When Sabrina finally opened her eyes, the lighting was just as dark as in her sleep. She forced her eyes to focus, trying to find anything recognizable in the darkness. Yet, strangeness surrounded her, encased her along with her mounting fear. Struggling to sit up, she groped around with her hands. She needed to sit up, to think about what had happened. She needed to formulate a plan on how she was going to get out of wherever they were holding her, or at least contact someone, anyone, and get some help. If she could just find her cellphone, she'd be able to call the police, or her parents- anyone who could possibly help her out.
She tried not to think about the pain she felt in her left arm, but as she pushed herself up onto her feet, her weight put pressure on her arm. Squeezing her eyes shut at the pain, Sabrina Jackson gasped in a quick breath of air before shoving herself up with one last push on her arms. She let out a small cry in pain as she stumbled, trying to regain her balance. She instantly brought her arm up to her chest, holding it to her with her other hand. Got to find a way out of here, Sabrina thought to herself. She could make out outlines and shadows of objects around the small room she was confined to.
Holding back the tears that threatened to spill over at any moment, Sabrina hobbled over to what she suspected was a door. As she got closer, she realized that it was, indeed, a door. Made fully of steel, she could only imagine how heavy it was going to be to open. As she reached out with her good hand, her other arm still pressed against her chest, she gave the door handle a good tug. It didn't budge, but Sabrina wasn't surprised. What would be the point of kidnaping me if they were going to keep me in an unlocked room? She blamed her lack of thought on the panic that was quickly consuming her.
It's not a big deal, Sabrina told herself as she reached out to the wall, trying to find a light switch of any kind. At least I know my kidnaper and I know that he would never try to kill me. Sabrina walked slowly along, following the borders of the room, searching for any kind of light at all. Or, at least I never thought he'd try to kill me. Now, I'm not sure of anything except that I want to get out of here. If she could just see, it would be so much easier to find a light. Of course, if she could see she wouldn't need any more light.
There has to be some kind of light switch around here somewhere. Why would he keep a room that was completely dark? Sabrina tried to ignore the reason that popped into her head. The reason that told her he wouldn't have a light if he often used this room to trap people in. Stop scaring yourself, Sabrina begged silently. You're only making things worse than if you'd just stay calm and figure out a plan. But, so far nothing she'd thought of had been of an use at all.
At least I'm still alive, Sabrina thought to herself, grateful for that one single reason. She was still alive, which meant she still had a chance of seeing her parents again, of telling her boyfriend Michael that she would like to go to the fall dance with him. She'd be able to tell her best friend Nancy that she really wasn't mad that Nancy had snapped the heal off of her favorite shoe. And I'll be able to tell them all that I love them.
Her hand finally found a switch. Sabrina's heart soared at the idea of finally finding out where she was. If she recognized anything, maybe she'd been here before when she'd been to his house. And if she was in his house, then Sabrina would know a way to get out. She quickly flicked the light switch up.
As white light blasted into the room, Sabrina shut her eyes to keep the sudden light from momentarily blinding her. After a moment, she opened them slowly back up. As she took in the sight around her, her arm began the least of her problems. Screaming at the top of her lungs, Sabrina spun back around and struggled to flick the lights back off.
As she pushed down on it, it didn't move. Don't get stuck now! she yelled to herself, pounding on the switch with all her might. As the lights finally dimmed and gave way to darkness, Sabrina continued to scream. I'm going to die, she thought to herself as she pressed her back up against the wall and sank to the ground. He really is going to kill me. She couldn't believe what she'd just seen.
