Darkness.
                          
This was something I was starting to get used to. Darkness and I were beginning to be close friends and to be honest, it was beyond terrifying. It almost seemed like a typical part of life but being treated so horribly would never be normal to me. No matter how many times I was beaten up, I would never submit to Raymond. I don't know what seek game he is playing but enough is enough. I have had enough of this. It was time for me to escape from this wretched place. 
                          
Raymond keeps on torturing me and beating me up like I am some kind of slave. I laid in the same position he had left me in. I was so scared of what he would do to me next. In my seventeen years of life, I have never suffered such pain and humiliation as I had these past few months. I just do not understand how on Earth I am not dead as yet. 
                          
Would I ever escape this hellhole? It was not even a question. It was something which had to be done. I had no choice but to escape, however I was still too scared to even shift a muscle, not only because I was in fear of what Raymond would do to me, but also because I was almost a hundred percent positive that I had a few broken bones or badly sprained ankles or wrists. My body was also extremely sore and this pain would feel worse later.
                          
As I laid I heard a soft cry and realised that I was not the only one in this dark place.
                          
"Is - is someone there?" I asked timidly and I sat from my position, immediately regretting it as pain shot through my upper body. I definitely had a few broken ribs. I cried out in agony and held my ribs which did nothing to ease the pain.
                          
The crying just continued and I could not even explain how I felt mentally at this moment. To say that I was scared was an understatement. My heart beat loudly against my chest and fear filled my guts as I adjusted my eyes so I could make out silhouettes and saw a person lying in the corner.
                          
Is that Kyra in the corner of the room crying her heart out?
                          
My heart broke into a million pieces as I could only imagine the pain Kyra must have gone through. How could he do this to her? Why did he even kidnap us? Just to torture and kill us?
                          
I got up from my position and pain immediately shot throughout my entire body, causing me to cry out in anguish. My entire body was in  pain and I felt extremely weak. I felt like I could drop and felt extremely dizzy. 
                          
I limped slowly towards the frail body on the ground and gasped in surprise. I could not believe my eyes.
                          
"Dr. Amara?" I exclaimed in shock.
                          
What was she doing here? Shouldn't she be enjoying her life in the castle? Had Raymond finally turned against her?
                          
"I'm so sorry." she cried out, her head buried in her hands as she sobbed.
                          
Amara had tricked me and locked me in the crazy room where I was tormented by Raymond. She told me she was going to get me out of the castle, but instead she had betrayed my trust. In this moment, forgiving her seemed like the only answer as she sounded so genuine and she did instruct the maids to get me out of the crazy room and clean me up. Now she was experiencing the same pain that I was going through.
                          
"Why is this happening?" I questioned with fear in my voice. 
                          
"Raymond is a horrible person and if we want to stay alive...we have to escape" she continued crying.
                          
I embraced her, trying to calm her down, despite my injuries which had me feeling very weak. All my energy was gone but I needed her to calm down. I had to make her believe that I was on her side and I needed a strong enough team and plan for this to work out.
