Chapter 2

Kimberley

Looking out of the aeroplane window as it took off she began to wonder what the hell she was doing, she had her suspicions about this whole 'prize' that she had won, and at every point along the way she had kept thinking that someone was going to turn round and laugh at her for being so stupid. She had had entered a crossword competition and had found out that she had won a weekend break in a spa in the UK. She had presumed she wouldn't have been eligible to win; being out of the country, so was slightly surprised to say the least when she got a letter through with details of her prize – including plane tickets. A weekend in the UK..... hell, that could be fun!

So here Kimberley was, looking out over fluffy clouds and souring high into the sky.... wondering if she would be able to cope with the jet lag to be able to enjoy herself when the canteen cart pushed its way down the narrow isle of the plane. Kimberley helped herself to a couple packets of peanuts and a half bottle of wine. Munching on the peanuts she thought back to a comment one of her mates had said to her recently, about her 'getting fat' and thought that maybe this break would do her good, give her a boost to her confidence and also help her by giving her chance to put her life into perspective and decide what she wants to do. She was in a relationship she wasn't sure about, and was also aware she had been gaining weight over the recent years – she had spent most of young life a slim size 12, but had noticed her clothes were now 14's and even they weren't comfy any more.

Kimberleys long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, making her look younger than her 32 years, and she new she had a cute smile, so being the flirt she was she amused herself on the plane by smiling at all the guys (and some of the girls!) as they walked past on trips to the bathroom.

The 12 hour plane journey passed quickly enough and she got herself a taxi to the address she had been given, by the time she arrived the sun was setting and she couldn't make out much of the surrounding buildings. But it didn't look like she expected, a little disheartened, and tired after such a long journey she climbed out of the car... hungry and strangely slightly nervous she glanced around. Quickly a young man approached her, introduced himself as David and picked up her bags. Not really saying much she followed him to a large barn building and when he opened the door and placed her bags in she stepped inside, started to turn round to ask him what happened next when she heard 2 different sounds. Neither of them she liked very much......

The first sound was the door being locked behind her, and the second was the sound of someone crying.......................
