+ Long Days Pass By +

Days turned into weeks and Sekally lost all hope of being saved. She had to do it herself. She had to escape from this hell and save what was left from her life.
She knew the pattern of his life. Every morning he would come to her, then leave for work and be back later in the evening and enter her room again. Then he  ate and then both of them got back to the room where she spend most of the day and make her do something for him for kicks. Mostly she refused and he would hit her, making her face bleed or even give her some broken ribs.
It was hard for her to breath, and her whole body was covered with bruises.
It was no ordinary day when Sekally thought she might have a chance to escape. Carl left like every day when he had done what he always did with her and she heard him leave with his car.

Sekally got out of the bed from the moment she could. She got to the door and even though she knew he always locked it, tried it first. It wouldn't open. She banged against it, and although it didn't give in, she tried again. She didn't know how long she pushed the door, eventually it opened. She was so tired of it that she had to catch her breath.
Later that day, after a much needed rest, she went down the stairs, almost fell from the last few, and walked in the hallway. She looked for a phone, but couldn't find anything. He had taken her purse with in it her cell phone and keys of her car. Next on the list was to actually escape from this house. She found new strength with every step she took towards her freedom. She went to the front door, but then she thought that he might be there. She didn't know if he ever really went to work. It could be that he was waiting for her. Panicking she just stood in the hallway. Thinking was hard at this moment. She couldn't focus enough and was tired. She shook her head and turned back. She would use the back door. Entering the kitchen, she opened one of the cabinets and found what she was looking for. A weapon of some sort that she could use to protect herself. She covered it in her torn cloths and and looked out the window. It was already getting dark. And although it was winter and the days were getting shorter, she thought she better got moving.

Near the back door she saw that it as locked. She cursed and wondered what she had to do now. It was of glass and the best thing to do was to break it. She got a chair and then threw it in the door. Instantly an alarm sounded and a police car pulled over. At that time, she didn't find it strange that it was there so quickly. She ran towards it and screamed for help. But then... Then she saw who was behind the wheel. She screamed and ran in the other direction. He was much faster than her, trained as he was and tired as she was, it didn't take long. He jumped on her and together they fell. Sekally screamed one last time. How could he be a policeman and still do these horrible things. She should have known. But she still had the knife.
She reached for it and slashed in his arm. But that was the only thing that she could do. After that, he took the knife and pulled her inside again.
"What were you thinking?!" He smashed her against the wall, then dragged her up the stairs by her hair and threw her on the bed. He took the knife and ran it over her face, not cutting her, scaring her to death. 
"I'll show you pain. I've been really nice to you. Giving you pleasure and all and this is how you repay me?!" He cut her cheek. Fresh blood started to run over her face. Tears ran over the blood and a soft scream came from her mouth. She hated that she was so scared, even that she was crying. What could he do? Kill her? That would be so much better than this life.

Later that evening, like every evening, he gave her something to eat on a plate. He always left so that she could eat alone. She looked at it and came up with a new plan. She would stop eating for good.

And in the beginning of her new plan, it worked. But then after a while, when her bones were sticking out her flesh, he started to notice something.
"What are you doing?" I don't like really skinny girls. Eat."
"No thank you." She whispered. Her mouth was dry and she knew that she was really weak. But she didn't care. Soon it all would be over.
"Is it like that? I have a solution for that." He went out of the bedroom and came back sometime later. He had a hose in his hands. 
"Do you know what happens to little girls that don't eat properly?" Sekally didn't really care anymore. Broken as she was, she closed herself off.
He grabbed her on the bed, sat on her and forced her mouth open.

+ The end of all horror +

In the bath, he was washing her body, washing away the blood, the dirt and sweat. On her face he washed away all food that hadn't gone in her mouth. He looked at her and said something. At first, it didn't come through to Sekally, but then she knew what he had said. He had said that she was getting boring and that he was going to have to find a new girl to give his love. In a blind rage, Sekally pulled him under water and kept him under. Normally, he was stronger than her, but she couldn't let this happen to any other girl. She would be the last one.

When he stopped struggling, she let him go and he death body fell on the ground. In a last effort, she got out of the bath and got a knife, some paper and a pen. She scribbled a last letter to the finder with a unsteady hand. She wrote about what had happened and who she and he were. She told about her days in that room upstairs and why she had killed him and... herself.

Now that she had left the note in the kitchen, she went back into the bathroom and got back into the bathtub. She knew that she was weakening with every breath she took, falling further into darkness.
She looked at the knife for a moment, not knowing what she was going to do with it and then in one swift motion cut her wrists. 
With every drop of blood that fell in the water, she disappeared some more from this world. Until only soft red blood water remained and the body of Carl on the bathroom floor.
