The Set Date

8-30-14

Lillian's POV

1:22 am

I blinked many times to try to make my eyesight better. It was blurry and my head hurt really bad. After awhile I could see clear. I looked around and saw two flat pillows and a blanket in the corner. There was a skinny little Megan sleeping on it too. She looked so peaceful but her black hair was messy and out of her bun.

I looked to the side near the door of this plain room. I saw four dog bowls. Two with water and two with food. "Hello." I heard Megan say as she lifted herself up.

"Where am I?" She asked squinting.

"I have no idea, last thing I remember is being thrown into a-" I was cutoff by Megan saying, " We were kidnapped. "

I told her we shouldn't have left the house. I knew something bad was going to happen. I started pacing around the room until I felt a sharp pain in my ankle. "Wowie." I yelled as I sat down rubbing my ankle.

I held in my breath so my cheeks puffed out. I examined my ankle and it was swollen and purple. "Fuck this hurts." I exclaimed.

"I remember us going to the old house down the street and my foot went through the stairs." Megan told me while she kept thinking of more things.

I wish she didnt have her own small land. Maybe, somebody would have heard us when we called for help. Megan had her own land from which she had bought from her neighbors. I snapped my fingers remembering something. "Mr. Coleman came and threatened to kill us if we didnt get in the car." I mentioned.

She nodded remembering. "Well then what happened to my leg?" She asked me as she pulled up the bottom of her pants (that were now ripped) to reveal a few kind of deep scratches.

"I had to get your foot out of the stairs somehow." I answered shrugging.

"Hey, look out that window." Megan commanded me as she pointed at a very small rectangular window in the door.

I slowly walked to the door and looked through. I saw a door that looked simliar to ours with the same slim window. There was a pair of eyes looking right back at me. "There are other people too." I told Megan.

Then, a man came up to their door and unlocked it. He pulled out one girl and her hazel eyes looked terrifyed. "No!" She screamed sobbing.

It sounded like she was far away from me. "Shut up!" The man yelled at her as he slapped her which left a dark red imprint of his hand on her cheek.

Her eyes fixed on mine mouthing something like 'get out'. She was leaning backwards trying to get as far away from him. I got a good look at the man and he looked strong and he was wearing all black and wore a ski mask. He also had a belt and that held a pocket knife, a hand gun, a whip, and pepper spray.

Her face was stained with her tears and she was yelling wishing that somebody would help. "Im sorry." I mouthed to her through the window.

I didnt know what was going to happen but I knew it wasnt good.

She grabbed the mans arm and slammed him down to the floor and she started to make a run for it. But he tripped her and she fell face foward. He turned her on her back and she put her arms in front of her trying to protect herself. Another slap came to her face. Then, he kept hitting her legs where the rips were. When he was done, there were bruises. She looked down to see them. I wanted to break down this door between us to help her. Why was he doing this to her. Why was this happening to any of us. I grabbed for the handle of the doot but there was none. Only way to get out is if somebody let you. "STOP!" She yelled holding her face. He lifted her up by her hair and pinned her against the wall. She started trying to kick him but it just made her move which made her hair get pulled even more. "Silly." Is all he said.

The man pulled out a whip and started whipping her back with it and after a few of those he punched her in the stomach. Her shirt was ripped in the back and you could see the deep marks the whip made. She doubled over and he told her , "Today is your set date.".

I couldnt hear him I just watched his mouth. Did I see him right? What was a set date? "Please no." She begged.

He soon grabbed her arm and dragged her away. "OWH PLEASE!" She screamed in pain from her back being on the floor. That would have stung so bad. She got pulled away so I couldnt see her anymore. Now what was left was the tan walls and flooring and the door infront of me. There was also some blood on the wall.

"What is happening?" Megan asked starting to panic as she started hiting the wall.

"Let us out!" She yelled.

"WHAT HAVE WE DONE WRONG?" She screamed as she continued hitting the wall.

"Stop." I told her trying to pull her arms back.

She slumped against the wall her lips in a pout as she let out quiet cries. "What is going to happen to us, Lillian?" She asked curling up into a ball hoping to hide her face.

"I dont know."
