  I was stuck under ground for about a week. I was going crazy from boredom I would talk to my self and always being  dehydrated didn't help. I would spend hours trying to pry open the small whole that delivered my oxygen.

When Johnny came on the 7th day he told me to get a away from the rock. I listened. He smashed the wall down with a shovel. I quickly crawled out of the whole. I tried to stand up but fell back down almost instantly. I was laying on my stomach collapsed. I smelled like shit probably because I had been sitting in my own shit for the past week. I couldn't even stand but I still tried to run I was crawling and rolling away from him. He said "don't run I want to play with you." I started to cry. He grabbed me and through me over his shoulder.
     We were going down a long tunnel that seemed to be man made. Then the tunnel forked and we went to the left it forked again and we went to the right. It started to get colder and then we were out. We came out of the ground at the same place that he was digging. He dug those tunnels. I don't know how he could do that in such a short time. I asked him "How did you dig all of these tunnels." He said nothing. He took me into the house, there was dirt everywhere furniture was flipped on its side. A table was nailed to the roof. As we walked up the stairs there was blood all over the walls. He took me to the bathroom and said "Take a shower, I want you to look pretty."
     I told him I wouldn't take a shower until he was out of the room and he listened. As soon as he left the room I locked the door. He started banging on it vigorously. "Elizabeth open the door right now." he said in a an angry voice. I tried to smash the window with my fist but nothing happened. Johnny started to bang louder " Answer me now." He siad more frustrated. I picked up a the jar ,that had are tooth brushes in it, and through it as hard as I could at the window. It shattered, glass was everywhere. I tried to climb down the side of the house but I fell. I was fine except I had shards of glass in my feet and hands. I ran over to are car. It was locked. I heard  a high pitched scream from the house. I knew where spare keys were, they were in the house next to our bed.
  I didn't know what to do. Without thinking I started to run down the road. It was about 12 miles until you made it to the main road that led to Queed. It was almost dark out and I know that I couldn't run that far. I could sleep because some how whenever I do Johnny finds me. It would be to easy for him to find me on the road. So I go into the forest but I stay close to the road so I wouldn't get lost. After have jogging and half walking for about 30 minutes it got cold. As soon as the sun set it dropped 20 degrees and it got dark fast. I thought I was hallucinating because every time I looked back I would see Johnny standing there and then I would blink and he was gone. The first time it scared me so bad that I started to run as fast as I could but I looked back again and there was nothing. I crept doing this until after about 10 times  I looked back and there was nothing I looked back again and there was still nothing but when I looked back the third time I tripped on a branch and fell. I got back up but my leg was badly cut. Instantly warm blood started to tickle down my cold leg. And for a few seconds it felt good until the cut started to hurt. I put pressure on it but it wouldn't stop. I took off my shirt and wrapped it around my leg. It wasn't doing much but it was better than nothing. When I looked up from my leg I saw a white figure standing behind a tree 30 feet or so away from me. I started to run again my leg was bleeding and it hurt so bad but I had to keep running. Through the some trees  I saw a light. I ran towards it with what remaining strength I had left. It was a small cabin. I knocked on the door and it opened.
