I turn around to see that we were in front of a trail leading inside the forest.

"Remember, one wrong decision and you are dead," Flint spoke viciously." As if I can do something" I mumbled. Flint took my arm and gripped it tightly taking me inside the forest. The way he gripped my hand was surely going to leave a bruise in my arm. But that wasn't new. Bruises covered almost my whole body except my face

I sighed. This wasn't the first time he has taken to some mysterious trip. I hated my life. I had absolutely zero freedom. I was an English major and had just graduated. This summer I was supposed to be starting my job but Flint didn't like the idea of it since he thought I would run away with someone else. My dad was a rich businessman. He loved Flint as his son but me as nothing but a burden. He wanted to inherit his property and asset to Flint but it was all supposed to be mine. So that's why Flint was my so-called boyfriend and soon my fiance even though I didn't like it. It was all happening against my will. There was no one to take stand for me. My mom was dead. I had no friends or siblings I knew of. I was simply helpless.

Soon we reached a small cottage that looked like at least a century old.

"Stay here or else-"Flint growled. " You will kill me" I cut him off nonchalantly.

I felt a pain in my arm to see a red bruise. Flint as always had pinched me.

"Never ever interrupt me."Flint fumed. I could already feel hot tears falling from my eyes. He knocked and went in.

I looked in. Flint was busy talking to someone. Too busy to notice that I was still outside. This was my opportunity to get away from that filthy man.

I slowly closed the door making no noise. I slowly turned around and started running into seeing where I was going. I am Beverly Brook and I am a runaway.
