The Stalker

Chapter 9

I thought he would put me in the back, but he didn't. I got to sit in the front sit. Then it dawned on me that he couldn't put me in the trunk without that guy seeing. It took like five minutes to get home. The whole time I was scared. I was scared of what he was going to do.

When we got back to the house, Casey wasn't in the garden. I assumed she was inside. Drew took me to our room and thankfully Casey was there. He went out and locked the door. I looked at Casey and I could tell she had been crying... Then I noticed the red hand mark on her face.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" I asked with great worry.

"What do you think?" She answered like I was clueless,"He told me since you were new I had to watch you. When he found out you ran away, he blamed me for not stopping you. So he smacked me and locked me in here."

"I. Am. So. Sorry." I almost started crying,"If I knew this would've happen I would have never done it. I won't let you get hurt again. I just wanted to get us out of this place.."

"NO! Don't go there. I told you there was no way out. Don't you think I tried? Do you think I just forgot my family and my old life? Well I would do anything to go back. I told you. You would regret it. You haven't got the worst part yet!" Casey started balling.

"Please. Please tell me what he is going to do so I can be prepared!" I hugged her tight and continued talking. "I really am sorry."

"Well I can't say exactly what he will do... But I do know he treats you like he would a daughter. He might beat you, but never kill you, on your first punishment. I have had three, and they just get worse. He beats you harder and harder every time." She explained and stopped crying so hard.

BAM! The door swung open and Drew picked me up and carried me out. He took me to the basement. He sat me down and started hitting me. He kicked, smacked, and beat me with a belt. I started crying. He didn't beat me for a long time, but it felt like forever.

"STOP CRYING! You got what you deserved. Why would you hurt Casey like that? All that has happened has been YOUR FAULT.!" Drew screamed.

"You did that to Casey, not me. I ran away! Why did you have to hurt her? She tried to stop me, but it didn't work." I said with all the air I had left in my lungs.

"I did what I had to. End of discussion," He said while taking me back upstairs.

He locked me back in the room with Casey. She was sitting there staring at the wall. She was still crying. I was going to ask what was wrong, but I decided not to. My side and legs were hurting from the beating.

I heard Drew yell at us and told us to put on our pajamas. I asked Casey about dinner... But she said nothing. I just put my pjs on and curled up into bed. I miss sleeping with my dog so much. I wonder if my parents slept with her. She hated to be alone. I started thinking about Will. I wonder if he knew I was gone. Did he care? I miss Alicia. I should have went into the bathroom. But wait.. Then would she have been taken to? Never mind, I am glad it was just me. Ugh. I hate thinking. Especially at this time. I can't think about anything happy. It makes my stomach hurt. I want my life back. I started crying... And I cried myself to sleep.
