The Missing

14. Who is she?

Jenna's POV

I am so confused right now. How long has this girl been here and who is she? All I know is the sound of her voice. I don't know her name and I don't know what she looks like. I don't want to talk to loud but I still want to have a conversation because it would be nice to talk to someone other than John for once. He don't really like me. He calls me all these awful names and he hits me almost everyday still. The worst thing he has done to me was when he got drunk and threw a glass bottle at me. Those hurt so bad when they shatter on your head. But common sense would say that even if you never got hit with one.

When I was 10 I never knew I would cry myself to sleep not knowing when I will see my mom and dad again. I was nine and I knew I was scared to walk to my friends house alone or stand outside the store waiting for my sister to get what she needed, but by the time I got older I didn't care as much. I thought I was old enough that something like this wouldn't happen to me. If only I knew.

There's nothing that can change this though. The first day I remember so well. I was in denial. I thought it was just a nightmare. I had maybe one dream that I was being kidnapped. Its weird to have dreams like that. I was only 12 years old. I barely knew what would even happen. I find it weird that you know things that aren't real. You can make up people or know how long you've been there.

I fall asleep, but I soon wake up to the sound of the door squealing. I jolt up and look around the room, it's something outside my door, probably John. I slowly crawl over to the door and peek under. I see him going into the door that he put Taylor in. I have watched what goes on for a while now through this door. 

He walks in and closes the door behind him. I hear their low muffled talking but nothing I can really understand. I start to hear crying. "Shut up." I hear him say a little loudly. I hear the really quiet sound of someone being smacked. I feel bad because I know he is hurting that girl, or maybe even my sister. I don't know where Taylor is though because if she was in that room wouldn't she have said something when I was talking to the girl in there?

I go back to my bed after a long time of silence and just listen for any more noise before I fall back asleep.

Becca's POV Hour before

I wake up to the sound of the door being opened, without looking I know who it is. It is the only person who ever comes in here. I hear the door shut and then the light turns on drowning out the darkness of this closet. He grabs my shoulder and whispers in my ear. "Undress." He says and I feel like I am going to throw up. I don't know what to do so I cry. Seems like I cry for every problem I face.

"Please leave me alone." I say in the best way I possibly could. 

"Shut up." He says a little loudly causing me to cry harder. "You're going to wake everyone up. You don't want that do you?" He asks and I shake my head no, knowing that it's the right answer. "Now take off your clothes." He demands, but I still refuse. He takes off my clothes himself and then he rapes me. I try to not be here, I think of anything else to distract myself from what is going on, but it don't work. This is so wrong, I hate it. I just want to go home.

He leaves some time later and I cry myself back to sleep. I am going to get home, I just need to get through this. I always ask myself why God would do this to me? I never did anything wrong. If he were really in control wouldn't he let my mom know where I am so I could be back home? Why would he let me suffer like this?

All these questions flood into my head, but my questions can't be answered. I am alone.

Back to the other night, that girl I heard, is she his 'daughter' that he keeps talking about. If so why would he keep her in that room all this time. I never knew she was here. Or maybe that is Taylor's sister she told me about a while ago. I am sure John don't really have children. 

Important Authors Note

And I know this ending is very weird because I didn't know how to end it off. Sorry.
