3 days. Its been 3 brutal days since I have been taken captive by James. My face was swollen from beatings. My lips cracked from lack of water and my stomach in pain from lack of food. My poor baby, I haven't had food or water in 3 days. The only thing that keeps me hopeful is feeling my baby kick. I was freezing, he has left me in only.my bra and under wear. During the day him and Bethany would come and torment me.

From putting cigarettes out on me to hitting me until I passed out. Then they would leave me for the rest of the night. I cried every night and screamed for help but no one came. From the looks of it we were in the middle of no where since I heard no cars besides theirs when they came and left. I figured out we were in an abandoned house.

I was chained around one ankle and I had a dirty mattress and that was it. I begged every night someone would find me. I know everyone was looking for me. I couldn't be far from home. Its weird they haven't been here all day. I drifted off and finally cried myself to sleep.

I was woken up by the door slamming open and James stumbling in. He held a bottle of vodka in his hand. He looked at me and pulled the chair he had me in next to the bed.

"You know" he said while taking a drag of his cigarette and blowing the smoke in my face. "I'm getting bored of Bethany but I dont know how to break it to her. She is a good fuck but nothing more to me." He said chuckling to himself. He got up and sat next to me on the bed. I started feeling sick. "Take a sip." He said handing me the bottle of vodka.

"No." I cried and he smacked me hard I fell back against the bed. He straddled on top of me and held my mouth open and pour the liquor down my throat. It burned and I  threw up. He rolled over and laughed. I kept coughing and gagging.

"Maybe if you would just listen then things would be easier." He slurred his words. And then the plan popped in my head.

"I'm sorry I've been so difficult." I said wiping my mouth. "The hormones get to me." I laughed. He laughed to and put his hand on my lap. Can I have another drink?" I asked.

"I knew you would come around." He smiled and handed me the bottle. I smiled and took the bottle. I sat myself up and then swung the bottle as hard as I could over his head. He screamed and fell over. I kicked him in the balls and he grunted while grabbing his disgusting junk. I stood up instantly getting dizzy grabbed the chair and him him with it until it broke. He was out cold. I dropped to my knees in disbelief of what just happened. I quickly gathered myself and went through his pockets and found a set of keys. I found the key that fit and unlocked the chain from my ankle. I put the chain around his ankle and kicked him once again and spit on him.

I ran out the door hit by the cold air. It felt beautiful. I got into his car trying to start it but it would start. I tried over and over. "You piece of shit!!!!" I screamed hitting my hands on the wheels. So I got out and ran. I ran as fast as I could holding my belly to support it. I ran through the woods and finally slowed down to catch my breathe. I leaned up against a tree for support and started to throw up.

Once I was finished I got up walking until I found my way out. I finally came to an opening leading to a highway. no cars were driving which means it was very late at night possibly morning. I limped down the highway until I came across a sign showing that there was a gas station coming up. I walked down the high way ramp that lead me to a town road. I limped down the sidewalk. I could see the gas station and my heart started to race.

I dont know how I was still going. Maybe the left over adrenaline I had but I finally made it to the gas station. I limped in with tears falling down my face. An old man stared at me. "Ma'am are you alright? What happened?" He started walking towards me. I just kept staring forward I couldn't say a word. "My son is going to call the police, you are alright." the man said. And thats when I felt something warm running down my legs. It was blood, I was bleeding. I looked at the man and told him I was pregnant. he screamed at his son for help and thats when I was over come with darkness.

I would wake up and drift off. I remember being in the ambulance and them saying I was going into shock. They kept trying to ask me my name but I couldn't speak. I mumbled that my mom was a doctor at a hospital and thats all I could say. I drifted off again. Then I woke up again to the nurse speaking with someone and they came in. I had my eyes closed but I could hear them doing something. And then I heard that wonderful sound. My baby's heartbeat. They said my baby was ok and healthy. I wanted to jump for joy but I couldn't. My baby was ok, I was ok. I made it.
