Uncle Daryl makes us dinner and I lay down next to him, thinking about everything that has happened so far. I miss my mom so much, but she's been through hell and I'm happy she doesn't have to suffer in this world anymore. And at least I have Uncle Daryl, he'll always be here for me.

"Goodnight" Uncle Daryl yawns

"Night" I say

Uncle Daryl straddles me in his arms and I lean into him sighing, this is my life.

"What would you do?" I ask out of the blue

"If what?" He responds resting his chin on my head

"If....we lost each other. Like if we were separated" I say closing my eyes

"I'd look for you endlessly. I'd dream about you every night, you'd stay on my mind. Of course I wouldn't tell anyone how I feel or what happened. I would change, I wouldn't be the same. But you need some rest little lady, you are gon have a big day tomorrow" Uncle Daryl said

"I love you Uncle Daryl" I tell him

"I love you more baby girl" Uncle Daryl mumbles kissing my forehead

I smile getting closer to my Uncle as darkness takes over

******

I wake up yearning for the warmth my Uncle provided but I feel the softness of the coffee colored carpet, I yawn rubbing my eyes.

"Uncle Daryl" I call

No answer

"Daryl" I say a little louder

Still no answer. I get up and walk carefully throughout the house, listening, waiting.

"Uncle D-"

A hand snakes around my mouth

"We meet again" A familiar voice says

"MMMM MMMM" I mumble thrashing around

The buff leader laughs at my escape attempts and slams me to the floor.

"Now lets read the letter..."I'm going out to prepare your surprise, I locked the doors and don't open them for no one" I guess he left at the wrong time" The guy says

"What's your name?" I ask

"Gruff, pretty lady" He smirks

"I'm fucking thirteen you creep" I grimace pulling away from him

"Age is just a number" Gruff says stepping forward

"And jail is just a place" I say

"There is no jail" Gruff laughs pulling my hair downward

I scream out in pain as he wraps his hand around my hair in a fist.

"Let her go!" Uncle Daryl yells

"How about we play a game? We torture you and if you say "Stop" we hurt her" Gruff smiled

"No! Just let us go, take our stuff, just don't hurt my Uncle. Please" I say looking at the floor

".....Nah that's no fun" Gruff said

Uncle Daryl is tied to the dinning room chair and I was tied up next to him in another chair.

"I'm not gon' let em hurt ya" Uncle Daryl told me staring into my eyes

"But then they'll hurt you" I say breaking his glare as I stare at the ceiling

I take deep shaky breaths as I look up at the ceiling, waiting for the torture to begin.

"Here we...GO!" Gruff shouts

I quickly close my eyes whimpering. Uncle Daryl yells out and I try to block out his cries as I hold in a waterfall of tears that want to escape

"I'm so sorry Uncle Daryl" I cry as tears spill from my eyes

"Sh sh sh, Dixons don't cry baby girl. It's not- AHHH"

Gruff stabs a knife into Uncle Daryl's leg

"I'm sorry I can't h-help i-it!" I cry

"It's okay, I'm okay. You don't have ta be sorry" Uncle Daryl soothes

I take deep breaths, trying to ignore the laughter coming from many men

"Stop laughing!!" I scream

Everyone goes silent

"Excuse me?" Gruff asks

"I said stop laughing" I say as the tears and sadness turn into anger

"Or what?" Gruff laughs

"Or you can fight me" I threaten
