Running from Him

Chapter 5: He Strikes Back Again Part 2

April's POV
Recap

I open my eyes slowly looking around carefully. I saw my bag and phone on s table in the corner. I realized I was tied to a chair with a very tight rope. I had to get out of here. Looking outside, I knew it had to be around midnight. I looked down and saw a syringe which I guess whoever kidnapped me knocked me out so it will be easier. I turned my head as I heard a noise.

"Well, well, well you're finally awake." He said creepily.

End of Recap

I cringed as his voice bounced off the walls. I struggled against the rope but it was no use.

"April, why are you trying to run from me? You know I would never hurt you . . . yet." He said in a evil tone.

I chose to ignore him even when I knew it was true that he would hurt me. That was a bad mistake. He came up to me and grabbed my chin roughly.

"Talk to me when I'm talking to you! You know what will happen if you don't. We wouldn't want that same 'accident' to happen to you as that boyfriend of yours." He said as he slapped me across the face.

Again I chose to ignore him but then I changed my mind real quick as ten thugs came inside the room. I was surrounded my them and I just knew they were part of my father's gang.

"You're such a coward! You let ten thugs come and face me but you're too scared to do it yourself. You're a poor excuse for a father! I wish you weren't my dad because I would rather die than spend time with you!" I yelled to my father as I struggled against the rope.

Then an idea popped into my head. I remembered I still had my pocket knife hidden in my hair. While I was forming a plan, I noticed my father left the room and I was only surrounded by five guys now. I knew I could take them as long as my father and the rest of the guys came back.

"Excuse me guards, can you please let me use the bathroom? I haven't gone since this morning." I asked in my best fake sweet voice.

The guards looked at each other as if sending a message with their eyes. One guard came over to me and untied the rope slowly. He told me not to try anything but it seems I just had to be a badass. As soon as the ropes came off, I kneed him in the groin since he was still kneeling in front of me. I quickly jumped over the guy since he was laying on the floor with a hand over his groin. It seems I attracted the others' attention because all of them advanced towards me. I got the pocket knife from my bun and flicked it open. I just knew this was going to get good.

I started towards the first guy, he looked like he was in the early twenties. This should be easy. I went up to him and placed my hands in his chest. He seemed surprised as I trailed my fingers up his chest. Just for good measures, I whispered in his ear before kneeing him in the groin. Two guys down, three to go. When the second guy approached, I punched him in the face and tackled him to the ground before punching him again. I did the same thing for the others before I grabbed my bag and phone. I saw it was 2 am and there was 43 missed calls and 13 missed texts.

I looked around the room and saw a small window that I could fit through. I balled up my fist and punched the window shattering the glass. I quickly jumped out when I heard voices coming towards the room. I ran towards the mall but my legs gave out as sleep took over my body.

Zane's POV
Where is she? I was following the police officer's car when I spotted a body laying on the sidewalk. I stopped and went over to him and her. I was surprised to see her with cuts and bruises all over her body. What terrified me the most was a long cut along her leg that was covered in blood. The police officer called the ambulance so they can come and get her. I picked her up and heard her mumbling something quietly.

"I will get my revenge on you for what you did to Mikey." She said in between coughing before she was unconscious.

Who is Mikey? Who does she want to get revenge on? The questions swirled through me like a storm before loud sirens cut me off. The medics took her and put her on the stretcher. One of the medics came over to me and bombarded me the questions.

"Are you her friend? Do you want to ride with us in the truck and do you have any contact with her family?" The medic said hurriedly.

I answered all of her questions and grabbed April's stuff before hopping in the truck. I watched as the medics put a mask over her face. I called Jared so I can tell him.

"What do you want, Black? Can't you see I'm trying to sleep here!?" Jared said tiredly.

"No need for the attitude but if you must know April and I are" I said before I was cut off by Jared.

"Don't tell me you two are getting together because there will be hell to pay if you do. Anyway where is April, I haven't seen her since school? Don't tell me she's with you?" Jared said angrily.

"No why would you think we would get together but that's besides the point. a April and I are heading up to the hospital. She's unconscious and I think she needs surgery." I said getting frustrated as the thought of someone doing this to April.

"We're coming up there now." Jared said before hanging up.

Troy's POV (April's Dad)
"I want you to deliver that shipment of drugs tonight at the correct address this time." I said into the phone.

I hung up the phone and gestured for my guards to follow. April's right these guys are my guards,their not even friends more like acquaintances. I opened the door of April's temporary room. I was furious once I took in the scene around me.

All of the guards were unconscious and there was the empty chair where April used to sit. I looked up at the window and it was shattered. I yelled at the guys and decided it was time to get serious. This time instead of going to her I going to make her come to me. This time I'm going to take away some one she cares most about.

I'm going to take . . . . .
