He hit me...he hit me for the third time now. This time, with his fist in my gut. David pulled me up and punched me right in the stomach, causing me to fall back and cry out. I've been laying on the floor since, crying and begging for help. He went somewhere...I don't know where. Somewhere outside to get something. I hear footsteps, hoping it's Ethan or someone I knew but it was him. David. The door opens roughly as he swings it open, he steps in the house with a rope, great. I look at him between the strands of my hair. Tears streaming down my cheeks as I try to breathe softly. He walks over to me with a smirk, "I'm going to tie you up and you will never escape. While I eat and then nap, you will be tied up. Waiting for the help that will not come!" He says, grabbing me by my arm, swinging me up as I cry out. I just want someone, someone to come rescue me. Sure enough they know something has happened by now.

David finished tying me up to an old, wooden chair sitting in the middle of a different room. It has one window and that's it. Nothing else in this room. How does this guy even live here with nothing? I cry softly as he gets duct tape, "You won't be disturbing my nap." He says, cutting off enough, getting close and putting it over my mouth. I watch him with a glare, moving around, trying to get the rope to loosen but I can't. David grins and laughs that deep, evil laugh as he walks to the door of the room. It's an old, torn up door with a missing knob. He slams it shut as it makes me jump. Looking around for something, something to help me escape, thoughts and ideas running through my head, I don't have an idea. What the hell am I supposed to do? I don't have any weapon to cut this rope off. I cry out quietly and listen has his footsteps walk away from the door. I'm assuming he's going to eat and then nap like he said. So, if I were to try anything it would have to wait. I turn my head and look towards the window, wishing for someone to come by and see me or my family finally rescuing me. Of course the thought of never getting out of here kept coming back in my mind no matter how hard I tried to fight it off.

I hear David burp and throw what sounds like a can or something on the floor. After, he slumps down on a cot or whatever he had in there to sleep on. I've been trying to shake free somehow or make this rope loosen. I was thinking of smashing the window and get a shard of glass to try to cut this rope, but I knew it would wake him up. I was losing hope already...

It feels like forever that passes as prom is over or about to end. I waited to make sure he was asleep, when he started snoring I knew it was time to try and attempt something. Even if it meant me waking him up on accident and him hurting me. I shake and shake in the chair, it wobbles and the rope rubs against my wrists. It hurts but if I get away, if I have a chance...it'll be worth it. I cry out quietly as I feel so lost and scared, my body is weak as I don't know how I will do this but I will try my best.

After trying for minutes, what felt like forever, I finally got somewhere! Maybe I have a chance! I wobbled the chair back and fourth and it broke! It broke and I fell, causing the rope to loosen so all I had to do was slide out. I'm surprised he didn't hear it when the wood went falling on the floor but I'm glad he did. I'm taking the rope off now, but quietly because the floors creak with every move I make. When the rope is all the way off, I take the type off my mouth as it hurt, but it wasn't the worst thing right now. I look around, thinking if I should escape out of the window or not. I walk over to it, it had a lock on it but can easily be unlocked. I go to unlock it and it makes a clicking sound so I pause, making sure he didn't hear. He snores again and I sigh in relief. I go to slide the window open, thinking if I escape, he will try and hunt me down again...what will I do? I think and think, trying to shake the thoughts because he doesn't know me or where I live. I start to climb out of the window, looking around and staying as quiet as I can.

I made it! I made it out of that stupid shack. But, I'm still here. I'm still where he can get up any second, see that I'm gone and come out to get me. I look around, trying to remember what direction he brought me from. Closing my eyes I think and think...finally remembering we came from one of the sides of the house. I'm in the back...I start to carefully walk over to the side he dragged me from. Looking in windows to make sure he isn't awake. While looking in one of the windows, I trip..."Shit!" I thought to myself. I tripped over a gardening rakes, it fell and hit a large metal roofing laying on the ground, I go to scream out but cover my mouth. I knew I just blew it...it's over.
