I wake up to a sharp pain in my head, then slashing pain runs through my whole body, I lie there with my headache and wait for it to dissipate. The morning light fills the room, and makes the situation seem more mild.

I lie in the same spot and enjoy the quiet, I haven't had much peace lately so this is very relieving, even though I'm in great pain. The silence seems to settle my mind, quiet it.

 I hear screaming, outside the front of the house, my heart pumps and I freeze, I'm scared, but I shouldn't be, and I don't know why I'm scared.

Then the door opens and I hear whimpering from their new victim. Wait, they mentioned that I'd like their next victim. Who could it be?

They get closer, now they are stomping up the stairs and I see the door fling open, I assume it's Jasmin opening it, like she did when they caught me. I hear shuffling and voices, then they're in the room, Pat and Tyler are holding someone the way they held me, they drop her on the floor and leave.

The girl sees me and her green eyes widen, those eyes, the oval shape of her face, the light brown hair in a high ponytail, the tank top, the shorts. It's Taylor.

Her mouth falls open and so does mine, we stare at each other in silence. They must've left Jasmin here to guard me, but, I can't believe this.

My friend, Taylor, is the one who knows everything about me, I tell her everything, I can't believe it, I put her in danger, it's all my fault. How can they be so cruel!

My pain disappears and is taken over by anger and disappointment in myself, I won't let them touch her, she doesn't deserve this! They can do whatever they want to me, but I won't let them lay a finger on her, she didn't do anything wrong!

Then James comes in with the same knife he used to cut the duct tape from my wrists and ankles, she freaks out and looks at me with fear. I smile and nod trying to tell her it's okay, she stays still and he leaves when he's finished.

Taylor sits up, and just sits there looking at me, many emotions come and go from her eyes and face, then tears come streaming down her, soft, perfect, cheeks.

"Are you okay, how did they catch you?" I ask and she hesitates before answering.

"I...I....I was walking home...and...and... they came up and put a cloth over my mouth, I...I went unconscious and I woke up when they were taking me out of that van." She sobs from shock, fear, and confusion. "I...I...I'm fine." She wipes her eyes and looks over me. "Oh my gosh! What happened to you!" She looks shocked at my current state.

"Nothing important, I really don't want to talk about it." I sit up and anger takes away all of my pain.

"I think you're lying." She looks right into my eyes and I feel like she can see the memories in them. But she groans and falls on the floor.

"Taylor, what's wrong!" I scream and jump to her side.

"I hit my head when I fell, after they drugged me." She explains rubbing her head and weakly sitting up again.

Now I can't just sit here, the anger burns through my mind and I forget everything else but my anger and the reason for it. I stand and stomp over to the door, I bang my fist on the wood, it has my heart pumping with my fury and all of it goes into my banging.

"What..." Jasmin opens the door and before thinking, all my absolute fury, weight, and feelings for my friend go into the fist in the face I give her, it feels so satisfying when it connects and she drops unconscious to the floor.

Tyler and Pat are racing up the stairs and charging over, Pat pins me against the wall by my shoulders and I stick my finger in his eye. My complete fury goes into his eye, he screams in pain and falls to his knees, then Tyler grabs my hands and swipes my feet from under me, I fall with a thud, but my pain is still gone with my anger raging over it.

"RUN!" I scream at the top of my lungs, my heart races and pounds, I see Taylor stop and her eyes widen with fear and surprise. "GO, NOW!" I yell at her and she runs.

Jasmin groans and sits up, her face purple and swollen.

"Go get the girl!" Tyler yells to her, when he does this I throw myself around, he's not expecting it so I get away and run after Jasmin. I leap onto Jasmin's back and she falls back, on top of me. I gasp for air and she traps me as Tyler races past and I hear Taylor scream, this infuriates me and I manage to get up, even though my muscles burn and race outside, I barrel into Tyler who is on all fours on top of my friend.

We wrestle and he pulls a knife on me, I go for the eyes but he moves his head at the last second and I barely miss, then he stabs my leg and puts a cloth over my mouth I struggle and hold my breath but he shoves it into my mouth and once more, I fall into darkness.
