CHAPTER 6: Liam came into the room two short hours later. "I made you guys a better, safer room." He told us. He then tied our hands and led us out of the room. Our old room was located down a long narrow hallway. There were rooms through the hallway. Some had no noises, and others had screams and even crying coming from them. Our new room was definitely better and safer. It had blue colored walls, two queen sized beds, a desk, and a dresser. There was a separate room for the bathroom. On the dresser where two fancy dresses. He led us inside and closed the door behind him. He untied us and when untying me, his hands lingered on mine. "Sorry about that. I didn't want you to get lost." He smiled at me and pointed at the dresses. "You will wear these in two days. There will be a special banquet." I picked up the first dress. It was a black A-line, illusion topped dress. The other was a pink version of the same thing. "what size are you guys. I want to make sure that they fit." I looked at the tag, a medium. "This one will fit me." I told him. He smiled. Carroll checked the tag, she frowned. "This one is too big for me. I need a small." Liam nodded, and took the dress from her. "I'll be right back with the correct size, then You need to try them on." He left and closed the door behind him. Carroll gave me a weird look. "What?" I asked putting the dress down. "What do you think this banquet is for? Do you think they're celebrating capturing us?" She asked. What was this banquet for? "I don't know, but we have to find a way to escape before then."

CHAPTER 5: I grab the phone and dial 911. The phone rings, once... twice... three times... "Hello, what's your emergency?" A woman answers. I feel a rush of hope. "We need help. He captured us, we're trapped. Please." There is a long pause. "Hello? Is anyone there?" why couldn't she hear me? "Please, you need to..." The phone cuts out. "No. No, no, no. Please god." I give the phone back to Carroll. I'll just have to figure something else out. The nail, what could I use that for? Carroll places her hand on my shoulder. "We'll get out of here. I promise." At least she was hopeful.

CHAPTER 4: I poke my fingers out the hole. Yesterday, I found a nail outside the hole. I find the nail, it is bent slightly so it is facing me. I grab it with my thumb and pointer finger. I start to pull, it wiggles and a feel a stinging pain. I cover my mouth as I bring my fingers back from the hole. The skin on my pointer finger is gone, exposing red muscle covered in blood. My hand shakes as I rip a piece of my shirt and tie it around the wound. Once the wound is covered, I put my hand over my mouth again and begin to cry. I can hear footsteps come to my small room. I wipe my eyes and cover the hole again. The door opens and Liam (the boy) comes inside. He has a girl in his arms. He sets her down and comes closer to me. I try to hide my finger, but he grabs my wrist. "My dear, what happened, did the walls cut you? I'll get you a better room in a little bit." I nod and he smiles. "Oh, yes. This is Carroll, she's your new companion. I didn't want you to be lonely." The girl is fast asleep on the floor. He leans in and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "I'll address your wound in a short while." He stands up and leaves me with Carroll. THREE DAYS LATER: Carroll finally wakes up. I watch her as she tries the door once. "It's locked." I tell her. She doesn't listen, and continues to try the door. I shake my head and try again for the nail outside. The past three days, I've been able to free it a little bit. "Today is the day, it will finally come all the way loose." I think to myself. I grab the nail once again and tug. It comes out and I bring it back into the room. Carroll sits and cries in the corner. I walk up to her. "Hey, do you have anything on you?" She looks up at me and nods. "I have a phone, he didn't take it."

CHAPTER 3: Present day The memory of that day circles through my head. I can still remember all of what happened. My phone in my hands taunts me. The battery long dead, I was so close to getting out of here. "We just have to hope that someone is looking for me." I tell myself. I go back to the hole. I look through it and see a fence right outside. I can hear footsteps coming to the door. I quickly hide my phone in my secret pocket, and place my coat on the floor, so that it hides the hole. The door opens and the boy comes inside. He has a smile on his face and has a tray in his hand. He places the tray on the ground, there is food on that tray, and walks closer to me. I flinch as he grabs my hair in his hand gently. He strokes my face. "You are so pretty, did you know that?" He whispers in my ear. My hands shake as I nod. He pats my on the head and stands up. "Eat up. I don't want my favorite girl to go to waste. You seem lonely, I'll give you a friend." He blows me a kiss before closing the door behind him.

CHAPTER 2: Two weeks earlier. I smell the fresh baked pastries as I walk home from school. The store clerk nods at me as I pass. I smile and wave. These long summer days fill me with a sense of hope. Hope that I will finally be free of school, well I won't have to wait that long. I have 2 short weeks until school end this year, then I have just one year left. I walk along a secluded road to get home. There are rarely any people on this road, so I take out my phone and begin to read. I can hear a car come up behind me, but it shouldn't stop. People on this road don't really like to talk to others. I hear the car running, but it never passes me. It shouldn't stop for me, it should just go past, maybe the driver is looking for something. I hear the driver door open. Maybe the driver dropped something and is going to get it. I decide that I should help them, you know be nice. I put my phone in a secret pocket in my coat and tun around.The driver, a boy about my age with dark hair, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, stands just feet away. He's checking the back of his car. Maybe he already found what he was searching for. To be sure I walk up to him. "Hello, sir. May I help you?" He turns to look at me. He stares at me for a while, then without another word goes back to what he was doing. Maybe I was annoying him. I should go. I turn to leave, but he grabs my arm. I try to get him off of me, but he covers my mouth with a rag. The smell is so bad. I begin to fade away. I feel the darkness surround me and I welcome it. My limbs go limp and I black out.

CHAPTER 1: the lights make buzzing noises overhead, the only sound that is heard over the sounds of my heart beating. I breath out a sigh as I try the door once again. Locked, just like the other 200 times I've tried. I can feel tears in my eyes now, but blink them away. "I will get out of here!" I tell my self. I almost believe it, until I look around the small, white room. The walls are bare except for the red stains that trickle down to the floor. I spot something shinning from the corner of my eye. I walk to a corner, there's a hole in the wall. It's just big enough for me to place two fingers through. It's not a lot, but I feel a great swell of hope. This could be my only reach to the outside world.
