I take my seat in the back of the class and try not to look bored out of my mind. Private school wasn't for me, after insisting that I want to attend public school my parents reluctantly accepted. I'm relieved to be with normal people who don't brag about their family lines or wealth.

"Katherine?"

" Yeah" My eyes snapped forward, Standing with her hand on her hips my teacher frowns. Everyone turns to watch me.

"Honestly pay attention this is why you're not passing my class. Tsk tsk tsk how would your father react if he saw you were failing AP English language and composition?" She shakes her head before resuming teaching. Slowly the eyes of the room resume watching the board. Why does she have to embarrass me like that? My lips curl into a primeevil snarl before I bite them to prevent myself from snarling. The bell rings and I try to slip out of my last class. Hopefully I can sneak out without her seeing me. Hiding behind a few kids making their way through the small classroom I escape and take off down the hall. The air escapes my lungs as I sprint towards home.

Beep

Oncoming traffic doesn't startle me as I sprint through red lights. My home is in my reach I turn the key in the door and close my eyes.

"Crap"

Both my parents wait for me both staring at me. My mother tries to hide how upset she is but her hands tapping on the countertop give her away. My father doesn't even try to hide it he bluntly speaks. "Failing classes!" His aging face turns red as he shouts.

"I'm sorry..." Before I know it I'm halfway up the stairs and I slam my room door shut. My chest heaves and warm tears slide down my face. Slowly crawling to my bed I push my face into my pillow.

"Katherine! Get back here!"

"Katherine! Open this door now!"

"Katherine!" Their voices start to fade.

Even asleep I can hear dishes break and things being thrown can be heard downstairs. I hear my parents argue, my mother raises her voice the loudest. I use my pillow to cover my ears. How can they pretend everything's fine the next day? I drift back to sleep slowly going in and out of sleep.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" A blood curdling scream wakes me my entire room is engulfed in flames I can't think as I stumble out of bed. Tripping down the stairs the entire house is engulfed in flames. The thick fumes of tantalizing black smoke fills my lungs. I struggle to breath as the kitchen appears in my line of sight.

"Mom! Dad!" I wheeze.

Stumbling over something I see their bodies. The sight of their melted flesh and mangled bloody bodies sends me into a vomiting spell.

"Mommy! Daddy!" My vision starts darkens as I stumble over, landing on the granite kitchen floor. A hooded man appears snickering over their deceased bodies his long clothing covered in blood. His eyes the fair color of purple, he smirked i couldn't see his face as he held a bloodied machete in his hand. Is this how I die?

"No!" My fingers ball into fists as I charge at the man only to slip on my own vomit I landed on the floor hardly my head hurt from the deafening impact. It only sent the man into a fit of laughter. More hooded figures gradually appeared."Let's take sunshine here and let's go." The man laughed between mid sentence. My fingers felt shaky as I tried to crawl towards my mother's body.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean what I said." Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Pathetic"

"Ahhhhh!" Screeches forced their way up from my chard lungs as they forcefully yanked my hair, my feet thrashed as I tried to hold onto my hair which felt like it would rip from my skull.

"God, shut this bitch up." A hooded figure groaned.

Slam

Darkness

"Dad.." I try to scream but my throat feels burnt and charred. A tiny greying room appears in my blurred vision, gray paint appears cracked and shattered on the dirtied walls, in one corner a foul smelling pale bucket slooshed around, closer to the bronzed double padded which had a tiny opening with a blue tray placed in it. A cold tingling sensation grips my left foot a long metal chain stretches to the wall. It's long cord jingles as I try to remove it. My clothing appeared to be a simple blue hospital gown which was torn, dirty and smelled as if it had been worn by many people. "Mommy! Help me!" My voice rasps and burns as I try to scream. But I cannot speak over a whisper. My vision starts to darken, I can hear voices again.

"Rise and shine sunshine!" The man with the hoodie appears smirking his toothy grin shows his pleasure.

"I...want to go home." I whimper my lip quivering. "Please let me go"

"Hahaha oh this is so cute. I want to go home." He chuckles mimicking my voice. "How about you click your heels three times and you'll be home, sunshine. Can you click your heels for me. Hmm?" His rancid breath drifted into my face as he leaned in closer smiling."Your mother was pretty, killer body and she gave good head"

"Fuck you! Go to hell!" I spat in his face.

Slam

The force of his kick nearly dislocated my jaw, he makes matters worse by grabbing a fist full of my hair and slaps me hard. "Shouldn't have done that bitch. You're lucky we don't have enough girls. Otherwise I'd tear into you like the others. Such beautiful faces and may I say killer bodies. I have a large collection want to see?" He sneers his sharp canine tooth pokes out again. "I'd love to add you."

"Your revolting."

Slam slam slam slam

"Shouldn't have said that now I have to break your spirit sunshine. When I'm done you'll won't even remember rainbows." He snickered. Forcefully kicking my curled up body, the force of his kicks make my insides rench, even trying to distract myself couldn't prevent the pain. His kicks felt like bowling balls against my ribs. He didn't stop here, he laughed as he kicked my face and even burst with joy at the sight of my bleeding skull. His boot laid heavily on my head. "Remember your place. You have no home, you have no family, your nothing, you're worth nothing, and your only life existence is to be sacrificed. Your worthless sunshine, worthless. Three days confinement, no food and no water since you won't behave. See you in three days sunshine." He snickered blowing a kiss before exiting through the iron doors.

How do I escape from here? Please God I beg you lord to save me from this pain, amen. Tears welled in my eyes as I silently read myself a prayer, my body curled into the corner. Painful screams and laughter echoed through the doors, women screamed in agonizing pain, occasionally there was silence. Silence and the sound of something heavy being dragged down the hall, I slowly drifted in and out of sleep. The low rumbling of my hungry stomach awoke me from my slumber multiple times, the pangs felt like knives against my arms which instinctively curled to comfort my aching belly. Why didn't i eat breakfast? Three days I'm going to be in here without food or water. Who are these people?
