CH.1
It seems like it was only yesterday when I was at home hanging out in my living room at home waiting for my parents to come home. I was bored as usual flipping through channels trying to find something worth watching when my phone started buzzing on the coffee table. It was a text from my best friend Ezekiel. He hated his name so everyone just called him Zeke.
“Hey Amelia want to go to the movies nothing’s on TV” the text said. He seemed to always know when I wanted to get away from home. I dialed his number as I hurried up to my room to change.
“Be here in 10 I’m changing now” I said when he picked up on the second ring.
“Why in such a hurry did you get in trouble or something?” Zeke asked.
“No smart aleck now shut up and get over here” I said hanging up. I walked over to my closet and grabbed the first thing I saw. I got my favorite hoodie and my black messenger bag. Heading back down stairs I heard the horn of Zeke’s car outside as he pulled up to my house. The front door creaked a bit as he came in knowing he was welcome.
“So what do you want to go see?” Zeke asked. “I’ll pay but it better not be a chick flick” he added.
“I don’t know we’ll see when we get there and if you buy the movie tickets then we are stopping on the way for food and I’m buying” I said.
“Cool you pick the movie I pick the food” Zeke said. “Let’s go I left the car running.”
“It’s not my fault you were dumb enough to leave it running but alright I’m coming” I said. I followed him out to his red mustang convertible and hopped in the passenger’s seat. “So where do you want to eat” I added.
“I have a place in mind but it’s like an hour away so you may want something to hold you over.” He answered. “I think I have some chocolate or something in the glove box”
“Don’t mind if I do” I said. “You know I can’t resist chocolate” I dug around in the glove box until I found a package of Rollo chocolates. They were my favorite candy and he knew it which was probably why he had them. I ate a few and put them back so I didn’t spoil my dinner and sat back against the seat of the car. Twenty minutes later I began to feel weird. “Uh Zeke exactly how old was that chocolate I don’t feel so good.”
“Oh it’s fine Amelia just sit back and relax don’t worry about it take a nap and it’ll pass” Zeke said. He was acting a little weird and I couldn’t tell but he sounded like he was on the verge of laughter.
“What is so funny” I asked. My words came out garbled and I knew something was wrong. “Zeke” I said. “Something is wrong I don’t feel good you need to take me home or to the hospital or something.”
“It’s going to be fine Amelia don’t fight it just go to sleep and don’t worry about a thing ok” Zeke said. I couldn’t resist the urge to close my eyes any longer and I passed out. When I woke up the car was coming to halt in front of a massive brick mansion.
“W…where are we” I said. “Zeke what was up with that chocolate and why are we at this mansion.”
He never answered either question. He dragged me from the car and into the house. He led me up several flights of stairs before shoving me into a room and locking the door tightly as he left. I have been in this place for three months and every day is the same. My ‘best friend’ will come and get me and ask me a bunch of bizarre questions and when I can’t answer them he will yell at me about hiding information, take me back this dingy old room and lock me in for the night until the next day. It is usually around noon when he comes to get me. I’m pretty sure it’s around that time now so he should be here soon.
“Amelia come on it’s time for our daily talk” speak of the devil Ezekiel just entered the room. I refuse to call him by his full name after what he has done. “Come on maybe today we’ll make some kind of progress today” he says.
“Fat chance” I grumble. “I still have no idea what you keep babbling about so you may as well just give up.”
“Look Amelia I keep telling you these lies aren’t going to get you anywhere” Ezekiel says irritated already. This is going to be one of the days when he hits me I could tell already. “Now let’s go on down to the basement so we can get this over with.”
