Chaper 12

~ Next Day ~

                I have been awake for a small time now, but the little girl is still asleep in my arms. I have to go to the washroom but I don’t want to wake her. Her life has sadly just came to an end. Everything has been taken from her. I wonder if her parents are franticly looking all over the city looking for their lost daughter. I pray that they keep on looking and never give up on finding her. Most importantly never give up hope for her to be found.  I pray the same thing for my family too. I saw the door open and that boy stands there and says “how’s the girl.” For the first time I speak to him but only to say “Distraught because everything has been taken from her." He puts his head down as if he feels guilty and says “I’m sorry but it has to be done.’’  Then he puts a box down and slowly shuts the door. What does he mean when he says this has to be done?

Also is he really sorry for what he has done to all of us or is he just saying it.  My urge is too great to go to the washroom, so I carefully lay the girl down and go to the washroom. I take to cups and fill them with water then I pick the girl back up and cradle her once more. After a while she starts to stir, and then her eyes flutter open and the tears just starts to pour down. I talk to her to try and calm her down. Then after a few minutes she asks where we are? I can only tell her that I do not know. She asks me my name and I tell her that my name is Stacey but she can call me Stac. I asked her name and she replied Lillian, but you can call me Lil. I gave Lil a cup of water and she drank it extremely fast. Lil asked me my age and I just looked at the ground and said I don’t know. Her face looked confused, then she asked me why. I frowned and told her that I have been here for years and don’t even know what year it is anymore. Her face went to ghost white and then she said oh. Then she told me the last day she knew that the day she was brought here was July 4th 2011. So I told her that I am 13 almost 14 then. Her faced looked shocked at that, then she told me we were the same age. With terror on her face she asked me how long have I been here for? I thought to myself for a second then I said 6 years.

I wanted to get our minds away and told her to engrave her name with the year on the wall. She did, then after she read all the names. She asked me where they all our, I had to tell lil the truth, she has the right to know. “They are all dead." My voice got quiet and I told lil that knew Amanda and Kendall. They were held her since they were 11 they would be 23 and 22. Lil looked up and said they were her since 1999. I nodded my head, then said Amanda has been gone for 4 years maybe and Kendall has been gone for three years maybe. I changed the subject immediately about the rules of survival and I showed her all that I know, thanks to Amanda and Ken. I am no longer alone but now I see that I have to get her out of this place alive. I don’t know how or when, but I know it has to be done. Nobody deserves to live in this hell.
