashley asked.

"Ok." I said, my voice hoarse and quiet.

"You happy to be out of that place?" CC asked. I glared at him.

"No, I want to be back in the freezing basement chained to a wall." I said. He laughed.

"Sorry, kind of a stupid question." He said. I smiled and laughed. Even that was off.

"So, how are you?" Jinxx asked.

"Didn't Ashley ask that already?" I said. He smiled and nodded.

"Better now that I'm out of there..." I said. Just then a nurse walked in with 2 detectives behind her.

"Well Miss Hope. There's good news and bad news." She said. I looked at her.

"Would you like me to state the news in front of the gentleman?" She asked.

"Sure." I said, a little scared.

"Ok...Well, bad news is in that time, you lost 25 pounds, now weighing around 70 pounds, and you have developed a curable disease, but you have some memory loss." She said. I nodded, taking it all in, then she began with the good news.

"On the bright side though, you are out of that place and with in a week's time, you'll begin seeing improvement in your appetite, metabolism and probably start gaining more weight. But also, until then, you might need help with daily things such as showering, getting dressed and going up and down stairs." I nodded, my face flushing. I knew I'd probably be going back with BVB so that could be awkward.

"Now, these are detectives Taylor and Kingston. They are here to ask you a few questions on what happened, how much you remember, if you know who did this, stuff like that. Is that ok, or another time?" She asked.

"It's fine now." I said. She nodded, then left as the 2 detectives pulled up chairs and sat down.

"Ok Miss Hope. I'm Detective Kingston and this is my partner Detective Taylor." He said, motioning to the woman next to him. I nodded.

"Ok, so...If you don't mind answering while these 5 men are here, what happened on the night you left, why did you leave and once you got there, what happened?" Asked Detective Taylor.

"Well, I left because I got in an argument with Andy. Then I was walking along the street and a guy tapped me on the shoulder and he was wearing all black and the only thing I could see of his face was his smile, then I started running and another guy, larger, built stepped out of the alley and he had tattoo sleeves and was bald and he had a gold tooth right here." I said, motioning to my upper left canine tooth. I paused a moment so Kingston could write the details down.

"Ok, continue." She said.

"Umm, then the smaller one hit me in the head and knocked me down, then put something that smelled fowl over my mouth and I started getting tired, then I was thrown into the back of a white van, no windows in the back, and a third one cuffed me to something and he had...Umm....Brown hair and tattoos on his knuckles but I don't know what it said...And he was wearing a gold ring...And he had a big nose....And brown eyes. And then I passed out." I said. Another pause, then I continued a moment later.

"And when you woke up?" Kingston said.

"Umm...I was in the basement, cuffed to a wall....And umm...My dad came downstairs...And said something, but I don't remember what, then left me with a strange man...And he....Uhm....." I paused, not wanting to say the next part, not wanting the guys to know. They knew though, they all did but yet I was still asked what happened.

"He umm...Forced me to have sex with him...Then over the next 4 days I think there were 3 or 4 more guys...Then the tv my dad left with me, he came down and unplugged it and then left and him and my mom never came back...Then over the next month, I had no food, nothing to drink and I was left, chained to a wall....People came and went, looking at the house from the outside, then leaving, or turning around in the driveway..." I paused again, taking in a shaky breath. My voice was stronger now, not a hoarse or quiet.

"Umm...Then the realtor and 2 people came and looked at the house and they asked to see the basement and that's when I was found." I said, finishing. They nodded, finishing writing the things down, then left, thanking me. It was silence in the room shortly after, for only a few moments, then I heard the door open. The realtor, and the 2 people walked in, looking at me. I smiled at them, thankful and forever in their debt seeing as they saved my life.

"Hi Miss Hope, how are you?" Asked the realtor.

"You can call me Raven, and I'm fine. I can never thank you enough for saving me from that basement." I said. They smiled.

"Well, we couldn't just leave you there." Said the other woman. "Oh, by the way, I'm Alexis, and this is Ben, my husband." She said. I smiled, shaking their hands as the realtor introduced herself to me.

"And I'm Vicky." She said. I shook her hand too.

After about 15 minutes, everyone was asked to leave so I could rest. But before hand, I was given food and water which I ate very quickly, and drank the whole bottle of water and the nurses were nice enough to give me more food and water which I also ate and drank quickly, then a female nurse, the one from before came into my room, shut the blinds and shut and locked the door. She helped me out of my bed and to the small bathroom where I took a very long shower, feeling amazing when I got out.

I was helped into a new hospital gown and then back to my bed where I laid down and everything was back to normal, peaceful, and the lights were shut off as I closed my eyes, sleeping, falling asleep with a smile on my face, and for once in a long time, not crying myself to sleep.
