A/N: i wonder if you guys like the cliffhangers i give you. :) Here's a chapter1 I feel like it's long but enjoy!

*Quote Twenty-Eight: Bad things just keep happening, over and over again.

“Psst.” Claire whispers.

“I’m awake.” I say.

“Okay, I have the ladder, let’s get out of here.”

Claire takes the ladder to near the window.

I actually might get out of this alive! I was preparing my last words.

Claire walks up the ladder and opens the window.

“Come on.” She whispers.

She jumps out and I follow.

I jump off, so close to freedom, then just as my feet barely touch the ground I felt myself being pulled back up.

“Damn it!”

There I was, staring into my mother’s hateful stare.

“Nice try. Now, this comes with consequences.”

Before I know it, I’m back in the secret place again.

I was this close to living.

“Trying to sneak out huh?” Akirei raises her eyebrows laughing like there’s no tomorrow. “You really shouldn’t have done that Claire.”

Claire’s eyes twitch with fear.

“Now, you made me have to do this.” Akirei says taking out her gun and shooting her in the head.

“No!” I exasperate in pain.

She falls backwards and topples on the ground.

I fall down, curl into a ball, and sob.

“Why?” I cry. “Why- how- would you do something like this?”

“Oh, shut-up before I shoot you too.”

I sob louder.

Sam, don’t you see? I’m not worth saving. It’s over for me.

Bad things just keep happening, over and over again. When is the light going to shine through? When is the good going to overshadow the bad?

Who’s ever up there, I could really use another blessing.

“How are you feeling Sam-Sam?”

“Don’t call me that and you know how I’m feeling because you put me through that pain!”

“No need to get all aggressive. I’m just calling to let you know that every two days, we will get a hostage. And today is your lucky day!” Rebecca says through the phone.

Oh no… who did she capture? I hope it’s not Serena or Bianca.

“Who did you kidnap?” I ask with anticipation.

“Oh, I don’t tell you that much. If I were you, I would hurry…” She says with her voice trailing off before the line cuts.

I scratch my head.

Stay tight Taylor. I’m coming for you.

I reach over my nightstand to get the package.

It takes a lot to hide it from my mom.

I dig in the package and reach for the tape recorder.

I click on the play button and wait.
