Hidden

Chapter 1

It's jet black and dangerously spine chilling. Being forced to squeeze in this minuscule place is not delightful not mentioning the fact that I'm claustrophobic right now. My lips are tremendously chapped so the duck tape isn't helping them right now, when it gets forced off rapidly, I will probably be excruciating in pain. Not looking forward to that. Suddenly I jerk back, we've come to a stop.

* 5 days earlier *

"When Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939, France and Britain declared war on Germany. After conquering Poland, Germany attacked France. France fell in June 1940, and soon the Nazis overran most of the rest of Europe and North Africa."
"Thanks Ashlyn, for your quick summary of what happened at World War 2"
I snatch a smile at that pesky teacher and slump back down into my cold seat. History is my last period of school, and today is the last day of school, next year I get to attend college, if I want to.
As my chin is in the palm of my hands I shift over to the clock, a little more than a minute till History is over.
DRIIIINNGGG!!!!
Finally! No more school until a season. I position my school bag on my shoulder and head out the death trap. It's a warm beautiful day, the sun is still brightly up. I scurry to the bus stop so I don't have to walk home that far today.
The bus arrives and I expose myself to the bully packed vehicle, sitting at the very back.
Once I arrive in my house, I run straight to my room, and lay on my bed, starring at my celing.

I hear a knock on my door and come to see that it is my dad.
I haven seem him in ages. My mom kicked him out because of a reason that she said she would tell me when I grow up.
I unlock the door and open it, while shaking.
The first thing he does is hug me, I intoxicate the large amount of cologne and embrace him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Your mom said I could come back"
"Really?"
He hesitates
"Yes Ashlyn, would I ever lie to you? Now where's your brother?"
"Dad, he went to college 4 years ago and is becoming a doctor"
"Oh, we'll good for him"
I question the fact that mom let him come but I just guess that she's forgiven him by now.
"Lyn, I need some rest, I'll be back in a bit" he kisses the top of my forehead and scurries to my moms room shutting the door behind him.
I call my dearest friend Gwen.
"Hey Gwen guess what? My dad came home!"
"Really?"
"Yea, pretty nerve racking right?"
"Yea"
12 minutes later of rambling
"Omg I'm so hungry, I'm gonna go get a snack, we'll bye!"
We both hang up at the same time.
As I'm walking to the kitchen my moms room door busts open. "So your hungry? Wanna go eat something?"
"Sure I guess"
"Okay and I'm going to a surprise place kinda far away"
"Okay that's fine"
We head out the door, I sit in the front and my dad comes in last.
"Okay you ready?"
"Yea"
"Okay let's go" he said with a little too much excitement.
***
We pull up to an old kind of abandoned place but I have been taught to never judge a book by it's cover
My dad pushes me in with his hands on my shoulders.
"Uhh dad, what is the place? Nobody is here"
He says "just keep going"
I follow his commands because I don't want him to make a fuss.
As I'm going up some stairs I get jerked back hitting my head and back on the railing.
"Are you okay?!"
I'm pretty dizzy and nauseous but I spit out a yes
Then in a millisecond as I'm thinking of why I got jerked back, my dad forces his hands over my mouth and and puts his body over mine, holding me down.
I muffle out as loud as I can but soon I realize not to.
I'm breathing heavily and kicking my feet to try and get him off but he's way too strong compared to me.
Is this why my mom kicked him out?
