I fell asleep in the car and woke up in a motel. Dennis was pacing around I had a chain from my ankle leading to what I think was the bathroom. It was a double bed room and I was in the one furthest away from the window.

"Dennis what's going on?" I asked shifting to sit up. My throat was horse. He probably gassed me while I was already asleep.

"Where going far away. We needed a place to sleep for the night." He walked around probably think.

"Dennis.. will you take the chain off?" I asked looking to my feet

"Do you think I'm stupid? Im not letting you go. You'll try run." He said and I huffed. I'm still waiting for real punishment. Im guessing a beating.

"Dennis. Eventually you'll have to give this up. Locking me up, taking girls. You do realize sooner or later you'll get caught. Whether you can escape or not you can't take me with you. "

"If I want you I will always have you. It's that simple."

"If that's true then unlock me. At least for a while."

"No." He said and I sighed.

"I'm hungry." I whined.

"Okay, I'll go out and get a pizza."He said putting on a jacket and hat.

"I'm gonna take a bath." I said and carried the chain to the bathroom. He nodded and left and I heard the door lock. I filled the tub with warm water and grabbed the little complimentary soaps. I rolled up my pants leg and soaked my feet. I added soap around my ankle and worked on tugging the chain off ankle. It hurt and pinched my skin. Finally I squeezed it off.

As soon as I got it off I decided to go out the bathroom window in case Dennis saw me. I slipped out the small window and my feet hit the gravel beneath. I made my way to front office. I went in. The man looked at me.

"Who are you?"

"Uh I'm staying here..."

"Are you with that weird Man? He said only one person was staying. He's going to have to pay the extra 50$ for you. God damn, people think they can get away with anything now." He ranted.

"No... that's Uhm not it. I need you to call the cops. He kidnapped me. He took me and two other girls. He killed them and he kidnapped 3 more. I'm not sure if they're still alive.. " I said quietly looking back and forth. I stared out the window paranoid that Dennis was going to come after me.

"Oh shit you're that girl on the news! Fuck, yeah okay cops." He said frantically grabbing the phone. The cops were called and parked away from the motel. The clerk was suppose to call when Dennis pulled back in.

I waited in the clerks back office. I started out his tiny window. I watched Dennis pull in and heard the clerk pick up the phone. Dennis got out of the car and carried the pizza to our motel door. He had a smile on his face.

The police pulled in and surrounded him and pulled their guns. Dennis set the pizza down and put his hands up. I watched them take him away. They brought me out to a different car at the same time.

"Casey!" He screamed. "Casey I'm going to kill you!" He was angry. I tried not to look at him. He needed help.

--------

The police brought me to the hospital.

After an exam the detective met me in my room to ask me questions. He was tall and handsome. Like some actor off a crime show. He looked more built with his bullet proof vest on than he really was.

I sat in my hospital gown and pulled the this blanket over me.

"What happened?" The officer asked as he sat in the free chair in the room.

"Uhm from the start, me and my friend were in the car. Her dad never got in. Dennis did-"

"Dennis? Who is Dennis?"

"Kevin, Kevin Wendell crumb. He has multiple personalities. Dennis took us. He sprayed the other two in the face. He didn't really notice me until I reached for my door handle. The second I did he looked at me and sprayed me too. He locked us up in the zoo? I think it's a zoo. But this thing he called the beast, he or it killed them. He ate their stomachs out. It was aweful. I shot him two other three times trying to escape. It didn't really hurt him. Like a scrape-"

"A scrape?" He asked scribbling on his notepad

"Yes. I shot him with a shotgun and it didn't even hurt him." I said seriously. "But he bit my leg, we got into a fight and I locked myself in a cage. He saw I was hurt. Like stuff he didn't do to me. Scars... he said I was pure and I suffered so basically I got to live." I huffed. "I passed out and he took me. He took me with him to his next place. I tried escaping but it never worked. He always caught me. I was terrified. He grabbed 3 more girls so I helped them escape. Did you find them yet?" I asked

"No."

"They're in the woods. I don't know where you have to find them. Wait! There was a camp ground near by, like a big open field. They went in the other direction. There's a river. Two passed it. Me and Rebecca didn't. We fell in. Dennis pulled us out. He gave me cpr and saved me. He tossed Rebecca in the water. She could be alive couldn't she?" I asked

"I don't know. We'll send a squad to search wooded areas near campground and rivers. We'll find them. Don't worry." He said like it was a fact. It made me feel better he was so confident. "Go on though. How did you get to the motel?"

"He dragged me out of the woods. I woke up in the car. Changed. He has a thing about dirty clothes. Or dirt in general. He's OCD. I fell asleep then woke up again in the motel chained up. I asked him to get food and I went to take a bath. I soaked my ankel and slipped the chain off. And now I'm here. " He nodded.

"You'll have to come to the police station another day when you feel better and tell us everything from the top in detail. Not a single thing left out. Okay?" I nodded. He looked into his file. "The medical report says there's scarring and proof of sexually assult. Not just new but old. I'm sorry to bring this up but before kevin who else hurt you?" He asked he didn't make eyexontact. I could tell he felt awkward.

"My uncle. Since I was four. It got worse when dad died." I said coldly. I bit my lip to stop it from wavering.

He picked up his walkie talk and put call out to arrest my uncle. It felt like a weight was lifted off my chest.

"Will I be put in foster care?" I asked scared.

"Casey. Do you know how long you've been missing?" He asked

"Like a couple months?" I was sure of it. I thought I had been keeping good track of the days. I could be wrong though.

"Four and a half months." He said. The days somehow slipped past me. I didn't think it had been that long.

"Oh." I said

"Casey you're 18 now. You won't be in foster care. Since you lived with your uncle the best we can do for you now is let you stay there if you'd like, until we get you in a safe house, he won't be there of course since we are arresting him. We can offer you a safe house as long as you testify against either your uncle or kevin. Hopefully both. Then we can protect you as a witness." I nodded. "Did kevin attack you? The reports show bruising on your thighs that are fresh." Honestly Dennis was rough so that was from consensual sex.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said. I didn't want to cry rape when it wasn't. I don't want to admit to having sex with him willingly. That's aweful in itself.

"I understand. There's enough to put him away forever without having to talk about it. But I'm going to suggest counseling." I nodded. "You are going to stay here tonight, Dr.s orders. Tomorrow I can drive you home. You only have to stay a day and I can get that safe house up and running as fast as I can." I nodded.

"Thank you... uhm" I searched for his name tag. He introduced himself when he drove me to the hospital but I don't remeber. I was in my own head.

"Detective Mayfield. You can call me Chris."

"Thank you detective." I nodded.
