"Alice, where are you? You little thing you're always off hiding somewhere!" Luke my captor hollered from the basement. I sighed hearing his voice rip through the house. He had moved me upstairs into the actual house when the basement had made me really sick. Though he never failed to tell me that he would still kill my family and lock me in the basement to die if I ever tried to leave or get help for myself.
"I'm upstairs....honey!" I screamed back still having to shudder to get the word out of my throat, I hated saying honey to him, but I had no choice, if I didn't he would kill my family.
"Oh good cause you know what time it is, don't you?" He said climbing the stairs that lead to my room. As he stood in the doorway to my room I immediately felt my stomach drop and I knew that he was going to rape me again. It was like clockwork every day before work every day after work and every night before bed.
"No, Luke please stay away I don't wanna do it, I don't like it. Please Luke please I will give anything please?" I screamed as he grabbed my legs and pulled them open, I just closed my eyes and grabbed the bed as he ripped my underwear off and unzipped his pants, at that point all I could think about was why did I trust him in the first place. I had found a way to get me out of the time period mentally, but not physically. I went into little daydreams about my family and my life before all of this happened, replaying my life always trying to do it differently, but it never worked.
During my daydream I felt something hit me hard and fast on the head, bouncing me back into reality, the one place I would give anything to get away from. "Get up and get dressed I need you to go to the store and buy food for the house!" He screamed at me while he got his pants back on and went to take a shower.
"Okay, can I have the card?" I asked in a small tone like the girl I used to be from outside the bathroom door. He trusted me with this as long as I was very quick and got the right things for the house.
"Yes, it's on the dining room table go quick and get back here! Don't talk to anyone if I find out you do you know what happens!" He screamed from the shower to get his point across.
"Okay." I said and got the card , then walked to the store about two miles down the road. When I walked in I was in a hurry to get what I needed and get back to the house before the time limit he set in his mind, but didn't tell me, he always had to have something to hit me over. I found all of what I needed and was rushing to the counter to check out so I could hurry home.
Right when I turned the corner I ran into a boy not much older than me and I dropped all my stuff, including the list with my address on it, "Oh my god I am so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I said as I tried picking up the stuff I had dropped, but the boy stopped me and grabbed my hand, then with his other hand he lifted my chin up to look straight in his eyes.
"Hey, don't worry it was my fault for being in the way of such a beautiful girl such as you." He said as he randomly hugged me and without even knowing it I started crying, because this was the first time anyone had given me any kind of affection in three years.
"Hey, why are you crying did I hurt you?" He asked pushing me slightly off his shoulder to look at my face. I looked up at his gorgeous face for the first time and I smiled through my tears.
"No, no you didn't do anything, but I have to go I um have to get home, and uh make dinner." I said quickly wiping away the tears and gathering up my stuff again, and then I went and I checked out. There was no line at the counter so it was easy for me to check out and hurry through the door, but I didn't make it the door because, when I was leaving the boy came up behind me turned me around, and he kissed me.
"Please don't go I want to get to know you better." He said and all I did was pull away not noticing that I still hadn't picked up the list from the floor, and that he had picked it up. I hadn't even looked down at his hand to know. I was in such a hurry to get home so I wasn't beat harder than I was already gonna be.
