Aria

I heard a noise coming from outside.I got up and went there.Absolutely nothing - at least that was what I thought.

A person with a mask appeared in my way.I jumped and my pulsation went faster.I runned and it runned after me.I runned to the woods, runned and runned, until I couldn't breathe.I stopped and leaned against a tree.Whoever it was, it left me.

Arms grabbed my waist.I looked to my back, scared.The person held me stronger.I tried to punch, kick, nudge and all the things that Jake teatched me, everything to escape, but my tiny body wasn't enough to stop it because a napkin was pressed against my mouth and my nose.The last thing I did before my body got soft and I fell into the person's arms, was scream.

I open my eyes and look around.All dark.My hands find a flashlight in a corner and I turn it on.I'm in a hayloft, probably.A very dirty and small hayloft.Lots of dust cover the walls.I start moving violently, try to scream, but my mouth is covered.

Suddenly, the door opens and the masked person appears.I hear a laugh.

"Oh, look who woke up!" it's a woman. "You won't escape by yourself.Who will save you, little bitch?" she teases.

I finally uncover my mouth, throwing whatever was there away.

"Leave me alone, your slut." I answer.

"This doesn't scare me.You bitches already called me that." she laughs. "But who will save you?Your little Ezra?Poor Aria, doesn't even know what is going on.I can destroy him, too."

My heart almost stops with the thought.

"Don't you dare." I say, filled with anger.

"Oh, honey...poor of you." the woman says. "We have a deal.You don't scream, and I will not have to kill someone."

The door is closed and whoever it was, it's gone.I control the tears.Why me?I quietly pray.

But I won't give up.I will get out of here, and that bitch will pay.At least that's what I hope.
