"Ari come here please." I whisper barely enough for it to be audible.

"Selly you know I can't right now, I have to do this. Okay? For us." She said while trying to open up the window.

"Please hurry I'm so cold." I said trying not to close my eyes.

"I'm almost there Selena, please hold on."

Ariana and I have been locked in some strange mans basement for what seems like years. He comes every three days or so to give us food or to 'play' around with us. I'm growing more and more sick and I have to get out soon or I'll be gone. I am definitely not leaving this world without knowing Ariana is safe.

Ariana seems a few years younger than me but I'm not really sure because we've been here so long. There is also another girl here but she's the mans favorite, and she's been here the longest - absolutely compliant to him and she never wants to leave.

The man had given us all nicknames but I refuse to forget my own name and I made sure Ariana wouldn't either. As for the other girl, she says her name is Violet but I doubt that is her real name.

The only reason Violet hasn't told us is because I made sure she knew that there was a park on the other side and we were going to play when the man wasn't here.

"anddd....." Ariana says, "done! I did it!" She then gets exited that she had sawed off the window with a butterknife she kept in the room for a while. She's been trying and clawing at that window for a few weeks it seems, but I can never be too sure. By the looks of it, it's night right now.

Just then we hear his car pull up.

"Ari, try to pretend the window isn't damaged. He's coming. Hurry!" I try to yell, my voice sounding weaker and weaker.

She quickly climbs down and hides the butterknife in a little hole she made in the wall, barely visible unless you knew exactly what to look for.

She hurries and lies down on the mattress next to me, covering herself as much as she can with the blanket that is made for little babies.

Hearing the locks become undone from the outside,  Ariana's eyes slowly grow fearful and I am fearful for her too. He loves to play around with Ariana and just adores neglecting her. He likes not letting her eat as much as us or making her stay chained to her bed for days while violet and I can go around the basement and talk and such.

The man stumbles in a little intoxicated with a bag in his hand.

Food.

We haven't eaten in I think a few weeks, and poor Ariana is so skinny. Sometimes when the man isn't looking when he feeds us, I hide some for Ariana later when he leaves.

She shouldn't be here.

None of us should.

"Here you useless slags." He says to Ariana and I while throwing two tiny cans of tuna.

Ariana then tries to grab one of the Tuna and the mans tisks.

"Daisy, you know that is just for Rosie." He says to her.

I have a deep feeling that he is obsessed with flowers due to the names he gave all three of us. Daisy is Ariana, I am Rosie, and then there's Violet.

Ariana takes her hand away and looks down, her cheeks getting red from embarrassment. I grab both of the cans and only open one, slowly tucking the other one away for Ariana when the man leaves.

He gives a wicked smile our way and turn around to the other side of the basement to Violet.

"Here you go darling, come on and get up. I'm going to take you to the special place." He says to her whole giving her a salad with chicken in it, one of those that cost a fortune that you would see people eating on the television.

"Okay daddy." Violet says to the man with a sleepy voice, indicating she was just asleep.

See what I mean by completely compliant?

He wants us to call him daddy but I hate it, however, i rather call him daddy than get played around with and Ariana believes this as well.

The secret place is only a place that violet has been able to see so I cannot describe that place although it sounds like a horrible place to go.

He then kisses her on the cheek and turn back to us, his face going back to a straight neutral face.

"I'll be back Violet okay? Be ready."

He walks out and you hear a dozen locks being locked again and footsteps walking away.

Violet then happily eats her salad, without even bothering to ask us if we would like some. I wouldn't call Violet spoiled, but she's spoiled.

By a man who kidnapped her.

I quickly give Ariana the other can of tuna, "hurry and eat it. He will be back soon."

She nods and gobbles the can down as fast as she can.

Ariana is a lot shorter than me and a lot thinner too. She looks to be about 80 pounds and standing at less than five feet, maybe.

"Come on sel, you have to actually eat the food." She says and sighs when she sees I haven't eaten.

"Ariana, I can't eat. I'm too tired and all I did," I take a breath, "was take off the top."

She then gets a spoon that Violet accidentally dropped a few feeding times ago and starts to feed me the tuna.

I never liked tuna but it is all the man gives us so I've learned to eat it and deal with the horrible taste.  After the first bite, I instantly feel better knowing food is going down to my growling stomach.

I slowly finish the can of tuna and Ariana places it on top of her finished can and puts in a corner where all our trash is. She takes the spoon and wipes it off with her clothes, hiding it again near the butterknife.

The trash is put into a little hole and next to the little how is another hole, but deeper and it's for us to use the bathroom in, sometimes giving up toilet paper and this is one of the rare cases where we still have some.

Footsteps again. The man is coming back.

We hear the locks unlock and Violet squeals and puts on her shoes as fast as she can.

When the man opens the door, Violet is right there standing next to the door with the biggest grin a girl can muster.

"Come on Violet. Let's go." He moves slightly for Violet to slip out of the basement and he looks at us with a dirty look.

"I'll be back for you guys really soon, don't think I forgot you." He looks straight at Ariana and winks and she tries not to shiver at the disgusting man.

He shuts, well slams, the door and lock all the locks back up and you can hear Violet and the mans footsteps disappear.

Moments later you hear the car start outside and back out and they drive away.

This is our chance, and Ariana knows it too.

"SELENA GET UP. MOVE NOW LETS GO. WE HAVE TO GO." She yells while getting up to take off the broken part of the window so we can slip through.

I try to get up from the mattress that's on the ground but I was just too weak, I couldn't do it.

"SELENA I KNOW YOURE TIRED BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO MOVE." She yells again and I groan in agony from all the pain it takes to get up.

Ariana realizes I really need help and she runs over to help me get up so we can leave.

"Okay ready? One. Two. Three. GO!"

She pulls me off the floor and basically drags me to the window. I slowly climb up to the window seal and I stop, bending down to take the roll of toilet paper we have left. We might need it later.

"Selena we have to move right now. We have to go right now. Come on please." She begs trying to push me to go further.

I crawl out the little space she made in the bars on the window with the paper in my hand and i immediately land on grass. I roll out of the way to catch my breath as Ariana crawls through.

Oh no.

It is night time and it is dark.
