"What is it?" I feel something lay flat in my hand and it's cold, like steel. The sun is still in my eyes, and while not being used to it, I immediately get a headache. "I can't see anything" I hear him gasp and he takes me by the hand and leads me somewhere else in the house. I hear his footsteps in front of me, while mine is silent. A few minutes pass and I smell something different this time, food. I open my eyes finally and I see a bracelet in my hand, it has my name on it. "This is gorgeous, thank you" He smiles at the comment and I see where in the kitchen, I look around and I see the table set for two. He looks over at what I'm looking at, "Oh! I made you something to eat, just in case you were hungry, I know it's stressful and new and this might not be what you had in mind and want but-" He drops his head and looks down at the floor. "It's okay and I appreciate it" I try to look sincere to him but find myself trying to think of plans to get out. Do I want to risk it all and make a break for the door? What if I stay and I work up the trust between us and get him to let me out all the time. He looks up at me and smiles and starts to put the dinner he made on the table, dividing it into plates. It looks and smells so good; real, hot food. I can't do it, I have to leave. Now. I look over and frying pans are hanging near the cabinets, I reach over and grab one and hold it behind me and try to position myself so that he can't see it right away. " I figured we could have a nice dinner and then maybe have a few drinks to talk and see where it goes from there, What do youth-" ***CLANG**** I swing the frying pan over the back of his head before he can utter another word and take off to find the front door. The house never seems to end and before I know it I find myself in another living room like it's a double fucking house!! Running around frantically before he gets up an idea sparks in my head- The window- I find the nearest window and yank the blinds off as I hear a crash coming from somewhere in the house, he's up and coming. I try pulling up the window and tear a fingernail off after realizing they are locked, I start to tear up; This is the end of me. I should've just stayed until he trusted me. I turn to hide somewhere and I see a beautiful vase on the table behind me, I pick it up to look at it and hurl it towards the window **SMASH** It breaks into a thousand pieces and puts a crack in the window, just big enough for me to put my elbow through it. After the window is broken I climb out and I feel a sharp sting, but the only thing I feel is the sun on my skin and the grass at my feet as I'm running. The wind running through my hair and breathing it in was the greatest victory out of this all. I realize I'm still running as I hear a booming voice calling my name from behind me. "KELLLYYYYYYY!!!!" I look back only for a split second to see he's running at me with something in his hands. In that amount of time, of looking back at him I hit the ground, and my body burns and hurts. I fell and frantically try to get up- "KELLLLYYYYY WE CAN DO THIS THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY" I look back at him and see he's gaining on me, I turn my head to look around maybe to hide someplace and see a huge patch of woods just a few feet in front of me, my legs won't move and he's gaining on me. I throw my feet one in front of another and push myself to keep going. I can't go back, not to the basement. Or he could kill me. Running barefoot in the woods makes it a lot worse to keep from falling and hurting yourself. I run to a huge tree trunk in front of me and duck down trying to catch my breath and listen for him. Nothing, I don't hear a single peep. I peer my head around the trunk and see him standing not a few feet away from me but looking in a different direction, I'm assuming looking for me. I jerk my head back around and throw my hands over my mouth as I can hear him calling my name and pray to God that he doesn't kill me. *Snap* A branch, he's right on the other side of me. I turn my body and peek my eyes out and see him looking at the ground for footprints and finally get a look at what he has in his hands. It's a fucking gun. He's going to hunt and shoot me like an animal! Scaring myself I get up and take off not caring if he hears me, I can't go back; I'd rather be dead. I hear him calling my name again and again and I can hear him say something from where he's at but I don't care, I'm not stopping. I speed up and I can feel the glorification of this finally being over, nothing is standing in my way now. After running for another few minutes I look up and see there's a clearing into what looks like another one of his fields of land. I don't care I'll walk back to town if I have to, or even the next town so he doesn't find me. I'm going home. My legs hear that and use it as more fuel and I take off in a sprint back to my life when I hear a stomach-turning sound ****SNAP*** all I feel is my leg give out and I crash onto the forest floor in agony. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I turned my body to see that my ankle had been caught in a bear trap. "NO!!!!" Red thick blood has emerged and started to cover my foot. "KELLY WHERE ARE YOU!" This is the end, he's getting closer and he's going to shoot me. I've lived the hell you call my life and this is how I go, by him. Tears start to uncontrollably fall from my eyes and I can feel my ankle trying to move but it only hurts worse and more blood drips out of my wound. I sit and just cry for a few minutes and then feel a slight burning pain in my arm. I wipe the tears with the back of my good hand and look up to see him standing there and he's pointing his gun at me. " Please, please do.......don't shoot me" Why can't I talk? I can hear myself slur like I've been drunk when I look down at my arm and see something sticking out from it. Barely being able to raise my arm, I yank it out of me and look at it. I can hear the twigs snapping and leaves crunching from his weight and I look up at him dropping whatever was in my arm. "What have you done?" He looks down at me and he looks mad. "I-i-i-i'm sorry, please don't hurt--" My body goes numb and I fall on my back so that I'm seeing the sky and trees. It's so beautiful. Then he steps into my view and locks eyes with me. "It's a tranquilizer Kelly, you're going to sleep". My vision goes blurry as I hear half of what he says and I try to fight it. He leans down and cradles my face with his hand while running the other hand through my messy hair. " I would never hurt you, Kelly, I love you.'' No, He's never going to let me go now. I close my eyes and I can feel a few more hot tears fall as my world fades to black once again.
