Taliyah

Taking in deep breaths, I counted down the minutes remaining before I escape this treacherous place. In the back of my mind I imagine of what it would be like to have a family. To have people who love me within their heart and not lust within their eyes, not  the way they seek pleasure in my screams. Having a family would be a dream come true.

I lay still listening to the silence that surrounded me. It was time for me to be free. Taking one last deep breath I quietly tip toed to me room/cell door.  Cracking it open slightly, I peeped through seeing the heartless monster passed out on the floor. Perfect timing my plan was on it's course.

I quietly squeezed myself through the crack holding my breath, praying to the god above that he is passed out drunk like every other day and this is not a sick joke. As I slowly passed by him I could take the storm smell of alcohol fill me nose. Never in my life have I been happy to smell alcohol on him because for the first time it was coming to my advantage.

Once I turned the corner I made a run for it, cause I know any minute now the maids would come upstairs to get him clean up. My heart pounded in my chest I could feel sweat trickle down my forehead. I know that it wasn't because of my running but because of fear.

Upon arriving at the stairs my worst nightmare awaited me, two of Alfonso's stood at the bottom as guards. Tears welled in my eyes, how could I be so stupid! Of course he wouldn't let all his workers drink. What was I going to do! Think Taliyah! While I mentally argued with myself on of the guard saw me at the corner of his eyes.

Once he realized what I was trying to do he came full speed telling me to come here. NO NO NO.... I couldn't go back. I burst into a run going wherever my feet would take me to try and escape these two guards. Arriving at the end of the hall there was no where to go . I could hear the footsteps of the guards and they were nearly approaching.....I had to think fast

In the corner they had a small table with a window above it. With no other options I did the unthinkable.This was my on escape ,hopefully my fall is not that high... I climbed onto the table and slammed myself on the window. Glass shattered everywhere as I plummeted to the ground. I fell on my back, the pain coursed through me like a wave.... I could feel small pieces of glass pierce through my skin.

Waiting about 2 minutes so that the pain can subside, I slowly got up... using a lot of my energy to fight through the throbbing pain in my back. Holding my tiny frame I started walking in the cool night. Despite all the pain,happiness consumed me as I was finally free, out of my captivity. I had no where to go, no food to eat, no clothes to wear but I was free.

I would think about these issues later because right now I just enjoyed something I was deprived of so many years ago. The cool breeze and the beautiful night sky with its glowing stars. Closing my eyes I took this beautiful peace in.

My moment was shortly spent as I heard someone shout my name. Turning around I saw the same two guards coming my way with the deadliest glares on their faces. Bursting into a run I tried to think of a plan to get theses guards of my tail. I couldn't think of anything. My heart constricted at the thought of me going back after I reached so far. I wouldn't be able to handle my punishment, it would be too much.

They continued to shout my name telling me that they were coming nearer. I had to do something! Oh god please help me I'm begging. Lost in my thought I didn't see that I was running across a street. Turning to the side I see a car coming for me. It was too late...before I could do anything the car hit me like a rocket.

I can crashing to the ground.... the pain was unbearable. Staying still so I don't feel the pain so much ....I see through my blurred vision that the guards back away. What! When am I dying that when you don't want me so pathetic. Slowly I breathed in and out even though it felt like with each breath I was being stabbed in the chest. Looking up I saw the beautiful night sky once again and I was at peace.

It was ok that was dying at least I died after seeing this beautiful image. My eyes became heavy and I slowly closed them with a smile on my face. Something I haven't done in a long time. Darkness.
