Amber sinks to the cold hard ground. She couldn't believe it. The tears cascade down her pale rosy cheeks. She knows her father won't be able to save her this time.

This cant happen to me. She thought. I have to escape!. But deep down she knew there was no escaping this. She helplessly crawled into bed and waited for sleep to take her. But sleep didn't come. She must have dosed off cause she awoke to the sound of her mother banging on the door.

"AMBER! Wake you little brat. Sean is going to be here in an hour. So at least try not to look like the mess you are".

Her step-moms words didn't make her feel anything. She was used to it by now.

With a sigh, she got up to take a shower. The chilly, unwelcoming air of her room against her skin. She turned the water on and tested it with her fingers. She decided it was warm enough and hopped in.

She scrubbed her body rinsing any dirt she may have on her. She then scrubbed the cool shampoo into her scalp. Rinsed, and put conditioner in. She let it sit there for a moment to soak. She coolness of it relaxing her. When she got out she busied herself with dressing herself.

"Why hello, Sean" she could hear her mother say from downstairs. She frowned. He cant be here already.. she thought. Even though she knew this time was coming she couldn't help the tear that fell delicately down her cheeks. She quickly snapped out of it and cleaned herself up. She headed downstairs to greet Sean. Her arranged husband.

"There you are!" Her step-mom said. "I almost thought you would never come down" she chuckles. You just strain a sweet smile and turn to Sean. He has a chiseled chin, black hair, and deep green eyes. He's much taller than you and you only reach his waist.

You feel his gaze rake your body up and down with a smirk. This makes you blush and feel uncomfortable.

"Ahem" your mother interrupts. Sean's face growing serious once again. "I suppose you may take her now. I don't need to see her anymore". Sean seems pleased at this and guides you to his car. You feel uneasy as his strong hands touch your back.

You enter the fancy car in the passenger seat and buckle up. Queasy, you lean make in your chair. Sean gives you a look, and you try to look more mature, But you feel your world sink and turn black as you pass out. Hearing a faint worried voice and strong hands touch your face.

There's nothing but darkness.
