The hollow

Chapter 23

I didn't notice the small bar window at the very top of the room until it was morning. The small speck of light shined in my eyes waking me. The events from last night took over my brain making me remember where I was and who brought me. I looked at Layla and Steven who were both sound a sleep and sighed leaning against the wall my jacket wrapped tightly around me. "She's awake"I heard someone say. My heart beat quickened and I ran over to Steven and Layla. "Guys, guys wake up" I whispered shaking them. They both scrambled up to their feet. "They said she's awake I think their coming for me" I shrieked. Layla's eyes widened. "What do we do?" She asked frantically. "I don't know!" I said looking around the room and just then the door opened. I stepped backwards looking at the tall man until I was pressed against the wall.

The man walked up to me and then grabbed my wrist and hoisting my body over his shoulder. I screamed and screamed and punched his back trying anything but no, soon we were out of the room and the door closed behind us I could hear Layla and Steven yelling at banging on the medal door behind us as we walked up the stairs. He threw me onto the ground in a separate room that sent a shock of pain through my body. The room looked a lot like the pictures of the room where Tess was captured there was only one thing missing, the blood. Was I about to be tortured? The door closed and soon I was left alone.

How long has it been? Two days maybe, two days since I have been trapped in this room. One person came in yesterday chaining me to a medal pole and I have been stuck here no food no water no nothing. All I could think about was Layla and Steven. Where they ok? Tess went through what I was going through and it pained me I wasn't their to help her. "Please give me some water" I croaked. There was no answer and I sighed leaning against the wall on my knees, "please" I pleaded. Soon the door opened and a water bottle was thrown into the room and then closed again. I sighed with relief and scrambled over to where the water bottle was and reached for it, the chain wasn't long enough I couldn't get it. I screamed at the top of my lungs until my throat was left burning and crawled into a ball crying, soon the door opened again and this time it was James.
