Sophia continued where she left off when she woke up the next morning in a dirty room with blood stains all over the room. Even the ceiling and broken old rusting chains, obviously used for the captives before her, had dried up blood stains. Sophia woke up terrified in the room with only one hanging light working and started crying when she heard a noise and the other girl slowly walked into the light. According to Sophia, the girl was a head taller than her with shoulder-length black hair and lightning blue eyes. The girl was super skinny to the point of seeing bones, her clothes were tattered and just as dirty as the room and covered in blood.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj0e8uinTa
“I thought at first that she was a ghost and cried a lot.” Sophia’s eyes glossed over as if reliving the experience. I was about to get up to ask for a box of tissues when she glanced over at me and stopped me. “Please don’t. I need to tell you this in one sitting for her and have the kidnapper stopped.” There was a lengthy pause as she braced herself to continue and this time with tears slowly trailing down her cheek. “She didn’t move for a long time as she just let me cry. I fell asleep at some point and when I woke up again two guys were there to give us our food.” There was an even longer silence. Sophia had stopped crying and had a puzzled look again.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPyjSHTeAQ
“You remembered something,” I state. She nodded.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhLbhSSjyU
“When I woke up the two guys had a food cart with our food on top and the rest of the cart was covered by this thick bulky red curtain and they’ve never used that cart for the rest of the time I was held captive.”576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPAJDKFCBF
“The lower shelf of the cart must have contained the body of someone else from inside that room,” I said voicing her thoughts. Sophia nodded with a frown as she realized the significance of the red cart. “Please continue more about the girl,” I said, bringing her out of her daze and trying to change the subject from the two guys. 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5BdsP9kJO
“Okay. Well, the girl was always so good to me and everyone else as they all arrived later on.”576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxwnRMHMuS
“She was the caring figure to everyone in the room.” She didn’t even hesitate to snap her eyes up at me with a scowl reading into my statement.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dPfqIy4S0
“Yes, but not in the way you are implying. She would share out most of her food with everyone else and give out her blanket to anyone that needed it that night. Yea it may seem like a nice act to you, but every nice thing she did came at a cost to her.”576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsXqKP1DHk
“Of course she would have less energy than the rest of everyone else in the room and she could gain all of your trust to…”576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6SdBcDZdN
“The cost is having her body ripped apart!” The tension in the room rose as Sophia stands up out of her chair breathing heavily. After a moment, Sophia calmed down enough to pick up her chair and sit back down. She rubbed her forehead as she responded back quieter. “Before the other girls came, she and I switched around the place a lot, waking up in new rooms, each room being better than the last.” Sophia’s kidnapping was a big deal when it happened and according to a news report on the kidnapping at the time Sophia’s parents used up close to a quarter of a million dollars trying to find her; therefore, the kidnapper must have moved her around often to avoid having her found. “The more times we moved to nicer rooms the more I noticed wounds she would have. I don’t think any of the girls noticed, but every time we got something nicer or a new privilege she would get sicker.” The kidnapper definitely treats this girl unlike all the rest of the girls and hopefully, this girl will get better so I can figure out why. 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyRBOH8Taf
