The Chase for Shane

meeting billy

"Kacey are you ready to leave baby girl?" Curtis says calmly while my friends and i quickly grab the doorknob to hold it closed. Of coarse when i was about 5 my mom took my doorknob off and switched it to one that doesn't lock because during hide and go seek i would lock myself in my closet so i couldn't be found. I thought it was better than under my bed all the time but i guess it was "cheating". Snapping me back to focus was the crack of what sounded like glass. Pushing shaniah out the way to see what was going on outside the door. Curtis broke my laptop screen and was slamming down his boots on the keyboard. "Kacey you are definitely gonna need a new laptop" whispers Hannah. Shaniah and I look at her with a stupid look not even being able to force a smile. i swear my friends sometimes. Looking back through the crack in the door peering out a Curtis I see him going through my room but looking past him i see that my bedroom door is wide open.

Trying to formulate a plan in my head i quickly tell shaniah and Hannah to listen closely to instructions and they can get out to go for help. Finally i whisper to them on my signal run! Hannah tries to argue if I'm coming with but cutting her off i scream out "come get me then dumb ass!" Curtis then bursts open the door and i signal my friends to run for help. Shaniah went on one side of him and Hannah on the other with my knife in my hand standing right in front of Curtis i think back to what my dad always told me. "hold it straight baby girl, stab hand , and run!" my dads words flash in my head. I take a long deep breath hold out the sharp knife i knew so well as i tried to inch around the side of Curtis.

The alarm down stairs then goes off. Now knowing my friends are safe relaxes me a little. "They are going for help your going to jail you piece of shit!" I get out when Curtis jumps for my knees and throws me over his shoulder when i stab him as hard as i can in the back. 

Curtis loosening his grip because of the pain that it running through his body i jump away from him and head down the stairs. Thinking back to when i was beat before i ran across the street to get help and the lady slammed the door in my face saying my high school drama isn't her problem so i skip the front door and go straight for the back so i can cut across the backyard to someones house.

"You little bitch!' is all i heard from my room then i see Curtis making his way out my bedroom down the stairs. Thinking fast i get through the living room into the dining room when Curtis reaches the bottom of the stairs. Into the kitchen and to the door.

Click..click click..LOCKED! 

BAM! Curtis slams me against the backdoor and duct tapes my hands behind my back. Screaming as loud as i can between breaths i can hear police sirens now about 3 miles away.

Then my daddy's words cross my mind "If a guy ever is touching you or hurting you hit him as hard as you can in the family jewels and run!" I count down slowly in my head 3..2..1! I kick my leg back as hard as i can but miss. Again 3..2...1! but while my foot hits he grabs my leg and makes me fall straight forward on the ground. Gasping for air. PINCH..PAIN..SIRENS..lights out.

Next thing i know I'm in a dark room. Duct taped to a chair so i cant move and my eyes are heavy. What had happened to me? Moving my head slowly to the left of me is a small storm window letting me know I'm in a basement. Outside is bright and pretty. It looks about noon. How long was i out? Why did i not remember what happened? Thoughts fly through my head til i hear a noise from above me.

The noise sounds like a voice..a familiar voice..almost like a family member.

The door to the basement opened and all i could see from where i was sitting was a shadow I'm the light what looked as a man from the body structure. The person turned and locked the door behind him. Why was he locking the door? Was he scared?

The sound of each step getting closer made me flinch knowing someone was here and the thoughts they could be thinking might be like the ones Curtis has put through them not them thinking on their own.

As the shadow stepped in front of me it was Curtis's son. I remember him from small get togethers on Christmas and turkey day. His name is Billy. Billy always scared me a little knowing he has been to prison so we never really talked. Billy is about 6' foot tall and has no hair.

Billy then comes closer as i try to get away he quickly grabs the back where my hands are duct tapes and picks me up and puts me face down on the bed sitting in the room next to us. Then noticing i only have on a big shirt and underwear from where me and my friends were having our sleep over before Curtis cam home.

Billy then unwraps my hands and starts wrapping them again. What was he doing to me? Why? This time the wrap was looser. not loose enough to get out though. Then billy leans in really close to my face like he wants my face for his afternoon snack and whispers Kacey if u want help bear with me and scream as loud as you can.

Fallowing his instructions i start to try and scream over the tape in my mouth. When billy then yells shut up you dumb bitch and smacks something that sounded like skin.

Then i heard Curtis's voice from upstairs yelling leave the whore be billy she is mine. Billy then looks at me and says i will be back for you to save you. Grabbing something before i can get anything out stabs it into me.

The last thing i saw was a light at the other side of the basement light up and a Shadow come out.

"Who are.." as my voice faded out.
