I am in a large mansion. It is dark and the walls have no color. I jump on the floor im standing on and reach out my hands to the ceiling. I feel water. I emerge from under a pool of water like iv been swimming the whole time, but every time i drive back down im back in this house. I jump up again to escape, but this time there is a thick film covering the water, strong plastic. I rip through it to get to the water so i can escape. I am in the water again but this time not for long. I keep being brought back to the mansion against my will and every time i try to jump up to the water the plastic gets thicker and thicker. Eventually when i jump nothing happens, no plastic no water. I am no in a different part of the house in a living room. There is about 10 other girls there sitting on a couch. They all where the same tan uniform like in a prison. There is a lady that guardes us. She is big and scary looking. She has grey hair tied up into a bun. We are not allowed to leave the camp and we are closely monitored. I can feel my phone in my pocket, i don’t think they know about it so i hide it until bedtime. Once the coast is clear i try to text someone telling them where i am and to come rescue me. No one ever responds. We all sit in the living room a few more times and just stare at each other. The next thing i remember is trying to escape. I am outside and i some how found a car. I am now driving on a freeway but i don’t feel safe yet. I feel like i might be followed. I am almost out of gas and need to stop but i don’t want to stop to close to the camp. I drive until i get to my closest relatives house. I park the car in an abandoned lot and run for the door. I am now inside. I tell them i was held captive and need them to let me stay here so they cant find me. One of the people in the house tells me that they might go to every door and ask about run aways and that i should hide. I run to a back room and hide under a bunch of blankets. I can hear someone knock on the door. Im scared they might find me. I clench my fist.
