When I was only four years old a very terrible thing happened to me. No matter how hard I tried to fight it, the monster never went away. Years went by and I was never saved. With nobody to talk to, I could figure just about anything out.
My name is Amberlynn Brasher. My mother and father, Lisa and Matthew, had me when they were only seventeen. I'm at the age of eighteen right now. I have counted everyday that I have been in the room I now call home. I was taken by a faceless man. I have no idea where I am or what the people want with me. Nobody has harmed me. Except when I tried to escape.
I have been in the same brick building for fourteen years. Nobody has came and nobody leaves.
I will escape, find him and get my revenge.
Only one person stands in her way. A girl that has secrets just like Amberlynn.
