"Love at first sight doesn't exist. Love takes time and love takes work. At the very least, you have to know the other person. And you literally have no idea who - or what - I am." — Garnet, Steven Universe.

"I don't care who you are. As long as you live in this cabin, you'll follow my rules." Said my caretaker as he grips his hands on my wrist. "Please stop, you're hurting me.." I whimpered as he tightens. "What did I say?" I pushed my head down as I poured my eyes out. "You don't care.." I whispered.

This has been happening for six years now, and he still won't let me be free. He told me once I was forced inside of the cabin, "You'll be able to leave this cabin," he said bringing my hopes up, "on the day I die. If you leave this cabin when I'm still alive, I'll hunt you down and kill you."

Those words haunt me forever as I cling to my life. I was his personal maid, he would splash water on my face if it wasn't good enough for him. Throw my food away if the food I prepared him had gotten cold. He would mentally, physically, and emotionally abuse me, and I don't have the power to do anything and obey.

"Tch. Now be a good girl and start doing laundry. I'll be back before 5 o'clock. Anything happens, call my number." He says as he grabs his suit and hat. "Oh, and do something about that filthy thing your wearing. You know you're going to need to wear the dresses I got you." I hugged myself tightly as I closed my lips tightly.

As the door closes, I slapped my hands on my mouth, and try to contain my scream of fear. Kenichi would be disappointed and would hit me more. I quickly ran to the laundry room and undressed myself to clean the dress I've been wearing for 6 years. It is getting shorter and tighter as the years go by. I could change the dress that I am wearing, and use the ones he offers. But I refuse to wear the dresses or clothing he offers me. They're too inappropriate for me.

I wish I could go back to my fourteen-year-old self, and help myself. Or at least know what went wrong. I only remember having a loving family, I was in the garden playing. I believe there were other children like me, I think.

I wait for my laundry while wearing a robe. I began to fold, and fold the multiple clothes that are in Kenichi's wardrobe. I hear a knock on my door, I quickly ran to the phone and obeyed Edgar's rules. The phone line began to ring as I heard the phone ringtone outside of the door.

"Hey Sweetpea, open the door would ya?" I hesitated. I looked opened the door carefully as multiple men came out. They all yell and came in a hurry. Regular clothing and laughing men. Kenichi comes in and holds me close. "Good girl, now put on some clothes."

As many men drink and party, I was rushed into my room. I was not able to leave. That's when I had time to think, am I really not going to run? As the cold white moon glows at the dark night. I hesitated. I began to pack quickly, my fears and worries are all gone. Why?

I could get in trouble, anything can happen? And I'm risking this? My anger starts to boil up, and the urge to leave has increased. I grabbed a weapon, a sharp stick, under my bed.

"What are you doing outside in this cold?" I turned and see a man, with shinning yellow hair. I sighed and looked away, "I needed some time to think." I said mumbling, as I see my breath in the cold air. The man sat next to me. "It was beginning to become spring." He says as I moved a bit away.

I did run, but I am coming back. I am not risking myself to become killed, but I needed to see the outside world.

I nodded, "It will be prettier around here." I said softly. "Toshinori," he says tiredly. "I'm [Y/N]," I replied back. I shivered as the cold wind hits, "Certainly doesn't feel like spring is coming right now." Toshinori laughed at my comment and placed over a brown heavy coat on me. "Who's hurting you, [Y/N]?" He asked, daring me to look at him.

As I heard that comment, I did the opposite and looked away. "This person is hurting me, and basically keeps me locked inside. I've been inside for six years. This is the first time seeing something so beautiful,"

Toshinori still looks at me and looks back. "They threaten me. He expects me to become something but I don't know what. I apparently started something, and.." I stopped. I just ranted to a stranger.

"I wish I could be out here, and be unnoticeable."

"Why didn't you just leave? You have your chance,"

"He threaten me to ruin my life, and kill me." I said, now having the confidence to look into his eyes. "Hm. How about you change your appearance?" He started. "Instead of [H/L], maybe change to a different length. Nothing to crazy, but something to not look..."

He kept mumbling and mumbling, as I changed my appearance in my; [H/C] in a different hair length, and different appearance. My height was a bit taller, my hair was a bit darker, and my eyes too.

"Oh goodness, thank you for convincing me and helping me, Toshinori." I said as I smiled sweetly. "Seriously, thank you so much," I added as I hugged him. He kept stuttering and had a colored face, "U-Um, yeah, your welcome, [Y/N]—"

"Shh, you're going to get us caught." I said seriously. Toshinori's face turned more red, "O-Oh, sorry."

"How about [L/N]? [L/N] [Y/N]?" I asked as he nodded. "Y-Yeah, that's sounds good." Toshinori cleared his voice, "We'll have to report him to the police."

I nodded my head, as I went with him to the police station. Toshinori seemed to recognize someone as he smiled and waved, "Hey, Tsukauchi."

A tall man with raven black hair and eyes and with a gentle smile comes to us. "Hey Toshinori," he says while looking at him. He turns and looks at me, "Hello miss..?"

"[L/N]," I said as I bow respectfully. "Pleasure to meet you," I added. He shakes his head, "The pleasure is all mine,"

I did told him about my situation about the Kenichi and the current condition I am in. I told him, on what I can remember, and other memories I have.

Tsukauchi tried to get people to help around and try to find my identity, but there was nothing in here. They said they will arrest Kenichi, and send him for prison up to three years and ¥26,929,750 (which is $250,000 in United States).

I was a bit happy that he would go to jail, but I was upset that I wasted six years of my life and he loses only three years. But it's better than anything, and I also put a restraining order on him.

Now the action part is catching Kenichi and taking him to justice.
