My Hero (Stephanie)

“We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves.” ~ Tom Robbins

When I heard the door smash open, I never expected it to be Rayea and her friends. I didn’t know how long I had been locked in the wooden box in one of the closets, but it has to be weeks at least. They lifted me up and kept the lights off until I could regain my vision.
“You came,” I managed to say. “You actually came.” I guzzled down the water bottle someone handed me.
“Let’s get you cleaned up and put some clothes on you.”
I didn’t resist. I knew how wonderfully my sister would take care of me. She was the good sister, the one who would never turn her back on anyone. She’d never leave anyone behind.
Why had I waited so long to call for her? Why had I let that fiend have his way with me? Why had I allowed that to happen?
“We need to get her to the hospital, Rayea. She’s in bad shape.” A tall blond man steady me as I stood on shaky legs. My bones were weak and brittle. My body thin and gaunt. I didn’t care. I was happy to be alive.
“I’ll call the ambulance,” one of the girls with red hair announced.
Rayea nodded to her and she dialed the phone. My heart wanted to sing out. My soul expanded into a glowing ball of gratitude. After all I had done to my sister, here she was. I reached out for her, scratching at first to touch her. The women pulled her back. I began to cry. I couldn’t help it. Broken and destroyed. I was no more the fearsome creature I had been. I knew that now.
“None of them…” I swallowed hard again. “None of them returned. Thank goodness.”
“We can talk about that later,” Rayea said. “You’re safe now. I’m going to take care of you.”
I fell into her arms, screaming and blubbering over her, as I had no one before. My hero. My savior. Where would I be without her now?
