Dear diary,
I'm scared to go out. Father has beaten me and locked me up in this room. Which room is it? It's so dark here but hopefully I have a lamp with me. I am scared of darkness. Father knows it but still,he has shut the windows. I can't see the outside. Is it night or morning? I don't know. I have been here for...how long? Hours? Minutes? But it feels like years.
Father has never beaten me. But today when I wanted to go into the forest,he did. I am more shocked than hurt. Cause he has never ever beaten me. And oh,the forest,the forest in front of our house. I don't know what happened but lately I am feeling an urge to go there,in the forest. It feels like I will die if I don't. I have to go there. I have to. I hope mother and Josh would help me.
-Emily
