WARNING: Mention of Rape, Abuse, and Kidnapping. Don't worry that's just the beginning, it will get happier.

"913 days" Regina said as she used a rock to scratch a mark into the stone wall. She did this so she knew what day it was, what month, she never knew the time, not until that bell rung. By her count, and she could be wrong, tomorrow was her birthday. She would turn 20. It has been almost 3 years since she had been taken. Almost 3 years after Daniels death.

Sometimes he took her out, she stopped trying after the 2nd month. Stopped trying to run, to get away. She hadn't given up tho. No she just knew that when she ran she didn't get far before he found her, before he beat her, before he raped her. So she stopped, worse part about stopping was when he brought her back home he called her a 'Good little girl' and then raped her.

Either way she got raped but this way it hurt less. She fought him on that every time. She would not stop fighting him on that. The day she just laid there and let him rape her was the day she welcomed death. She dreamed of getting out one day, of being rescued. In some ways she was still a child, not yet been out into the world. She was taken right after her love had been brutally murdered.

He wasn't even dead when she was pulled away, he was laying in a pool of his own blood. His head turned to her, he couldn't move. Sometime's when Regina is about to fall asleep she likes to think that maybe after she was taken he was saved. That someone ran up on him and he lived. Or at least didn't die alone on the concrete.

But that is just a dream, a hope. It's not reality. She doubted anyone was looking for her, her mother never cared and her father was to afraid of her mother. She was close to her sister but she doubted that her sister would look for her. Her sister was always wanting to please their mother. So she was on her own. She was alone, in this mans basement.

A dark room, always dark, it had a mattress thrown on the floor and a dirty cover she used to cover up at night when it got cold. When she had to use the bathroom she held it in, she had to wait until it was time to use the bathroom, until he came down and let her out. When he wanted her to bathe he would bring her to his tub, thankfully it was the one time he didn't stay. The one time she could be alone, in the light, the warmth, for a moment she could pretend she wasn't being held captive.

But it only lasted 10 minutes. He only gave her 10 minutes then he came back told her to get dressed, in the same clothes she always wore, and he took her back to the room. Today was different tho. On this day before her birthday (She thinks) it was different. It was quiet. He hadn't been down today. He hadn't been moving around. Did he leave her here?

Locked in a room? Was this how it would end? Starving to death in a concrete room? She heard the door open, and she felt disappointed. He must have just went to the store or something. Was she hoping he left her? Was she hoping to starve to death? Then she heard a scream, a horrible scream, from a woman.

Then she heard shuffling and maybe a phone dialing? She couldn't make it out. She wouldn't scream, no because if she did he would get mad and take it out on her, so she just listened. She heard a muffled voice. The woman sounded panicked. Regina sat down on the mattress and listened. After the voice stopped she heard pacing back and forth. Who was that up there? What was going on?

Would she get in trouble with him for this woman walking in and freaking out? She had no control over it. Would he think she screamed?! Would he think she tried to escape? Would she get beaten? She hated this. It was the worse part, the waiting, wondering if he was mad.

Then she heard the door open and some more voices, male voices. 5 maybe 6. She heard shuffling and looking around. She heard talking, then she heard someone walking down the stairs to her door. "What's in there?" She heard a male voice ask "I don't know. Open the door" Regina feared the worse. She backed up to the wall and tried to hide. She heard the lock be broken and the door start to open. Two men walk in, they were wearing suites and gloves, one holding a note pad and the other looking at the surroundings

"Do you think he was looking for someone to put in here? Maybe found someone and she got a jump on him?" Regina thought these men must be cops. Had he died? Been killed? What if this was a test? He was testing her? That what if these men were his buddies and if she ran to them begging for help they would all take turns with her as a punishment?

She couldn't take the risk. She scooted back and hit the a rock making a noise. "Hello?" One of the men asked. He got up and walked closer to Regina "Hello" He smiled and looked at the other officer with sadness, Regina was terrified. "I am not here, i promise i won't run." She held her legs close to her chest and the man looked at her "Ma'am, your okay now. We are police officers, we can help you." Regina looked between them.

Still thinking this was a test. She cleared her throat and smiled. "I am fine. I want to be here. I love my husband." She lied. But over all this time, and all his test she got great at lying. So you'd believe her. But this cop saw right through it. He held out his hand and said "This is not a test. We will not hurt you. We only want to help you." Regina shook her head

"I do not need help. My husband will be home soon and he will want you to leave. Please leave." the cops looked between each other "Would you please follow us?" He stood up and Regina looked at him. She can't leave! Not with out his permission. She shook her head

"I can't leave." Then she corrected herself "I mean i don't want to leave. This is my room." She sounded so believable! Neither cop believed her tho. They were trained to spot this. To spot lies, and terrored faces, even if they are covered by a mask. A mask that Regina had learn to put up.

"What's your name?" the other cop finally spoke up. It had been so long since her name had been spoken around her. So very long. It took her a moment to say it "R-regina."

She regretted her words "I mean Eva, my name is Eva." That's what he would call her. The cops looked at each other. "Please follow us ma'am" The cop held out his hand for her to take. She was hesitant. She was not going to take it but, she did. She took his hand. "My name is Riley." He smiled and she stood. She wasn't fast. She barely ever got fed and when she did get fed it wasn't much. She hadn't been fed today. Se hated to be 'fed' like she was some dog, a pet.

When she started to walk she was slow and the officers shared a look of sympathy. They got her up the stairs and she looked over, seeing the dead body laying on the floor, she fell to the ground. On her knees, she wanted to cry. She was free. She was relived. She hated him.

She looked at his dead body and slowly started to cry. To the untrained eye it look as if she was grieving, but she wasn't, she was happy. Those tears, were tears of joy. She could go home. She could see if Daniel actually did survive.

It was always just a dream she never thought she would find out about. In a way she did give up. But she fought him. She always fought. But now, now she was free, she had no one to fight. She could be on her own, she could eat when she wanted, bathe when she wanted, leave her room, never be locked up again. And most of all, NEVER be held down and forced into sex again. She looked up at one of the police officers and said "Is...is it really over?"

One of the officers put his hand on her shoulder and said "Yes, it's really over."


She sat in the hospital room, awaiting the doctor to come back. The doctor, Ruby, had just checked her over she just needed to go and get some more prescription paper. So Regina sat in the room, alone. Her thoughts traveled to what had happened to the man that kidnapped her? She never learned his name she was only allowed to call him 'My King' which she hated.

She wondered if she could ask one of the officers the name of the man? Would they tell her, be able to? After a few more minutes the nurse came back and gave her prescriptions and sent her on her way. Regina winced at the sunlight as she walked out of the hospital. Would she always do that she thought.

"Ava!" A new cop, he had only been on the force for a year, yelled out 'her name' and Regina froze at that. She didn't move, the cop put his hand on her shoulder and she flinched. "Ma'am? Are you alright?" Regina looked at him with pure hatred. "THAT IS NOT MY NAME!"

She knows that she told the other detectives that was in fact her name, but she, well she thought that he was testing her. Then no one called her that so she didn't bring it up. The cop looked over his notes and said "I'm sorry, ma'am, but i read...-" Regina walked away from him and headed towards the car that she came in. She saw the guy that led her out of that room.

Riley...

He saw the look on her face and the scalded the officer. "Officer Nolan, what did you do now?" Riley asked and Regina shook her head. "It was nothing, it was my fault." She admitted and Riley seamed to get angrier at officer Nolan. "What happened?!" He asked officer Nolan and the man winced. "I...I called her Eva...That is what is wrote down!" He defended and Riley rolled his eyes and told him to leave.

Riley gestured for Regina to get into the car and she was hesitant but she did. He drove her to the police station and helped her up. When they were sitting down he started asking her about the room, how he got her, when he got her, how long had she been in there, all kinds of questions. Then he follows that up with telling her that the man had a will. and Regina interrupts him.

"What is his name?" Then she winces "I'm sorry for interrupting you! I just never got to know his name, i was always made call him 'My King' and...I just want to know his name.." Riley smiles at her and says "It's fine, I'm not mad. His name was Leopold." Regina signed...was she disappointed? In her head she would always play a game, to pass the time. When she didn't want to be there she would play this game. A guessing game. She would guess his name.

She never one guessed Leopold. The her eye brows nit together and she asked "Wait, you mentioned a will? Why are you telling me about his will?" she was curious. "You're in it. I don't know the specifics of it but my brother can tell you if you'd like?" Regina thought she should go home, but then she thought where is home now? Her true love had been murdered, She hadn't seen her mother long before the kidnapping.

She didn't even know if her mother knew she was missing. Was she missing? Where is her sister? She didn't have anyone right now, so she didn't have a home to go home to. Maybe thats why she said she'd see him? So she talked to the detective some more and then about 15 minutes later the lawyer walked in.

"Hello, my name is Robin Locksley." He smiled and extended his hand.
