Hollow

Chapter 3 Don't Close Your Eyes

The walls in this room are sufficating. No comfort, no light, and no touching others.

There is a click on the other side of the room. And I see light. I think someone is here to take us home. But, it's just a man with a wicked smile on his mouth.

He carries 2 bowls, setting them in the center of the room. On of them is filled with raw meat, while the other is filled with brown looking water.

Nobody makes a move to go to the meat or nasty water. We are stiff in the corners we now possess.

The man looks at Jupitar, who is glaring at him. Her glare is worse than being killed by a poisonous snake. She could kill grown men with that glare.

His grin grows and I hooe he isn't going to hurt her. As he walks towards her I scream.

"Leave her alone!"

He turns slowly towards me. Grin faltering, and takes fast steps. Grabs me by my arm hauling me up without letting me help myself.

He takes a key and unlocks my ankle chains. I cry out as he drags me from the room.

I won't tell you what he does to me outside of the room before he drags me back in.

I am crying. Can't breathe. Can't stand the horror of what he has done to me. I can't here anything until...

"Everly! Everly what did he do to you. I will kill him!" It's Mattew who brings me back to reality.

My body starts to shake and I hyperventilate. The thungs he did to me, they were inhumane.

I huddle into my corner and hug my knees to my chest. I won't sleep tonight. I won't even close my eyes. Not because of the pain in between my legs.

No its because of the fear. The fear that he will come back in. With his blonde hair and his toothy grin. I can't sleep tonight.

Because I have to make a plan. A plan to escape. A plan to kill that man. A plan to save myself.

A plan to kill anyone who hurts my friends, the way my parents hurt me. But, this is worse. I have been raped, i have been taken from my horrible life only to find it is getting worse.

I would rather be at home right now. Being shoved against the door and spit in my face for being late. I would rather be beat up at school because I won't give the answers from the homework the night before.

I would rather die than let anything happen to my friends. My family.

I will make a plan. And I will kill them. So, I will not close my eyes for one second until my friends are safe.

I promise.
