KINOWAH LAKE

taken at midnight

I felt a cold wet spot on my shoulder. I felt the hands and arms around my thighs. soon i figured out my wrists and legs were tied. and there was a rag in my mouth tied around my head. I awoke but it was still dark. my eyes were blind-folded. I was slopping wet, and i was cold. i started wriggling around, trying to make the stranger loose his grip. Yes i knew it was a man. his arms were big and hairy. But when i started spazzing out, I realized he had a death grip on me. he was not letting go. when he found out i was awake, i felt a big bang on my head, and i was out.

Soon, i was awake again. I woke to dizzy, and blurry vision, but then it cleared up. I heard girls crying. I looked to the side and i saw a Hindu girl looking up at the sky, mumbling a desperate prayer. she was sweaty, or just wet by the rain and her face was soaked with tears, it appeared. Then I looked down at the floor, my legs were bare. I was naked, and so were the rest of the girls, and there were hundreds of them. all crying, and all naked.

The place we were at was dark and dirty, and there was no roof. we were tied up by our biceps by a long, rope. I peered over to the front of me, there was Alex!!

"Alex! Please! why am I here? help me!" I yelled the words, he didn't respond. instead he shook his head with a chuckle.

"Alex!!" I yelled.

And he came over and slapped me as hard as he could.the girls gasped. He then smiled and kissed the burning part of my cheek, his cool breath made it a little better.

"Hello beautys!!" said a woman's voice. She was unusually looking- ugly.

we all hushed up. but still, silent cries filled the air.

"Now, then, shall we get on with this?" the ugly woman said.

"yes" said Alex, I gave him a glare, and i got slapped again.

She sighed for a second. "Now, you are all here because...?" No answer.

"No replies, huh? Well, sweethearts, it's because your beautiful, of course."

me? beautiful? even lord valtomort would run away if he saw my face... I thought.

"Do not doubt that your ugly children, or you will be punished." She said.

I knew i was screwed, I thought I was ugly.

"Now, my workers are going to tie your hands up, and we'll lead you to or head quarters, March in a single-file line." said the old woman.

in about thirty minutes, all of us were leashed together. And one girl in the line was very sweet, and made me feel alot better. She was behind me, and as we walked, we whispered to each other.

"So whats your name." she whispered to me.

"Kamille, your's?"

"Ashley, and I'm scared."

"yeah me too."

"What do you think they do to people in there?" She whispered.

"I don't know, hopefully its not so bad."

"yeah, so whats your favorite song?" she asked.

"The One That Got Away, Katy Perry, you?"

"A piano song called 'beauty is within'."

"oh?" I said, just to be nice.

"yeah, it goes dah, dah, dah, dah dahh." she sang. The whipper, as i called him, whipped Ashley in the back, and yelled, he must've heard her.

"owww!!" she sang out in pain, and stopped to acknowledge what she was feeling and was tripped over, and walked on, because her part of the leash was splitting in two, and it ripped.

"Ashley!" I whispered.
