I found my death certificate under my bed

I ran as fast as I could every inch of my body was shaking I was so scared how could I be so stupid how can I let this happen to myself I ducked down in the plants terrified what if they caught me what what would they do to me now that I knew the truth just the thought of it made me want to throw up I could see their flashlights looking for me with shaking hands I started to dial nine-one-one on the phone if something happened to me now no one would know where I went the phone started to ring just as their flashlights got closer and closer I held my breath as the 911 operator picked up how was I going to get out of this every step they inched closer and closer to me my chance of getting out of here alive seemed worse and worse before we get into my escape I need to explain how I got myself into such a terrifying situation to be honest all I did was wake up one morning I opened my eyes in bed and felt a wave of panic wash over me my head felt so fuzzy almost like like I was in a dream or something I looked around and started to really freak out I didn't recognize anything where was I and who was I I got out of bed and started to look around the room Anna was in pink letters on the wall but did I even like pink why didn't that name sound familiar I felt like I was going to pass out none of this made sense was I going crazy why couldn't I remember anything what was my name was it really Anna I bolted out the door into a strange hallway I felt like I was on some alien planet I had to find a phone or something I had to call 9-1-1 maybe someone there would be able to help me figure out what was going on I ran into the kitchen and that's when two people stood up a man and a woman in their 50s both looked at me they asked if I was okay if I was feeling any better after hitting my head but I didn't know these people why were they acting like they knew me I shoved past them reaching for the phone on the wall the woman stopped me and grabbed my arm she kept calling me Anna and told me to calm down I freaked out yelling at her to get her hands off of me to leave me alone and let me go then she said she was mother but no there's absolutely no way she could be I would remember my own mother wouldn't I even if I had hit my head the two managed to sit me down and explain everything apparently I had hit my head a few days ago and had been out cold ever since the doctors told them to just monitor me until I woke up I told them I didn't remember any of that that I didn't know this house that they weren't my parents they looked so concerned I started to feel a little embarrassed was there something wrong with me tears started to roll down my face that's when the woman pulled out a baby book and started showing me photos of what apparently was my childhood and I had to admit the photos looked exactly like me my fear started to grow maybe they really were my parents and I was going crazy through my tears I told them I didn't remember anything the woman rubbed my back and told me it was okay we would figure out what was wrong with me together they had been so scared of losing me they were just glad I was okay the woman took me up to my bedroom and told me to lie down and sleep some more maybe when I woke up I would feel better I faded in and out of sleep for a few hours stuck between weird dreams and being awake have you ever had a night like this where one where you feel like something in your life just isn't right at one point I woke up and heard talking outside my door I crept over to try to hear what they were saying my mother and father talked in hushed tones my mother was concerned something was really wrong with me that they should take me to some inpatient care I felt a weird rush of guilt and embarrassment they really did think I was going crazy and they probably weren't wrong but I didn't want to go to a facility like that what if I went there and they really did think I was insane would I spend the rest of my life there over the next few days I tried to put on a happy face I was terrified of being sent away so I had to try my hardest to get used to this life everything around me still felt really alien but I thought maybe if I tried to calm down everything would feel normal a lot sooner my house was apparently a farm once I started really exploring I started to feel a little creeped out we were the house for miles in either direction all the way out in the middle of nowhere apparently we had no TV and I was home-schooled I felt like I had memories of being in school watching TV but but my mother explained I had gone to elementary school four years before she pulled me out for homeschooling honestly I started to feel fairly comfortable during the day I would help on the farm I take care of animals water the garden and help mom cook dinner it felt really relaxed even though deep down I was still having strange doubts after a couple of days it almost started to feel familiar maybe all the craziness was starting to wear off maybe I could be a normal person again but that's when I found out one night before going to sleep I saw something shining just at the foot of the bed on the floor when I picked it up my heart stopped it was a shiny gold necklace with a monogrammed D on it where could this possibly have come from did I have a friend I didn't remember had someone else been in here and if it was mine what was the letter for I thought about asking my mom but maybe it was better if I kept this as my little secret and investigated myself a few nights later at dinner there was a knock at the door my mom and dad both looked really alarmed when they looked out front there was a police car why were the police here I was about to ask when my mom assured me upstairs I tried to listen as best as I could and that's when I heard the word missing were they looking for a missing person I felt a lump in my throat was was I the missing person is that why I felt so out of place here that night I laid in bed staring at the ceiling for a long time maybe I was just being paranoid again my mom had said herself I had shown signs of paranoia and these people they had been so nice to me if I was really a missing person why would they take such good care of me maybe if I found something to calm myself down I would feel better if I could just find my birth certificate or something I tiptoed down over the stairs I felt like I was doing something really wrong they had taken care of me shouldn't I trust them I looked through all the drawers in the house trying desperately to find anything that would calm me down but it's like none of our fan documents were anywhere they had to be tucked away somewhere but where could that possibly be I took a step in the office and the wooden plank under me seemed to move I lifted it up to find an entire box of documents underneath finally maybe there would be something in here that would help when I lifted the first thing out of that box my heart stopped it was a school ID with the name Daria on it and it was a photo of me as clear as day I couldn't breathe I could hardly even think where had this come from I looked even closer at the photo and realized I was wearing a necklace the same necklace that I had found at the foot of my bed my hands started to shake I had to keep looking in the box I had to get to the bottom of this the next thing I pulled out was even more horrifying it was an obituary followed by a death certificate for a girl named Anna she had died when I was 12 after a fall from the loft in the barn where she hit her head I started to hyperventilate were they pretending that I was their daughter had they kidnapped me just so they could pretend Anna was still alive I had to get out of there I tried to put the plank back just as I heard footsteps come down the stairs I had to be fast I scrambled to try and put it away but whoever was walking definitely heard me I bolted for the window realizing it was my only escape I grabbed the cell phone that was sitting on the desk and opened the window just as the woman opened the door she froze shocked I told her I knew the truth I jumped out the window and took off running I felt like my whole body was on fire I ran as fast as I could but where on earth did I think I was going there wasn't anyone for miles I knew that and they knew that in the distance I saw them both rush out of the house I ducked into the rows of corn stalks my heart pounding out of my chest I had to get out of this if something happened to me if they got ahold of me my real parents would have no idea what happened to me tears started to spill down my face as I rushed deeper and deeper into the corn I could hear their footsteps and see their flashlights as they hurried after me with hands shaking I dialed 9-1-1 I had to get the police here it was the only way I was going to be able to survive it was really my only way out I listened to the phone ring holding my breath that's when I saw the lights getting closer and closer they were only a few feet away if I talked to the police surely they would hear me the operator picked up asking what my emergency was I stayed silent trying not to move the operator asked again and again if I had an emergency then she asked if there was a reason I couldn't speak if there was I should press one I tried to hide the light from the phone as I press the button she asked if I was in danger and again I pressed the button I was so afraid they would see I was afraid I would never see my family again the operator told me the police were on the way and I felt a rush of relief that's when the man found me with his flashlight I ran as fast as I could through the corn trying desperately to stay away if I could just lead them to the house maybe the police would be here by the time we got there I couldn't even breathe anymore the air and my lungs felt like fire my legs felt like rubber but but this couldn't be the end I broke out of the cornfield and found myself bathed in the red and blue light of a police car I fell on the ground crying as the police cuffed the man and woman their eyes nearly burnt a hole through me as they were put in the back of the car the police officers ran to me their eyes as big as an owl's I had been missing for three months they had no idea if they were ever going to find me once I got to the station I was reunited with my real mother and father it was like everything clicked for me I still didn't remember my old life but I felt like this was finally right I'm working every day to get my memory back and I did end up going to a facility where I'm getting counseling that is really helping me overall I'm so happy to be home and I wish that I'd trusted my instincts earlier I hope you've enjoyed my story have you ever been in a situation where you should have trusted your gut let me know in the comments below and make sure to LIKE and subscribe
