Kelsie laughed. This feeling was perfect, she finally felt like she was on her way to getting better. However this was not to be the case for long, as she was being watched. They sat behind a set of rocks near the coves entrance. It would not be long before they were able to take her.
The wind picked up, whipping Kelsie's hair and making the gulls caw. A bad omen, perhaps?
Yet, Kelsie paid not attention to this and kept walking. So they saw an opportune moment and took her.
There were no screams, and certainly no tears. The only sign that Kelsie was ever on the beach at all were the slowly fading footprints and a small jagged piece of net caught between two rocks.

The net untangled from around her waist as they tossed her onto the deck of the boat. Kelsie's hair was matted and knotty and her skin was covered in lines from where the net had pressed into her skin. Her petticoat was slightly torn at the base and she had sand coating her eyelashes.
A shadow fell over her and as she looked up her eyes met Anne's. A smile crossed Anne's face and Kelsie shivered.
'Finally, I have you within my grasp. If only you knew the trouble that you have caused me.' Anne said.
Then Anne turned to the men who had just deposited Kelsie on the deck.
'Take her below-deck to get her dressed! We have to do this fast! I've waited years for this.' Anne yelled.
Kelsie felt hopeless, she doubted she'd be able to resist them if they tried anything. So, tears spilled from her eyes.
Nothing mattered anymore. She wouldn't be able to get herself out of this one.
