“How does this one look?” Tanya asks me holding up a short yellow in colour summer dress, she held it against her body whilst taking a look in the mirror, this task she had done many times over already.“As I had said the fourth time you have held up that dress, it would look perfect on you.” I smile turning to look at her where she only shrugs her shoulders, she has a tendency of being very meticulous when it comes down to what she wears for any event. “I want to make sure I have the correct outfit in case John pops the question tonight, my engagement photos must be only perfection.” She exclaims throwing the summer dress behind her where it lands on the floor, but once she had registered the sentence which had left her lips, she takes a glance over to me a little worried.I roll my eyes with a little smile using this method to let her know I was okay; she smiles before I turn to look back into the mirror to make sure my makeup wasn’t running due to the heat. “It’s okay for you, le
The morning soon came which meant it was time to leave, by tonight I’ll be back home getting ready to start work again tomorrow. This week has been the most fun I have had in years which makes it bittersweet to leave, yes, I miss my home and can’t wait to see everyone. But in some odd way, it feels as though this place is where I really belong and leaving it is causing my heart to ache. Being here in the middle of nowhere deep in the woods, has been the only place I haven’t had to deal head on with what had happened. There are no reminders of what I have been through or have lost, it’s as though time has frozen in a sense and I’m finally, able to breath. I had just packed my bag and was scanning my room in case I have forgotten something, the bedroom which I had called home with a week only remaining me the freedom I felt whilst staying here, which will soon be taken away once I return to normal life. When I see I had everything, I pick up my bag and head for the door. Once I was in
I soon give up my attempts to smack the door hard enough to either get someone’s attention to come and free me, or somehow break through the door myself. I even attempted to climb out of the window, but as like I had expected, it was also locked. The only thing which I could do now was pace, my worried thoughts of what Asher may want with me begin to consume my mind. The many questions which I had also swirling around my head in the process, why has this man taken me? What does he want with me? Was this whole encounter planned or was it spontaneous? There are so many unknowns, but all I’m able to do is sit in this room and wait for whatever is planned to happen to happen! After what feels like hours of pacing, I take a seat at the very foot of the bed with a sigh. My hands hurt incredibly, but I was much too nervous to even take a glance at the damage. I could feel there was an object piercing through my skin, which told me it would be better if I take a look. With a deep breath in
I jolt awake to the sun blinding me, I sit up straight a little where I was initially disorientated, my brain hadn’t quite remembered what had happened yesterday and where I was. But after a few short seconds, realisation of what did indeed happen came to mind. I sigh looking around the room, when I first arrived here, I was much too preoccupied with the matter of escaping this place that I didn’t take time to have a look around. The room was quite big, probably double the size of my bedroom back at my apartment. The layout of the room seemed very rustic, whoever designed this place really liked the country vibe. There was a door in front of the bed which I discovered was the bathroom, which was also huge with a shower and a bath! To the left of that door stood a dark wood chest of drawers, which I’m unsure if there are any clothes in there to start with. To the right of the bed stood a large bookshelf, many dark coloured books to match the dark wood of the objects in the room, it’s
I sat on the window ledge looking out into the distance, what seemed to be like such a lovely day was mocking me in a sense. I wanted nothing more than to leave this stuffy room and feel the warm sun on my skin, but I also want nothing more than to eat something and especially, have something to drink. I turn my head back to bed where the plate of food still sat, the glass of water on the beside table seemed to mock me in a sense too. I can’t allow Asher to see how much I really needed that; the wall of residence has to stay up. But the mouthwatering food looking back at me was causing that stance to be hard, perhaps a tiny unnoticeable bite wouldn’t hurt. I was about to climb from the window seat when I heard the key being placed into the door, I snap out of my trance and put my legs back up on the windowsill and turn my head to look out into the distance. After a few short seconds, I hear the door open where I turn my head once again. But to my shock and slight disappointment, it
I battle my way deeper into the woods, with every step that I would take further, the thicker the woods seemed to get around me. I suspected the woods would thin out soon and I’d be able to find a main road, from then it would be smooth sailing to finding a town to help me. But with every tree that I would pass, even more would appear ahead of me, it was as though this wood was never ending. I begin to get lightheaded as I went, my body was begging me to turn around or even try to get some water, but I couldn’t hear any running water which would indicate a stream was somewhere close. My once fast and steady pace had turned into a slow stumbling motion, the tree roots, and the uneven ground below me not aiding my escape. I had reached a huge oak tree but had to stop, the entire world was spinning so much I couldn’t tell what way I was to go. I place my hand onto the tree and look down at the ground, I hoped if I was able to stop for a few moments I would start to feel normal once aga
After a few more hours in the hospital room, the doctor from before informed us I was okay to leave but I was still need to be monitored over the next few days. I was a little confused on why everyone was so panicked over me not drinking for a few days, but it seems as though they weren’t taking any chances. He spoke mostly to Asher, going over how much water and food he wanted me to have on a daily basis going forward, something about not overwhelming my body with a ton of food. Asher thought it would be best if he and the doctor went into more details outside the door, he didn’t want me to also get panicked with the longer the doctor remained in the same room. I sat crossed legged on the bed waiting for their conversation to come to an end, the overpowering silence was allowing my brain time to recall the terrifying memories I have locked away. I attempt to shake them off, but one got through the block.The sounds of sirens drawing closer to me is what begins to bring me around, I
After a few more moments, we had arrived back in the room I had previously escaped from. But this time, the window was open, so it was nowhere near as stuffy as it was when I was trapped in here last time. I thought Asher would just dump me onto the bed as like he did before when I was first brought here, but instead, he walks over to the bed and crouches slightly so I could easily jump down. He turns to make sure I was safe before heading over to the window, I guess the little air I thought I would be getting is gone, perhaps they were airing out the room until I was brought back to the prison. “Yay I’m back in my own personal prison, windows and doors are all locked just in case I escape again!” I exclaim laying down on the bed facing the ceiling, I suspect I was hoping on the way back that things would be different now, me and Asher bonded back in the hospital but apparently, I was wrong. “Do you think I enjoy treating you like this; I would want nothing more than for you to be
