(Eli’s P.O.V.)

I woke up at 4 a.m. gasping and sweating.  I had a terrible nightmare that was recurring to my past:

(FLASHBACK)

I was walking home, at age 12, and this white van pulled up next to me. ‘Hey kid, come here’ I heard the voice echo in my mind ‘what’s your name?’ ‘E-e-eli M-monroe, sir’ I stuttered, frightened. ‘What is a handsome young man like yourself walking home, alone, doing with no one watching you?’ The man said in a low tone. ‘I am just walking home from my friend’s house.’ ‘Oh well you shouldn’t be doing that, there are kidnappers out there, why don’t you hop in my van, I will take you home’ the man said with a smile that could make anyone shit their pants instantly. But my stupid self, hopped in the van and he drove off.  ‘That was a horrible mistake, young man; you got a world of hell coming your way.’ I started screaming, but my screams only faded. He started driving into a forest, and then he slammed the breaks and looked at me, evilly.  Suddenly he attacked me; put a dirty, greasy, blindfold on my eyes so I couldn’t see where he was taking me. I screamed and shouted until he shoved something in my mouth, a foul taste went around my mouth, and I avoided putting my tongue on the object. The car stopped and his voice said in an old man tone ‘we’re home.’ He bend over my lap and opened the door, then shoved me, I fell nearly 5 feet to the ground.  I was lying on dirt, trying to move, but the old man grabbed me and started dragging me.  When he finally took the blindfold off of me, we were in a cellar, I was surrounded my other boys who looked like zombies.  They were chained up to the wall, had torn clothes, and were as skinny as hell.  He shoved me to the ground and chained me up next to a boy, who later I found out his name was Derrek. The man said ‘I will be back after I am done with the girls, don’t miss me too much.’ Then left.  ‘Hey’ I heard a weak voice said from besides me, it was Derrek. I was freaking out by now, I was crying hysterically. ‘Hey’ I sobbed ‘I’m sorry you have to deal with this guy, he is horrible, just don’t fight or it will hurt more.’ He said weakly ‘How long have you been in here?’ ‘4 months’ he replied ‘What does this guy…do?’ I asked is a scared tone.  He waited a minute before answering ‘He does it all, we all have different things to do at different times like… sex trafficking, molestation, raping, porn pictures, he abuses us, he doesn’t let us sleep, he barley feeds us, he keeps us locked up in here, rarely letting us use the bathroom, because the last guy that went to the bathroom…killed himself.’ When he said that, I cried even more. ‘…and the girls, they get fluffy pillows and food, all he does to them is rape and sex traffic them, they got it good.’  ‘WHO THE HELL IS TALKING IN HERE!’ the man who kidnapped me yelled and came in drunker than before ‘YOU! YOUR TURN!’ he yelled while pointing at me.  He took me off of the shackles and pulled off my pants and…and started raping me…

I couldn’t go back to sleep with all of this on my mind, so I got up, sobbing quietly, so I decided to go to the showers.  When I was about to leave the cabin, something was shining in the moonlight through the window.  It was in Andy’s slightly opened backpack, my old friend: the razor blade. I grabbed it and left to the showers.

I turned on the sink water and pulled up my sleeves “God I am such a hypocrite” I whispered to myself.  I began to make the first cut on my wrist, it felt so good.  I did it over and over again, I was crying by now, bleeding. I heard the door slam open and then screaming:

“Eli are you in here?!” that voice, I know that voice…it was Andy. 

(Andy’s P.O.V.)

I woke up slightly and I saw that Eli was up, he was in my backpack…then he grabbed my razor blade, he was crying.  Before I could do anything about it, he was gone.  I got out of bed quickly and put on my shoes, then started running after him.  He went to the showers.  I heard the water running so I pushed the door open quickly.
