Chapter 4

           ~ 3 months later~

        I don't know how long I have been here for but it has been way to long.  I think of poor Amanda who we’ve we yet to know if she is still with us. Ken and I grow closer every day, we are long lost sisters. It seems a shame we had to meet like this. I have lost a fair amount of weight, but Ken keeps me strong and willing to go on. We make up stories in our head of the lives we sadly cannot live in till we are free, but these stories keep us strong and hopeful. I still wonder if our families are even looking for us or do they still believe we are alive. Or have we just been forgotten about. Even the things I hated like school I miss and wanting to go back. When or if I ever go back in to the world upon again I hope that I can move on from my experiences.

        It seems to be getting colder down here, so we think that winter is coming soon. I found an old light switch and me and Ken worked on it to see if we can fix it. We got the light working for a few days, but the bulb broke. We cuddle up in the blankets and talk about the old days. The days and nights feels like a million years, we have lost our childhood.  The other day the people gave us two buckets of water for the first time, we were so happy, because we get so thirsty. We have not eaten in days and we are starting to get use to our tummies growl for food. The door swung open and a person laid a box down and an extra bucket to. Then just like that the door slammed shut. With a little bit of excitement me and Ken both when and grabbed the bucket and the box. We carefully calculated the water just in case we are not going to get any for a while.

        Then Ken said S “lets open the box". We open the box carefully just to be safe and inside there was three old baggie sweat shirts, two pairs of socks, a light bulb and a box of some cereal. We both were in amazed. Ken was going to put the light bulb in and I was going to wash the clothes. For the first time I will get to put a sweater on and socks on my feet. I couldn’t wait for them to be dried; just to be able to put them on was a great feeling. Kendall and I took a glass of water a little bit of cereal and half an apple each. We felt like queens getting this stuff considering our circumstances. After we washed our self’s and snuggled up in a blanket under the light, we started to read this book. The book is called if I stay. Ken was helping me with some of the words I don’t know and helping me read the book. After a while we chose to close the book and turn the light out to get some sleep.
