"Please. Get me out." I whisper helplessly. I have been starved for days and forced to shut my mouth and say nothing. I hadn't moved from the spot I sat in, in weeks. I had already cried what body fluid I had left and I was so thirsty. I was almost considering just killing myself. I sat in the cold dark cell and waited for something. Anything. Then I heard gun fire and heard footsteps racing toward me. I was in trouble.
A man banged on my cell but it wasn't a you're-in-trouble bang it was a let me save you bang. I don't know how I knew the difference but I did. I turned my skinny body towards the door and I saw him. Keith. I smiled as best as I could and he broke in the door. He blasted off my chains and wrapped my almost naked body in a blanket. I was skin and bones. I walked out with him and got into the ship that they had come here in. I wrapped up my entire body, hiding it, because I was embarrassed. Keith brought over food and I ate it in seconds.
"Do you want more?" He asked after taking the plate away. I nodded a yes and he came back with more food. I ate it again and he brought back more.
After I was done with my fourth plate of food I slept. I had slept in a nice bed in weeks.
I wake up to Keith knocking on my door.
"Come in." I say. He walks in and sits on the edge of the bed.
"How you feeling?"
"Fine."
"That's good, you want some more food?"
"Yes."
He leaves and comes back with more food then I'd seen in the past month.
"There, if you don't want it all just leave it there and I'll pick it up later."
"Okay."
He leaves me to watch tv and eat.
Within two weeks I had gained back 10 pounds of weight. I walked out and was more confident. I was now 100 pounds and I could actually do something with my life. I walked off of the ship and onto the dusty desert floor. I smiled as I saw the whole crew behind me. I walked home and ran to hug my family. I was home. I turned back to Keith and the crew and told my parents everything.
"Thank you Keith. You have saved our daughter." My dad said as he shook hands with Keith who looked at me.
"Yes thank you." My mother agreed.
My little brother Joesph ran up to Keith and hugged his legs.
"Fank you fo' bwinging my fifter back!!" He smiled
Keith knelt down and hugged my brother.
"It was no problem little dude." Keith stood up and looked at me.
"I have to go but I'll promise to come back one day."
"I know you will." I smile.
Keith walked over to me and hugged me. He wrapped his arms around my neck and head as I clung to his chest not wanting to let go.
"I'll miss you." He said walking off.
"I'll miss you too." I say as he steps on the ship.
"Goodbye!"
"Bye!"
