Rescue

Nine Years later, this girl was still traped in the house of her foster parents. She grew up and became a beautiful young Lady. Altough her beauty was hidden. Her long blond hair hadn't been calmbed in a very long time, her skin was very pale and her once so beautiful green eyes lost all the sparkles.

She was undernourished as well and had to struggle with the hard work she had to do. She wasn't allowed to go to school since they had adopted her and she hadn't had anyone to speak with. She was about to get crazy when something changed in her life.

It has been a normal day, or so she thought. She got up very early because her foster dad crashed into the celler and slammed her face. He didn't noticed that the thick door wasn't closed.

She knew why he beat her. She hadn't done her work properly last evening. She immediately felt guilty and begged him to forgive her but he didn't stop. He hit and kicked her several times and stoped right bevore she could pass out. He left her alone. He still didn't close the door properly...

The bolnde lay on the cold floor and cried. The darkness surrounded her and she felt claustrophobic again. She started screaming but no one heard her, or so she thought.

*on the other side of the town*

"So guys, we got a call from a worried neighbor. He said he heard screams from the cellar of his neighbor. He asked if we could have a look and see if something is wrong. So, who volunteers?" a steady men voice asked.

No one raised his hand. I mean, there are definitely more exciting things, than to search for something in a cellar. No one believed, there could actually be something or someone.

When no one seemed to do anything the sheriff raised his voice a little: "Really guys?! Come on! Someone has to go with me. Why do you even work here?!" he made a short pause and said: "Well Leroy, you are my lucky choice. You are going to come with me." Leroy sighed annoyed but went with him.

They parked infornt of a big house. I would even say it is a small mension. They knocked at the door and a 40 year old man opened it.

„Are you Greg Mendell?"

„Yes, and you are?" the grumpy man answerd.

The Sheriff took out his ID and showed it to him. „I'm David Nolan. I'm the Sheriff here in town. Someone-„ A steamed scream interrupted Davids speach and the two officers looked at each other.

„Well, what was that?"

„N...Nothing. I...it was just my wife. She just... just-„

„Save it!" David interrupted him angry. „We can do this the easy way, and you let me in or we can do this the hard way. Anyway I come in."

Suddenly the man punshed David in the face and kicked Leroy pretty hard. He used the second, in wich both were distrected and ran. Leroy immediatelly ran after him and David made his way in. His gun in his right hand. Always ready to use it. He heard another scream and followed the noise. He went down some stairs into the celler and the screams became louder.

Suddenly he saw her. The beautiful blonde. Laying on the floor. Screaming the hell out of her lungs.

*Emmas perspective*

She heard the steps coming down the stairs. Her fear became bigger with every step. As did her screams. The heavy door opened but she didn't dare to look up. Instead she just screamed louder.

Her lungs were about to explode when she heard the srange voice. The girl never heard it before. She didn't understand a word but she realised, the voice was soft and calm.

She stopped screaming immediatelly and froze. This couldn't be her foster father. He could never be so friendliy, could he?

She raised her head and saw the gun. She screamed again. Suddenly all her pain was gone and she ran to the wall. As far away as possible. Screaming again.

*Davids perspective*

She raised her head and he could see her face. Her long oily hair covert most of her face but he saw the eyes. Those beautiful green eyes which lost all their sparkles a long time ago. They were red because of all the crying and she had big eye bags. Her lips were try and lost all the colour. Then he realised how bony she was. Her cheeks were sunken and all in all she didn't look healthy at all.

He tried to calm her down ands said: „Hey, I won't hurt you. I'm here to help you." She heard the soft voice and stopped screaming again. She looked up and realized, that he put his gun away. He looked so carring and friendly but she knew better than to trust someone she didn't know.

„It's better without the screaming, isn't it." She looked at him and nooded slowly. He came near her and her breath started to hitch. He stopped immediatelly.

„Listen, I won't hurt you! I just want you to get out of here." She looked at him terrified.

„Don't be afraid." She thought about it. Well, there wasn't anything for her to lose, was there? She calmed down and with every second she calmed more, the pain grew bigger again. When her breath was normal again the pain was incredible big and she fell down. Bevore she hit the floor, two hands cought her. She looked up and saw David.

A few moments later, they stood infront of the exit. Emma took a deep breath and stepped, with Davids help, outside. The girl had to close her eyes. The sun was too bright. She wasn't used to it and the light hurted her eyes. Suddelny everything became black as she faited.

Hope you liked it.
