What category to put this story in? Action, not really. Humour, hardly. Romance, not quite.

A category is the theme of the story. Then, where is the love category? Not a specific kind of love, like romance. The kind of love that someone has been deprived from for years and needs help finding again. The type that is brought about by family and friends, not a lover. 

Being kidnapped and held at ransom is bad enough. The only thing worse is when your own parents don't pay for your release. 

The next thing to happen is obvious. You're captors kick you out. After all, what's the point of holding someone for ransom when no one is willing to pay for them?

Now Vanessa is homeless and unaware of the environment around her. She'll try everything she can to survive in a world, that has been nothing but cruel to her.
