Rescue

The next morning she awoke to a pair of rough hands shaking her. As she opened her eyes, she say who the hands it belonged to and screamed while curling into a ball in the far corner of her bed.

The police officer flinched back in surprise at the sudden reaction of the child. He could tell by the condition of her that she was severely abused.

"Hey, it's okay," he told her. He had never even known that she was here. "It's okay, I'm here to take you away from this place," he said reassuringly. It was when she finally looked at him that he noticed that the irises of her eyes were dark red.

"Come along," he said, "You are finally being saved from this dreadful place."

As he gently picked her up he saw her necklace. "That is a really pretty necklace you have ther," he said kindly.

They walked down the stairs to head out to his car that she saw her father. He was lying on the floor in a crumpled position. When she went by she noticed floating numbers and a name above the body. The numbers said zero.

"Sir," another officer called," it appears that he died of a heart attack. Reasons to the cause are unknown."

"Understand. Carry on," he called back.

She was starting to feel tired again, and soon nodded off, knowing the monster would never hurt her again.

The next time she awoke she was lying on a cot covered in a satin blanket. She looked around the strange room and thought to herself, 'This is the first time I've slept in a claen for a while.'

There was a knock on the door and in came a police woman carrying a tray. On it was a bowl of assorted fruits and a glass of milk. There was also another bowl that was steaming and had something orange and long in it. She thought it smelled good and her mouth started to water.

"Well, good morning," the lady called a little too cheerfully. "It's about time you woke up. Here i brought you some Mac and Cheese, fruit, and milk. You need to eat." Soon the lady left the room, and Jasmine started to eat in silence.

When the lady came back, she was carrying something white on her arm with a small green bag. Jasmine was picking and eating the strawberries from the fruit bowl. Almost everything else besides the Mac and Cheese was untouched.

"So your a strawberry fanatic, huh?" she said, surprising Jasmine. She immediately jumped and froze. Her eyes were wide with fear. "Oh no, it's okay, I didn't mean to scare you. My names' Officer Beth Miller, but you can just call me Beth. By the way, I brought you some stuff."

When Beth held up the white thing, Jasmine found out is was a dress. It was a simple tank top dress with small lace and layers. She thought it was pretty. "I think we'd better go get you cleaned up," Beth said. Getting Jasmine bathed and dressed was not eay, but Beth made it through okay. When she finally got a good look at the finished piece, she was smiling. Jasmine's now soft pink hair was up in two ponytails, and sparkling clean.

Jasmine reached her hand up to her neck and when all she found was bare skin, she started to cry, thinking she had lost her mothers' necklace. "Oh no, don't cry," Beth fretted," I have the necklace right here." She pulled it out of the green bag and placed it on her neck. Jasmine finally started to calm down. "That's a very pretty necklace. Promise me that you'll never lose that, okay?" Jasmine slowly nodded her head.

"Come on, there's someone her to see you," Beth said as she took Jasmine's hand and walked out of the room.

Jasmine was watching all the busy people at work in the police station. They walked into Beth's office. There, Beth gave her a pen and a couple sheets of paper. On the opposite side were different math problems, and they were unsolved. As Beth was working, Jasmine was doing something with the paper.

"I'm going to talk to someone right now, I'll be right back." As she got up to leave, she felt a small tugging on her shirt. Jasmine handed her the sheets with all the problems solved. Beth was shocked. These were high school problems!

"Hold on," she said and rushed out of the room. Jasmine looked out the window and she saw her talking to an elderly man.

As she came back into the room, the man was following behind her. "Jasmine, this is Watari," she said gesturing to the man,"He is interested in the problems you solved."

"Hello," Watari said as he knelt down to her level. "Would you like to go home with me?" Jasmine thought about it for a minute, then she slowly nodded her head.
