TRADITION

New surroundings

When I woke up, I thought I was at home in bed but suddenly, as I realised my arms were tied up behind me I began to panic. As I pulled my arms trying to get out the rope got even tighter on my wrist and began to break my skin, I yelped out in pain. Someone must have heard me as heavy footsteps began to drag up the stairs. Looking around trying to see if I could escape I noticed metal bars on the windows. As I attempted to hide from whoever was coming up the stairs I heard about 6 clicking noises before the door burst open. It was Kenneth...

Moments passed before any of us said a word, but Kenneth just looked at me with his sickening grin. The first thing Kenneth said was "finally your awake Kate,"
I replied with "Where the hell am I."
"Your at our new home" he replied still with his spine chilling grin gradually getting closer to me
"I want to go back with chloe" I snapped at him trying to look like I wasn't afraid of him but it was obvious due to me shaking in his presence,
"You can't go back you live here now" he snapped back
"Sorry" I said trying to play the sympathy card "please can you untie me my arms are in agony" I cried making sure to make my voice sound weak. To my suprise he agreed and let me loose.

As soon as both my arms were free I examined my wrists to see the damage I had done when I was trying to escape, they were covered is blood and had deep wounds from where the rope had tightened around them.
"Let me get you something for that" he said looking horrified, I was so shocked to see the man who abducted me take care of me like this. He is only trying to help I say to myself, then a sudden wave of reality hits me. what am I saying, this is the man who abducted me, god only knows what he did to me while I was out.
While Kenneth was fixing my arms I found the courage to ask him
"Why are you helping me if you want to hurt me?"
Kenneth replied with
"I never wanted to hurt you, the night I met you I felt sorry for you so I brought you back here to take care of you."
I was just about to ask another question when I felt a sharp pain shot down my face then a few seconds later I realised that Kenneth had just punched my cheekbone

Startled my first reaction was to ask the question "why are you doing this?" And without hesitation Kenneth gave me another blow to the face even harder this time I ran to the corner of the room in fear of being hit again. I knew I shouldn't have trusted the man who abducted me, I should have known better than to answer the stranger ...
