Black And Grey

27. Hostage.

It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. I've been thinking and I hope I don't fall into depression.

Everytime I close my eyes,the nightmares come.

Nightmares that mom dies in.

Nightmares where I lose Justin.

Nightmares where I lose Amanda.

Nightmares where my life takes a bad turn. 

Maybe I should get some air.

I get up and slip into my Crocs and I leave the house.

I've been walking for about three minutes,and it's dark. Very dark.

But the breeze is amazing. It almost makes me forget all my worries.

Only a car has passed me so far. Just one car..

I begin to walk when I notice a car's headlight behind me.

The car keeps on swerving and that makes me confirm that the driver is drunk.

The car abruptly stops and just as I turn around,a sack is put over my head,and I feel strong arms lift me up.

I protest the whole time, beating the person.

"Hey! Let me go!!!" I yell on top of my lungs,but it's all muffled.

I'm dropped on a seat and the vehicle moves.

I struggle to breath and I keep kicking my legs as hard as I can.

My eyes struggle to stay open and in a few seconds,I land into absolute darkness..

"She's not dead,is she?"

"Try it again"

"No,you try it again"

"Boss is gonna be here soon"

"That's the point! Pour the darn water on her!"

Cold water splashes all over my body and I shriek.

The muffled voices I was hearing a second ago become clearer.

When I open my eyes,three men are standing above me, staring at me with their heads tilted.

"Should we try it again?" One of them asks.

The guy holding the bucket splashes more water on me,and I shiver.

My eyes fully open now.

"What...what do you want from me?" I ask staring at them.

I can tell my eyes are red.

They all laugh at me.

"We don't want anything from you. The boss does" the bigger one says with his arms crossed.

"Who's your boss?"

"Shut up, Barbie!," One of them barks. "We're not even supposed to converse with her"

And they all walk away.

They slam the door shut.

This room is tiny,but not too tiny.

I can't feel my hands. They're numb

My hands and legs are tied.

What do these people want????

My phone.. my phone..

Where's my phone?

I wiggle my back to check if it's still in my back pocket...

And good thing it still is..

My location is always turned on. That's some good news.

There's no air circulation in this room.

It's dusty and boring and dark..

There are some things covered with clothes here.

I'm scared to death,.. like really scared. What if these people kill me? I don't know them,and I don't know what they want from me.

I'm hungry. Very hungry.

A guy barges through the door and stares at me.

He walks to me,and I tilt my head at him.

He loooks.more decent than those three.

"Oh," he chuckles. "You're the pretty girl"

I don't say anything. He has a scar on his chin,but still.. he looks decent.

"You're not gonna say anything?"

I still don't talk and he laughs.
"You're gonna talk eventually. When you're wincing in pain"

"P-pain?" I manage to whisper.

He laughs again and sits in front of me.

He places a hand on my cheek and I flinch.

"Look sweetie," he looks at his wristwatch. "I'm just here to make sure you don't try anything stupid"

"Why am I here?"

He chuckles again and it's starting to creep me out.
"I have no idea. But boss knows" he shrugs.

**** ***
With how much he was staring at me,I managed to sleep.
And when I'm up, he's not in the room. No one is.

I begin to cry because I don't know what's gonna happen to me.

I have no idea who these people are.

My mom... She's probably worried sick because I'm very sure it's almost evening. She probably won't take her drugs. And Justin.... Oh my gosh.

Amanda? I bet she's fidgeting round her house

And I haven't had anything to eat.

One out of the three guys barges into the room.
He walks to me and I back away until I hit the wall.

He increases his pace and places a handkerchief on my nose.

I struggle as hard as I can,but that only frustrates him more.

He places a sack over my head again and lifts me up.

My eyes water even more as it gets hard for me to breath.

When I open my eyes,I'm in a room. A much bigger room with random stuff and a lamp who's bulb is twitching.

My phone... My phone!.

I look across me to see it in pieces. Oh no...

I'm done for.

Someone walks into the room with a mask.

"Exactly three hours," the guy says and looks at his watch. "Those drugs are reliable"

When he walks closer, that's when I realize who it is..

I'm so sorry about the cliffhanger.. haha. As a matter of fact,it was never my plan to make this chapter like this,but the idea popped into my head,and come on.. we need some drama.

Next chapter coming up in a few minutes.
