Hidden Secrets

B A L I E E

I grunt as I pull at my chains one more time. I can feel my blood leaving drops of fear onto my toes as I cry silently in the dark.

I think it's really time.

We got caught up this time & it's even worse then last time we got caught slipping. I was at least in a stable room, I could see, and back then they were a bunch of child's play so it wasn't a big scare but they came back big and better.

ready.

I loose feeling in my thigh which is where they shot me. Ugh, this is not the way I wanted to say goodbye.

I start to pray at this saddening moment right now.

"God, if you can hear me.. I hope your listening but I'm coming to you today just for your forgiveness. I know I messed up and made horrible mistakes & sins that feel like can't even be washed away but I just want you to forgive me. If this is really the end, I want to come clean with you. With all the curves you gave me.. I just want to say thank you because I turned out great. Thank you for Jayce, Aura, Megs, August, and most importantly Abuela. I miss her so much & if this is the day I finally close my eyes for good, I want to go with Abuela and live happily in heaven under your wing. I'm begging you heavenly father to look after everyone I love & who is dearest to my heart. It's all I ask for. I'm so sorry for everything I've done wrongful and I want to make it right. Please, just- if this is it .. I'm sorry." I cry dropping my head.

I haven't heard one soul wherever I am and that makes me even more scared. Where am I?!

What about my baby? What about the seed I'm carrying & I'm supposed to be caring for?

Everything is just boiling over on me and I feel myself having a panic attack.

I try to take deep breaths but it makes my short breaths worse. I look around the dark room, still unable to see as I start to fight my chains.

My adrenaline begins to pump because if I'm going out, I'm not going out a quitter.

I start to pull at the chains more trying to find the base of them. I find the wall that I'm connected to and the hook where the chains are connected to.

I start to kick the wall hoping to break the connector from the wall, letting my chains free, which will let me loose.

I pound the wall and soon my legs shoot right through the wall.

My hands are free.

I slide my body out of the hole I created in the wall and to my luck, it's just another black space.

"Help!" I shout hoping somebody will hear me or I can at least hear someone.

"Hello?" I hear a mumble and soon a thump on the wall. "Who's here?!" I shout. "Baliee!" I hear the cry of Quee. "Baby." My heart starts to pump hearing his voice.

"Where are you?" He says through a wall that I can't locate. "I don't know. But I broke out of the chains to my arms. My legs aren't free." I say.

"Listen to me because you only have a little bit of time. Vanessa and Khari are behind this. I don't know where they are so you have to make this quick. Every room on the left corner from the door there is a window, it's just painted black so you can see. Break out the window and get the gun in the 3rd flower in the 5th row of the garden. Come back and get me, okay?" He says.

"How do you know where we are?" I ask confused.

"I bought this place for X when I was 15, Vanessa was with me. My keys to this warehouse went missing a couple of months ago. It's either this warehouse or we're really fucked up." He says.
