Katherine had finally calmed enough to get ready. Well, as ready as she'll ever be for the day. She was rummaging through her closet for a dress when her cellphone buzzed.

She turned it on to see it was her mother texting her. The text read 'I heard your aunt paid you a visit this morning. I'm so sorry Kathy! To make up for it, I'm canceling all of your lessons for the day. Feel free to do whatever you want! I love you sweetheart!'

Katherine smiled and jumped for joy. A day off! Now she can actually be normalish for a day!

Forgetting all about wearing dress, she slipped into some jeans and a coral jumper with light pink long sleeves. She quickly slid on her favorite brown shin high boots, grabbed her rucksack with her laptop in it, and made for the gardens.

She weaved her way through the bushes and hedges to her secret spot. Only her mother knew about it. There was a swing hanging from a tall tree as well as a ladder nailed to the tree trunk that lead to a tree house. Katherine always came here to be alone.

So she walked over to the swing and sat down in it. She took out her laptop and immediately started writing, mainly about a crazy dream she had last night. Minutes slowly turned into hours. Soon she'd been typing away for 4 hours straight. She stopped to stretch and take a break.

Katherine dug in her rucksack for her phone. She saw her aunt had tried to call her 15 times. She rolled her eyes, put it on silent, and stuffed her phone into her boot, like she always did. Then she went back to typing.

About 15 minutes later, she was getting ready to head back. Suddenly something, or someone, hit her head from behind. She yelped then fell off the swing and collapsed onto the ground.

The last thing she felt was someone tie her hands together and two pairs of hands hoist her up and begin to carry her away before the world became engulfed in darkness and she lost consciousness.
