Chapter One When I awoke, my vision was blurry. I realized with a start that I had no clue where I was, and I couldn't see anything for I didn't have my glasses. I attempted to search the rough,hard floor for the plain black frames, but my hands were tied tightly behind my back. I suddenly noticed a hazy, tall figure approaching me . I started shaking with fear. "Shut up!!!" The figure bellowed as I whimpered, horrified of the man "Please don't hurt me." I whispered, my voice small "I told you to shut up." The man growled, kicking me hard in the chest, making me wheeze for breathe My asthma started to take control of me as the man repeatedly kicked me where I lay on the floor, curled in fetal position. As I was about to pass out from lack of oxygen, I heard a loud bang, like a door being roughly thrown open. The man was pulled off of me, and I started to see black. "Stay with us, Gracie, please." Said a gentle male voice "Someone get the paramedics in here," yelled a different voice That was the last thing I heard before my world went black.
