My mother slapped my hands as I tried to steal a cherry from the top of me brother's birthday cake and we both laughed.
"Hurry up and come outside" my father called at us and we both walked outside with the cake and matches to light the candles.
My brother smiled as he saw us approaching with his cake.

"I can't believe you're 14 already" I told him.
He giggled and we all stood around the cake and sang for him.

All smiles. Nothing but happiness.

My mother looked at me while my brother blew out this candles, took my hand and said, " It's time to wake up now"

I flinched as I woke up with my hand being caressed and a raspy voice telling me it's time to wake up. 
Remembering where I was and what happened to me I hastily pulled my hand away and again tried to move away from the man beside me.

"I know you're afraid right now, but you have to understand I'm not going to hurt you" he said.

"Then why am I shackled? And in my underwear? Why did you buy me from those people that's been pumping drugs in me from the day the KIDNAPPED ME!" I screamed back with a new found anger.

"I said I wasn't going to hurt you and that's the truth but someone else might! Be nice to me though and i won't let that happen..." he said calmly.

What did that even mean?

"Be nice to you? " I asked my lips trembling....

"You took me away from my family" I cried.

He sighed. "Oh well" he said and left abruptly.

I was confused but to sad to care.

A few moments after I heard footsteps approaching again only this time I saw women feet walking down the steps instantly sparking some hope in me.

She stopped at the bottom of the stairs an the lights came on.

I sheiled my eyes as they adjusted to the bright lights after being in darkness for so long.

She was an Asian woman, probably in her 30's dressed in what looked like a nurse's attire.
She put down the tray of food she was carrying beside me and released me from my shackles and to my disappointment, exited through the door at the top of the stairs so quickly I didn't even get to speak to her.

Hopefully next time I guess.

I rubbed my wrist and for the first time since the lights came on I acknowledged the rest of the room.
There was a bed with a clock above it, a bathroom with an adjacent toilet & even a table with as few books.

Looks like I'm expected to make myself at home.

I shoved the stupid tray away and tried to stand up but my feet were weak so I had to use the wall for support as I walked to the bed.
The sound of the door opening again made me jump and I quickly turned around to see who it was.
It was the same woman again. She returned with a towel and clothes this time.

I wasn't going to let her just leave this time though.

"Please tell me what's going to happen to me" I pleaded with her.

"I only give you instructions and now I instruct you to shower and change into these clothes by 6." She said handing me the clothes and towel and pointing to the clock. "And also you eat because you need your energy" she added before swiftly turning around and leaving again.

I felt so frustrated, I laughed.

Calming down I sat on the bed and closed my eyes tears once again escaping them. No part of me wanted to do as I was instructed because I knew... I just knew nothing good was going to come when 6 arrived.
