I yell and shout and scream. Nothing but trees, I am finally free and there is nothing but a broken forest! I run out of the door to see if I can find anything else, but nothing but a lost barren, painful world.
A hand clamps behind me and I screech. I get pulled back, I'm pulling forward but he force pulling back is to strong. "I know it's you Matthew. You're afraid of me, you know I am strong and that I don't give up. You don't like that." I say with a strong yet struggling voice.
"You think you are smart. I am smarter now shut up you little brat, before I cut off your head." He says. I freeze.  I try to scary strong,  but he makes it too hard.
  "I was never a Christian you know,  a follower of God.  But I think noes a good time to start."
  "Just shut up.  I don't care about your sob story."
  "I think you do."  Dear lord God,  whoever you are.  I just need help right now.  I know I didn't grow up with you or anything and I know I don't deserve it.  But please,  I will serve you for the rest of my life. 
  Matthew is probably making a weird face right now. I feel something,  some kind of strength.  I kick him facing backwards and I feel his hand loosen its grip on my shoulder. I smell food.  I run through a door I never saw before,  and there sitting on the table is a bag of food.  McDonalds untouched.  I lock the door behind me and look for others ways he could get in.  I shove the food in my mouth and drink the whole soda in one gulp.  I've never been this hungry.  I hear a loud bang on the door.  I jump,  was not expecting that, I admit.
  "OPEN THE DOOR KARIS!"  That's the first time he actually said my name.  Why?
"No!" I shout back.
   "Please?"  I can tell,  by the way he said it,  it was really hard for him to say that.
  "No.  Let me go and maybe."
  "I'm not doing that."
   "Then I guess your not getting in.  Ever!"  There is such a big grin on my face right now.  I can hear him groaning.  Thank you God,  father,  whoever is listening,  thank you,  for everything that you've done.  I will serve you forever until I die!  Thank you!  I have the biggest smile a human could ever have.  I am so happy,  a kind of joy I never thought I'd have. 
   I look around me,  there's a radio and a bible.  I have a tugging to turn on the radio.  So I walk over to it and turned it on,  immediately music started playing,  I listened to the words carefully.  King of my so-u-oul, oh oh Ooh oh oh.  King of my soul.  Is this what Christian music sounds like? King of my heart,  kind of my soul,  you are the one that I live for,  no other name no other throne,  it's you alone God!  So let my life be undivided GOD!  King of my so-u-oul,  oh oh Ooh oh oh,  oh ooh woah. King of my soul.
  I listen to other songs that night,  but those lyrics stick in my head.  I sing it over and over again.  About a few hours later the song comes back on and I sing the whole song like I've heard it a thousand times before.  This is officially my new favorite song.
  I pull out the bible, I open it up and feel the words in my finger tips.  I feels weird,  but in a good way.  I feel as if 1,000 pounds was just lifted off my shoulders.  I red a few words: in the beginning.... I look farther into the book.  There was this one verse I skipped over,  but caught my eye.  It had to do with a woman,  she put two coins into the offering for the temple,  decouples were putting bags and bags of money into the offering.  The disciples asked Jesus who was giving more,  them or the women?  Jesus answered saying the women have more,  she only had the two cents,  she gave her all to me.  You have more then what you put into the offering,  you did not give your all,  but this woman did.
