She held onto her knees. Just minutes before, he had been on top of her. She lay curled up on the bed in a small ball. How am I gonna get out of this? she thought. She didn't like where this had gone, but she didn't know what to do to get out. Soon he'd be done in the bathroom. Ashlynn didn't know how she was going to get away from her uncle. She could run right now, but she was scared of what he might do. "Ash, I'm done hun." her uncle called. Ashlynn tensed. He's coming back, she thought. "Ash sweetheart?" Ashlynn laid as still as she could, trying to pretend to sleep. She closed her eye. Ashlynn heard a soft chuckle, then, "My little angel sleeping." She felt the bed move and a gentle kiss on her forehead. Ashlynn tried not to move as the bed moved again. Then she heard the door shut. Not knowing if he had really left, she kept her eyes shut and continued to lay still. Soon, she drifted into unconsiousness...
She was in a cage. She didn't know where, it was dark. Ashlynn heard someone laughing. It was unnaturally high pitched and scary. Ashlynn couldn't see a thing. She heard rustling of feet not far from her cage. She stayed in the middle of her 6 feet by 6 feet trap, thinking it was the safest spot. Her clothes were old, dirty, patched in various places, and bearly covering her thin body. Her short blonde hair was matted, her green eyes hurt. Suddenly an arm reached into the cage. Ashlynn shrieked. The arm tried to touch he, but it wasn't long enough. It disappeared back into the darkness. She silently thanked that she was in this cage. She was safe from what ever was trying to harm something was grabbing her neck. It felt thin, like a rope...
Ashlynn jerked up, gasping for air. She felt her throat, nothing. Blankets covered her naked body, soaked with sweat. Her hair was a mess, but nothing like in her dream. There was a soft knock at the door, then a man walked in. Her uncle stood in the doorway. "Hi hunnie." He smiled. His face looked soft, gentle. From the outside looking in, one would have never guessed what he had done not long ago. He waited patiently for Ashlynn to answer.
"Hi Uncle Seth," she said, pulling the blankets up. "Is it time to go home?" Ashlynn asked, trying not to sound hopeful.
"Yea. Your friend Keenan is here." He smiled. "You'd better get dresses quickly, don't want to keep him waiting." He looked at Ashlynn as though he was going to join her on the bed, but just turned around and left, shutting the door behind him.
