"Ms. Eden? Ms. Eden, come on wake up." The voices drown out the pounding in my head. I sit up in my bed located in this cult. "Hello, Ms. Eden." An officer says. There are two police officers in the room and that's it. "I am Detective, Robert. I am here to ask some questions about your abduction." He smiled at me warmly, and I returned the favor. "Would you be up for questioning right now?" He asks politely. I nod my head and get comfortable. "Can Liam be present as well? Excuse my breach of ettiquite" I side smile and sit up politely. "Of course."

(25 minutes later)

"So tell me about your mother." Jesus, it feels like I've been in here forever. "Well.." I pause as a tear falls down my cheek. Liam is quick to hug me and reassure me that I am safe. "Well she was a drug addict. She left me thinking that she didn't want me anymore. Personally, I think it was because she couldn't handle her own children after my father's death." I finish and out of the corner of my eye I can see Liam's eyes watering and him looking at our interlocked hands.

"Go on."

"After she left," I pause again tightening my grip in Liam's, "She got a man to sexually harass me. He didn't get far after my brothers took care of him."

"And what do you mean take care of him." The officer interrogates, suspiciously. "Send him to jail. His name was Alex Gueiterrez." I exclaim clenching my jaw.

"You do realize the man we got the other day, your abductor." He continued, "His name was Alex Gueiterrez." Just those 5 words caused me to break down. It's crazy how much damage words can do to a person.

As im having my mental breakdown, Liam comforts me and the officers squirm in their chairs. "Would you like to continue?" The other officer standing by the door questions. I shake my head burrowing into Liam's chest. "Okay well we must carry on our ways." He holds the door and who walks in catches me off guard. "H-Harrison Osterfield? W-what're you doing here?" I say, mouth agape. "What do you mean? Your brothers never told you? You're my baby sister." I cannot believe this. Harrison Osterfield is my sibling?!? You know sometimes I really wish I was a normal human being.

(In my story Harri doesn't have a sister so uh yeah.Oh and if you don't know who he is...Then you must have been living under a rock. Look him up along with Tom Holland. 😍)
