I was on my phone in the car, waiting for someone, anyone, to say something. Jennifer and Stewart kept whispering to one another which made me feel quite uncomfortable.

"Oh no no you don't need that" Jennifer tutted as she turned around and grabbed my phone off me.

"Hey! That's mine! You can't take it from me!"

"We are your guardians now, we can do what we want with you."

It sounded almost threatening. We got to the house. It was pretty boring.

They told me where my room was but I was greatly disappointed.

There was a bed, a small set of drawers and a wardrobe. The walls were a dull grey colour and the carpet was light beige.

"Dinner Marie!" Stewart shouted down. I walked down the stairs to see two tables set up. "You'll be eating over here" he continued, showing me to a place in another room where the smaller table was.

They were in the kitchen diner, there was an archway that lead to the room that I'm in. This room literally had a table and a chair.

For dinner it was salad. I mean, ok yeah salad is nice but I literally just moved in with you.

After eating they told me to sit down in the garden for a while. It was raining. I did as I was told. The garden was mainly overgrown and filled with clutter.

There was a chair and a table so I sat down. It was ages before they called me back inside.

"Night Marie. Up to bed now please" said Jennifer sternly.

"But it's only 6:30!"

"Now! I'll take you up there myself!"

"Let me brush my teeth first!" I went into the bathroom and did my teeth and all that.

I unlocked the door and opened it to see Jennifer was standing right outside it. "Come on" she said, ushering me into my bedroom.

She pushed me in and locked the door. SHE LOCKED ME IN!

I noticed that the small table that I has originally eaten on was now also in my bedroom. There was an on suit but no door. Just a toilet and sink where I decided to place my wash bag.

What to do...what to do...what to do...?

There was no chance of me falling asleep. It's way too early. Then I heard the front door being opened. I shot to my window and looked out to see Jennifer and Stewart leave!

Now I'm locked in and they have left me here all alone! How did they pass all the tests? The window had a net thing on it, rather than a curtain.

You know what, I'm going to sleep. I'm sick of this day and I hope it just turns out to be one horrible nightmare.

I woke up and could smell bacon. That's more like it! I sat up in bed and saw piles and piles of consoles, cameras, tv's, torches and other gadgets just laying in my room. Then I looked to the table and saw some toast and water.

No bacon for me then. I ate the bland food and got dressed in the bathroom. The door unlocked and in stormed Stewart. He was different.

He now wore black skinny jeans with a plain t shirt and a leather jacket.

"Your awake" he boomed.

"Yes" I croaked. I was sat on my bed and he was now standing above me.

"Did you touch any of the gear?"

"No I didn't I swear..."

"Good. Because if I find out your lying to me...." He held up a fist in the air, threateningly.

"Can I have my phone back please?"

"Of corse you can. That was just to make sure you were good." He reached into his pocket and handed me my phone before walking out, locking the door as he went.

I'm confused. He locks me in with a load of stolen stuff then just hands me my phone. What's stopping me from calling Ashdene Ridge right now?

I looked and saw that I had a load of messages from various people.

I didn't know Carmen would care. I'm certain Tee would have had something to do with it. The rest were all from Ryan...

The last one was sent early this morning. I went to reply but then I realised something, there was no credit on my phone. That's the catch right there. He took all of the credit off my phone so that I can't call anybody, and I don't have any money.

I began to cry. This isn't fair. I can't even contact my boyfriend, or any of my friends from the dumping ground. They just lock me in as they go on the rob and then act like nothing has happened all day.

The door swung open again.

"Shut up!" Bellowed Jennifer. She also looked different, similar to Stewart.

"Let me go home!" I cried. I tried to rush past her but she grabbed my wrist and held me back.

"You ain't going anywhere!" She said before slapping my face so hard that I fell to the ground!

It hurt, lots. There was a small amount of blood coming off it but that didn't bother me much.

"Now you're staying in here, Stewart and I are going away for a while." With that, she locked the door, and left the house. She took Stewart with her in her black car.

What am I going to do?

I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to get my phone, get a key and leave.

There was a trick that Kazima taught me. Slide a piece of paper under the door then knock the key out of the lock and onto the paper. Then, you can slide it under the door and you're free.

One problem. I have no paper.

I cried again. For a really long time. My eyes were stinging and my throat was sore. I got another text from Ryan.

R: I'm coming to check on you, be there in 5 xxx

This is perfect! Ryan will come and get me out of here! He will have Mike with him because it's way too far to walk! I'm going home.
