Four days, that’s how many days I’ve spent in this warehouse, that’s how many days I’ve spent getting beaten in front of a camera to show Sean how much pain Alan can inflict on me… I’m beginning to get so weak and tired I can barely lift myself off the ground, I’m constantly getting dragged everywhere, my blood… it’s all over here all over the walls from getting thrown against them after I have been hit or stabbed repeatedly. I think I’m starting to get infections in my wounds… it hurts to touch with the slightest touch…

A bang signals letting me know Alan has arrived for the day and I have to make another video.

“Get up sweetheart!” I lifted my head and began to drag my body across the floor blood trailing behind me as I crawled. I got to the camera and sat on the floor barely able to keep myself sitting up I wanted to fall over and pass out, just as I was about to do so my hair was getting yanked up, I winced at the pain. I was forced to look up at the screen up at Sean’s face he looked so tired and so sick you could tell he hasn’t been eating or sleeping he has lost a little weight.

“Hello Sean.”

“Please… let her go”

“I can’t do that yet Sean you haven’t given me all my money you’ve only given me twelve thousand dollars; that’s nowhere near what I need from you.”

“I can’t get the money that fast!”

“You have ten days to get it all to me” I was slapped hard across the face my body dropped to the floor I couldn’t even lift my hand to the stinging pain that was coursing through my face at this point all I could focus on was Sean’s screams of horror and cries.

“Stop hurting her!”

“Get me my money, ten days Sean.”

“I love you Rylie, I’m coming for you…” those were the last words I hear before the camera went black and all I could do was lie there on the floor which was stained with my blood and tears.  I dragged my half unconscious body across the floor until my weak arms couldn’t carry me any longer and I collapsed weak from starvation and exhaustion.
