You stare out the window at the world outside, the lush green trees, the flowers beginning to bloom for spring, and the grass you have not touched for so long. The cult members walk through the mountain hideaway they call home, dressed in their long yellow robes and living inside small cottages. They all look so happy, and you wonder if any of them even know about you. You've been here for several weeks, living as a pet for their leader whom they call Father, and not once have you been happy during that time. You've mostly just been scared and homesick.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qY7mxNkwa
Your life as a pet is very degrading. You aren't allowed on furniture, you're not allowed to speak unless spoken to, and you're not allowed to do anything without the permission of Father, whom you are forced to address as Master. You aren't even called by your name. Instead, you are simply called Pet. Right now you're sitting on the ground inside Father's study, which is in a building known as the Community Center, staring out of the window.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbCMggjw7a
The study is large and furnished with a desk and chair, some bookshelves with many old books, and that's about it. The door to the room creaks open and Father steps inside, his golden hair and eyes sparking in the sunlight. He walks over to his desk and sees you staring out the window.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAfoRbv3fw

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9z8WD5XwL
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXBJnX4Eo1
He sighs and sits down in his chair. "What is it, child?" he asks, with a tone that makes me feel like he is disappointed in me. "Why are you looking out the window?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KHYNylub1
"I just want to go home," I say.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaCSrI5C1C
Father sighs again. "Child, I know you miss your home, but we're not going anywhere for a while." He sits back in his chair. I start to cry, and Father stares at me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweo9up47Uz
"Why are you crying?" he asks, with a small amount of anger in his voice. I cry even harder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0NSg6zCNb
Father sighs.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa3fKjxapd
I say "I don't want to stay here!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqboH7u0Mbm
Father gets up from his chair and walks over to me and kneels down in front of me. I look at the ground and Father grabs my chin and forces me to look at him. I look into his eyes. His eyes are cold, like stone. He stares at me with no emotion whatsoever.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7mqn13Y9n
There's no compassion, no sympathy. I'm just a thing to be used. He will use me for his own benefit, and then he will get rid of me. I need to get out of here. I stand up quickly and bolt for the door.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6ivRTHnw
"Stop!" he shouts, but I already hear his footsteps behind me. I open the door and run out. I run past the cult members, who only stare at me in awe, some whispering among themselves. I run until I come to a large oak tree. I climb the tree, which is only a few feet away from the ground. I find a branch that I think is strong enough to hold me, and climb up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyNjKsYktM
I can hear Father's footsteps getting closer. I hide myself in the branches of the tree.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriSB2Y0hUt
Father comes to the tree, his footsteps getting closer and closer to the tree. He stops, staring at the tree.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX7upijt7V
"Pet, come down from the tree."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU8Cf8O0rP
I stay silent.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16pg0sJZa
"Pet, I know you're in there. Come down from the tree right now or else I won't only punish you, I'll make your siblings suffer too. Do you want that to happen?" I come down from the tree and land on the ground with a thud. Father grabs me, and I struggle against his grip, but I can't escape.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK1RlcM2ZE
"Come with me, child." I am dragged along by Father.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAgz30xBxK
I struggle as I walk with him, but I can't get away. We walk for what seems like forever, and then we finally come to a large, circular room. I look around the room. The room is circular, with no windows, and only two doors. One door is at the very center of the room, while the other is at the very edge.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IMBHlHByr
I struggle against Father, who only laughs at me. I struggle against him for what seems like an eternity, but he keeps a firm grip on me, and I can't get away. I sigh and decide it's best to just give up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR0MwTAaTR
Father grabs my chin, and I look at him.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDxTua5n4
"Don't make me have to punish you, child."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6LxbhJKhx
I say, "What are you going to do to me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh3Jyc9gwN
Father smiles. "I'm going to punish you in a way that you'll enjoy." He releases me. I drop to the ground, exhausted..174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgi8wvPq1H
I say, "Please don't hurt me."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DGPprEbHo
Father laughs. "I'm not going to hurt you, child. I'm going to make you scream. I'm going to make you wish you were dead."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwZp0RZRyZ
I say, "Please don't!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgdUojGxy2
Father laughs. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But I will make you wish you were dead, child."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDUGMbdZbP
I say, "What does that mean?" Father laughs. He picks me up and throws me on the bed.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ743HfvQ28M
"You'll find out soon enough, child."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXyP3uJp90
Then he leaves the room, closing the door behind him. I wait.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMECKjxbsLH

It's the last day of the school year. Finally... I've been waiting for summer vacation since the first day of the school year. I'm almost halfway between the school and my house, feeling happier than ever. Suddenly... darkness. I would have never thought that the last day of my sophomore year would be the last normal day of my life..174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQiMCHABcU
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx90keY9VMU
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIEhj1BdCG
I wait for what seems like forever, but he eventually comes back. He sits on the chair by the door. He looks at me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcTid8WEzo
"Are you ready, child?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq1QnRGwvM
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaWErBZAiD
I nod and say, "Y-yes."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBap0gJADFw
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wRHXnKSjv
"Good. Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to bind your hands together. Then I'm going to blindfold you. Then, I'm going to have you stand in the middle of the circle."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARppdJgvBv
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0XmR0l8Ae
I say, "Okay.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ekv3K9nq4
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy3ZLWgU3o
I stand there, and Father ties my hands together, then blindfolds me. Father takes out the blindfold and places it over my eyes. I feel his hands on my shoulders, and start to feel uncomfortable.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Sm1IRw4R
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDp8DFYhxF
I hear him say, "Bend your knees and keep your eyes forward." I do as I'm told.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC4wCHfLwT
He says "Now, walk forward, slowly."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKTCMWaM4v
I feel his hands on my lower back and begin walking. I walk forward, and my feet move, taking me forward. My legs continue walking, taking me further and further away from Father. My heart is pounding in my ears. Then, I reach the center of the circle.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG2C23sk1U
Father says "Good. Stay there."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YgfrPjONV
I feel his hands on my shoulders. I hear him say, "Don't look back, child. It'll make things much worse." I stay there. Then, I hear Father's footsteps. I hear his footsteps stop. I stand perfectly still. Father says, "Well, well, well. Look at you." I wonder what's going on. I don't move, even though I can't see. I wait. I stand perfectly still and wait. I hear his footsteps walking toward me. I wait.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunjwYdJYH0
I stand perfectly still. His footsteps stop. His hands grab my shoulders, and I tense up. His hands push me down. I fall to the ground, and my head smacks into the cold, hard ground. I wince. I lie there, waiting. I wait for a long time, but then I hear his footsteps. They get louder... closer. My heart rate goes up. I wait. I tense up. I stay still. His footsteps stop.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ea5zaxgO
He must be right next to me. I hold my breath. I wait. I stay still.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZk37DQVsF
His hands touch my face. I tense up even more. His hands slide down my body, and my knees get weak. He unbuttons my blouse. His hands slide up my bra. I want to scream. He unzips my pants. His hands slide down my panties. I scream,"Stop!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNrxuJxedL
"Please!" I whisper.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQgxFAekXK
He pulls down my underwear, and he takes his time. His fingers slide inside of me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvuwYv2VDD
I scream loudly.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIzl82J6z
My scream echoes throughout the room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2NJe027iI
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" he shouts.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBLE9wBVPW
His fingers slide faster. I scream louder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcVoALp1yp
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" he shouts. I try not to moan.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ZEWlxoUr
My body shakes. My legs shake. I can't control it. My body gives in to the pleasure. I moan and shake--my body trembles. My moans get louder and louder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBOHQKrAN1
I say "P-please s-stop.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5m6nyH5E4
He stops for a moment, before sliding his fingers inside of me again. I stay still, and soon, I begin to come down from my orgasm. I lie there, panting. My hands are tied tightly together. I start sobbing.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpmlzO9r2d
He pulls his fingers out of me. I wince and groan. I'm sore from the orgasm. I lie there, sobbing. I feel him sit down next to me. He unties my hands. I cry harder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemTqIML3S7
He pulls the blindfold off of me, and I see that there are several men standing around, staring at me. I try to cover myself, but one of the men pulls the blanket off of me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLX3kQXsoA
"What's the matter, huh?" one of the men says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgllJFd2lui
"Look at her," another says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktLiGBP8WZ

"Look at her. She's a dirty little slut," one of them says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eoQxH33CW
"Let's see if she's a filthy little cocksucker," another says. I say "Please leave me alone!" They laugh. They grab me. They forcefully violate me. I start sobbing. I'm crying, and I can't stop. My tears are falling down my face.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnlg8WvMXR
They untie me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXl9fYVZcm
I lie there, naked and sobbing. I'm sore, and my butt is sore. I keep crying harder. After a while, I hear a voice.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBpSp7m529
"Ah... you're up," Father says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb18uVZr3yl
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLKEJ6eYQQ
"Huh?" I say, confused. I slowly get up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wMpO0jsEs
"Where were you?" he asks,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikm35FcMIE
I say, "T-they were hurting me...."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0m5VQRVhf
"I know. We were worried about you. We thought you might be a virgin. You were."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsV2iEBMmS

"Get dressed. We have work to do," he says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBiSjSfPWb
I say, "I can't handle this anymore. I can't stay here any longer. This is too much."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY84rnzF5SU

"I'm leaving," I say, trying to walk away.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxvWkKIjcQ
Father grabs my arm. I struggle.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckIt0BHUS5
"Look, I know you're upset, but you're going to have to get over it. You need to stop struggling. I won't let you leave."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUWQeYvI1q
I say, "Please let me go!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyTGVzVx0s

"You will," Father says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPnwPu1ifV
"I said I won't!" I say. Father gets angry. He pulls me to my feet. He slaps me hard across the face.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xrk7vyZOL

"NO!" Father screams.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TMGEiiiyv
"I'm not going to hit you anymore. I'm not going to hit you anymore. But you need to stop crying. You need to stop being so pathetic." I slowly stop crying. "You're going to stay here with us. You're going to learn. You're going to obey. You're going to be a good member of the cult. And you're going to love it here."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVeZDx33qR

"I have someone coming who will do a better job than me."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJTMaCt7H
I stand up, and he turns around. I wonder who he's talking about. I try to block out the image of his penis, but I can't. He walks over to the door and disappears.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WPEFw2tN7
I'm all alone in the room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImXw28dnlF
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAzhq591LR
I hear the door open. I look up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwd32elWzE
"Hello," a man says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfeTpmi54K
I recognize him. It's the man who came into my room the first night I was here. I saw him before he abducted me. He walks towards me, and I back up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk6Zs2wrgG
"Hands behind your back," he says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYorOgYxJL

I stay on my knees.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT54oYHnKz
He comes up to me, and I can feel him unbutton my shirt. He removes my shirt and he puts his hand on my stomach. I gasp. I can feel his fingers on my skin. I can feel his breath on my skin. He puts his other hand on my head and he pushes my head toward his penis.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhaZheCws6
I say "No no no."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypCmvXEpDi

I comply. I hear the zip tie undone.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpThgKkFhq

"Stay there," he says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPxZGLiZVQ
I stay on my knees.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx1Lrptya3

"What?" he says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF7zoprULZ
I try to get air. I inhale. I try to get air out.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rxTxeRSwl
He shoves it back in my throat and I gag on his penis. I cough and vomit. I continue to struggle. He pushes it in even deeper. I have no strength left. My vision goes black. He shoves it out again.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilAcys2js2
"Is this too big for you?" he says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOR8dnnuwU
I nod.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlzuflB2sK
"I understand," he says, "If you need to vomit, go ahead. I know how to treat a child who vomited before."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6A49nuUH
I retch. I heave. I vomit again. I finally gain composure.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJofHJDO8F
He shoves it back in.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOfqHupDPF
I decide that vomiting once is enough.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNCcvR79GP
He shoves it in deeper.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7f0YRTGfn
I struggle and fight.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFc028oT3
"Stop fighting me," he says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsE1isemR2
He cums in my mouth and I spit it out.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrshHGCZQiH
"Get dressed," he says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifYMmPKxF7
I get dressed. He pushes me out the door and shoves me out the door. He closes it behind me. I take the chance to run away. I run away from the cultists as they try to catch me. They shout at me to stop, but I keep running. I manage to escape them and run away. I run all the way back home. I'm safe at last.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0qElysCMf

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqx7V6ArGk
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmFc6L3TIo
I try to open the door to get out, but the cops slam it shut. I try to bang on the window, but no one seems to notice me, except my mom, standing on the front porch looking at me with tears in her eyes.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxPupDfw4Q
I sob in the back of the cop car. I am being taken to the police station, and I don't know what to expect.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSpKuL1DVr
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNMlhUtkDm

I don't really know how much time passes, but I am released from the cell after some time.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcrACGEmaH
"We'll get you someone who can explain it to the judge, I promise." I am taken to a different cell and left alone. I sob and cry for what seems like hours. I cry about what I did, cry about being in prison, cry about being a murderer. Eventually, I stop crying and just sit there on the bed, surrounded by concrete walls. I fall asleep on the jail bed.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrCZUZTLKP

I am woken up by a man in a suit.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI9AfSbd6W
"Get up." he says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4fNlcaaHc
"Why am I here?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o4oDfd26X

"Hello, Miss, do you need a lawyer?" the woman asks.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0xV9pGGvd

"Okay, I'll get the judge on the phone for you, let's just wait a moment."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fTb4lQPH3

I say, "Hi."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF9ZMwkSu3
The man looks at me, and then walks up to the woman.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGWVbWU3rT

I say, "Okay."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp6jp00tpn
A few moments later, a man walks in. He says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4KBK1o1tC
"Hello. I'm your lawyer. Now, you can wait here, or you can come with me." I follow the man.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCw3Ev9Zja
I am led down a set of stairs, and into a basement. There, I see a large table. I sit at one of the chairs.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanljHK1GHL

"Okay, now, that's a new one. Anything else?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZflttcp7GG
"No."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pClWYzrd3
"You sure? Think hard."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfCb7hKt7N
I think for a few moments, trying to remember anything else the man said or did.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7NLph1zp
I say, "He killed my father."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KhbkrUXBI
"What?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz2tEmrXQ2
I say, "When I ran away and made it back home, the man tracked where I ran to and shot my father."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns1WCkaIki
"Your father? I'm very sorry to hear that. You know, I don't think that you're a murderer. I think that you were kidnapped and forced to do what you did." I try to hold back tears. "I'm going to get you a doctor to examine you. I think you might be experiencing some emotional trauma and it's affecting you. Would you like to see a doctor?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNl7YZGb5
"Y-yes.." I say shakily.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL2vP2vw7h
The man nods, and a man in a suit walks into the room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCgbcAGLMM
"Ah, there you are." he says, "I have Doctor Dershian here. He wants to examine you."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1hzRJ9o5o
I say, "Okay.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyZct9yEnn
The man in the suit leaves the room, and another man enters the room. He is wearing a lab coat.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9VXnb0PbV
He says, "Hello. Why don't you come with me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncMjT0mnb8
I follow him.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7bnPPg6Uh
He leads me up the stairs, and into a room. He says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nuzn1qtC5
"Okay, why don't you tell me what happened?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCRStS1X9G
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz50KDnaCaT
I say, "A-a man kidnapped me and abused and sexually assaulted m-me..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfE2aQTUYH
"Alright. Take a seat."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdNGVTU1ht
The man is Doctor Dershian. He asks me a few questions about the events leading up to the murder, and about my emotional state now.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMUuXB8oPN
I say, "More than a few times the man made me think about killing myself.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHFEXblIyt
"Really? You tried to kill yourself?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s1JwLnjW9
"Yes.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vcls6Hb1Q
"I see. Do you feel suicidal now?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPLPfPhUGT
I say, "Not really. I'm just really emotionally shattered."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6rZ6Kx245
"Okay, I'll get someone to take you to a counselor. You just wait here," Doctor Dershian says, and walks out of the room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABGhKncZhy
I feel like the whole situation is about to make me explode.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B1A2W0inA
A few minutes later, Doctor Dershian returns.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTNJcWrRg4
I say, "D-doctor.. I-I feel suicidal right n-now..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlftQKGOxnj
"Suicidal?" Doctor Dershian asks, "What makes you say that?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfij4xSd4pF
I say, "The situation is just too much for me to handle."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIrk9Op0wi
"I see. Would you like to go to a counselor?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EEPB8QR7a
"Y-yes, please." Doctor Dershian is about to say something, but is interrupted by the door opening. I look up. In walks a man in a white, long, lab coat. He looks very serious. He says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsY5q4CJm
"I'm Doctor Kessel. I'm here to evaluate you." I try to stand up but collapse to the floor. Doctor Kessel immediately calls for a nurse. The nurse walks in, and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJnrGptBLm
"What is it?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH0UBRvMTV
Doctor Kessel says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULKI6Q0CHh
"This patient is suicidal." I lie on the floor sobbing.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2we1a0sB2Q
A few minutes later, a nurse walks back into the room and helps me to my feet. She holds my hand and helps me to a chair. I sit down, and try to stop crying.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lAWAymWco
I say, "Why me??? Why does this all have to happen to ME??" The nurse looks at me with sympathy, and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY4ZGQGsbz
"I'm sorry, but that's part of the evaluation. We need to find out why you're suicidal. We want to help you."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vFNNAuT5h
I say, "Why did I have to get kidnapped? Why was I the one to be abused? Why did I have to become a murderer? WHY ME??"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXiF6t2ySw
The nurse shakes her head, and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcud45qUyC
"I'm sorry. We'll talk about this after we finish the evaluation. Right now, we need to do some tests." I try to not cry.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK175Dkkq6F
I feel so helpless. I feel so out of control, and I can't do anything to change this. I go over to a table, and the nurse helps me remove my clothes. I feel like I'm slowly dying inside. I don't even care.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8FHS6MN2
The nurse helps me into a gown, and I lie down on the examination table. She cleans and checks my inner and outer thighs, my genitalia, and my breasts. I try to calm down and breathe normally. The nurse says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU2py00SoE
"I need to do a blood draw, and a urine sample. I need your help with this." I comply, and the nurse takes my blood. At this point, I don't even feel the pain. I just want to die.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEPz0agpOJ
After a few minutes, the nurse comes back and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOPT2oJReD
"Okay, come with me." I get up and follow the nurse into a different room. I try to maintain my composure. The nurse says, "I need to check your blood pressure. I need you to lay down on the table and get on all fours." I lay down and get on all fours. Suddenly, I start having horrific flashbacks about the kidnapping. My heart rate goes up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1YP8cmVa
The nurse says, "Okay, your BP is a little high. I need to do an ultrasound to check your kidneys, and a CAT scan to check your brain." I start to shake and cry. I feel like the world is weighing down on me. I want to give up. The nurse tries to console me, and she says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHoSpPqWdj
"Everything is going to be okay. You'll see your family soon." I slowly calm down. I start to feel a little more at ease. I breathe deeply and start to fall asleep on the table.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLTlbCA9Yq
A few minutes later, I wake up. The nurse is there, and she is smiling at me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxy9JkSBpb
I say "Where am I?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE4EtJ5r89
"You're in a hospital room. We moved you to a private room because you were so hysterical and it was so crowded. You were also vomiting blood. It's going to be okay."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8JZGAtvsq
I say, "Am I diagnosed with insanity?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM9yoNRFqT
The nurse smiles sadly, "No, but they're still determining that. It's going to be a few days before they give you a diagnosis. In the meantime, you'll be monitored, and you can have visitors."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZxXa6p8GS
I say, "I want to see my mom..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMR5uGxBD9
The nurse interrupts me and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4eJShfkvT
"I'm sorry, but I need to do some tests. I'm going to be back to let you know when you can have visitors."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU23nIlZhw
"O-okay.." I say as I feel the tears welling up again. The nurse leaves the room, and I cry for a few minutes. I feel so helpless. I can't do anything to help myself.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNLUWZxw8U
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rt7enogD
A few hours later, my mom comes to visit.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcNnPk3uwc
"M-mom.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGxNeYDpT
My mom walks into the room, and gives me a big hug.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdyHFB3zuh
"I'm so glad to see you, baby! I've been so worried."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFlMhFou6
I say, "I feel like I'm going crazy mom. Why did life have to do this to me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRRHj66LD5
"I know honey. I've been thinking the same thing. They said they're going to keep you here for a few more days, and they're going to keep an eye on you."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4qehLOpDv
"I-I love you mom," I say as I start crying.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6pRGwx4p1
"I love you too, sweetie. I want to be there with you. I want to do something to make you feel better. Do you think you could pray with me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ahdwnzct
"Yes.." I say quietly.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAib75f7fs
I say a prayer with my mom, and I feel calm and at ease.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn00mCvT1O
After we pray, my mom asks if I want to talk about what happened.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnnFsenQPq
I say, "If I start talking about that, I'm going to start sobbing and I won't be able to control myself.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zyvlE8J9e
"I know honey, but you need to get it out. Get everything out. Don't hold anything in. It's eating at you, and it's making you sick."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEHFMD8Cvp
I say, "Why did that man kidnap me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpUGBW82dZ
"I don't know honey. We'll find out soon. I'll talk to the doctor when he comes in, and I'll find out what's going on. I promise."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3YdepTSpX
I say, "Once this is all resolved, are the cult members gonna be thrown in prison?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrzSnOuuNB
"I don't know, honey. I hope so. I don't think there's a jury that would convict them. I'll do what I can to make sure that happens."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKpuB96ye
I say, "Okay.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL81e7YVu1
My mom spends the rest of my visit in the hospital room, and we don't say another word to each other. After my visit is over, I spend a couple of hours in the empty hospital room. I start crying again. I feel so helpless, and I can't do anything to help myself. I don't know when I will get another visit, or if I'll ever get out of this hospital. I cry myself to sleep. I wake up, wishing this was all just a bad dream. I hope that when I get out of the hospital, everything will be back to normal, and I'll just live my life with no problems. The nurse walks into the hospital room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDg9TAXehy
"I'm so sorry to wake you, but I need to speak with you. It's very important."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYVjjT65zs

In the morning, I get my visitors.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAaovUO0dz
My sister, Charlotte, visits me. She asks me what's wrong. I can't even answer her. I just cry. I feel so ashamed of myself. Charlotte starts to leave the room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWPsLLjjgA
I say, "Wait!" She stops.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAd9rOAOXx
"What is it?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNT0ibjOU8
I say, "I need a hug.." Charlotte wraps her arms around me, and I cry.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVd1vgEDBV
I eventually gather the strength to tell my sister what the doctor said.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr9k30JwNj
I say, "The doctor said I have a.. Std..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTVQvyC2dx
"I know, sis. I'm so, so sorry."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJsRf6qyyC
I cry myself to sleep.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKbur4JMFX
The next day, I get another visit from my mom.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtPLTXXPia
"How are you doing, honey?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhT9eSM3vQ
I say, "Horrible.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2WXQ5EsK8
She walks over and sits next to me on the bed.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvVnY3xxWh
"I heard about you testing positive for a sexually transmitted disease. I'm so sorry."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZESzAlreb
I say, "I'm so ashamed..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPx6H7c6H1
"It's not your fault, honey."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmdFwdErWo
I start crying again.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2c80QAHj
"I'll get you some tissues, honey. You can cry on them. Cry your heart out."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ZJfbvgwt
I cry myself to sleep in my mother's arms. I wake up the next morning. I'm not as tired as I was yesterday. Maybe the doctor gave me some new medication, or maybe I'm just getting used to being here. I don't feel any emotions. I feel empty and dead inside. I don't care about anything. I don't feel any guilt or shame.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX7Ax0n7T0
Maybe I'm dead after all.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBeYSVOJAo
Maybe this is what it feels like to be nothing. I get a visit from my lawyer.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgLEMO3itb
"I heard the test results, and I'm here to ask you if you would like to pursue this case. You tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, so the chances of us winning are pretty slim."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FJQYnIor8
"I don't even know anymore," I say as I shed a tear.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpbd5O8w7B
"I understand. If you don't want to pursue this case, then I'll get someone who will."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDomUVvlG6
I say, "I still want to win this."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhudKBiPB2y
"Well, it's up to you, then. I'll go get our legal team, and we can get started."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu9q1Pwgs9
I spend the next few weeks resting in my hospital room. I don't have any visitors. I have forgotten what life is like outside the hospital. I don't even want to leave my hospital room. I spend my days watching reruns of Friends and crying. One day the nurse comes into the room and says, "I've got good news."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnj9pURjeN
"Really?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF2IDVEPRn
"Yeah, your doctor says you can go home today."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpEhxEIp3s
I start crying, and I can't stop.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKqhZanHJV

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53veTcbOvo
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2E1S6Vjt6
I spend my time at home resting. I don't do anything. One day I decide to walk outside.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2TUCYStRL
I get out my patio door, and I don't turn around and go back inside. I don't know why, but I just have this urge to walk outside.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLgqnetU4T
I stand in the middle of my lawn.The smell of fresh air makes me emotional. I start crying happy tears. I walk over to my flower bed and pick a few flowers to smell. I smell them, and then throw them in the air and watch them float away. They are so pretty, and they smell so good.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiZwFQs0z7
My mom opens the front door and says, "What are you doing?" I turn around to see her standing there.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLKZuFdWkg
"I wanted to see the flowers."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJpwC30WS
"Why are you out of your room?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCIOj7L71x
"I don't know. I just felt like walking outside."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW70GMolZV
I say, "I've been cooped up in a room for way too long."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzkVYAjgis
"Yeah, I know what you mean," my mom says. She picks me up and gives me a big hug.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBkb83oH76
"Thank you for being you."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGAOZF8W8T
"You don't have to thank me." I see the next-door neighbor's son walk out to get the mail. I look at him fascinated. He has no fear. He doesn't know what it's like to be scared. He doesn't know what it feels like to live in a nightmare.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPqkvVbfFH
I make a decision.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXFcfJnjIH
I walk up to the neighbor's boy and say, "Hi!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKHeRcYgCT
"What's your name?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF59APYilT
"Allisa," I say, smiling.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf1tTfpoMM
"I'm Carter. What are you doing out of your room?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBojfMyGSYx
I say, "I just wanted to get some fresh air."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogFW9BHpkl
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I had this urge to walk outside too." He laughs.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nYOamr8ty
I say, "Well I gotta go back inside.." I go back inside and go to bed. I don't know why I feel so empty. I want to fill this void. I want to find something to fill all of this space.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy3yjVnEJM

Your life as a pet is very degrading. You aren't allowed on furniture, you're not allowed to speak unless spoken to, and you're not allowed to do anything without the permission of Father, whom you are forced to address as Master. You aren't even called by your name. Instead, you are simply called Pet. Right now you're sitting on the ground inside Father's study, which is in a building known as the Community Center, staring out of the window.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbCMggjw7a
The study is large and furnished with a desk and chair, some bookshelves with many old books, and that's about it. The door to the room creaks open and Father steps inside, his golden hair and eyes sparking in the sunlight. He walks over to his desk and sees you staring out the window.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAfoRbv3fw
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3qO67ik5h
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9z8WD5XwL
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXBJnX4Eo1
He sighs and sits down in his chair. "What is it, child?" he asks, with a tone that makes me feel like he is disappointed in me. "Why are you looking out the window?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KHYNylub1
"I just want to go home," I say.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaCSrI5C1C
Father sighs again. "Child, I know you miss your home, but we're not going anywhere for a while." He sits back in his chair. I start to cry, and Father stares at me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweo9up47Uz
"Why are you crying?" he asks, with a small amount of anger in his voice. I cry even harder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0NSg6zCNb
Father sighs.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa3fKjxapd
I say "I don't want to stay here!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqboH7u0Mbm
Father gets up from his chair and walks over to me and kneels down in front of me. I look at the ground and Father grabs my chin and forces me to look at him. I look into his eyes. His eyes are cold, like stone. He stares at me with no emotion whatsoever.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7mqn13Y9n
There's no compassion, no sympathy. I'm just a thing to be used. He will use me for his own benefit, and then he will get rid of me. I need to get out of here. I stand up quickly and bolt for the door.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6ivRTHnw
"Stop!" he shouts, but I already hear his footsteps behind me. I open the door and run out. I run past the cult members, who only stare at me in awe, some whispering among themselves. I run until I come to a large oak tree. I climb the tree, which is only a few feet away from the ground. I find a branch that I think is strong enough to hold me, and climb up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyNjKsYktM
I can hear Father's footsteps getting closer. I hide myself in the branches of the tree.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriSB2Y0hUt
Father comes to the tree, his footsteps getting closer and closer to the tree. He stops, staring at the tree.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX7upijt7V
"Pet, come down from the tree."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU8Cf8O0rP
I stay silent.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16pg0sJZa
"Pet, I know you're in there. Come down from the tree right now or else I won't only punish you, I'll make your siblings suffer too. Do you want that to happen?" I come down from the tree and land on the ground with a thud. Father grabs me, and I struggle against his grip, but I can't escape.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK1RlcM2ZE
"Come with me, child." I am dragged along by Father.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAgz30xBxK
I struggle as I walk with him, but I can't get away. We walk for what seems like forever, and then we finally come to a large, circular room. I look around the room. The room is circular, with no windows, and only two doors. One door is at the very center of the room, while the other is at the very edge.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IMBHlHByr
I struggle against Father, who only laughs at me. I struggle against him for what seems like an eternity, but he keeps a firm grip on me, and I can't get away. I sigh and decide it's best to just give up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR0MwTAaTR
Father grabs my chin, and I look at him.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDxTua5n4
"Don't make me have to punish you, child."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6LxbhJKhx
I say, "What are you going to do to me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh3Jyc9gwN
Father smiles. "I'm going to punish you in a way that you'll enjoy." He releases me. I drop to the ground, exhausted..174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgi8wvPq1H
I say, "Please don't hurt me."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DGPprEbHo
Father laughs. "I'm not going to hurt you, child. I'm going to make you scream. I'm going to make you wish you were dead."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwZp0RZRyZ
I say, "Please don't!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgdUojGxy2
Father laughs. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But I will make you wish you were dead, child."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDUGMbdZbP
I say, "What does that mean?" Father laughs. He picks me up and throws me on the bed.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ743HfvQ28M
"You'll find out soon enough, child."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXyP3uJp90
Then he leaves the room, closing the door behind him. I wait.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMECKjxbsLH

It's the last day of the school year. Finally... I've been waiting for summer vacation since the first day of the school year. I'm almost halfway between the school and my house, feeling happier than ever. Suddenly... darkness. I would have never thought that the last day of my sophomore year would be the last normal day of my life..174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQiMCHABcU

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgBLzeKXD2I wait for what seems like forever, but he eventually comes back. He sits on the chair by the door. He looks at me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcTid8WEzo
"Are you ready, child?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq1QnRGwvM
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaWErBZAiD

"Good. Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to bind your hands together. Then I'm going to blindfold you. Then, I'm going to have you stand in the middle of the circle."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARppdJgvBv
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0XmR0l8Ae
I say, "Okay.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ekv3K9nq4
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy3ZLWgU3o
I stand there, and Father ties my hands together, then blindfolds me. Father takes out the blindfold and places it over my eyes. I feel his hands on my shoulders, and start to feel uncomfortable.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Sm1IRw4R
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDp8DFYhxF
I hear him say, "Bend your knees and keep your eyes forward." I do as I'm told.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC4wCHfLwT
He says "Now, walk forward, slowly."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKTCMWaM4v
I feel his hands on my lower back and begin walking. I walk forward, and my feet move, taking me forward. My legs continue walking, taking me further and further away from Father. My heart is pounding in my ears. Then, I reach the center of the circle.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG2C23sk1U
Father says "Good. Stay there."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YgfrPjONV
I feel his hands on my shoulders. I hear him say, "Don't look back, child. It'll make things much worse." I stay there. Then, I hear Father's footsteps. I hear his footsteps stop. I stand perfectly still. Father says, "Well, well, well. Look at you." I wonder what's going on. I don't move, even though I can't see. I wait. I stand perfectly still and wait. I hear his footsteps walking toward me. I wait.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunjwYdJYH0
I stand perfectly still. His footsteps stop. His hands grab my shoulders, and I tense up. His hands push me down. I fall to the ground, and my head smacks into the cold, hard ground. I wince. I lie there, waiting. I wait for a long time, but then I hear his footsteps. They get louder... closer. My heart rate goes up. I wait. I tense up. I stay still. His footsteps stop.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ea5zaxgO
He must be right next to me. I hold my breath. I wait. I stay still.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZk37DQVsF
His hands touch my face. I tense up even more. His hands slide down my body, and my knees get weak. He unbuttons my blouse. His hands slide up my bra. I want to scream. He unzips my pants. His hands slide down my panties. I scream,"Stop!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNrxuJxedL
"Please!" I whisper.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQgxFAekXK
He pulls down my underwear, and he takes his time. His fingers slide inside of me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvuwYv2VDD
I scream loudly.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIzl82J6z
My scream echoes throughout the room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2NJe027iI
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" he shouts.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBLE9wBVPW
His fingers slide faster. I scream louder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcVoALp1yp
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" he shouts. I try not to moan.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ZEWlxoUr
My body shakes. My legs shake. I can't control it. My body gives in to the pleasure. I moan and shake--my body trembles. My moans get louder and louder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBOHQKrAN1
I say "P-please s-stop.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5m6nyH5E4
He stops for a moment, before sliding his fingers inside of me again. I stay still, and soon, I begin to come down from my orgasm. I lie there, panting. My hands are tied tightly together. I start sobbing.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpmlzO9r2d
He pulls his fingers out of me. I wince and groan. I'm sore from the orgasm. I lie there, sobbing. I feel him sit down next to me. He unties my hands. I cry harder.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemTqIML3S7
He pulls the blindfold off of me, and I see that there are several men standing around, staring at me. I try to cover myself, but one of the men pulls the blanket off of me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLX3kQXsoA
"What's the matter, huh?" one of the men says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgllJFd2lui

"Let's see if she's a filthy little cocksucker," another says. I say "Please leave me alone!" They laugh. They grab me. They forcefully violate me. I start sobbing. I'm crying, and I can't stop. My tears are falling down my face.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnlg8WvMXR
They untie me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXl9fYVZcm
I lie there, naked and sobbing. I'm sore, and my butt is sore. I keep crying harder. After a while, I hear a voice.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBpSp7m529

"You will," Father says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPnwPu1ifV

"I have someone coming who will do a better job than me."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJTMaCt7H

I try to get air. I inhale. I try to get air out.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rxTxeRSwl
He shoves it back in my throat and I gag on his penis. I cough and vomit. I continue to struggle. He pushes it in even deeper. I have no strength left. My vision goes black. He shoves it out again.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilAcys2js2

"Get dressed," he says.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifYMmPKxF7
I get dressed. He pushes me out the door and shoves me out the door. He closes it behind me. I take the chance to run away. I run away from the cultists as they try to catch me.

"Your father? I'm very sorry to hear that. You know, I don't think that you're a murderer. I think that you were kidnapped and forced to do what you did." I try to hold back tears. "I'm going to get you a doctor to examine you. I think you might be experiencing some emotional trauma and it's affecting you. Would you like to see a doctor?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNl7YZGb5

The man is Doctor Dershian. He asks me a few questions about the events leading up to the murder, and about my emotional state now.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMUuXB8oPN
I say, "More than a few times the man made me think about killing myself.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHFEXblIyt

I feel like the whole situation is about to make me explode.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B1A2W0inA

I say, "The situation is just too much for me to handle."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIrk9Op0wi
"I see. Would you like to go to a counselor?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EEPB8QR7a
"Y-yes, please." Doctor Dershian is about to say something, but is interrupted by the door opening. I look up. In walks a man in a white, long, lab coat. He looks very serious. He says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsY5q4CJm
"I'm Doctor Kessel. I'm here to evaluate you." I try to stand up but collapse to the floor. Doctor Kessel immediately calls for a nurse. The nurse walks in, and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJnrGptBLm
"What is it?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH0UBRvMTV
Doctor Kessel says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULKI6Q0CHh
"This patient is suicidal." I lie on the floor sobbing.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2we1a0sB2Q
A few minutes later, a nurse walks back into the room and helps me to my feet. She holds my hand and helps me to a chair. I sit down, and try to stop crying.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lAWAymWco
I say, "Why me??? Why does this all have to happen to ME??" The nurse looks at me with sympathy, and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY4ZGQGsbz
"I'm sorry, but that's part of the evaluation. We need to find out why you're suicidal. We want to help you."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vFNNAuT5h
I say, "Why did I have to get kidnapped? Why was I the one to be abused? Why did I have to become a murderer? WHY ME??"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXiF6t2ySw
The nurse shakes her head, and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcud45qUyC
"I'm sorry. We'll talk about this after we finish the evaluation. Right now, we need to do some tests." I try to not cry.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK175Dkkq6F
I feel so helpless. I feel so out of control, and I can't do anything to change this. I go over to a table, and the nurse helps me remove my clothes. I feel like I'm slowly dying inside. I don't even care.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8FHS6MN2
The nurse helps me into a gown, and I lie down on the examination table. She cleans and checks my inner and outer thighs, my genitalia, and my breasts. I try to calm down and breathe normally. The nurse says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU2py00SoE
"I need to do a blood draw, and a urine sample. I need your help with this." I comply, and the nurse takes my blood. At this point, I don't even feel the pain. I just want to die.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEPz0agpOJ
After a few minutes, the nurse comes back and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOPT2oJReD
"Okay, come with me." I get up and follow the nurse into a different room. I try to maintain my composure. The nurse says, "I need to check your blood pressure. I need you to lay down on the table and get on all fours." I lay down and get on all fours. Suddenly, I start having horrific flashbacks about the kidnapping. My heart rate goes up.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1YP8cmVa
The nurse says, "Okay, your BP is a little high. I need to do an ultrasound to check your kidneys, and a CAT scan to check your brain." I start to shake and cry. I feel like the world is weighing down on me. I want to give up. The nurse tries to console me, and she says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHoSpPqWdj
"Everything is going to be okay. You'll see your family soon." I slowly calm down. I start to feel a little more at ease. I breathe deeply and start to fall asleep on the table.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLTlbCA9Yq
A few minutes later, I wake up. The nurse is there, and she is smiling at me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxy9JkSBpb
I say "Where am I?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE4EtJ5r89
"You're in a hospital room. We moved you to a private room because you were so hysterical and it was so crowded. You were also vomiting blood. It's going to be okay."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8JZGAtvsq
I say, "Am I diagnosed with insanity?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM9yoNRFqT
The nurse smiles sadly, "No, but they're still determining that. It's going to be a few days before they give you a diagnosis. In the meantime, you'll be monitored, and you can have visitors."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZxXa6p8GS
I say, "I want to see my mom..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMR5uGxBD9
The nurse interrupts me and says,174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4eJShfkvT
"I'm sorry, but I need to do some tests. I'm going to be back to let you know when you can have visitors."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU23nIlZhw
"O-okay.." I say as I feel the tears welling up again. The nurse leaves the room, and I cry for a few minutes. I feel so helpless. I can't do anything to help myself.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNLUWZxw8U

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtGwucJNydA few hours later, my mom comes to visit.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcNnPk3uwc
"M-mom.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGxNeYDpT
My mom walks into the room, and gives me a big hug.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdyHFB3zuh
"I'm so glad to see you, baby! I've been so worried."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFlMhFou6
I say, "I feel like I'm going crazy mom. Why did life have to do this to me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRRHj66LD5
"I know honey. I've been thinking the same thing. They said they're going to keep you here for a few more days, and they're going to keep an eye on you."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4qehLOpDv
"I-I love you mom," I say as I start crying.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6pRGwx4p1
"I love you too, sweetie. I want to be there with you. I want to do something to make you feel better. Do you think you could pray with me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ahdwnzct
"Yes.." I say quietly.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAib75f7fs
I say a prayer with my mom, and I feel calm and at ease.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn00mCvT1O
After we pray, my mom asks if I want to talk about what happened.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnnFsenQPq
I say, "If I start talking about that, I'm going to start sobbing and I won't be able to control myself.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zyvlE8J9e
"I know honey, but you need to get it out. Get everything out. Don't hold anything in. It's eating at you, and it's making you sick."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEHFMD8Cvp
I say, "Why did that man kidnap me?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpUGBW82dZ
"I don't know honey. We'll find out soon. I'll talk to the doctor when he comes in, and I'll find out what's going on. I promise."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3YdepTSpX
I say, "Once this is all resolved, are the cult members gonna be thrown in prison?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrzSnOuuNB
"I don't know, honey. I hope so. I don't think there's a jury that would convict them. I'll do what I can to make sure that happens."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKpuB96ye
I say, "Okay.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL81e7YVu1
My mom spends the rest of my visit in the hospital room, and we don't say another word to each other. After my visit is over, I spend a couple of hours in the empty hospital room. I start crying again. I feel so helpless, and I can't do anything to help myself. I don't know when I will get another visit, or if I'll ever get out of this hospital. I cry myself to sleep. I wake up, wishing this was all just a bad dream. I hope that when I get out of the hospital, everything will be back to normal, and I'll just live my life with no problems. The nurse walks into the hospital room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDg9TAXehy
"I'm so sorry to wake you, but I need to speak with you. It's very important."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYVjjT65zs
I wipe the tears off my face.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUFAAhwOTK
I say, "What is it? What's wrong?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02vpLGU8Zi
"Your tests came back, and you tested positive for.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1duiAnSXx
I say, "What? What did I test positive for?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLw9zGiOa3
"I'm so, so sorry. I wish I could tell you. I really do. You tested positive for.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6cHmvxgnI
I say, "Tell me!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZthGG7eEk
"A sexually transmitted disease. I'm so, so sorry, dear."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z9gLY8DLL
My heart drops.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUimvVRUUL
I feel so ashamed. I cry myself to sleep again.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCRp36Zk9T

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Gih8qBmYIn the morning, I get my visitors.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAaovUO0dz
My sister, Charlotte, visits me. She asks me what's wrong. I can't even answer her. I just cry. I feel so ashamed of myself. Charlotte starts to leave the room.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWPsLLjjgA
I say, "Wait!" She stops.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAd9rOAOXx
"What is it?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNT0ibjOU8
I say, "I need a hug.." Charlotte wraps her arms around me, and I cry.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVd1vgEDBV
I eventually gather the strength to tell my sister what the doctor said.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr9k30JwNj
I say, "The doctor said I have a.. Std..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTVQvyC2dx
"I know, sis. I'm so, so sorry."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJsRf6qyyC
I cry myself to sleep.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKbur4JMFX
The next day, I get another visit from my mom.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtPLTXXPia
"How are you doing, honey?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhT9eSM3vQ
I say, "Horrible.."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2WXQ5EsK8
She walks over and sits next to me on the bed.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvVnY3xxWh
"I heard about you testing positive for a sexually transmitted disease. I'm so sorry."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZESzAlreb
I say, "I'm so ashamed..."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPx6H7c6H1
"It's not your fault, honey."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmdFwdErWo
I start crying again.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2c80QAHj
"I'll get you some tissues, honey. You can cry on them. Cry your heart out."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ZJfbvgwt
I cry myself to sleep in my mother's arms. I wake up the next morning. I'm not as tired as I was yesterday. Maybe the doctor gave me some new medication, or maybe I'm just getting used to being here. I don't feel any emotions. I feel empty and dead inside. I don't care about anything. I don't feel any guilt or shame.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX7Ax0n7T0
Maybe I'm dead after all.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBeYSVOJAo
Maybe this is what it feels like to be nothing. I get a visit from my lawyer.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgLEMO3itb
"I heard the test results, and I'm here to ask you if you would like to pursue this case. You tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, so the chances of us winning are pretty slim."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FJQYnIor8
"I don't even know anymore," I say as I shed a tear.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpbd5O8w7B
"I understand. If you don't want to pursue this case, then I'll get someone who will."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDomUVvlG6
I say, "I still want to win this."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhudKBiPB2y
"Well, it's up to you, then. I'll go get our legal team, and we can get started."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu9q1Pwgs9
I spend the next few weeks resting in my hospital room. I don't have any visitors. I have forgotten what life is like outside the hospital. I don't even want to leave my hospital room. I spend my days watching reruns of Friends and crying. One day the nurse comes into the room and says, "I've got good news."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnj9pURjeN
"Really?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF2IDVEPRn
"Yeah, your doctor says you can go home today."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpEhxEIp3s
I start crying, and I can't stop.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKqhZanHJV

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53veTcbOvo
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2E1S6Vjt6
I spend my time at home resting. I don't do anything. One day I decide to walk outside.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2TUCYStRL
I get out my patio door, and I don't turn around and go back inside. I don't know why, but I just have this urge to walk outside.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLgqnetU4T
I stand in the middle of my lawn.The smell of fresh air makes me emotional. I start crying happy tears. I walk over to my flower bed and pick a few flowers to smell. I smell them, and then throw them in the air and watch them float away. They are so pretty, and they smell so good.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiZwFQs0z7
My mom opens the front door and says, "What are you doing?" I turn around to see her standing there.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLKZuFdWkg
"I wanted to see the flowers."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJpwC30WS
"Why are you out of your room?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCIOj7L71x
"I don't know. I just felt like walking outside."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW70GMolZV
I say, "I've been cooped up in a room for way too long."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzkVYAjgis
"Yeah, I know what you mean," my mom says. She picks me up and gives me a big hug.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBkb83oH76
"Thank you for being you."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGAOZF8W8T
"You don't have to thank me." I see the next-door neighbor's son walk out to get the mail. I look at him fascinated. He has no fear. He doesn't know what it's like to be scared. He doesn't know what it feels like to live in a nightmare.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPqkvVbfFH
I make a decision.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXFcfJnjIH
I walk up to the neighbor's boy and say, "Hi!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKHeRcYgCT
"What's your name?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF59APYilT
"Allisa," I say, smiling.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf1tTfpoMM
"I'm Carter. What are you doing out of your room?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBojfMyGSYx
I say, "I just wanted to get some fresh air."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogFW9BHpkl
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I had this urge to walk outside too." He laughs.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nYOamr8ty
I say, "Well I gotta go back inside.." I go back inside and go to bed. I don't know why I feel so empty. I want to fill this void. I want to find something to fill all of this space.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy3yjVnEJM
