Chapter 2
It all happened on a Friday evening. I usually stayed in my bedroom for most of the time I lived in that house because I was scared, very scared. I lied on my bed that evening and started to cry when I noticed a photograph in a golden frame, hanging on the wall. I knew that this photograph had not been on the wall before. On the back of this photograph, there was a message. From a person named Doctor. It said:
Melody Pond,
A story is always open to new beginnings. Yours can too, though you think your life is over. Never give in to them, no matter what. You stay true to your beliefs. You find it hard I know, but you'll get out pretty soon, I promise you that Melody. Don't look for me; it'll get worse if you do.
This letter gave me hope. I would find this doctor, I thought to myself. I would find him and he would take me away from the horrific nightmare.
Just then, the door to my room opened and I saw Madame Kovorian standing opposite me with her cold eyes flaming into mine. 'What's this?'She cried slyly as she snatched the photograph out of my sweaty palms. ''Got a message from a Doctor, have you child?''
I shook my head nervously. 'Who are you?' I said instead of answering her.
She laughed manically. ''What did I tell you, child?'' She grabbed me by the collar as I whimpered. ''Never ever ask questions. Is that clear? Maybe I shook take the privileges off from you, do you want that? You can live in the streets for all I care.''
I closed my eyes, hoping that she would disappear when I opened them. It didn't work. ''Good. I'm glad you seem to understand,'' I heard her say as she walked out of my bedroom and slammed the door shut. I didn't want to risk another confrontation with Kovorian, so I decided to get some sleep.
I wasn't able to sleep in ages; my mind always was fixed on one thought, the fact that I had nobody in this place, no matter what I did. Crying kind of made everything feel better; it was the way I could take my feelings out rather than just bottling them up. But this time, it was much different for me and for once I was happy.
I slept all throughout the morning the next day until Midday, until I got woken up by Kovorian. And it was the best sleep I'd ever had in ages.
