I finished cleaning. Let me say, I need to personally thank ever maid that works for my 'father'. Cleaning is bad. Very bad. Honestly I've barely cleaned in my life. I was always doing something they usually didn't approved of, but still. After I cleaned everything I had to organize Hopes clothes. 8 different times. No joke. Then I was aloud to sleep. For three hours. I got woken up by a horn in my ear. I might have slapped Hope, not thinking about it. I was exhausted after all. To witch I got slapped back, then dragged down the hall by my hair. That woke me up and I started stuffing. I was pushed into a room and vaguely heard

"She needs to be punished." And a door slamming shut. I was dragged to a wall and my wrists were chained above my head. My ankles were also chained. First, ice cold water was dumped in me. I was completely awake by then. I wish I hadn't been though. Scolding hot water was thrown on my next. I screamed out in pain which earned me a punch across the face. He didn't even punch right! So I said that.

"Dude, you know you can break a thumb punching like that. I could show you and practice in your face if you'd like,"

"That's it you little brat. Shut up or I will do much worse."

"What's that, punch me harder which would cause a broken thumb?"

I really should have stopped talking. I was kicked and punched so many times in the stomach and ribs, I wouldn't be surprised if something was broken. I'm defiantly bruised. Badly. My ribs are bruised, my stomach, my face, arms and legs. My face also has a cut lip and check. He had a ring on. I'm a bloody, bruised, and weak mess chained on the wall. And that's where I am four hours later.

"Have you learned your lesson yet Kaylee?" Hope sings. Except it sounds more like a dying cat than singing.

"Is there a car slowly dying of boredom in here too? Or is that you talking?"

She sighs "Do I need to call Peter back in here?"

No thank you. Play the innocent card.

"N-no. I understand. I'm sorry."

"That's more like it. Now time to clean my sisters room!"

Her little sister Lori. And her older brother Evan. I don't wanna clean anymore! She must see it on my face because she says

"It better be good too. She's having a friend over. After that is Evans room. Then you can take care of Lucky!" Lucky the annoying shitzu. Great.

"I-okay."

She smirks and says "much better. Are you losing hope yet? Cause you won't get outa here."

That's what she thinks. I don't look at her as I wait for someone to undo the chains. She starts walking away when I call

"Uhm Hope? I'm still chained..."

"Get out of them. I know you can." With that she walks away with a bounce in her step. I look at my hand chains first. They don't leave much room so I can't just twist my hands out. My ankles I can though. After I've gotten my feet free, I look to my hangs again. I have a lock pick in my hair, shoes and shirt. I can't reach my hair or shirt so I will have to swing my feet up to my hands. I've actually had to practice this before so I should be able to do this. After two tries, I manage to get it. I unlock the chains and rub my sore wrists. Putting the lock pick back in the secret part of my shoe I start towards the door. Before I get five steps from it, the door swings open and Hope walks in. Her mouth drops and she finally managed to speak

"I-I didn't really think you would do it. Or could do it! No one has ever been able to and we've had master criminals in those chains!"

You really shouldn't underestimate me. I'm magical after all. No not really, but seriously don't underestimate me.

"Oh. Sorry?"

"Daddy! Come here quickly!" She screams ignoring me. I hear him running and he screams

"Did she escape again?! You were in charge of her!"

"No. She got out of the chains! I said get out of them I know you can, but I was joking! She actually did!"

"Hope, don't worry me like that. Why would you tell her that?!"

She retells our conversation, both of them ignoring me.

I hear Hope mumble something about me being a ninja. I stifle a laugh and that's when they finally take notice of me.

"How? How did you do that?"

"Uh. I don't know?" I shrug.

"You have to know! How else would you have done it!" Hope screeched.

It's really not that big of a deal. Pretty simple actually. Anyone could do it.

"I-I just do it. I don't pay attention I what I'm doing." I pretend to confess.

"Mmhm. Go clean."

I nod and follow to Loris room. Is it possible to be this messy?!

"One hour for this room. Kay?"

I nod and head into the death hole called a room.
