Dear Diary,As I turned around I saw a dark shadow move from one hallway to the next. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was just standing there, in the middle of the room, desperate for a way out. As I backed up into the corner of the room, a hand tightly wrapped around my mouth. As I kicked and screamed for help I felt a needle inject into my arm. Each time I let out a deadly scream, I began to lose more and more energy, until I just gave up.
As tears rolled down my cheek, I was being dragged, but I couldn't figure out where to. I was being pulled far away from the castle. Far away from my friends and family. Far away from my sweet godmother who I couldn't live without. My eyes rolled behind my head and I was out like a candle.
I woke up, and I could feel the lumps and bumps of the road beneath me. This person—shadow— well whatever it was, it was taking me somewhere, but I was helpless, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk, I couldn't speak, I couldn't do anything. I didn't try to escape, because my eyes were covered, my hands were tied behind my back, my mouth was duct-aped, and my legs were tied together, and I knew there was not much hope for me. I wouldn't be surprised if no one noticed I was missing. No one cares anyways, I thought. As I laid in the back of the truck all tied up, I fell back to sleep again.
I was awoken by the smell of fresh blood. This time I was in a sitting position, and I began to panic. I had no clue what was going on around me, and all I could think of was someone extracting blood from me. I kicked my feet as hard as I could, to move the chair somewhere, but that somewhere was a place I never imagined falling into. Immediately after, I heard a loud sound. It sounded like door opening. I stopped because I thought that someone, or something was there to torture me again. As I heard the door slam shut. I started to move the chair again, but this time I heard a voice. An unknown voice, from the corner of the room where I heard the door opening, screamed,"NOOOO." As I began to panic I quickly moved the chair faster and faster forwards.
I felt a body trying to fiddle with the ropes tying my hands together. I'm not sure why, but I moved the chair faster and faster with every breath I took. The world began to move in slow motion. The tip of the chair bumped up against a metal and the ropes began to untie themselves, my blindfold came off and all I saw was a black hole. I screamed as I drifted down the hole. I heard screams from above. My body felt like I was floating on air. As I drifted downwards I was waiting to plummet to my death.
As I was falling I began to think of my mother. The one I wished I would have seen before falling into that dark hole. She was the reason I was still alive. If it wasn't for her, I would have killed myself a really long time ago. When I was about 10 years old I became suicidal. I would cut my skin just for fun, and I would do things that could hurt me because it felt good. It used to ease my pain away. There was no one to ever talk me out of it. I always wished that I had friends to talk to about my life with, but my father never let me have any friends, nor leave the castle. At that time a state of depression had completely taken over my life. I stopped cutting myself when I was about 12 years old.
The only reason I did this is because, one day I was so angry I cut a really deep hole into my arm, and when I went to sleep that night I saw my mother in my dreams. She gently pulled my arm and examined the scars, that hadn't healed as yet. She then talked to me, and I truly felt her presence. The dream felt so real, it was like I was talking to her right before my very eyes. I asked her so many questions, but some she preferred not to answer. I told her all the stories she missed out on. But the funny thing is I remembered every single bit of the dream. It was like each time I thought about it I was reliving the dream over and over and over again. I remember when I got up from my sleep, I was panting like I had a bad dream. It was like a beautiful nightmare. That was the reason I stopped cutting myself, but I knew that if my mother was here that part of my life would have never even been a thought.
I know she was there spiritually, but it would have been the world to me if she was here physically. As I was diving into the bottom of the hole it began to get clearer and clearer as I got closer. As I saw the bottom of the hole I tried to put my feet below me so I could have a safe landing, but instead I landed on my face, and that left a scar only my face but in my heart.
THUMP! My body flung against the hard concrete of the dark hole. I then realized the hole was more of a bunker than it was a hole. I felt around to see how big the bunker was, but it was just as big to fit a couple more people there was a room that had 2 beds, and bathroom, and that was pretty much it. So there I sat, at the bottom of the bunker creeped up in the corner with my head on my knees. I began to cry. It was already bad I basically didn't have a father, but it was even more depressing that I was stuck at the bottom of a bunker with no place to go. Has no one at the castle realize that I am gone. Finally I was deserted all by myself with no one to bother me. That is what I wanted all along, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
