Belle’s POV
The rest of the day is silent. The only person who dares to speak is the same person to yell at us about our carelessness. I would share the details, but truthfully I wasn’t paying any attention. I couldn’t get that image out of my head…
~~~
You know at first I thought this place wasn’t so bad.
Now I’m thinking differently.
This whole time I’ve been looking on the ‘bright side’. I mean they gave me food and water. It couldn’t be so bad. I’ve been viewing this place as a temporary holding chamber until a miracle would happen. When was I going to get the big picture? This is it. I am probably never getting out. There’s no escaping it. I’m going to end up like that little girl.
~~~
That night I couldn’t fall asleep, I just couldn’t. That whole night I had to endure vivid flashbacks of what happened earlier that day. The most re-occurring vision is of the girl’s hand being hacked off.
I can’t believe he just took her hand off like that. It must have hurt so much. He didn’t even take her to the hospital. Well he didn’t have to…she died.
What if something like that happens to me? What if I die like that? They can’t really expect us to keep working! This place is too awful. I wish I could leave. Stupid chain! Stupid locked door! Why can’t they do their own work! It should be them! Not us! We shouldn’t be here.
I wonder how they all got here...Are they orphans? Did they get…sold? What’s their story? Is it sad like mine? That’s impossible, I don’t think it could be any worse than mine. Could it? I used to think that my life was the worst. But now I’m not so sure.
I’m probably never getting out of here.
I’ll never see my granny again.
Why do I even try to…to be happy and stuff. It''s no point.
There's no point in anything anymore...
These last set of words mark the end of my hope and the start of a new era in my life, an era that’s much like the title of this story-lost.
