The Day I Died

Who She Had To Kill

The lady came back and said, " So, have you thought about it, Cara? Killing someone? Is it worth it?" Cara quickly nodded. The woman smiled so big, that Cara didn't think it was humanly possible for someone to smile that wide. Cara's hair was frizzled from the night before. She had stayed there for awhile. She couldn't tell exactly, because even if there were clocks, it didn't show the time. The woman snapped her fingers and Cara crashed down to the floor. Cara woke up in a bed. It was a plaid bed that a single man would have. When she looked at her hands, they were skinnier and longer. She jumped up, only wearing underwear and a man's shirt. She screamed. Then, the sheets shuffled, and a man jumped up. He was a very fat man with a goatee and almost-black eyes. He looked at her with a mean look, then said "Shut the hell up, Laura. Next time you scream, I'm getting the belt." He laughed a very evil laugh. She didn't know why he had talked to her that way. She nodded and went to a dirty bathroom. It had a roach climbing up the toilet seat. She refrained from screaming, since she didn't want that man to hit her with a belt. She walked to the mirror. She slowly looked up, scared to see what this woman looked like. She was surprised when she saw a very pretty lady with crystal blue eyes and beautiful, long blonde hair. Why was she with this rude, ugly-looking asshole? Then she saw her arms. They were bruised, and apparently this woman had been cutting herself. She scooted closer to the mirror. She had bruises all over her face and a fresh slap mark on her cheek. Cara knew that this was an abusive relationship. She gasped and put her hands on her mouth. Then, she quickly closed and locked the door, now frightened of the man who had hurt this lady. She wanted to go into the bath and sit there for a few hours. When she opened the curtains, there was bags of cocaine in there. Too much for anybody to function correctly. The man called, " Laura, I'm ready to have some fun!" His hearty laugh came from the bedroom. He was coming to the bathroom. Cara froze. Oh no, she thought.
