Get Out Alive...

Dinner With The Hubby

I finish packing in my items, my shirts and pants and undergarments all in one dresser and my accessories and hair products and such on and into my desk. I look at myself in the mirror and noticed my mascara has run and I look like a raccoon. I CANNOT look like this when I meet the "man of my dreams" I quickly wash it off and apply a fresh new coat. Much better.

I walk around my room getting bored and restless. Maybe I'll go down early. I go to the door and try to open it, it's locked from the outside. I begin to panic I try again I push and turn the knob, I turn the knob the other way then, click, it opens. Well that's a relief. I look around and down the hallway, no ones up here. I walk down the hallway looking at the pictures on the walls, most of them are scenery, one of them is a picture of  a young girl walking down towards a pond full of lily pads, another is a fat cat, and then there's a strange looking one of teenage girl crying, dark shadows surrounding her. Creepy.

I walk over to one of the room doors. Maybe there's another girl in there waiting to meet her hubby. I knock the door softly. No answer. I knock again and place my ear on the door and listen. I hear a little shuffling around. Someone's in there. I knock one last time then the door opens ajar.

"What do you want." A raspy voice of girl says.

"Oh I'm new here and I was wondering maybe I could just talk or-" She cuts me off

"Go away, get away from here! You need to get out here right away!" She says in a screamed whisper.

"Don't end up like me! They torture you, kill you, do whatever they can to get what they want! If you get away now you won't end up like me! Go before it's too late!" She says then closes the door.

I can heart my heart racing, my breathing rate has increased, I'm panicking. I quickly get back to my room.I try to open the door but it's locked, MY KEY! I quickly search my pockets and find it. I almost had a heart attack. No one can know what I did when it happened or if I even got out. I shove the key in the door. Wrong away. I flip the key the opposite way turn it, then run inside my room closing the door quickly behind me. My back to the door I slowly slide down in sitting position, I can still hear my heart racing.

Get out? Why? Was I right? About everything they do? Torture, kill, take away, am I going to die? The thought scares me. Why am I even alive? Why am I a part of this stupid thing?

I almost have a heart attack when someone softly knocks on my door. I quickly open it, Madam Cordellia. Does she know what I have done? Does she know I talked to some woman in a room saying I was going to die and that I should escape?

"Darling! Are you alright? You look like you've just seen a ghost." She says.

"I'm fine I just was resting and when you knocked it scared me that's all ha ha." I say, my voice quivering a little.

"Oh, well dinner is almost done so I came to get you come on." She says, leading me to the elevator. I want to resist and run away. Get away from this awful place, but I follow her obediently.

We get into the fancy elevator and go down, floor after floor, until it stops and the doors open to a large, well decored hallway. Fancy vases on little tables, and large paintings line the walls. Madam Cordellia leads me towards large double doors and opens them, inside is a room, a very large mahogany table with more than twenty chairs sits around it. I look and see her and I are the only ones in here. I look towards her.

"Oh don't worry, you know the saying ladies first, your hubby will be here shortly, you sit tight while I go get him." She says, walking back through the large doors closing them behind her. Alone again. I look around the room, it's very elegant, a large chandelier dangles from the ceiling. I walk over to the table. I'm not quite sure where to sit, so i just pick one towards the end. The table cloth is very thick and an off-white color. There are no plates set up so I can't play with any silverware while I wait. I slowly tap my fingers on the table, imagining I was playing the piano back home, whenever I play it, I feel like I'm in a whole other world. It's so peaceful and quite and I am always with  a man, but I never see his face. Then sometimes when I play this one song "Close Your Eyes" By Christopher Beck, I always see these two faces, they look so happy a woman who likes like me and a man who has my eyes. I feel like they were my parents. In a dream I had once which still haunts me I was with them, then everything went darker and they were crying and from where I was watching I felt like i was moving away from them, then they started crying and trying to run towards me. I wanted to run back to them, but then they were killed by two men in black suites. I woke up crying sometimes screaming, because every time feels like it really happened. I never told anyone about it though, because if I did I feel like I was revealing something. I just want to know how I even ended up here in this awful place of Generals and such.
