He caught up with me by grabbing the back of my shirt and spun me around so quickly, I lost balance.
Barging into my room, he pinned me against the wall, his eyes filling with rage as I pleaded for him to stop. My cheek reddend due to the amount of abusive slaps he gave me.
Finally letting go of my hands, he told me in a harsh, icy tone: "Say one word about this to your cousin, I will beat the shit out of you, you hear me??"
I nodded quickly, tears slowly cascading from my eyes as he turned around and closed the door.

I went downstairs at six twenty-eight and sat down at the table. My cheek was still a bit sore from earlier as I brushed against it.
"You're here." He said, his back turned on me. The smell of enchiladas began to fill the room, along with my stomach.
I kept quiet as he placed a bit on a plate then passing it to me. Nate made one for himself and sat down across from me.
A long pause hung in the air; the only sound coming from the forks and plates.
He was the first to speak up.
"Why did you do it when I clearly told you not to speak to your cousin?"
I hung my head down in shame and replied, "I'm sorry, sir..I forgot..."
"So you forgotten, huh? Well that explains why you don't pay attention to rules. Those slaps I gave you? That was punishment to what you've done. That's what you get for disobeying me yet I had barely kidnapped you yesterday. And yet, you had the audacity to talk to her."
"But Nate...she talked to me first." At this point, I was shaking in fear.
I now knew the consequences that were being held in the house.
"I don't want to hear your useless excuses nor explanations, Anna."
Anna?
I then realized that the name came from an Anna Blue drawing I had done two years ago.
"Why did you name me 'Anna'?" I asked, puzzled.
"It suits you and because your original name sucks." He said, getting up.

I flipped through the channels, looking for something to watch until a news report caught my eye. I looked at the headline: "TEENAGE GIRL MISSING SINCE YESTERDAY".
My new name was Anna. Angelica, however, is dead..no longer existing to me.
Nate slightly glared in my direction, his eyes staring coldly into mine. As he sat down next to me, he wrapped his arms around my shoulder.
I felt my insides shiver and decided it was best if I had a good night's sleep, even though it was seven thirty.
Wrong move...
Pushing me back down, I felt his hands unzip my jeans then for my shirt as well. I wanted to scream out, but I was too scared to do it.
With nothing on except my bra and underwear, I kept on shivering and trying so hard not to cry as Nate placed his dirty hands on my parts.
He then began to pick me up and carry me to his room. OH, GOD NO!!!! I said in my head as I visualized what happened next.
And that's exactly what happened...
