"Lyla, why is there blood on your towel?"

I looked up to see my Momma holding the towel Jody wiped her face with.

"Umm.. I fell down and got a wound. It hurt really badly and it started bleeding," I lied.

"Can I see?" she asked.

I looked away. "It's, uh.. It's cured. I fell down a long time ago," I lied, again.

"If your towel is dirty, bring it to me immediately, okay?" she smiled. "Don't keep it for a long time and make me worry."

"Okay, Momma," I smiled back. She went to the laundry room to wash my towel.

I went to my room to get my books for homework.

When I was inside, the door was suddenly shut closed.

I got goosebumps there for a second. When I walked towards it, I heard a click. The door was locked.

"Jody!" I screamed. "Open this door!"

I banged on the door really loudly. "Momma, help!"

I tried to unlock it, but the lock didn't move. Not even a little bit.

"Momma!"

I leaned against the door, tired. I didn't want to stay in this room. I was scared I was going to be locked up forever.

"Jody!" I screamed in frustration.

That was the last thing I remember before everything went black.
