Chapter 1

I was out of breath. I had to stop and hide somewhere. It was getting dark too. Soon I wouldn't be able to see my hand even if it was right in front of me.

There was a building up ahead, gated. The ideal place to hide when you're running away. I thought.

..........I was on edge. At any moment he could come through the door and attack me. He would beat me for running away and punish me harsher when I was back under his control. It was abuse in the purest form.

....... I knew I had to keep running, but to where? I have to think this through.

---Shari was running from her past to make a new future, but would her new friend bring her back to her old life???
