I woke up the next morning, sitting where I had been the night before, I could make out the market stalls being set up in the distance in the town. I got up quickly, brushed my dress down and strolled into town. I kept a lookout for John in case he was here looking for me, I was just about to relax and sit in the shade when I saw him, and he was talking to a naval officer and giving him a picture of someone. Yep, you guessed it; it was a picture of me. I ran in the opposite direction and decided that as John was in town I would go back home and see if I could find some food, as I was incredibly hungry. I reached my house and entered through the back door and went straight to the kitchen where I grabbed an apple. I then headed up the stairs to my bedroom, where I found a small bag and stuffed a few dresses, and some essentials that I would need. I hurried downstairs, dreading to hear the door open and see that John was back, went into the kitchen and crammed some fruit, cheese and other bits of food I could find into my bag.

I had decided that I could make it on my own; I could board a ship and go to England, to search for my mother and father. I knew that it wouldn't be quite that simple but I had to try something. I was about to leave when the front door opened and there in the doorway stood John, blocking my way of escape. "I knew you'd come back for me," he said with a suggestive smile. "Get out of my way!" I demanded. He made his way towards me and grabbed my arm extremely tightly, making sure that I wasn't going anywhere. He walked me up the stairs, with me struggling and kicking out at him, as I did this he just squeezed my arm tighter causing me to yell out in pain. "Shut up!" he shouted at me, I had never seen him look so angry before and I began to get scared, even more scared than I had been last night. What would he do with me?

I soon found out, he made his way up to his own bedroom, dragging me along behind him, pushed me inside and locked the door behind me. I was trapped, this was the only room without a balcony and outside the small window was a vertical drop, which I certainly would not be trying to jump down from. All I could do was wait and pray that something would happen in my favour. I doubted very much that that would happen though.

I had been in John's bedroom for at least 9 hours and it was beginning to get dark outside. I was also very hungry, I heard John make his way upstairs and heard him unlock the door. He came in with a tray of food for me, "I thought you would be hungry by now, so eat up so you'll have enough energy for tonight," he said seductively. I was disgusted with him, but I wasn't stupid enough to refuse his offer of food so I sat down on the bed and ate it all. John watched me the whole time, as soon as I had finished, he took the tray, made his way to the door and just as he was leaving, he said "Till later then, darling. I can't wait."
