Stolen by Lucy Christopher, Talya Guenzburger

Dear Diary,
How will I get out of here? He has trapped me, I am a prisoner here. There is no one to talk to, but him. I wonder if I will ever see my family, my friends, or my home ever again! I can't believe that I let him drug my coffee and take me away. I wish I had just walked passed from him, and not let all of this happen. I need to get away from here. But how? There is not one but him within thousands of miles of here. This place has not even been mapped yet! I would die if I tried to get away.

Dear Diary,
I have tried to make my self talk to him, and I have found out some crazy, yet amazing news. He has been stalking me since I was six. That is 10 years. He has been planning on drugging me up, and taking me away for 10 years. Now I realize that there is no way that I could have ever escaped him. If he didn't get me that day, he would have gotten me another. If I ever get out of here, I think that everyday I will be scared that some one will be watching me, following me. He knew everything about me too- my shoe size, my clothing size, my parents, my schools, my friends, my boyfriends, everything. But, all in all he is treating me pretty nicely. He feeds me, he gives me clothing, and he even lets me go outside. Basically, he can get me whatever I want, except for the only thing I actually do want- to go home.

Dear Diary,
I can't take it any longer. I need to get away. I am trying to think of a plan, but it is not coming easily. Whatever I do, I will die trying. Maybe I will have to say here forever, and maybe, just maybe I will enjoy myself. Right now, I can't imagine how I would ever enjoy myself here, but maybe I will get used to it. I have talked to him more lately. I am trying very hard to get to know him, to see the better person inside of him. I can actually see some good things about him too! Hold on, I will be back later...
Oh no. I just went out to see him and I got bitten by a snake. He has given me all of the anti-venom that he owns, but it is not working. He is taking me back, to the nearest hospitable. Back to civilization, back to people! After three months, I will finally see someone other than him. He says that I will die if I don't get hospitable care. I am very scared...
