Some intense topics in this chapter.
Liza's POV:
It's happening all over again; someone I've grown close to has their life on the line, and it's all my fault. Someone abducted Maya. Her parents are raging - they're going to press kidnapping charges against David and I if we can't prove that it wasn't us within a month. The only evidence we have is a note. The police are scanning the bedsheets, widowsill and note for fingerprints. So far, it looks pretty bleak. We've already lost 5 days. The police already know about Taylor - she's still on the run. I know must have been her. Maia has no other connections - except her deranged parents. And I doubt even they would take her. David freaked out when she disappeared- she's been living in his house for s while, so to have her gone all of a sudden is crazy. I lean my head on his shoulder.
"I'm like a curse, David. This happens every time I get near to someone. It happened to you, Scott, and now Maia."
"You know that isn't true, Liza."
I sigh and walk away to get some water. On my way to he kitchen, something catches my attention. A bright red piece of paper waves in the window. I open it and read it.
"David!"
He rushes over, reading the paper.
123 Mullberry Avenue in twenty minutes, or we kill her.
Maia's POV:
I wake up in a dark room, my hands tied behind me with itchy twine. Come to think of it, I feel blood rushing into my face. I can see a small light below me and my feet straight above me. I'm freaking upside down?
"Hello? Who's in here?"
I hear a few footsteps, and a sliver of bright white light blazes right in front of me. A young woman bends down in front of me. I gulp, recognizing her piercing gaze immediately.
"Well look who the cat dragged in."
"Taylor, I can explain."
"Don't fucking bother. Your only rule was to stay -"
"That isn't true and you know it!"
"The next time you interrupt me, you lose a body part. As I was saying, your only rule was not to leave. And you did."
She grabs the rope tied around my waist, pulling me only a few inches from her face. My heart thumps rapidly in my chest. I can't tell if my toes are numb from being upside-down or from fear.
"What's worse, you sought out an old... employee... of mine. I had her for a while... but not as long as I'll have you. If she can't find you soon, you're dead fucking meat."
She lets me go, leaving me swinging. Her heels clack out of the room, leaving me in darkness again.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSHIT!!!! TAYLOR'S BACK!!!!! I thought I'd throw in a little curveball... I'm hosting another open concept contest soon. I hope you guys are enjoying this1!!1!1!11!1!11!!! Sorry for typos.
