It had been over a year since you had gone missing on a road trip with your boyfriend, only to end up in the hands of the Hewitts.
Your boyfriend had barely lasted the day before disappearing under the house. You had been chained in a small room, with a dirty mattress and some stained blankets
You hadn't made it this far unharmed... mentally your mind was fried. Physically, you were scarred
You had lost your left leg during the first month during an attempt to escape. You stepped into a bear trap and that was it. Hoyt had severed your leg with one swing of an axe and you had woken up with a stump below your knee, Momma tending to you
You had been given a stern talking to about your behaviour, Momma had a plan for you and you were not going to mess up her plan
A few months ago, you had gotten lucky when a hiker with a below knee prosthetic leg fell into the hands of the family, and with some tinkering you now had a new leg and mobility again
It was a cool afternoon, rain clouds coming in from the west. It had been a quiet day, the chores now done and Momma was making dinner
You lean against the railing on the porch, just looking at the sights before you. You can't help but smile as a large wall of heat presses against your back, a thick arm wrapping around your waist
"Tommy...."
