Lily POV

I laid on the semi comfortable mattress reading one of the several books that were provided for us. But my mind kept drifting back to maya, how she's doing; what she's doing. Is she getting plenty to eat.

Whatever she's doing it has to be bad because ever since maya started disappearing our conditions have gotten better. Everyday I'm aloud to spend an hour with Emma. It's not much but it's something.

The sound of the latch on the door opening startled us. I stood up ready for what's to come as Emily and Evelyn cowered behind me.

Maya came in with a blank look on her face. Her clothes were all worn and bloody and she had bags under her eyes. What did they do to her.

"Oh maya!" I almost sobbed as I engulfed her in a hug. She didn't hug back she just stood still. "Come on let's get you showered"


After cleaning her up I dressed her in a white T-shirt and some sweats. I sat her down on a stool brushing her long brown hair.

"Maya, what's wrong?" I asked in a small voice. I wasn't going to ask if she's okay because she's clearly not.

"Where are my old clothes?" She asked randomly.

"The trash can, I didn't think you'd want them back they're filthy" I pointed in the direction of the garbage.

Third person

Maya walking over to the trash can to retrieve the hunting knife. Lily was confused as to what she was doing. Maya then took a deep breath before hitting lily on the side of the head with the bottom of her hunting knife effectively knocking her out.

Emily and Evelyn exploded into screams as they tried escaping maya.

"Please don't hurt us!" Emily sobbed.

"Why are you doing this!" Evelyn protectively covered her growing belly. Maya looked down at Evelyn's stomach feeling a pang of guilt. She shook it off knocking out Emily the same way she did lily.

Maya knocked down Evelyn before lightly straddling her.

"Please! Stop! Help! Somebody!" Evelyn tried fighting off maya but it was no use maya had pinned down Evelyn's hands.

She held the knife to Evelyn's neck before leaning down.

"They're watching, play dead" Evelyn was momentarily confused. She felt warm blood being poured onto her neck but she felt no pain. Maya had cut her hand making it look like she had slit Evelyn's throat.

Evelyn was confused and scared as she laid there with her eyes closed. What was maya doing, Evelyn thought to herself.

Maya POV

There was blood everywhere, good. Makes it harder to tell that she's fake dead.

As I rolled her body in a rug I gave her instructions.

"Stay completely still" I whispered. "When you get out side, run. Find somebody, anybody and ask them for their phone. Do not go to the police, you will call one of the guys and tell them where you are. Here's a knife to protect yourself, be safe" I discreetly slid the hunting knife into the rug before leaving the room.

Hopefully this worked, her getting out is our last hope.
