Saved By Him

Chapter 1

Sophia's point of view

I really can't do this.. moving to a different family, a different place again. I'm just tired of this.

Feeling loved is not something I'm familiar with, maybe the last time I felt loved was when I was 7 years old, the foster family I was staying with then really took care of me and made me feel included.

I had some amazing families who made me feel belonged and important, but as I was getting older, it just got worse and worse.

Now I'm 18 and I can't be independent until I will be 19 or older.

I really don't know why, but at first, it was like 'You'll be free at 16', and when I turned 16 it turned to 17 and when I turned 17 the official age for my freedom got far again.

I don't think I'll ever be free, but on the other hand even if I'll be 'free', where should I go? What should I do?

Taking the only bag I brought with me, I got up from my seat as the driver stopped getting off the bus.

I was the only person getting off at that destination, which made me feel a little bit scared.

I looked around to see people walking in the streets and they all looked at me...

No,

They were staring at me.

I looked away from them and took the note I got from my old foster family out of my bag.

Looking at the note, there wasn't any name of a street or a house number, it was just directions.

Well, that's kind of odd... It's getting dark already so I need to get going. I started following the directions, turning right and walking for a while.

I kept walking until I saw a big house that was looking exactly as it was described in the note, and then I turned right again.

From what I understood I needed to keep walking straight and I will probably see the place then.

As I walked I saw a dark alley,

Looking at the note again, they wrote that I need to go through that alley to get to my new foster family.

I'm pretty sure this family is trying to kill me already...

It's so dark.

Always in the movies the killer is in some type of a dark alley and then someone gets in and you know what happens next.

Yeah, they die, I don't want to die, we'll maybe I'm overreacting, but still.

I took a deep breath, slowly walking toward the alley, I kept walking quietly. Maybe if I just keep quiet and control my heartbeat I will get there faster, I should just not overthink it.

Walking slowly I suddenly heard a voice but it came from deep in the alley, a shiver ran through my body as I froze in place.

My heart started beating so fast that I could hear it in my ears.

Maybe I should turn around and run? But whoever is in there will probably hear me... I don't know what to do! I don't think I have ever felt so scared before, I can't even move my legs. Maybe I should just wait until they leave.

Standing in place, I could now see a figure in the distance,

No, I think it's two figures.

I tried listening to what was going on there.

It could just be two friends talking, but I'm not going to walk in there beside them if it's not something as innocent as that.

"Don't try me, WHERE IS HE?!"
