   Next thing I know,  I am sitting in a chair.  My jaw aches,  I can feel how wet my eyes are.  I try to open them,  I struggle a bit,  but I eventually get them open.  I see, nothing.  Am I blind?
  I find my arms are tied behind me,  but my legs are untied. And I also notice that my pants are wet. Huh.  I must've trickled a little bit,  after all I haven't been to a bathroom in God knows how long.  The thought is kind of disturbing and disgusting at the same time.
   "Hello?  Is anyone here?"I shout.  My voice is sore and raspy.  It hurts to talk. 
   The darkness becomes brighter,  but I still cannot see.  My long eyelashes rub against whatever is in my eyes.  It doesn't feel sticky,  so it's not duck tape.  It must be fabric or something. 
  I hear loud footsteps,  and getting louder.  I feel big hands clamping my neck.  I groan,  my bandana kind of falls down my face.  But I still can only see half of what I normally do,  the bandanna is covering half my eye.  I look sound to see the face.  I finally spot him! 
   He is wearing a white mask and a grey hoodie that says Yankees on it.  Matthew likes the Yankees,  he's from New York,  I have even seen him wear the hoodie before.  So it must be him.
  "You're finally awake!"  Matthew says in a deep raspy voice.  "I didn't want you awake!  I never told you to wake up!  Shut up!" He started squeezing my neck even harder. "Now Karis,  if you want to live,  you do what I say.  Got it?"  He finally lets go of my neck.  I gasp for air.  He then grabs a pair of scissors and walks behind me. "Now Karis,  let's try this again."  There's a long pause.  "OKAY?" He shouts.
  "Y-yes." I stutter,"yes w-we should s-s-ir". I gulp . 
  "Good.  Now Karis,  will you let me cut your hair?"
  I don't k ow what to say.  I just sit there.
  "WILL YOU?" He shouts.  I jump a little.
  "Y-yes,  yes sir.  Yo-you can cut my hair." I reply.
  "Okay,  how do you want it styled?"
   "I-I don't know.  How ever you wa-want it s-sir.  It is yer-your choice s-sir."
  "Good.  Good.  You are getting the hang of this."  He then pulls back my head and puts the scissors and close to my head as possible and snips.
