I felt my feet drag in the mud as I was carried away. I didn't know what to feel or hear. I couldn't believe it was Charlie. The man who I had trusted. I wondered when my parents would be home. They had just left so they wouldn't be here in time.
Suddenly, I saw a blur of headlights, but I couldn't move. I tried to attract attention, but it was impossible. I watched them drive away in the darkness.
We then reached stairs. I felt the rain stop drizzling on my shoulders and I felt the air change. Charlie handled me down some stairs and I felt my feet bump on each stair.
When we reached the bottom, I felt a throbbing pain at my head. I had realized that he had dropped me on my head, now bleeding. I felt everything go dark.

I woke up to a blurry, dim lit room. I tried to pick my head up, but it hurt too bad. I looked up and everything had focused. The ceiling was made of wood, somewhat moldy. It was rainy there apparently, and it had probably seeped through the sides.
I felt a tapping at my shoulder and I was rolled over. I looked at the
figure, and it was a she.
"My name is Bella. Who are you?"
I studied her figure. She had blonde, shaggy hair. Her eyes were green.
"Haley," I said with a frail voice. She looked at me and then started talking, "I've been here for years."
My eyes were immediately open. I tried to sit up but still couldn't.
She spoke again, "He keeps his victims for 8 years."
I was thinking the possibilities. Why? Why me? "Why me? Why you?" I jolted out.
She stared at me.
"I don't know. I've been trying to remember for years now," she said.
She said something that sounded like a sentence to her death bed,
"The only thing wrong is that my time is almost up."Hello sweets! I'm sorry I have not updated in sooo long! I'm so sorry and I apologize! Please stay tuned I will update probably this week or next! I love y'all but I have to go to bed so good night!!!!!!!!!
