it had been a long day. i got home and got some lettuce and fruit and veggies out of the fridge. i was getting ready to make a salad when i heard someone at the door. i put everything down on the counter and went to answer the door.

"who is it?" i yell through my front door, but there is no answer. keeping the chain lock latched at the top of my door i open the door as far as it will go, which is enough for me to see outside the door.

whoever it was out there, they kicked to door all the way open, breaking the chain lock and hitting me in the center of the face with the door. i fall back and scramble to get back on my feet. i knew they were directly behind me so i turned to punch them with all the force i had, but they caught me by the wrist. i stood still for a moment trying to let everything come into focus. i looked up into the eyes of my dad. i wanted to yell and scream but i could not find my voice; i froze. i was in such shock that i fainted. when i awoke i was tied to the bed. only i was not on the bed. i was on the floor and my arms are each tied to one of the two legs at the foot of my bed. i try moving but can't. i look around, panic taking over. i hear footsteps coming from down the hall so i close my eyes and pretend that i was still passed out. slowly he came to my side and started untying my wrists but kept hold of them obviously thinking i was going to put up a struggle. i feel him lift me up over his shoulder. i jumped a little when he touched me. his hands were very cold on my bare skin. he put me on to the bed and put a shirt and a pair of pants on. i tried to ignore his hands lingering on my lower stomach. when he was finished he lifted me up over his shoulder and carried me out to the hallway. i opened my eyes to try to figure out where we were going, but i didn't want to move too much and let him know that i'm conscious. a minute later he puts me sitting in a chair.

"hey, wake up honey," he said in a sweet voice. i didn't move or open my eyes. "Everything is going to be ok now." i felt him kiss me on the cheek. then he stood up and stood me up. he climbed up on the chair and pulled me up to stand beside him. i am now awake and scared and very confused. "close your eyes honey," he told me. i obeyed not wanting to anger him. "i got a necklace for you." i feel him slip something rough around my neck. it felt like a choker necklace. when i felt him get down off the chair i opened my eyes and looked down at him. he had tears in his eyes and grabbed both of my hands. "i love you," he said. then he pulled me hard enough to leave me hanging from the rope...
