“Always”
Foggy, confuded and not sure where she was ..Looking around trying to clear her eyes and head….
She didn’t recognize the room…it was nicely decorated…feminine ..so she figured there was a woman around…fresh flowers?..ummmm ,But where am I? shaking her head clear…Mary sat up …looked out the window…but, there was nothing.. Nothing for miles…but Green Hills… How’d I get here? And better yet where is Here? Last thing I remember I was going Home to see Momma and Daddy! Oh,..and Beth…
Now rubbing the side of her head… what happened? Then ,she felt someone staring at her…
Your awake? Surprised…she turned quickly…Yes! Still confused…Who are you?and where am I?
All in Time … All in Good Time….! Your safe here….I am? Mary asked. Of course you are…
I don’t wish to hurt you y Dear… your just the bait… Bait! Bait for what? Mary asked now looking upset.
Revenge ! An Eye For An Eye! Just like in the Good Book! Mary Looked scared,and worried.. What?
What are you talking about? An eye for an Eye? Who am I bait for? Are You Crazy? But as quick as the words came out..she could see this was the wrong thing to say….. The woman came towards her in anger…
Crazy!..you think I’m Crazy!…. The she gave Mary a shove… knocking her back onto the bed… I’ve never harmed anyone! Mary curled up…I’m sorry…I’m Sorry.. It just that your scaring me….
Well make yourself comfortable,Honey..your not going anywhere for a while…then she put a tray of food on the table in the room…Oh, And don’t think of trying to get away..? It won’t work…I’ll be back..I have a message to send off…. But My parents..?…their expecting me..they’ll be worried…Mary wanted to cry… Soon enough honey …she’ll know where you are …..Soon Enough!

I have the Girl ..Your Girl! It’s you that owes the debt! Owes the debt!…. What debt? Who is this?
What do they want? Then Meet me alone!..Alone! Tell No One! Then Matt’s voice broke thru…
Kitty what is it? Ahhh.?…she felt like she’d been kicked in the stomach. Oh,… shaking her head…
