I jump up and point the gun at Josh. He just smiles unimpressed.

   "Let me go." I say, my voice is shaking and not as strong as I hoped. He comes closer and I step back.

   "Oh princess, that's really cute." He comes even closer and my back meets the wall as I try to keep the distance to the adult. Josh smirks in triumph, before he comes even closer so just my arm with the gun is between us.

   Quicker than I can look he grabs the gun with his left hand and pushes my arm with his right hand away. Now he has the gun and he puts it in the back of his pants.

   "Nice try, darling. Yet not good enough." He grabs me by my hair again and pulls me to the bed, but then suddenly tumbles backwards.

   Dot jumped hissing at him and lands now in front of me. I lean on the bed, half on the floor, my breath is going fast. Josh gets the gun and points it at Dot. I jump immediately over and lean myself over her so the cat is completely blocked away from Josh.

   "No, please." I say with a whimper, trying to stop the tears. He grabs me again at my hair and pulls me away, pointing the gun again at my cat, that's still hissing, but not moving as if she knew it could end badly.

   "Please! I will never try anything again! Just let her live." Now the tears are falling again. With an angry look on his face he squats in front of me. Because my gaze is at the ground, he pulls my head up by putting the estuary of the gun under my chin and pushing it up. Now I'm kind of forced to look him in the face.

   "When I let her live, how will you learn? You said this the last time too and what have you done? You pointed my own gun at me." The last sentence he says with a amused giggle. "If I let it go again, you won't learn." He takes the gun away and I let my head fall down again.

   "Please." I plead quiet, exhausted, scared, weak. Now Josh lifts my head up by grabbing my cheeks with his left hand, in the right hand still the gun.

   "Be happy I wanna sleep before we have to leave. That's the last time I spare your fucking cat. ... But you gonna get punished." With this he slams the handle plate of the gun across my face. I hit the ground and taste a metallic flavour in my mouth. With hair sticking to my lips I push myself up so I'm on my arms. I look at the ground and don't see the kick coming. Josh kicks me right in the stomach so I collapse and cough.

   "I hope you learned your lesson this time, even though I think it's not enough punishment. Not. At. All." Again he grabs me by my hair. He's draging me over the floor and throws me next to the bed. Josh goes to his bag and grabs something I can't really see thanks to the tears.

   A few seconds later he lifts up my left hand and puts something around my wrist. Handcuffs. The other one goes around the metal frame of the bed. Without saying anything he leaves the bedroom to go to the bathroom. I push myself up and pull my knees as close to my body as possible. I wrap my right arm around them and lay my head between them. That's the first time I really cry since those heartless people took me.

   I cry about my family, who's probably worried to death. I cry about Sophia, who got killed. I cry about the injurys I got from Josh. I cry about my life that got taken away from me for who knows what reasons.

I stopped crying as Josh kicked the back of my head as he went to bed to sleep, but I didn't sleep. Not a second. I just stared at the dirty white wall, asking myself what my parents are doing right now. What are Sophias parents doing?

   "Get up!" Josh commands after he took away the handcuffs. I do what he said and stand up shaking. My legs feel like pudding as I stay there in this motel room. "Go and change the bloody clothes, but hurry. I put some clothes next to the shower. We are going in ten minutes, I don't care if you're ready or not." he says in the so familiar annoyed voice. I nod and walk to the bathroom, Dot is following me and gives me mental support.

I'm ready eight minutes later. Tyler and Jenna are here. The woman comes to me as soon as she sees me. She hugs me tight, but backs off as I breathe in sharp. Now she just has her hands on my shoulders and looks apologizing at me.

   "You comin'?" Tyler asks and leaves. Jenna takes my hand and pulls me with her, Dot on my heels.
