You stare out the window at the world outside, the lush green trees, the flowers beginning to bloom for spring, and the grass you have not touched for so long. The cult members walk through the mountain hideaway they call home, dressed in their long yellow robes and living inside small cottages. They all look so happy, and you wonder if any of them even know about you. You've been here for several weeks, living as a pet for their leader whom they call Father, and not once have you been happy during that time. You've mostly just been scared and homesick.175Please respect copyright.PENANAsZAD8c2UIK
Your life as a pet is very degrading. You aren't allowed on furniture, you're not allowed to speak unless spoken to, and you're not allowed to do anything without the permission of Father, whom you are forced to address as Master. You aren't even called by your name. Instead, you are simply called Pet. Right now you're sitting on the ground inside Father's study, which is in a building known as the Community Center, staring out of the window.175Please respect copyright.PENANAVWcpJX8zAm
The study is large and furnished with a desk and chair, some bookshelves with many old books, and that's about it. The door to the room creaks open and Father steps inside, his golden hair and eyes sparking in the sunlight. He walks over to his desk and sees you staring out the window.175Please respect copyright.PENANAz5FAtNCLZX

175Please respect copyright.PENANAuRt6uIASDf
175Please respect copyright.PENANA0x8FlcCpV2
He sighs and sits down in his chair. "What is it, child?" he asks, with a tone that makes me feel like he is disappointed in me. "Why are you looking out the window?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAIARgy83T2E
"I just want to go home," I say.175Please respect copyright.PENANAWs2qYmBRIT
Father sighs again. "Child, I know you miss your home, but we're not going anywhere for a while." He sits back in his chair. I start to cry, and Father stares at me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlqFi40luuU
"Why are you crying?" he asks, with a small amount of anger in his voice. I cry even harder.175Please respect copyright.PENANArdWnbavyDr
Father sighs.175Please respect copyright.PENANACh0q6pOA17
I say "I don't want to stay here!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAGMc7crP0Gk
Father gets up from his chair and walks over to me and kneels down in front of me. I look at the ground and Father grabs my chin and forces me to look at him. I look into his eyes. His eyes are cold, like stone. He stares at me with no emotion whatsoever.175Please respect copyright.PENANASD8nWrBY0Q
There's no compassion, no sympathy. I'm just a thing to be used. He will use me for his own benefit, and then he will get rid of me. I need to get out of here. I stand up quickly and bolt for the door.175Please respect copyright.PENANAX3sRoyoL42
"Stop!" he shouts, but I already hear his footsteps behind me. I open the door and run out. I run past the cult members, who only stare at me in awe, some whispering among themselves. I run until I come to a large oak tree. I climb the tree, which is only a few feet away from the ground. I find a branch that I think is strong enough to hold me, and climb up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAXhru4epdUe
I can hear Father's footsteps getting closer. I hide myself in the branches of the tree.175Please respect copyright.PENANA4c9wfm3ZRI
Father comes to the tree, his footsteps getting closer and closer to the tree. He stops, staring at the tree.175Please respect copyright.PENANAAMkNPTqlSJ
"Pet, come down from the tree."175Please respect copyright.PENANAEtWEKyfNST
I stay silent.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQKWp6uUf9k
"Pet, I know you're in there. Come down from the tree right now or else I won't only punish you, I'll make your siblings suffer too. Do you want that to happen?" I come down from the tree and land on the ground with a thud. Father grabs me, and I struggle against his grip, but I can't escape.175Please respect copyright.PENANATivDC8ClP6
"Come with me, child." I am dragged along by Father.175Please respect copyright.PENANAWVvNIylplv
I struggle as I walk with him, but I can't get away. We walk for what seems like forever, and then we finally come to a large, circular room. I look around the room. The room is circular, with no windows, and only two doors. One door is at the very center of the room, while the other is at the very edge.175Please respect copyright.PENANAPK0l7fZY9Q
I struggle against Father, who only laughs at me. I struggle against him for what seems like an eternity, but he keeps a firm grip on me, and I can't get away. I sigh and decide it's best to just give up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAJNxXuFjGbD
Father grabs my chin, and I look at him.175Please respect copyright.PENANA2KBTSiblqO
"Don't make me have to punish you, child."175Please respect copyright.PENANAk97fBzWPWH
I say, "What are you going to do to me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA0uem1RK9It
Father smiles. "I'm going to punish you in a way that you'll enjoy." He releases me. I drop to the ground, exhausted..175Please respect copyright.PENANAYJkVU3R2WK
I say, "Please don't hurt me."175Please respect copyright.PENANAwpm1bhBL3c
Father laughs. "I'm not going to hurt you, child. I'm going to make you scream. I'm going to make you wish you were dead."175Please respect copyright.PENANAm2qK2KFEyr
I say, "Please don't!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAjcNT9d2wn2
Father laughs. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But I will make you wish you were dead, child."175Please respect copyright.PENANArJV0bECCLD
I say, "What does that mean?" Father laughs. He picks me up and throws me on the bed.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaF19FQVKNE
"You'll find out soon enough, child."175Please respect copyright.PENANAQm5WXPcdqn
Then he leaves the room, closing the door behind him. I wait.175Please respect copyright.PENANAcJHFtuXqE1

175Please respect copyright.PENANALqEs3Fax0f
It's the last day of the school year. Finally... I've been waiting for summer vacation since the first day of the school year. I'm almost halfway between the school and my house, feeling happier than ever. Suddenly... darkness. I would have never thought that the last day of my sophomore year would be the last normal day of my life..175Please respect copyright.PENANAFk2fojc7fn
175Please respect copyright.PENANAwMy9zm3h8B
175Please respect copyright.PENANAVGxsZJouJh
I wait for what seems like forever, but he eventually comes back. He sits on the chair by the door. He looks at me.175Please respect copyright.PENANA9bsxAQr8WR
"Are you ready, child?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAWgjMi39oKC
175Please respect copyright.PENANAPv1jrijA8d
I nod and say, "Y-yes."175Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ux67LmVBM
175Please respect copyright.PENANARbqvUMe3IG
"Good. Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to bind your hands together. Then I'm going to blindfold you. Then, I'm going to have you stand in the middle of the circle."175Please respect copyright.PENANAWNk3bbU5kf
175Please respect copyright.PENANA8RxNJ2xSMC
I say, "Okay.."175Please respect copyright.PENANA0mnn2qNfYI
175Please respect copyright.PENANA7y4jTZhSym
I stand there, and Father ties my hands together, then blindfolds me. Father takes out the blindfold and places it over my eyes. I feel his hands on my shoulders, and start to feel uncomfortable.175Please respect copyright.PENANA50xVCeNaiR
175Please respect copyright.PENANAx9dloonaBB
I hear him say, "Bend your knees and keep your eyes forward." I do as I'm told.175Please respect copyright.PENANACYKfRaUoq5
He says "Now, walk forward, slowly."175Please respect copyright.PENANALtY2u61FER
I feel his hands on my lower back and begin walking. I walk forward, and my feet move, taking me forward. My legs continue walking, taking me further and further away from Father. My heart is pounding in my ears. Then, I reach the center of the circle.175Please respect copyright.PENANAHQWxxnG2PK
Father says "Good. Stay there."175Please respect copyright.PENANApp1rWIxGfE
I feel his hands on my shoulders. I hear him say, "Don't look back, child. It'll make things much worse." I stay there. Then, I hear Father's footsteps. I hear his footsteps stop. I stand perfectly still. Father says, "Well, well, well. Look at you." I wonder what's going on. I don't move, even though I can't see. I wait. I stand perfectly still and wait. I hear his footsteps walking toward me. I wait.175Please respect copyright.PENANAFXhqOsgT7s
I stand perfectly still. His footsteps stop. His hands grab my shoulders, and I tense up. His hands push me down. I fall to the ground, and my head smacks into the cold, hard ground. I wince. I lie there, waiting. I wait for a long time, but then I hear his footsteps. They get louder... closer. My heart rate goes up. I wait. I tense up. I stay still. His footsteps stop.175Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ5EV4dS3n
He must be right next to me. I hold my breath. I wait. I stay still.175Please respect copyright.PENANANrNEikksQi
His hands touch my face. I tense up even more. His hands slide down my body, and my knees get weak. He unbuttons my blouse. His hands slide up my bra. I want to scream. He unzips my pants. His hands slide down my panties. I scream,"Stop!"175Please respect copyright.PENANANth0bAtxqo
"Please!" I whisper.175Please respect copyright.PENANAvWFkVXFjtQ
He pulls down my underwear, and he takes his time. His fingers slide inside of me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQGHOjteV62
I scream loudly.175Please respect copyright.PENANAFKMaBgdylc
My scream echoes throughout the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAUpSBw39kMv
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" he shouts.175Please respect copyright.PENANA4Do1tVhInR
His fingers slide faster. I scream louder.175Please respect copyright.PENANAjtxvo32iNX
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" he shouts. I try not to moan.175Please respect copyright.PENANAGbViqxPf3q
My body shakes. My legs shake. I can't control it. My body gives in to the pleasure. I moan and shake--my body trembles. My moans get louder and louder.175Please respect copyright.PENANAIlDQasS3vO
I say "P-please s-stop.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAMjLQAczG0m
He stops for a moment, before sliding his fingers inside of me again. I stay still, and soon, I begin to come down from my orgasm. I lie there, panting. My hands are tied tightly together. I start sobbing.175Please respect copyright.PENANAgpxGusMIZJ
He pulls his fingers out of me. I wince and groan. I'm sore from the orgasm. I lie there, sobbing. I feel him sit down next to me. He unties my hands. I cry harder.175Please respect copyright.PENANAwwMflKZ7pO
He pulls the blindfold off of me, and I see that there are several men standing around, staring at me. I try to cover myself, but one of the men pulls the blanket off of me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAJuhNbUtZfL
"What's the matter, huh?" one of the men says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAgX22E0nvRW
"Look at her," another says,175Please respect copyright.PENANA7ziVoDFSvI
I say "Please leave me alone."175Please respect copyright.PENANARfAKD8E0B3

"We'll see. Let's see."175Please respect copyright.PENANA2KxB5jN18o
I say "No no no.." They laugh.175Please respect copyright.PENANA0lvusazvbM
"Look at her. She's a dirty little slut," one of them says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAMUGhEcRyTl
"Let's see if she's a filthy little cocksucker," another says. I say "Please leave me alone!" They laugh. They grab me. They forcefully violate me. I start sobbing. I'm crying, and I can't stop. My tears are falling down my face.175Please respect copyright.PENANAmmDyw8G7zb
They untie me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAHVrMBoqTgS
I lie there, naked and sobbing. I'm sore, and my butt is sore. I keep crying harder. After a while, I hear a voice.175Please respect copyright.PENANATbl5PgRvAG
"Ah... you're up," Father says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQFq6bNEexZ
175Please respect copyright.PENANAm3WJgfmm26
"Huh?" I say, confused. I slowly get up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlzqNdmmrre
"Where were you?" he asks,175Please respect copyright.PENANAby9VYvVc1n
I say, "T-they were hurting me...."175Please respect copyright.PENANAyeDb0WgBW7
"I know. We were worried about you. We thought you might be a virgin. You were."175Please respect copyright.PENANAJcHs16cXxV
Father smiles.175Please respect copyright.PENANAiDetLukWX4
"Get dressed. We have work to do," he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAu59FtWqZjU
I say, "I can't handle this anymore. I can't stay here any longer. This is too much."175Please respect copyright.PENANAd4YZRmEanU

"I'm leaving," I say, trying to walk away.175Please respect copyright.PENANAzeUTxNpkIC
Father grabs my arm. I struggle.175Please respect copyright.PENANACXtAxGqKXQ
"Look, I know you're upset, but you're going to have to get over it. You need to stop struggling. I won't let you leave."175Please respect copyright.PENANAHGb4idkA56
I say, "Please let me go!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAISUUMliJhk
"I'm not letting you go. We need you. I need you. I'm your master, and you're my pet. I own you, and you obey me," Father says. I say, "I will not stay here any longer."175Please respect copyright.PENANA52a1gHzq9q
"You will," Father says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAsYgzqXgUWO
"I said I won't!" I say. Father gets angry. He pulls me to my feet. He slaps me hard across the face.175Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Q9FJosGz
"You WILL!" I start crying hard. I cry as hard as I can, and Father laughs.175Please respect copyright.PENANAePoCJ3AfYY
"I own you," he says, "You obey me."175Please respect copyright.PENANAnSVQWZ5JSw
I cry and sob hard. I sob for a long time before Father comes up behind me and slaps me hard.175Please respect copyright.PENANAmSBhhBQVTJ
"Stop crying," he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAyhpkOHYRBG
"I can't!"175Please respect copyright.PENANARKUDQDjEYR

I say, "I want to kill myself!!!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAr72lhZ5u8D
"NO!" Father screams.175Please respect copyright.PENANAtk3I6cgX1y
"I'm not going to hit you anymore. I'm not going to hit you anymore. But you need to stop crying. You need to stop being so pathetic." I slowly stop crying. "You're going to stay here with us. You're going to learn. You're going to obey. You're going to be a good member of the cult. And you're going to love it here."175Please respect copyright.PENANAaCSuLpj23O
I say, "I would rather kill myself than be here."175Please respect copyright.PENANAx7PHZANMPq

I say, "If you promise to not hurt me anymore, I promise to do anything you want."175Please respect copyright.PENANA9HHAV8zfXx
"Fine," Father says. He gets up from the chair and walks over to me. He removes the gun from my head and puts it on the bed. I'm relieved. I put my hands behind my back.175Please respect copyright.PENANAjuZGlZfEPl
I let him tie my hands together. I look at him, and he looks at me.175Please respect copyright.PENANA5x8dBrJckk

I anticipate that he's going to violate my body.175Please respect copyright.PENANApv1VMs3Pxc
I just know it.175Please respect copyright.PENANAsnmaHg8CEV
And then, he doesn't. He whispers in my ear.175Please respect copyright.PENANAkSAALnNTds
"I have someone coming who will do a better job than me."175Please respect copyright.PENANATadcf4egZl
I stand up, and he turns around. I wonder who he's talking about. I try to block out the image of his penis, but I can't. He walks over to the door and disappears.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlor2euLp7T
I'm all alone in the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAJjw4iAAKwL

He comes up to me, and I can feel him unbutton my shirt. He removes my shirt and he puts his hand on my stomach. I gasp. I can feel his fingers on my skin. I can feel his breath on my skin. He puts his other hand on my head and he pushes my head toward his penis.175Please respect copyright.PENANAzD65B5eHo8
I say "No no no."175Please respect copyright.PENANAOApC3Oqvij
"Do it," he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANA9exs65S9Ps

"Stay there," he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAmXlrLKeSMl
I stay on my knees.175Please respect copyright.PENANAEQvwCjZAHg

"What?" he says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAuEJEYe05Rc
I try to get air. I inhale. I try to get air out.175Please respect copyright.PENANAP73L12JPx8
He shoves it back in my throat and I gag on his penis. I cough and vomit. I continue to struggle. He pushes it in even deeper. I have no strength left. My vision goes black. He shoves it out again.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQEzWJnomDK
"Is this too big for you?" he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAZL6JMjJLOV
I nod.175Please respect copyright.PENANAU8SaWrkBKw

He cums in my mouth and I spit it out.175Please respect copyright.PENANAv9KPS9YIv4
"Get dressed," he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAhXyhNWTKu5
I get dressed. He pushes me out the door and shoves me out the door. He closes it behind me. I take the chance to run away. I run away from the cultists as they try to catch me. They shout at me to stop, but I keep running. I manage to escape them and run away. I run all the way back home. I'm safe at last.175Please respect copyright.PENANAnWiqVLVY7a

"Is Allie in here?"175Please respect copyright.PENANARxRhvttvZL
My dad says, "Yes, why?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAnNPEx8PUqb
"We have some questions for her regarding the kidnapping of a young girl earlier this week," one of the policemen says. "Is she willing to answer some questions?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA7KPTQrV5Fh
"Of course she is." I walk towards the cops.175Please respect copyright.PENANAApfbASwXJh
"Do you have any weapons on you?" one of the cops asks.175Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yhf6fKx26
"No." I respond,175Please respect copyright.PENANADpgfylHIHz
"Can we come in?"175Please respect copyright.PENANArdLQPnmImp
"Sure," I say. The cops follow me into the kitchen. They walk past my dad and sit down at the table. They motion for me to sit down, too.175Please respect copyright.PENANANpXoLRJ2eU
"Okay, why were you kidnapped?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAy4fUNrnmx2
I say, "I don't know."175Please respect copyright.PENANAAbP63xoOPK
"We know that the man you encountered on the road called you by name. Did he tell you his name?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAzsaJ9wpuH3
"No." I say,175Please respect copyright.PENANAgkT6BhZr0Z
"Are you sure?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAOu31mMMjbf

"Did you fight him?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAnksTndAcu4
"I tried."175Please respect copyright.PENANAVA48ThDYIm
"What happened?" I pause, trying to think of an answer.175Please respect copyright.PENANA4KqGiwwDTO
"I think I blacked out."175Please respect copyright.PENANAdMGS5dlpNw
"I see."175Please respect copyright.PENANAepqrdk8HmP
I say, "He severely beat me numerous times.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAHdwpfUvYG2
"And how long were you with him?"175Please respect copyright.PENANACu0oBwbtse
"I think about ten hours."175Please respect copyright.PENANAVWmesSPcmR
"And you only just managed to escape?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAyr3nrqPsq6
"Yeah."175Please respect copyright.PENANAaDdvGtCpsX
"Do you know where you were?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAQwn3jn42qY

"What is the last thing you remember?"175Please respect copyright.PENANACKICbAt6Tu
"I remember walking down the road."175Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bi70GmztX
"And then?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAuPoUNdCJuE
"I don't remember."175Please respect copyright.PENANAiWBXSagjMR
"Do you know how you got away?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAb78FB72A8h
I say, "I just ran,"175Please respect copyright.PENANAUwOrKe0trl
"Okay, why don't you tell me what happened, from the beginning."175Please respect copyright.PENANA5GGUoqpNOW
I explain what happened to me, starting with the encounter on the road, ending with running away from the cultists.175Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ6z77Bvde
I say, "So that's how it all happened."175Please respect copyright.PENANAwilHSOsHjo
"What do you mean?" one of the cops asks. "I say you blacked out, and then you woke up and ran away. So did he drug you or something?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA6aXRReR3AB
"I don't know." Suddenly I hear gunshots outside the house.175Please respect copyright.PENANAvf0yNJdMUL
"What was that?" one of the cops asks,175Please respect copyright.PENANALu057wZSEP
"Stay here, we're going to check it out." my dad says, and heads outside. I run outside with my dad. He tells me to hide behind a bush.175Please respect copyright.PENANAVsEWUXEOnm
"Go hide over there," my father points to a bush about thirty feet from the house.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaomz3AK7Zo
I hide behind the bush and watch the house.175Please respect copyright.PENANAbTKrTwTDKc
I see a man who I recognize as the person who kidnapped me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAZfBsQ7iXuz
He has a gun and is shooting at my dad. I watch with tears in my eyes as my dad falls to the ground.175Please respect copyright.PENANANCVaK4ce2r
"You fucking son of a bitch!" I yell as I charge at my kidnapper. I push him down, and beat him repeatedly in the head with my fist. I then take his gun and shoot him in the head with it.175Please respect copyright.PENANAfbTVmLWyOC
I drop to my knees over his body and sob.175Please respect copyright.PENANAFLG4SbYhuA
After a few minutes the police officers arrive at the house. They rush towards me and place handcuffs on me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlrc31ONcfj
I say, "He was my kidnapper! Please, trust me!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAQdiBOvRvKj
"We'll take care of everything, don't worry." one of the officers says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAzHWKFEbLKQ
"I'm sorry, but we need to take you with us, it's for your own safety." I'm thrown in the back of the cop car.175Please respect copyright.PENANAtabUdloV2e
175Please respect copyright.PENANAPJSVwSpKRb
175Please respect copyright.PENANAQjjddAwo6E
I try to open the door to get out, but the cops slam it shut. I try to bang on the window, but no one seems to notice me, except my mom, standing on the front porch looking at me with tears in her eyes.175Please respect copyright.PENANAcNf4iufEzE
I sob in the back of the cop car. I am being taken to the police station, and I don't know what to expect.175Please respect copyright.PENANAPzv18rNLjn
175Please respect copyright.PENANATf1RNlBCMF
At the police station, I am strip searched and placed in a cell.175Please respect copyright.PENANAGdviCB26Ig
I say, "Please, the man I killed was the one who kidnapped me and murdered my father!"175Please respect copyright.PENANApl9zMlbga8
"Calm down, we'll get you a lawyer and he'll take care of everything."175Please respect copyright.PENANAapbEupgiWA
"But I didn't do anything wrong!" I collapse on the cell floor and start crying.175Please respect copyright.PENANAavw9Nn0shV
"I'm sorry, we'll get you someone who can explain it to the judge."175Please respect copyright.PENANAFf5ni2mGNm
I don't really know how much time passes, but I am released from the cell after some time.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlkbexfsZGt
"We'll get you someone who can explain it to the judge, I promise." I am taken to a different cell and left alone. I sob and cry for what seems like hours. I cry about what I did, cry about being in prison, cry about being a murderer. Eventually, I stop crying and just sit there on the bed, surrounded by concrete walls. I fall asleep on the jail bed.175Please respect copyright.PENANAuQSrcuw3vF
175Please respect copyright.PENANAgTrSSSSJEL
175Please respect copyright.PENANAZibiRSdqbK
I am woken up by a man in a suit.175Please respect copyright.PENANADx0aVYXtIW
"Get up." he says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAJhFrc5lxdm
"Why am I here?"175Please respect copyright.PENANADZlRRuKd7P
"Because you murdered a man, and you tried to murder another."175Please respect copyright.PENANAog21v0IeA6
I say, "He fucking kidnapped me for Christ's sake!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAzlGNBANJkU
"Shut the fuck up." He says, "Get dressed. We're getting you a lawyer."175Please respect copyright.PENANAi2kjbcHngI
I am taken to a holding area, a small room with a table in it. A man sits behind the desk.175Please respect copyright.PENANAS3yq9MkGni
I sit down.175Please respect copyright.PENANA3dahoivBsK
"Okay, how can I help you?" he asks.175Please respect copyright.PENANAH9nTm6h10H
"I was kidnapped and assaulted, and I killed someone while trying to escape."175Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ9KW0njLm
"I see. Do you have a lawyer?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAIrGEQAvnDt
I say, "No."175Please respect copyright.PENANATJ3PqiTOJK
"I see. Would you like one appointed to you?"175Please respect copyright.PENANARdakhx1xWc
I respond, "Yes."175Please respect copyright.PENANAeBj0ffIz5b
"Okay, I'll get the judge on the phone. I'll have them call you. A lawyer will be there in a moment." A few moments later, a middle aged woman wearing a dress walks in. I look up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQaHaI7uICk
"Hello, Miss, do you need a lawyer?" the woman asks.175Please respect copyright.PENANAg7wD1nFihO
"Yes."175Please respect copyright.PENANAfhJPmlHFhx
"Okay, I'll get the judge on the phone for you, let's just wait a moment."175Please respect copyright.PENANANjXiWFoZFP
I sit down, and wait a few minutes. Then, a man in a suit walks in,175Please respect copyright.PENANA709KXO6C2X
I say, "Hi."175Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3nQiisLsT
The man looks at me, and then walks up to the woman.175Please respect copyright.PENANAb1yEHTIzGS
"Yes, Judge?" the woman asks.175Please respect copyright.PENANATRuwUZG6cI
"Get me a lawyer for this 15 year old girl." the man says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAdkPRZHoeQy
"Right away," says the woman.175Please respect copyright.PENANA5oxkcDkw6d
She turns to me, "Okay, we'll get you a lawyer. He should be here in a moment. He'll explain everything to you, and he'll help you with your story. You just wait here."175Please respect copyright.PENANAM48FGB4WrZ
I say, "Okay."175Please respect copyright.PENANAQmJiRxfi9D
A few moments later, a man walks in. He says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAcTLgXwef4S
"Hello. I'm your lawyer. Now, you can wait here, or you can come with me." I follow the man.175Please respect copyright.PENANAYNfcj8EopS
I am led down a set of stairs, and into a basement. There, I see a large table. I sit at one of the chairs.175Please respect copyright.PENANATrnmPyctuj
The man walks into the room, and says, "Okay, why did you murder a man?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAZaQHkqYwQ0
"He kidnapped me."175Please respect copyright.PENANALdAdc0Sdn5
"Okay, why did you try to murder another?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAiA513SXDhl
I say, "He tried to stab me."175Please respect copyright.PENANApSNWHKUDIO
"Who was he?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAAX6WBeEOoM
"I don't know."175Please respect copyright.PENANAO9ezswXc45
"Where did you get the knife?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAqYzgZyU6Od
"He had it in his pocket."175Please respect copyright.PENANAQJB8pwTi6r
"Did he threaten you in any way?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAQkjwAR4Xlv
I say "Yes. He frequently beat me and sexually assaulted me."175Please respect copyright.PENANAIzBzciMVJs
"Okay, now, that's a new one. Anything else?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA9fGcPeSMXl
"No."175Please respect copyright.PENANA8ec94jDn0h
"You sure? Think hard."175Please respect copyright.PENANAK9qkVBLUs5
I think for a few moments, trying to remember anything else the man said or did.175Please respect copyright.PENANAglLnQ6vXfi
I say, "He killed my father."175Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ5uvUUbQ1
"What?"175Please respect copyright.PENANADNfmrTfvqu
I say, "When I ran away and made it back home, the man tracked where I ran to and shot my father."175Please respect copyright.PENANAyRSDacFqdI
"Your father? I'm very sorry to hear that. You know, I don't think that you're a murderer. I think that you were kidnapped and forced to do what you did." I try to hold back tears. "I'm going to get you a doctor to examine you. I think you might be experiencing some emotional trauma and it's affecting you. Would you like to see a doctor?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA7DDPMdYlTA
"Y-yes.." I say shakily.175Please respect copyright.PENANAcYoKV9IUn7
The man nods, and a man in a suit walks into the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAdcqDu8LQd1
"Ah, there you are." he says, "I have Doctor Dershian here. He wants to examine you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAuPg76dqFMS
I say, "Okay.."175Please respect copyright.PENANALAuykcZgzA
The man in the suit leaves the room, and another man enters the room. He is wearing a lab coat.175Please respect copyright.PENANAdUnvim9MKb
He says, "Hello. Why don't you come with me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAEmhHnpBBPs
I follow him.175Please respect copyright.PENANAsA9dl8keTo
He leads me up the stairs, and into a room. He says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAy0rBITlzaV
"Okay, why don't you tell me what happened?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAxGBmX2uf00
175Please respect copyright.PENANA3jnuw5cCfX
I say, "A-a man kidnapped me and abused and sexually assaulted m-me..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAU0pXHImHXA
"Alright. Take a seat."175Please respect copyright.PENANAG45NN4Bg4H
The man is Doctor Dershian. He asks me a few questions about the events leading up to the murder, and about my emotional state now.175Please respect copyright.PENANAbCKCoYqK41
I say, "More than a few times the man made me think about killing myself.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAW4vhoUi4xB
"Really? You tried to kill yourself?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAVmoE12zkiC
"Yes.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAaiiQWeygtI
"I see. Do you feel suicidal now?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAeqffJHYE1Q
I say, "Not really. I'm just really emotionally shattered."175Please respect copyright.PENANAOb33I68slE
"Okay, I'll get someone to take you to a counselor. You just wait here," Doctor Dershian says, and walks out of the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ9w8pKJ22
I feel like the whole situation is about to make me explode.175Please respect copyright.PENANAG5cTTR6nJp
A few minutes later, Doctor Dershian returns.175Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q1Zm0QQRE
I say, "D-doctor.. I-I feel suicidal right n-now..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAIBKu3suUMI
"Suicidal?" Doctor Dershian asks, "What makes you say that?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAAKLExffphj
I say, "The situation is just too much for me to handle."175Please respect copyright.PENANAEpzhKZMOqy
"I see. Would you like to go to a counselor?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA3H8atRwB5z
"Y-yes, please." Doctor Dershian is about to say something, but is interrupted by the door opening. I look up. In walks a man in a white, long, lab coat. He looks very serious. He says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAEVfjDeX2Sj
"I'm Doctor Kessel. I'm here to evaluate you." I try to stand up but collapse to the floor. Doctor Kessel immediately calls for a nurse. The nurse walks in, and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAmWkhsOsKzq
"What is it?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAerOD3TPz0H
Doctor Kessel says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAGZRyeIgAoB
"This patient is suicidal." I lie on the floor sobbing.175Please respect copyright.PENANAZoiX7uL00m
A few minutes later, a nurse walks back into the room and helps me to my feet. She holds my hand and helps me to a chair. I sit down, and try to stop crying.175Please respect copyright.PENANAcqH4ffUZ2W
I say, "Why me??? Why does this all have to happen to ME??" The nurse looks at me with sympathy, and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAAoIy38P3wj
"I'm sorry, but that's part of the evaluation. We need to find out why you're suicidal. We want to help you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAD4pwcgKFZU
I say, "Why did I have to get kidnapped? Why was I the one to be abused? Why did I have to become a murderer? WHY ME??"175Please respect copyright.PENANALOU6B7v7QW
The nurse shakes her head, and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANA58aZuZ3ltq
"I'm sorry. We'll talk about this after we finish the evaluation. Right now, we need to do some tests." I try to not cry.175Please respect copyright.PENANA9y4ERxbdcM
I feel so helpless. I feel so out of control, and I can't do anything to change this. I go over to a table, and the nurse helps me remove my clothes. I feel like I'm slowly dying inside. I don't even care.175Please respect copyright.PENANAd7aY5bGfQx
The nurse helps me into a gown, and I lie down on the examination table. She cleans and checks my inner and outer thighs, my genitalia, and my breasts. I try to calm down and breathe normally. The nurse says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAF65SCP3qFp
"I need to do a blood draw, and a urine sample. I need your help with this." I comply, and the nurse takes my blood. At this point, I don't even feel the pain. I just want to die.175Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Ykz6F0uQ
After a few minutes, the nurse comes back and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAElYN1WxzQl
"Okay, come with me." I get up and follow the nurse into a different room. I try to maintain my composure. The nurse says, "I need to check your blood pressure. I need you to lay down on the table and get on all fours." I lay down and get on all fours. Suddenly, I start having horrific flashbacks about the kidnapping. My heart rate goes up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAKvSytx74NT
The nurse says, "Okay, your BP is a little high. I need to do an ultrasound to check your kidneys, and a CAT scan to check your brain." I start to shake and cry. I feel like the world is weighing down on me. I want to give up. The nurse tries to console me, and she says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAAVO2nBws5A
"Everything is going to be okay. You'll see your family soon." I slowly calm down. I start to feel a little more at ease. I breathe deeply and start to fall asleep on the table.175Please respect copyright.PENANAHOeXjHjmiN
A few minutes later, I wake up. The nurse is there, and she is smiling at me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAxwIQbJgZWY
I say "Where am I?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAgruVDjU4Oo
"You're in a hospital room. We moved you to a private room because you were so hysterical and it was so crowded. You were also vomiting blood. It's going to be okay."175Please respect copyright.PENANAk3SyIbtfeS
I say, "Am I diagnosed with insanity?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAAq2EO3vVlV
The nurse smiles sadly, "No, but they're still determining that. It's going to be a few days before they give you a diagnosis. In the meantime, you'll be monitored, and you can have visitors."175Please respect copyright.PENANAfdx4JY99GA
I say, "I want to see my mom..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAboWiLmycpL
The nurse interrupts me and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAoT50fatzxc
"I'm sorry, but I need to do some tests. I'm going to be back to let you know when you can have visitors."175Please respect copyright.PENANAlOJrzIbrA5
"O-okay.." I say as I feel the tears welling up again. The nurse leaves the room, and I cry for a few minutes. I feel so helpless. I can't do anything to help myself.175Please respect copyright.PENANAtl8hMghHdR
175Please respect copyright.PENANA5HQF3DXA7m
A few hours later, my mom comes to visit.175Please respect copyright.PENANAf4qK6fX61Y
"M-mom.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAKihxJNSgU0
My mom walks into the room, and gives me a big hug.175Please respect copyright.PENANAwluRdqHzmg
"I'm so glad to see you, baby! I've been so worried."175Please respect copyright.PENANAijKZgSePRr
I say, "I feel like I'm going crazy mom. Why did life have to do this to me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAZCxyxtcalA
"I know honey. I've been thinking the same thing. They said they're going to keep you here for a few more days, and they're going to keep an eye on you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAvuGY9pfwtu
"I-I love you mom," I say as I start crying.175Please respect copyright.PENANAqtCUvkQUHo
"I love you too, sweetie. I want to be there with you. I want to do something to make you feel better. Do you think you could pray with me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAa824OAJzvu
"Yes.." I say quietly.175Please respect copyright.PENANAPxcDFaHoSp
I say a prayer with my mom, and I feel calm and at ease.175Please respect copyright.PENANA9xi0F9Ruru
After we pray, my mom asks if I want to talk about what happened.175Please respect copyright.PENANA3sL1exqFX3
I say, "If I start talking about that, I'm going to start sobbing and I won't be able to control myself.."175Please respect copyright.PENANA8pzaoEDLzQ
"I know honey, but you need to get it out. Get everything out. Don't hold anything in. It's eating at you, and it's making you sick."175Please respect copyright.PENANAsAUEipi8Yr
I say, "Why did that man kidnap me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAHD7aWPsLfZ
"I don't know honey. We'll find out soon. I'll talk to the doctor when he comes in, and I'll find out what's going on. I promise."175Please respect copyright.PENANApNl1K72Wpp
I say, "Once this is all resolved, are the cult members gonna be thrown in prison?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAZvZEa7q2Gf
"I don't know, honey. I hope so. I don't think there's a jury that would convict them. I'll do what I can to make sure that happens."175Please respect copyright.PENANATMenejZlF4
I say, "Okay.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAvgJbvHlNVf
My mom spends the rest of my visit in the hospital room, and we don't say another word to each other. After my visit is over, I spend a couple of hours in the empty hospital room. I start crying again. I feel so helpless, and I can't do anything to help myself. I don't know when I will get another visit, or if I'll ever get out of this hospital. I cry myself to sleep. I wake up, wishing this was all just a bad dream. I hope that when I get out of the hospital, everything will be back to normal, and I'll just live my life with no problems. The nurse walks into the hospital room.175Please respect copyright.PENANATunhSXEa7N
"I'm so sorry to wake you, but I need to speak with you. It's very important."175Please respect copyright.PENANA27uv5NUvmV
I wipe the tears off my face.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaXPnU0650u
I say, "What is it? What's wrong?"175Please respect copyright.PENANALfmpJGtCTU
"Your tests came back, and you tested positive for.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAlT5SQqRuHW
I say, "What? What did I test positive for?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA3ECbdMRHWU
"I'm so, so sorry. I wish I could tell you. I really do. You tested positive for.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAXHQZPmQqaE
I say, "Tell me!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ9ppqlQmO
"A sexually transmitted disease. I'm so, so sorry, dear."175Please respect copyright.PENANAQrsHDaIOpw
My heart drops.175Please respect copyright.PENANATlKWhGoccX
I feel so ashamed. I cry myself to sleep again.175Please respect copyright.PENANA03ltvttc6x
175Please respect copyright.PENANAq7NlRAyfoN
In the morning, I get my visitors.175Please respect copyright.PENANAyymCpWt4md
My sister, Charlotte, visits me. She asks me what's wrong. I can't even answer her. I just cry. I feel so ashamed of myself. Charlotte starts to leave the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAqdLEosL2wg
I say, "Wait!" She stops.175Please respect copyright.PENANA6mKNIRkjGE
"What is it?"175Please respect copyright.PENANArHLTn8MrUJ
I say, "I need a hug.." Charlotte wraps her arms around me, and I cry.175Please respect copyright.PENANAjNR2xNhDKb
I eventually gather the strength to tell my sister what the doctor said.175Please respect copyright.PENANApre0MvXsQY
I say, "The doctor said I have a.. Std..."175Please respect copyright.PENANABbbXfM2YYR
"I know, sis. I'm so, so sorry."175Please respect copyright.PENANAxBYQOVhQ2M
I cry myself to sleep.175Please respect copyright.PENANAY87FbxJxRJ
The next day, I get another visit from my mom.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlbuXMZd1dX
"How are you doing, honey?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAflyebRbQ53
I say, "Horrible.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAkzxdLhepe7
She walks over and sits next to me on the bed.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaN6xdwjrKN
"I heard about you testing positive for a sexually transmitted disease. I'm so sorry."175Please respect copyright.PENANApQqu8I5bnw
I say, "I'm so ashamed..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAWn1dQBOWEx
"It's not your fault, honey."175Please respect copyright.PENANAEogmx3IA1s
I start crying again.175Please respect copyright.PENANACycpfJy5Xo
"I'll get you some tissues, honey. You can cry on them. Cry your heart out."175Please respect copyright.PENANAzLJfRAW5jV
I cry myself to sleep in my mother's arms. I wake up the next morning. I'm not as tired as I was yesterday. Maybe the doctor gave me some new medication, or maybe I'm just getting used to being here. I don't feel any emotions. I feel empty and dead inside. I don't care about anything. I don't feel any guilt or shame.175Please respect copyright.PENANAJAjEnyyEXj
Maybe I'm dead after all.175Please respect copyright.PENANAjjZ3vI9q1t
Maybe this is what it feels like to be nothing. I get a visit from my lawyer.175Please respect copyright.PENANAFtCQpDa71K
"I heard the test results, and I'm here to ask you if you would like to pursue this case. You tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, so the chances of us winning are pretty slim."175Please respect copyright.PENANAzAedP7b7FW

"Well, it's up to you, then. I'll go get our legal team, and we can get started."175Please respect copyright.PENANATlnFtQHPpF
I spend the next few weeks resting in my hospital room. I don't have any visitors. I have forgotten what life is like outside the hospital. I don't even want to leave my hospital room. I spend my days watching reruns of Friends and crying. One day the nurse comes into the room and says, "I've got good news."175Please respect copyright.PENANAMIKfxwMAbR
"Really?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAh84554fKDg
"Yeah, your doctor says you can go home today."175Please respect copyright.PENANAWrnvmFNEgZ
I start crying, and I can't stop.175Please respect copyright.PENANAkrYfisXHtR

I spend my time at home resting. I don't do anything. One day I decide to walk outside.175Please respect copyright.PENANAS0dZaBknxg
I get out my patio door, and I don't turn around and go back inside. I don't know why, but I just have this urge to walk outside.175Please respect copyright.PENANA2kYfBH2Jjj
I stand in the middle of my lawn.The smell of fresh air makes me emotional. I start crying happy tears. I walk over to my flower bed and pick a few flowers to smell. I smell them, and then throw them in the air and watch them float away. They are so pretty, and they smell so good.175Please respect copyright.PENANADmkjDWECf6
My mom opens the front door and says, "What are you doing?" I turn around to see her standing there.175Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nq9TeUXb6
"I wanted to see the flowers."175Please respect copyright.PENANAJO6neKbMaC
"Why are you out of your room?"175Please respect copyright.PENANARsZWfFnH1T
"I don't know. I just felt like walking outside."175Please respect copyright.PENANAi8zjhplbIP
I say, "I've been cooped up in a room for way too long."175Please respect copyright.PENANAYOwQfJUoJa
"Yeah, I know what you mean," my mom says. She picks me up and gives me a big hug.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQHY2UkhenV
"Thank you for being you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAZLt8DVPGok
"You don't have to thank me." I see the next-door neighbor's son walk out to get the mail. I look at him fascinated. He has no fear. He doesn't know what it's like to be scared. He doesn't know what it feels like to live in a nightmare.175Please respect copyright.PENANAKt3E6WTprd
I make a decision.175Please respect copyright.PENANA2FnSBPSJsJ
I walk up to the neighbor's boy and say, "Hi!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAUdJK7bVCyA
"What's your name?"175Please respect copyright.PENANALakxFDtpNn
"Allisa," I say, smiling.175Please respect copyright.PENANAdJFfB5tP8i

I say, "I just wanted to get some fresh air."175Please respect copyright.PENANAtRbfhMmi8A
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I had this urge to walk outside too." He laughs.175Please respect copyright.PENANA7dfXCK0Nt9
I say, "Well I gotta go back inside.." I go back inside and go to bed. I don't know why I feel so empty. I want to fill this void. I want to find something to fill all of this space.175Please respect copyright.PENANAeSxrFc7D06

Your life as a pet is very degrading. You aren't allowed on furniture, you're not allowed to speak unless spoken to, and you're not allowed to do anything without the permission of Father, whom you are forced to address as Master. You aren't even called by your name. Instead, you are simply called Pet. Right now you're sitting on the ground inside Father's study, which is in a building known as the Community Center, staring out of the window.175Please respect copyright.PENANAVWcpJX8zAm
The study is large and furnished with a desk and chair, some bookshelves with many old books, and that's about it. The door to the room creaks open and Father steps inside, his golden hair and eyes sparking in the sunlight. He walks over to his desk and sees you staring out the window.175Please respect copyright.PENANAz5FAtNCLZX
175Please respect copyright.PENANAwUkQEsYFHn
175Please respect copyright.PENANAuRt6uIASDf
175Please respect copyright.PENANA0x8FlcCpV2
He sighs and sits down in his chair. "What is it, child?" he asks, with a tone that makes me feel like he is disappointed in me. "Why are you looking out the window?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAIARgy83T2E
"I just want to go home," I say.175Please respect copyright.PENANAWs2qYmBRIT
Father sighs again. "Child, I know you miss your home, but we're not going anywhere for a while." He sits back in his chair. I start to cry, and Father stares at me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlqFi40luuU
"Why are you crying?" he asks, with a small amount of anger in his voice. I cry even harder.175Please respect copyright.PENANArdWnbavyDr
Father sighs.175Please respect copyright.PENANACh0q6pOA17
I say "I don't want to stay here!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAGMc7crP0Gk
Father gets up from his chair and walks over to me and kneels down in front of me. I look at the ground and Father grabs my chin and forces me to look at him. I look into his eyes. His eyes are cold, like stone. He stares at me with no emotion whatsoever.175Please respect copyright.PENANASD8nWrBY0Q
There's no compassion, no sympathy. I'm just a thing to be used. He will use me for his own benefit, and then he will get rid of me. I need to get out of here. I stand up quickly and bolt for the door.175Please respect copyright.PENANAX3sRoyoL42
"Stop!" he shouts, but I already hear his footsteps behind me. I open the door and run out. I run past the cult members, who only stare at me in awe, some whispering among themselves. I run until I come to a large oak tree. I climb the tree, which is only a few feet away from the ground. I find a branch that I think is strong enough to hold me, and climb up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAXhru4epdUe
I can hear Father's footsteps getting closer. I hide myself in the branches of the tree.175Please respect copyright.PENANA4c9wfm3ZRI
Father comes to the tree, his footsteps getting closer and closer to the tree. He stops, staring at the tree.175Please respect copyright.PENANAAMkNPTqlSJ
"Pet, come down from the tree."175Please respect copyright.PENANAEtWEKyfNST
I stay silent.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQKWp6uUf9k
"Pet, I know you're in there. Come down from the tree right now or else I won't only punish you, I'll make your siblings suffer too. Do you want that to happen?" I come down from the tree and land on the ground with a thud. Father grabs me, and I struggle against his grip, but I can't escape.175Please respect copyright.PENANATivDC8ClP6
"Come with me, child." I am dragged along by Father.175Please respect copyright.PENANAWVvNIylplv
I struggle as I walk with him, but I can't get away. We walk for what seems like forever, and then we finally come to a large, circular room. I look around the room. The room is circular, with no windows, and only two doors. One door is at the very center of the room, while the other is at the very edge.175Please respect copyright.PENANAPK0l7fZY9Q
I struggle against Father, who only laughs at me. I struggle against him for what seems like an eternity, but he keeps a firm grip on me, and I can't get away. I sigh and decide it's best to just give up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAJNxXuFjGbD
Father grabs my chin, and I look at him.175Please respect copyright.PENANA2KBTSiblqO
"Don't make me have to punish you, child."175Please respect copyright.PENANAk97fBzWPWH
I say, "What are you going to do to me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA0uem1RK9It
Father smiles. "I'm going to punish you in a way that you'll enjoy." He releases me. I drop to the ground, exhausted..175Please respect copyright.PENANAYJkVU3R2WK
I say, "Please don't hurt me."175Please respect copyright.PENANAwpm1bhBL3c
Father laughs. "I'm not going to hurt you, child. I'm going to make you scream. I'm going to make you wish you were dead."175Please respect copyright.PENANAm2qK2KFEyr
I say, "Please don't!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAjcNT9d2wn2
Father laughs. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But I will make you wish you were dead, child."175Please respect copyright.PENANArJV0bECCLD
I say, "What does that mean?" Father laughs. He picks me up and throws me on the bed.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaF19FQVKNE
"You'll find out soon enough, child."175Please respect copyright.PENANAQm5WXPcdqn
Then he leaves the room, closing the door behind him. I wait.175Please respect copyright.PENANAcJHFtuXqE1

It's the last day of the school year. Finally... I've been waiting for summer vacation since the first day of the school year. I'm almost halfway between the school and my house, feeling happier than ever. Suddenly... darkness. I would have never thought that the last day of my sophomore year would be the last normal day of my life..175Please respect copyright.PENANAFk2fojc7fn

175Please respect copyright.PENANAPv1jrijA8d

"Good. Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to bind your hands together. Then I'm going to blindfold you. Then, I'm going to have you stand in the middle of the circle."175Please respect copyright.PENANAWNk3bbU5kf
175Please respect copyright.PENANA8RxNJ2xSMC
I say, "Okay.."175Please respect copyright.PENANA0mnn2qNfYI
175Please respect copyright.PENANA7y4jTZhSym
I stand there, and Father ties my hands together, then blindfolds me. Father takes out the blindfold and places it over my eyes. I feel his hands on my shoulders, and start to feel uncomfortable.175Please respect copyright.PENANA50xVCeNaiR
175Please respect copyright.PENANAx9dloonaBB
I hear him say, "Bend your knees and keep your eyes forward." I do as I'm told.175Please respect copyright.PENANACYKfRaUoq5
He says "Now, walk forward, slowly."175Please respect copyright.PENANALtY2u61FER
I feel his hands on my lower back and begin walking. I walk forward, and my feet move, taking me forward. My legs continue walking, taking me further and further away from Father. My heart is pounding in my ears. Then, I reach the center of the circle.175Please respect copyright.PENANAHQWxxnG2PK
Father says "Good. Stay there."175Please respect copyright.PENANApp1rWIxGfE
I feel his hands on my shoulders. I hear him say, "Don't look back, child. It'll make things much worse." I stay there. Then, I hear Father's footsteps. I hear his footsteps stop. I stand perfectly still. Father says, "Well, well, well. Look at you." I wonder what's going on. I don't move, even though I can't see. I wait. I stand perfectly still and wait. I hear his footsteps walking toward me. I wait.175Please respect copyright.PENANAFXhqOsgT7s
I stand perfectly still. His footsteps stop. His hands grab my shoulders, and I tense up. His hands push me down. I fall to the ground, and my head smacks into the cold, hard ground. I wince. I lie there, waiting. I wait for a long time, but then I hear his footsteps. They get louder... closer. My heart rate goes up. I wait. I tense up. I stay still. His footsteps stop.175Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ5EV4dS3n
He must be right next to me. I hold my breath. I wait. I stay still.175Please respect copyright.PENANANrNEikksQi
His hands touch my face. I tense up even more. His hands slide down my body, and my knees get weak. He unbuttons my blouse. His hands slide up my bra. I want to scream. He unzips my pants. His hands slide down my panties. I scream,"Stop!"175Please respect copyright.PENANANth0bAtxqo
"Please!" I whisper.175Please respect copyright.PENANAvWFkVXFjtQ
He pulls down my underwear, and he takes his time. His fingers slide inside of me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQGHOjteV62
I scream loudly.175Please respect copyright.PENANAFKMaBgdylc
My scream echoes throughout the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAUpSBw39kMv
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" he shouts.175Please respect copyright.PENANA4Do1tVhInR
His fingers slide faster. I scream louder.175Please respect copyright.PENANAjtxvo32iNX
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" he shouts. I try not to moan.175Please respect copyright.PENANAGbViqxPf3q
My body shakes. My legs shake. I can't control it. My body gives in to the pleasure. I moan and shake--my body trembles. My moans get louder and louder.175Please respect copyright.PENANAIlDQasS3vO
I say "P-please s-stop.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAMjLQAczG0m
He stops for a moment, before sliding his fingers inside of me again. I stay still, and soon, I begin to come down from my orgasm. I lie there, panting. My hands are tied tightly together. I start sobbing.175Please respect copyright.PENANAgpxGusMIZJ
He pulls his fingers out of me. I wince and groan. I'm sore from the orgasm. I lie there, sobbing. I feel him sit down next to me. He unties my hands. I cry harder.175Please respect copyright.PENANAwwMflKZ7pO
He pulls the blindfold off of me, and I see that there are several men standing around, staring at me. I try to cover myself, but one of the men pulls the blanket off of me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAJuhNbUtZfL
"What's the matter, huh?" one of the men says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAgX22E0nvRW

"Let's see if she's a filthy little cocksucker," another says. I say "Please leave me alone!" They laugh. They grab me. They forcefully violate me. I start sobbing. I'm crying, and I can't stop. My tears are falling down my face.175Please respect copyright.PENANAmmDyw8G7zb
They untie me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAHVrMBoqTgS
I lie there, naked and sobbing. I'm sore, and my butt is sore. I keep crying harder. After a while, I hear a voice.175Please respect copyright.PENANATbl5PgRvAG

He puts his other hand on my head and he pushes my head toward his penis.175Please respect copyright.PENANAzD65B5eHo8

I can't answer. I'm coughing. I cough and gag.175Please respect copyright.PENANAZsxkLLu1U6
"What?" he says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAuEJEYe05Rc
I try to get air. I inhale. I try to get air out.175Please respect copyright.PENANAP73L12JPx8
He shoves it back in my throat and I gag on his penis. I cough and vomit. I continue to struggle. He pushes it in even deeper. I have no strength left. My vision goes black. He shoves it out again.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQEzWJnomDK
"Is this too big for you?" he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAZL6JMjJLOV
I nod.175Please respect copyright.PENANAU8SaWrkBKw
"I understand," he says, "If you need to vomit, go ahead. I know how to treat a child who vomited before."175Please respect copyright.PENANAxknQVpUEGb
I retch. I heave. I vomit again. I finally gain composure.175Please respect copyright.PENANAZsPwlDNn3h
He shoves it back in.175Please respect copyright.PENANA23ACwYDJQO
I decide that vomiting once is enough.175Please respect copyright.PENANA6FG2rM3dJE
He shoves it in deeper.175Please respect copyright.PENANA7xn98WR1oW
I struggle and fight.175Please respect copyright.PENANApE8RV2PNOw
"Stop fighting me," he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaxMhOfV1e3
He cums in my mouth and I spit it out.175Please respect copyright.PENANAv9KPS9YIv4
"Get dressed," he says.175Please respect copyright.PENANAhXyhNWTKu5
I get dressed. He pushes me out the door and shoves me out the door. He closes it behind me. I take the chance to run away. I run away from the cultists as they try to catch me. They shout at me to stop, but I keep running. I manage to escape them and run away. I run all the way back home. I'm safe at last.175Please respect copyright.PENANAnWiqVLVY7a

"What do you mean?" one of the cops asks. "I say you blacked out, and then you woke up and ran away. So did he drug you or something?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA6aXRReR3AB
"I don't know." Suddenly I hear gunshots outside the house.175Please respect copyright.PENANAvf0yNJdMUL
"What was that?" one of the cops asks,175Please respect copyright.PENANALu057wZSEP
"Stay here, we're going to check it out." my dad says, and heads outside. I run outside with my dad. He tells me to hide behind a bush.175Please respect copyright.PENANAVsEWUXEOnm

He has a gun and is shooting at my dad. I watch with tears in my eyes as my dad falls to the ground.175Please respect copyright.PENANANCVaK4ce2r
"You fucking son of a bitch!" I yell as I charge at my kidnapper. I push him down, and beat him repeatedly in the head with my fist. I then take his gun and shoot him in the head with it.175Please respect copyright.PENANAfbTVmLWyOC

175Please respect copyright.PENANAPJSVwSpKRb
175Please respect copyright.PENANAQjjddAwo6E

"I'm sorry, we'll get you someone who can explain it to the judge."175Please respect copyright.PENANAFf5ni2mGNm
I don't really know how much time passes, but I am released from the cell after some time.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlkbexfsZGt
"We'll get you someone who can explain it to the judge, I promise." I am taken to a different cell and left alone. I sob and cry for what seems like hours. I cry about what I did, cry about being in prison, cry about being a murderer. Eventually, I stop crying and just sit there on the bed, surrounded by concrete walls. I fall asleep on the jail bed.175Please respect copyright.PENANAuQSrcuw3vF
175Please respect copyright.PENANAgTrSSSSJEL
175Please respect copyright.PENANAZibiRSdqbK
I am woken up by a man in a suit.175Please respect copyright.PENANADx0aVYXtIW
"Get up." he says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAJhFrc5lxdm

A few moments later, a man walks in. He says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAcTLgXwef4S
"Hello. I'm your lawyer. Now, you can wait here, or you can come with me." I follow the man.175Please respect copyright.PENANAYNfcj8EopS
I am led down a set of stairs, and into a basement. There, I see a large table. I sit at one of the chairs.175Please respect copyright.PENANATrnmPyctuj

"No."175Please respect copyright.PENANA8ec94jDn0h
"You sure? Think hard."175Please respect copyright.PENANAK9qkVBLUs5
I think for a few moments, trying to remember anything else the man said or did.175Please respect copyright.PENANAglLnQ6vXfi
I say, "He killed my father."175Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ5uvUUbQ1
"What?"175Please respect copyright.PENANADNfmrTfvqu
I say, "When I ran away and made it back home, the man tracked where I ran to and shot my father."175Please respect copyright.PENANAyRSDacFqdI
"Your father? I'm very sorry to hear that. You know, I don't think that you're a murderer. I think that you were kidnapped and forced to do what you did." I try to hold back tears. "I'm going to get you a doctor to examine you. I think you might be experiencing some emotional trauma and it's affecting you. Would you like to see a doctor?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA7DDPMdYlTA
"Y-yes.." I say shakily.175Please respect copyright.PENANAcYoKV9IUn7
The man nods, and a man in a suit walks into the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAdcqDu8LQd1
"Ah, there you are." he says, "I have Doctor Dershian here. He wants to examine you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAuPg76dqFMS
I say, "Okay.."175Please respect copyright.PENANALAuykcZgzA

He says, "Hello. Why don't you come with me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAEmhHnpBBPs
I follow him.175Please respect copyright.PENANAsA9dl8keTo
He leads me up the stairs, and into a room. He says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAy0rBITlzaV
"Okay, why don't you tell me what happened?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAxGBmX2uf00
175Please respect copyright.PENANA3jnuw5cCfX
I say, "A-a man kidnapped me and abused and sexually assaulted m-me..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAU0pXHImHXA
"Alright. Take a seat."175Please respect copyright.PENANAG45NN4Bg4H
The man is Doctor Dershian. He asks me a few questions about the events leading up to the murder, and about my emotional state now.175Please respect copyright.PENANAbCKCoYqK41
I say, "More than a few times the man made me think about killing myself.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAW4vhoUi4xB
"Really? You tried to kill yourself?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAVmoE12zkiC
"Yes.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAaiiQWeygtI
"I see. Do you feel suicidal now?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAeqffJHYE1Q
I say, "Not really. I'm just really emotionally shattered."175Please respect copyright.PENANAOb33I68slE
"Okay, I'll get someone to take you to a counselor. You just wait here," Doctor Dershian says, and walks out of the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ9w8pKJ22
I feel like the whole situation is about to make me explode.175Please respect copyright.PENANAG5cTTR6nJp
A few minutes later, Doctor Dershian returns.175Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q1Zm0QQRE
I say, "D-doctor.. I-I feel suicidal right n-now..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAIBKu3suUMI
"Suicidal?" Doctor Dershian asks, "What makes you say that?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAAKLExffphj
I say, "The situation is just too much for me to handle."175Please respect copyright.PENANAEpzhKZMOqy
"I see. Would you like to go to a counselor?"175Please respect copyright.PENANA3H8atRwB5z
"Y-yes, please." Doctor Dershian is about to say something, but is interrupted by the door opening. I look up. In walks a man in a white, long, lab coat. He looks very serious. He says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAEVfjDeX2Sj
"I'm Doctor Kessel. I'm here to evaluate you." I try to stand up but collapse to the floor. Doctor Kessel immediately calls for a nurse. The nurse walks in, and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAmWkhsOsKzq
"What is it?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAerOD3TPz0H
Doctor Kessel says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAGZRyeIgAoB
"This patient is suicidal." I lie on the floor sobbing.175Please respect copyright.PENANAZoiX7uL00m
A few minutes later, a nurse walks back into the room and helps me to my feet. She holds my hand and helps me to a chair. I sit down, and try to stop crying.175Please respect copyright.PENANAcqH4ffUZ2W
I say, "Why me??? Why does this all have to happen to ME??" The nurse looks at me with sympathy, and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAAoIy38P3wj
"I'm sorry, but that's part of the evaluation. We need to find out why you're suicidal. We want to help you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAD4pwcgKFZU
I say, "Why did I have to get kidnapped? Why was I the one to be abused? Why did I have to become a murderer? WHY ME??"175Please respect copyright.PENANALOU6B7v7QW
The nurse shakes her head, and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANA58aZuZ3ltq
"I'm sorry. We'll talk about this after we finish the evaluation. Right now, we need to do some tests." I try to not cry.175Please respect copyright.PENANA9y4ERxbdcM
I feel so helpless. I feel so out of control, and I can't do anything to change this. I go over to a table, and the nurse helps me remove my clothes. I feel like I'm slowly dying inside. I don't even care.175Please respect copyright.PENANAd7aY5bGfQx
The nurse helps me into a gown, and I lie down on the examination table. She cleans and checks my inner and outer thighs, my genitalia, and my breasts. I try to calm down and breathe normally. The nurse says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAF65SCP3qFp
"I need to do a blood draw, and a urine sample. I need your help with this." I comply, and the nurse takes my blood. At this point, I don't even feel the pain. I just want to die.175Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Ykz6F0uQ
After a few minutes, the nurse comes back and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAElYN1WxzQl
"Okay, come with me." I get up and follow the nurse into a different room. I try to maintain my composure. The nurse says, "I need to check your blood pressure. I need you to lay down on the table and get on all fours." I lay down and get on all fours. Suddenly, I start having horrific flashbacks about the kidnapping. My heart rate goes up.175Please respect copyright.PENANAKvSytx74NT
The nurse says, "Okay, your BP is a little high. I need to do an ultrasound to check your kidneys, and a CAT scan to check your brain." I start to shake and cry. I feel like the world is weighing down on me. I want to give up. The nurse tries to console me, and she says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAAVO2nBws5A
"Everything is going to be okay. You'll see your family soon." I slowly calm down. I start to feel a little more at ease. I breathe deeply and start to fall asleep on the table.175Please respect copyright.PENANAHOeXjHjmiN
A few minutes later, I wake up. The nurse is there, and she is smiling at me.175Please respect copyright.PENANAxwIQbJgZWY
I say "Where am I?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAgruVDjU4Oo
"You're in a hospital room. We moved you to a private room because you were so hysterical and it was so crowded. You were also vomiting blood. It's going to be okay."175Please respect copyright.PENANAk3SyIbtfeS
I say, "Am I diagnosed with insanity?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAAq2EO3vVlV
The nurse smiles sadly, "No, but they're still determining that. It's going to be a few days before they give you a diagnosis. In the meantime, you'll be monitored, and you can have visitors."175Please respect copyright.PENANAfdx4JY99GA
I say, "I want to see my mom..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAboWiLmycpL
The nurse interrupts me and says,175Please respect copyright.PENANAoT50fatzxc
"I'm sorry, but I need to do some tests. I'm going to be back to let you know when you can have visitors."175Please respect copyright.PENANAlOJrzIbrA5
"O-okay.." I say as I feel the tears welling up again. The nurse leaves the room, and I cry for a few minutes. I feel so helpless. I can't do anything to help myself.175Please respect copyright.PENANAtl8hMghHdR

"I'm so glad to see you, baby! I've been so worried."175Please respect copyright.PENANAijKZgSePRr
I say, "I feel like I'm going crazy mom. Why did life have to do this to me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAZCxyxtcalA
"I know honey. I've been thinking the same thing. They said they're going to keep you here for a few more days, and they're going to keep an eye on you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAvuGY9pfwtu
"I-I love you mom," I say as I start crying.175Please respect copyright.PENANAqtCUvkQUHo
"I love you too, sweetie. I want to be there with you. I want to do something to make you feel better. Do you think you could pray with me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAa824OAJzvu
"Yes.." I say quietly.175Please respect copyright.PENANAPxcDFaHoSp
I say a prayer with my mom, and I feel calm and at ease.175Please respect copyright.PENANA9xi0F9Ruru
After we pray, my mom asks if I want to talk about what happened.175Please respect copyright.PENANA3sL1exqFX3
I say, "If I start talking about that, I'm going to start sobbing and I won't be able to control myself.."175Please respect copyright.PENANA8pzaoEDLzQ
"I know honey, but you need to get it out. Get everything out. Don't hold anything in. It's eating at you, and it's making you sick."175Please respect copyright.PENANAsAUEipi8Yr
I say, "Why did that man kidnap me?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAHD7aWPsLfZ
"I don't know honey. We'll find out soon. I'll talk to the doctor when he comes in, and I'll find out what's going on. I promise."175Please respect copyright.PENANApNl1K72Wpp
I say, "Once this is all resolved, are the cult members gonna be thrown in prison?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAZvZEa7q2Gf
"I don't know, honey. I hope so. I don't think there's a jury that would convict them. I'll do what I can to make sure that happens."175Please respect copyright.PENANATMenejZlF4
I say, "Okay.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAvgJbvHlNVf
My mom spends the rest of my visit in the hospital room, and we don't say another word to each other. After my visit is over, I spend a couple of hours in the empty hospital room. I start crying again. I feel so helpless, and I can't do anything to help myself. I don't know when I will get another visit, or if I'll ever get out of this hospital. I cry myself to sleep. I wake up, wishing this was all just a bad dream. I hope that when I get out of the hospital, everything will be back to normal, and I'll just live my life with no problems. The nurse walks into the hospital room.175Please respect copyright.PENANATunhSXEa7N
"I'm so sorry to wake you, but I need to speak with you. It's very important."175Please respect copyright.PENANA27uv5NUvmV
I wipe the tears off my face.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaXPnU0650u
I say, "What is it? What's wrong?"175Please respect copyright.PENANALfmpJGtCTU
"Your tests came back, and you tested positive for.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAlT5SQqRuHW

"A sexually transmitted disease. I'm so, so sorry, dear."175Please respect copyright.PENANAQrsHDaIOpw
My heart drops.175Please respect copyright.PENANATlKWhGoccX
I feel so ashamed. I cry myself to sleep again.175Please respect copyright.PENANA03ltvttc6x

175Please respect copyright.PENANAzkWgp5CvVEIn the morning, I get my visitors.175Please respect copyright.PENANAyymCpWt4md
My sister, Charlotte, visits me. She asks me what's wrong. I can't even answer her. I just cry. I feel so ashamed of myself. Charlotte starts to leave the room.175Please respect copyright.PENANAqdLEosL2wg
I say, "Wait!" She stops.175Please respect copyright.PENANA6mKNIRkjGE
"What is it?"175Please respect copyright.PENANArHLTn8MrUJ
I say, "I need a hug.." Charlotte wraps her arms around me, and I cry.175Please respect copyright.PENANAjNR2xNhDKb
I eventually gather the strength to tell my sister what the doctor said.175Please respect copyright.PENANApre0MvXsQY
I say, "The doctor said I have a.. Std..."175Please respect copyright.PENANABbbXfM2YYR
"I know, sis. I'm so, so sorry."175Please respect copyright.PENANAxBYQOVhQ2M
I cry myself to sleep.175Please respect copyright.PENANAY87FbxJxRJ
The next day, I get another visit from my mom.175Please respect copyright.PENANAlbuXMZd1dX
"How are you doing, honey?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAflyebRbQ53
I say, "Horrible.."175Please respect copyright.PENANAkzxdLhepe7
She walks over and sits next to me on the bed.175Please respect copyright.PENANAaN6xdwjrKN
"I heard about you testing positive for a sexually transmitted disease. I'm so sorry."175Please respect copyright.PENANApQqu8I5bnw
I say, "I'm so ashamed..."175Please respect copyright.PENANAWn1dQBOWEx
"It's not your fault, honey."175Please respect copyright.PENANAEogmx3IA1s
I start crying again.175Please respect copyright.PENANACycpfJy5Xo
"I'll get you some tissues, honey. You can cry on them. Cry your heart out."175Please respect copyright.PENANAzLJfRAW5jV
I cry myself to sleep in my mother's arms. I wake up the next morning. I'm not as tired as I was yesterday. Maybe the doctor gave me some new medication, or maybe I'm just getting used to being here. I don't feel any emotions. I feel empty and dead inside. I don't care about anything. I don't feel any guilt or shame.175Please respect copyright.PENANAJAjEnyyEXj
Maybe I'm dead after all.175Please respect copyright.PENANAjjZ3vI9q1t
Maybe this is what it feels like to be nothing. I get a visit from my lawyer.175Please respect copyright.PENANAFtCQpDa71K
"I heard the test results, and I'm here to ask you if you would like to pursue this case. You tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, so the chances of us winning are pretty slim."175Please respect copyright.PENANAzAedP7b7FW
"I don't even know anymore," I say as I shed a tear.175Please respect copyright.PENANApSsVydeG2L
"I understand. If you don't want to pursue this case, then I'll get someone who will."175Please respect copyright.PENANAQ39qsMLTwP
I say, "I still want to win this."175Please respect copyright.PENANAN74jCyxin3
"Well, it's up to you, then. I'll go get our legal team, and we can get started."175Please respect copyright.PENANATlnFtQHPpF
I spend the next few weeks resting in my hospital room. I don't have any visitors. I have forgotten what life is like outside the hospital. I don't even want to leave my hospital room. I spend my days watching reruns of Friends and crying. One day the nurse comes into the room and says, "I've got good news."175Please respect copyright.PENANAMIKfxwMAbR
"Really?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAh84554fKDg
"Yeah, your doctor says you can go home today."175Please respect copyright.PENANAWrnvmFNEgZ
I start crying, and I can't stop.175Please respect copyright.PENANAkrYfisXHtR
175Please respect copyright.PENANAmhq2Xkeau4
175Please respect copyright.PENANAxDSlOYMuxM
175Please respect copyright.PENANAWKAX3CmcxH
I spend my time at home resting. I don't do anything. One day I decide to walk outside.175Please respect copyright.PENANAS0dZaBknxg
I get out my patio door, and I don't turn around and go back inside. I don't know why, but I just have this urge to walk outside.175Please respect copyright.PENANA2kYfBH2Jjj
I stand in the middle of my lawn.The smell of fresh air makes me emotional. I start crying happy tears. I walk over to my flower bed and pick a few flowers to smell. I smell them, and then throw them in the air and watch them float away. They are so pretty, and they smell so good.175Please respect copyright.PENANADmkjDWECf6
My mom opens the front door and says, "What are you doing?" I turn around to see her standing there.175Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nq9TeUXb6
"I wanted to see the flowers."175Please respect copyright.PENANAJO6neKbMaC
"Why are you out of your room?"175Please respect copyright.PENANARsZWfFnH1T
"I don't know. I just felt like walking outside."175Please respect copyright.PENANAi8zjhplbIP
I say, "I've been cooped up in a room for way too long."175Please respect copyright.PENANAYOwQfJUoJa
"Yeah, I know what you mean," my mom says. She picks me up and gives me a big hug.175Please respect copyright.PENANAQHY2UkhenV
"Thank you for being you."175Please respect copyright.PENANAZLt8DVPGok
"You don't have to thank me." I see the next-door neighbor's son walk out to get the mail. I look at him fascinated. He has no fear. He doesn't know what it's like to be scared. He doesn't know what it feels like to live in a nightmare.175Please respect copyright.PENANAKt3E6WTprd
I make a decision.175Please respect copyright.PENANA2FnSBPSJsJ
I walk up to the neighbor's boy and say, "Hi!"175Please respect copyright.PENANAUdJK7bVCyA
"What's your name?"175Please respect copyright.PENANALakxFDtpNn
"Allisa," I say, smiling.175Please respect copyright.PENANAdJFfB5tP8i
"I'm Carter. What are you doing out of your room?"175Please respect copyright.PENANAo0IQQuC1f5
I say, "I just wanted to get some fresh air."175Please respect copyright.PENANAtRbfhMmi8A
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I had this urge to walk outside too." He laughs.175Please respect copyright.PENANA7dfXCK0Nt9
I say, "Well I gotta go back inside.." I go back inside and go to bed. I don't know why I feel so empty. I want to fill this void. I want to find something to fill all of this space.175Please respect copyright.PENANAeSxrFc7D06
