Lizzy opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. She tried to move her hands to reach for a light but her hands were tied to something.She wanted to call out, she didn't because she was afraid. The last thing Lizzy remembered was walking to her home and then someone grabbing her and placing their hand over her mouth. she had fought but obviously not good enough.She jumped when a voice said from the darkness
