Chapter #1

Waking up

I was not scared... I was not frightened... Not of the dark... Not the fact that I did not know where I was... Or the voices... The sound of footsteps outside the door. I'm not really sure what I was felling but I stayed calm, I did not even see if the door was unlooked, mainly because of the fear of what I might find on the other side.

I was sitting at the top of the only bed in the room when he came in, jugging from how tired I was when he opened the door it must have been at least a day since I woke up. He sat down on the side of the bed after setting a tray of food on the dresser, not saying a word, so I spoke first.

"what are you going to do with me?"

"I have not decided yet." he said.

He just sat there looking at me for a long minuet, he reached up and gently cupped my face in one hand, I just sat there not wanting make it seem as if I was going to run out the door. He started moving his thumb back and forth gently brushing my cheek as if he had know me his hole life and had come to care for me, but I had never seen him before, then he got up

"You should get some sleep." He said not turning around to look at me as he spoke, and then left the room.

When the door was closed I let out a beep breath. He had not locked the door when he left but I did not take any chances I stayed on the bed and did as he said, I slept, I was not worried about what I would wake up to, I felt that as long as he was around somewhere I would be safe.
