Challenge Accepted.

She remembered that she was listening to her favorite *music* station, drinking *coffee*, and applying her favorite *dream* cream on her body. Suddenly, Stephanie awakened to a dark deadly *silence*. She thought she heard someone speaking in a different *language*, but whoever was in the other room was *hidden* from her sight. She could smell a *fire* going and felt around to *touch* the space around her, but could only hear the *rhythm* of her heart beating. She thought she could hear a *train* in the distance but could see nothing. She reached out in front of her and thought she saw an *invisible* shadow play across the wall that kept her *captivate* in fear. https://steemitimages.com/DQmSpcVFXEcP2HMSPSPMCaBFe1UhkZFP62AFccfuyjVBYAS/image.png [Image Source](https://nikitagirl.deviantart.com/art/A-Ray-Of-Light-in-the-Darkroom-16152658) Stephanie knew she had to keep calm and *breathe* slowly. If only she was not so *thirsty*! Her *vision* was blurry and for a second she thought she saw *bluebirds* flying around the room. She must be hallucinating and realized she had been drugged. There was a metallic *taste* in her mouth. She *paused* and thought she heard footsteps coming closer. The door opened and a man walked in with a *swan* t-shirt on causing a light *wind* to blow across her face. He was wearing the *pearls* her mother had given her and held a *candle* in his hand. She held back a scream for *help* as the man told her to *heal* and to *focus* on getting better. His voice was smooth to the ears and she knew he was going to *play* her like every predator she had ever met. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUFP2k9jHxm6DxpnyqK3fzpPcZAJME5DufVBWat7BXY7X/image.png) [Image Source](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3181290/How-far-away-candle-Raging-debate-finally-extinguished-thanks-study-puts-distance-just-1-6-miles.html) The man smelled like *smoke* and *tiptoed* out of the room. Stephanie could not *imagine* that this would ever happen to her, and forced her thoughts to Hawaii and the clear blue waves. The *coolness* of the water hitting her body. She was jolted out of her fantasy by a *whisper* from someone in the next room. She had to *listen* closely as the words sounded far away. She heard the words *grow*, the *trees* are nearby, and *reach* for the doorknob. She was still dizzy from the drugs but she opened the door and ran for the nearest *shelter* underneath some trees. She *remembered* she had to keep moving and ran until there was an *ache* in her lungs. The *cotton* dress she wore was soaked with sweat but she had to *smile* to herself that she escaped his control. She thought she *understood* the instructions on how to get out of there and felt a sense of *serenity,* until she heard the dogs coming. She *seldom* recalled a time that her world caved in on her, but this was a fucking *masterpiece* of a situation. She smelled the *dirt* on her body and saw a *dandelion* as she kept running for her life. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaQKJDFeWfFx89QUyDbCpAdjBAJYTWRdkVvTKneXXLWGd/image.png) [Image Source](http://www.joanzen.com/2015/11/running-for-my-life/) Her *feet* were bloody but a sense of *joy* was within her as she was so close to freedom. She remained *strong* ... ___ ![DQmNuF3L71zzxAyJB7Lk37yBqjBRo2uafTAudFDLzsoRV5L.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNuF3L71zzxAyJB7Lk37yBqjBRo2uafTAudFDLzsoRV5L/DQmNuF3L71zzxAyJB7Lk37yBqjBRo2uafTAudFDLzsoRV5L.gif) To join this awesome contest click [here](https://steemit.com/writingimpact/@rensoul17/the-writing-impact-challenge).
