Lost Love; Danny

Something Hidden; Danny

Chapter 7

I have been looking through the books on the book shelf all day and my guess was right. I have found twelve names in three seprate books.

In To Kill A Mockingbird, the names Angie Tufferillo, Chloe Marchel,  Clarissa Hogens, Ashlyn Childs and Tara Stevens were all written down. They didn't put any dates down so that didn't help me at all.

In the next book, Pride and Prejudice,  Lauri King, Marni Holmes and Katy Ward  were written. Marni and Katy had put dates down. Marni put down July 1998 and Katy put down june 2002.

As i read these names, i wrote them down in a column in my journal.

The last book was called Run For Your Life, pretty reasonable if i do say so myself. Karie Johnson, Ebony Snow, Whitney Reemer and Taylor Pearson were written down.  All of them had written down dates. I made a list from old kidnaps to the most recent ones as far as i could tell.

Angie Tufferillo- Unknown

Chole Marchel- Unknown

Ashlyn Childs- Unknown

Tara Stevens- Around 2000

Clarissa Hogens- Around 2001

Whitney Reemer-Unknown

Marni Holmes-  July !998

Lauri King-  Somewhere between 1998 and 2002

Katy Ward- June 2002

Annie Clark- June 2004

Karie Johnson-July 2005

Ebony Snow - July 2008

Jaymie Crum- July 2011

I listed the names by the dates and by the looks of when they were written down. From all of the girl on that list i could tell that none of them were as smart as Annie. For all i know about these girls, they could have died within a week. The smart pretenders are the ones who acquire plans.

I have been reading Annie's journal and she described everything that they were doing now. They don't treat you like a hostage, but they keep you for a couple weeks. I have read to page 15 so far.

Day 19

I grow weary of this dull room. I don't do anything in here. Although i found a book with names in it. To Kill A Mockingbird had five  names written down so i know that there were more girls taken. How long did they survive? How long were they kept here? Are they alive? I have no way of finding these things out. I have no one to talk to here... Sitting in silence, with my thoughs of how i am going to die. Thoughts i do not want to think about at all. I know there will be more victims after me. Whoever finds this, you need to get out of there. If you don't you will die. I don't even know if anyone will find this. But there is hope that someone, maybe their next victim will. Get out, before it is too late.

-Annie

So far throughout this book she has talked about the habits of these men, and there personalities as far as she could tell. She has also talked about her life, her family and as i choked down tears, her boyfriend. 

Annie's boyfriend Scott was joining the army. Annie got taken before she could tell him goodbye. I didn't get to tell Danny goodbye before he left. Everytime i think of him i want to cry forever until he comes back, he is never coming back.

Focus Jaymie. Focus. I thought.

I turned the page in Annie's journal and continue to read.

Day 21

It has been exactly three weeks since i have been captured. They show no sign of killing me, yet. I am starting to wonder if they want to torture me or something. I feel as though i am going mad. I see images in the room of Scott and my mother as if they are real. I miss them so much.  My mothers name is Hanna Clark, she is a great relastate agent and a great mother. My father's name was Andrew Kirkmen. My father left me and my mother when i was seven years old. My boyfriends name is Scott Hummel, he is the best guy ever. Scott has brown hair and ice blue eyes that never miss anything. I had a best friend, her name was Lexi, she was a spastic pixi-haired ball of energy. I miss them all. They were all i had, and now i have no one. To whoever is reading this, i hope you don't forget your life outside of these walls. Memories are the only things that keep us sane.

-Annie

There was a shadow by the door. The deadbolt started to unlock, i paniced and silently ran to the dresser and shoved the book under a pair of pants. I cursed myself because i put too much pressure on my bad knee. I sat back down on the bed as Derek came in.

"Hey. Are you ok?" He asked.

I nodded, blinking back tears.

"Have you tried walking on your bad leg?" He asked.

I nodded. He talked for a little bit and i sat listening. It still surprises me that he trusts me so much. I find it rather odd that he doesn't remember that much about himself.  It was getting later and as derek continued talking, i fell asleep. My last thought was about the pocket knife in the trick board, and how i will use it to get out of this place.
