She sits on the cold hard ground. The masked man walks over to her holding a bucket of water. 

" What is the password to your account?" he says looking at her with a death stare 

" I....I can't remember.."  she stutters

The man splashes the cold water onto her face. 

*******Karen's perspective*******

The cold water hits my face and I find it hard to breathe. He can't know, David and I worked hard to earn that money. How were we supposed to raise Ellie without that money?

He stares as me, his eyes beckoning death. Frustrated he walks up and leaves me in the cold, dark room. I sit in the dark completely soaked trying not to shiver.  My mind starts racing.

What is going to happen to me?How am I going to escape? How am I going to live like this? I look over at David who is sound asleep. How did this even happen? I think back to the day we got kidnapped. 

It was a sunny blue day and me, David and Ellie ( * previous name for Ally) were out on an evening stroll. We walked to the park when all of a sudden we were attacked. I was hit hard on the back of the head and fell unconscious. Only to wake up in a cold dark room next to David. 

We found out that the kidnapper was David's former employee who had been fired for creating havoc in the office. Mathew Cadwell and his wife Melissa Cadwell held us captive in what seemed to be their basement or attic. That was the last time in years i had been able to see the sun light. 

Mathew walked  in holding a knife and from there the torture began.
