*THREE DAYS LATER*

It's been three days since I returned to this everlasting life called hell...

I got out of the ICU yesterday, the male Doctor said that I need to take it easy and rest. Also to not cause any more trouble with the next companion that I get. Like I'm even going to get a new one... especially since that idiot probably wrote something in my report that would make no one want me and me... being stuck here forever.

I lied on my now nasty bed... and yes I still have the same room as last time... I let my thoughts go wild with thinking that I may never get out of here to I may be executed and to possibly never get to return home. Oh did I forget to mention that they took all of our electronics? Yeah... we can't really get ahold of anyone honestly. It's like prison but worse.

My thoughts get interrupted when I hear a loud knock on my Door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

A male staff opened my door... trust me I wish I was my brother but I don't care anymore.

" come down to the main lobby in 5 minutes. The supervisor wants to speak with you about your actions a few days ago." He told me as he closed the door.

Great... they are probably gonna send me off again or kill me. One of those options.

I get myself prepared and ready. I walk down to the main lobby and I see the manager, the supervisor, and some one else that I don't even know. What's going on here? I thought.

They told me to sit down at a chair they put out for me. So I sat down and listened to what they had to say.

The manager suddenly spoke " Miss Winters, do you know why we called you down here?"

I shook my head no as a response.

The supervisor cleared his throat and said " You are the first one ever in history for this program to come back in 1-2 days time and get punished for your actions. For that we have to let you go."

My spirit beamed up and I spoke " Sir, does that mean I get to go home?"

Please say yes... I thought

" no exactly, you will be staying with one of our top caretakers. His name is Henry. Since you have such horrible injuries from your legs, side and your chest. You could have died if one of our second- in-command didn't see you and took you to the ICU right away. Darling... I'm sorry but, due to your injuries you can't be bought from a companion buyer. We don't want our customers have a bad reputation about us." The supervisor responded.

" I have a question.", I asked.

"Go ahead"

"Since I have to stay with the caretaker, is that my forever home?"

Then he responded " no darling, once one of our top doctors say that you are well and healthy again, you will return here and be bought like everyone else. Also if you behave I will completely remove the previous buyers hateful comment about you. He said and I quote " She is very stubborn, doesn't listen, and disobeys every order. She could not complete her tasks that was given by me. She had a very bad attitude. And etc so forth. Do not buy her cause you will regret it and just waste your money." I know your family well... I knew your father as we were childhood friends. But I know you have no such attitude or anything of a sort. So if you behave I will void it completely. Understand Sophia?"

I nodded my head yes.

"Good, you will be leaving right away to go to the caretaker. We have new buyers coming in, in about 10 minutes so we need to get everything prepared. Go grab your things and meet us by the entrance in 5." He said to me

I nodded in understanding and walked back to my room quickly packed everything I had left with me and got to the entrance. The male staff from earlier was waiting for me and told me to get everything in the car and get in and buckle up which I did. We drove a long 1-2 hours it seems and we finally arrived at this nice log cabin. We pulled up and as we did, we saw Henry walk out the front door.

We both got out and I gathered my things and he came to me and said " welcome, I'm the care taker. I'll be taking good care of you while your in healing and I'll make sure your never bored. I'm not like those companion buyers that make you do things, help Yourself to any food you want and bed and bath time will not have a schedule. You are free to roam around in the cabin as long as you don't venture outside of it. Okay? Those are the only rules I can think of so come on in and enjoy it while you can"

I thanked the driver and Henry for letting come here and I entered the cabin.

I went up a flight of stairs and entered a room that was a pretty beige color with light brown wooden floors. It had a nice comfy bed with fluffy blankets. And just everything for a relaxing vacation it seems like. I unpacked everything and looked out the window with the beautiful sunset.

Well... at least I didn't die. Maybe this Henry is a bit nice than I think. I hope he won't use his kindness to get to me in any harmful way.

I got into bed and let the beautiful sunset take over... the fact that it was the most beautiful thing I seen. Made my heart flutter with happiness and warmth for the very first time... in along time actually... it reminds me of my mom... oh mom... why did this happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? I hope you are watching over me and protecting me from evils harm... as the sunset more and more into darkness I feel into my deep slumber... the nicest sleep I've gotten in a long time.

Maybe... my life isn't too bad after all.
