behind a holding cell

Chapter One

I knew what I was living right now wasn't life. I imagined myself doing something wonderful in life, like having an amazing job, having a family or helping the world around me. Sadly all those dreams have been taken away from me. I've missed out on my own life. Those are memories that can never be made up for.

I've been trapped in 'his' basement for 10 years, and it seems as if no one remembers me. I always told myself to stay positive because i know Mom and Dad would never let this happen. I finally realized that no one had cared or no one had even tried looking for me. I wonder if they're happy that I'm not around. The first 3 months I remember crying out every night wondering if they could hear me. Do they ever remember their 3 year old daughter that was taken by a stranger? What did I ever do wrong
I wonder what the outside world would look like. Sometimes i might get a glimpse of the sunlight now and then if im lucky, but I want to go outside and enjoy the world like everyone else.

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and directed my attention back to my swollen arm. Even if I'm only 13, I knew this couldn't go on any longer. I am physically and mentally drained. I want my freedom back! It's been 10 long years, and I don't see any help coming. My mind started to think of a plan to get out of here. I quickly started scanning the room to see if anything could help me. After a few minutes of finding nothing, something caught my eyes in the distance. I spotted a wall opening that I never noticed before. The opening was small, but I knew my small figure could go through it. I tried to find every ounce of energy in me, to get up. I finally got up and dusted my self off. I looked down at my small frail body, and started to feel bad for myself. I had became skin and bones. It's truly a miracle that I'm still here today. I took a deep breath, and started limping towards my only chance of escaping. As I approached the wall i saw a glimpse of light. I quickly said a little prayer, thanking God for keeping me alive for so long. Hopefully, this i'll finally had freedom.
