Abducted (UN-EDITED)

Chapter 4

I woke up on the bed in my room. I sat up a little too quickly and my head suddenly began to hurt. I looked around and was startled to see Miles.

"Agh! You scared me!"

He chuckled and walked over to the bed.

"Sorry. You know, you're beautiful when you sleep."

I tilted my head at him in confusion.

"You watched me sleep? Why?"

I asked a bit too quickly, so I sounded nervous.

"I have to protect the girl I'm assigned to, that just happens to be you."

I layed back down and sighed.

"So I'm not beautiful when I'm awake?"

He came and sat on the bed next to me.

"No, I never said that."

He began to stroke my cheek that sent shivers down my spine.

"How long have I been out?"

He looked at the clock on the wall and back at me.

"A day. The new girls woke up."

I jumped out of bed and ran to the door.

"I want to meet them!"

I was out the door before he had the chance to respond.

I went into the living room and found most of the girls there.

I saw Madeline sitting in the single chair singing to herself. She noticed me walk in and jumped up.

"Zariah! You're awake, I was so worried about you!"

 I smiled and hugged her.

"I'm okay, thanks. I'm gonna introduce myself to the new girls."

She let me go and walked me to the girls.

"Um, Hi. I'm Zariah."

They all looked up at me.

"I'm Taylor."

"Jordan."

"I'm Mary."

They all introduced themselves except for Brittney.

"You're Brittney, right?"

I asked hoping she would acknowledge me.

"What's it to you?"

I shrugged and looked at the floor.

"Never mind then."

I directed my gaze to Mary. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot.

"Mary? Can I talk to you alone for a minute?"

She looked nervous and a little uneasy.

"Um, okay."

I guided her to my room.

I shut the door after her and gestured for her to sit.

"Mary? How old are you?"

She cowered her head and looked at the floor.

"12."

I gasped.

"Oh my gosh, you're only 12?! I have to talk to Josh."

I stormed out of the room and wandered the huge house in search for Josh. I finally found him in the kitchen making food.
