"Are you ok?" I whispered with fear. The women was young. She looked like she was in her thirties, her lips were chapped, her eyes were blood shot red, her hair was knotted and greasy, she had cuts and bruises everywhere.
"H-eeelp me!" Her voice bairly a whisper.
"Why are you in here?" I asked with concern.
"Nor-ora" She stuttered.
"Oh, she has taken me too! Were going to get out of here I promise you" I frowned.
"She took my daughter and I!" Her voice cracked. I nodded.
"Where is she?" I questioned.
"She- she...shes gone" she sobbed. My mouth dropped, is she going to kill me too?
"How long have you been here?" I asked more scared then ever.
"A month, but it's hard to keep track when you're locked in a closet." she answered. My head started to throb more, how am I going to get us out of here?
I helped her out of the closet which I only then noticed didn't have a door handle on the inside ensuring that no one could get out. I then laid her in the bed. I blew out the lantern and then shut the closet.
"You have to stay very quite ok? I'm going to let you lay on here for a bit then I'm going to make a bed for you under the bed" I explained. The women nodded.
"I'm Laura" She breathed heavily before she passed out. I need to find food for her! I opened the door to my room, which thankfully wasn't locked and quietly tip toed into the kitchen, I looked at the round table to see Nora hadn't put the plates away! I scrambled towards them and then grabbed at least two plates and then grabbed the left over drinks on the table. I poured all the drinks into one of the cups and then scrapped all the left over food on one plate.
"What are you doing?" the high pitch voice of Rosie asked. I spun around fast.
"Cleaning up for your aunt" I lied. She smiled
"Can I help?" She questioned, showing her bleach white teeth. I shrugged.
"If you want to" I replied putting the dishes down.
"Ok! What do you want me to do?" Rosie asked.
"Here take these two plates over to the sink" I answered, handing her the dirty plates that had no food on them. Rosie took them and then came back.
"I'll start washing them, you clean the table! Here" Rosie said handing me a wet cloth.
"Ok but first let me get something from my room" I stated. Rosie nodded and then put the wet, dripping cloth on the black wooden table, I rushed to my room with the plate in my left hand and the cup in my right hand.
I opened up the door and then put the dishes on the long dresser, I rushed back into the kitchen. "Ok so you want me to wash the table?" I asked not noticing Nora standing in the kitchen with Rosie.
"What are you doing out here?" Nora snapped. My eyes widened, my body froze, my palms became clammy, my feet became numb.
"I was helping Rosie clean" I breathed heavily.
"Rosie get to your room please" Nora smiled, Rosie listened, leaving me alone with Nora.
"Don't you leave your room! Ever, listen to me. Once Rosie leaves, things are going to be different!" Nora snarled, I nodded. Nora shoved me to my room and then locked it.
"Laura" I whispered.
"What's going on?" A voice asked with fear.
"Nora said once Rosie, her niece leaves things are going to be different. I-I think she's going to kill me" I whimpered.
"What! Why?" The voice questioned.
"She kidnapped me for a reason. Why did she hurt your daughter?" I sobbed.
"What are you talking about?"The voice replied.
"Laura are you ok? You know what I'm talking about!" I stammered.
"Who's Laura?" The voice questioned.
