*Victoria' p.o.v*
I awoke in a musty smelling room. From the looks of it, it was an apartment room, and it was small and dirty. (Where am I?) I thought to myself. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a streak of blood run down my face, and my head started to hurt.
I remembered now. That man hit me over the head. I didn't even know he was watching me walk to the bathroom. A roach crawled up the wall and flew towards me. Disgusted, I quickly got off the bed and jumped away from it.
I noticed why the room stunk. It was a moldy sandwich under the bed that was sprouting something greenish/blue. I had to resist the urge to throw up. Suddenly the door knob turned. I got scared, so I hid in the closet. Walking in the room, that freak Sandman searched around for me. "Oh, come on princess. You can't hide from me. I know where you are!" Sandman called out.
I tried to hide further into the closet, until I stepped on an old squeaky toy that belonged to a dog he used to own. Hearing the noise from that stupid toy, Sandman swung the door open and peered down at me. "Found you!" He said with a hoarse sounding laugh. Grabbing me by the arm, he pulled me closer to him. I tried to push him away, but he yanked at me violently, yanking my arm. He nearly snatched it out its socket. I yelped in pain. "I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? See what happens when you don't listen to me? You get hurt, and I don't want to hurt you. I love you," he cooed, trying to sound as sweet and sincere as possible.
"I hate you," I said, spitting at him, but that only made him laugh.
He forced my face close to his. "I'm going to give you back to your uncle soon, so don't you try anything funny. Doom promised me your hand in marriage, and soon we'll be man and wife, and we can play games, if you know what I mean," Sandman hinted.
That was the last straw. Thinking quickly, I kneed him right in the crotch and ran out the door. I was so close to freedom that I could taste it! Sandman screamed at me to get back here while he held his family jewels, rolling around like a pig on the floor.
As soon as I opened the door, my heart stopped. There, standing at the doorstep, was my uncle, the main person I was trying to avoid this entire time. "Victoria, there you are. I was worried sick about you. Sandman here called and told me he found you begging for food on the streets," my uncle said.
My eyes went wide. Sandman, that disgusting lying piece of trash. He hired someone to kidnap me. "But, uncle! He's lying! I…" But before I could finish, he cut me off.
"Victoria, when will you learn that Sandman is a trustworthy man? He'd never lie to me," Uncle Doom replied ignorantly. "I was thinking. Tomorrow is your 16th birthday, and I think it's time for you to tie the knot. Sandman here even offered me an expensive diamond for your hand in marriage. The wedding will begin tomorrow," Doom replied.
"What Ewwwwwww! No!" I snapped.
Sandman wobbled from the room, still holding his crotch. That bastard was really starting to piss me off. "Doom, I'm so glad you're here. Victoria here, she kicked me for no reason in the crotch. All I did was ask her if she was thirsty," Sandman lied.
"Don't worry, Sandman. She'll apologize to you on your honeymoon night…" Doom replied.
I felt like my whole world was shattering. This couldn't be happening to me.
