Chapter 26: Taken/Missing

Chapter 26.... Taken/Missing

I finally awoke sometime later. My eyes opened, it was dark all around me. I didn't know where I was, how could I? I couldn't see anything around me. I slightly moved my arms, they stopped, I pulled downward yet they wouldn't move, something was preventing me from moving. I looked up a bit to realize that I was tied to a bed post, both my arms

I went to move my feet. Again they were restricted, I looked down a bit to realize that my feet were also tied to the bed post. I went to scream for help but my words were muffled, a cloth gag was tied around my mouth, I tried screaming for help again. I heard someone's footsteps, I could be in a house. Fear instantly hit me, like a train, that could be John. I grew silent as the footsteps got closer. Silent tears fell down my face as they got closer and closer and closer, then soon they were right at the door. I could see a little piece of the door with a peep hole. I held my breath, then they started to walk away. I slowly let my breath out as the footsteps started to die out

I laid there thinking, why was I here? What does John want with me? What is he going to do? Looks like my night is going to be sleepless. I tried thinking on how I was going to get out of here, I couldn't call 9-1-1, or anyone because I have no phone. My mind wondered to Chris, he would find me, he should've stopped by the house, he should know that I'm missing. But two questions hit me like a ton of bricks; one where am I? And two how will Chris find me? I guess my night wouldn't be so long because the room started to get brighter, that's when I realized there was a window, the blinds were closed so I couldn't see outside. As the room got brighter I realized I was in an old motel, everything was old and dusty. The place looked like no one had taken care of it for many years, I wondered where I was

I listened carefully when I heard a car pull in. I heard one door open then shut, my heart started to race as I heard footsteps come towards the door, then they stopped. I heard keys jingle and they were shoved into the key hole. The key turned and the door clicked, my fear was rising as the door opened. The tall figure stood there looking at me, their shadow came over me. The figure walked in and shut the door. That's when their face was shown, I started to kick and fuss as he got closer to me. He gave me a smile and he walked towards me, I started to scream. But that's didn't work because he sat beside my bed. He kneeled beside me and started petting my hair

"Hush Aurora." He said

He gave me a kiss on the cheek and I started to cry. He wiped my tears away, he brought his hands behind my head

"Lift up your head. Trust me." He said

I lifted my head up like he told me too, I wasn't going to disobey him because, he holds my life in his hands. He untied the gag and slowly brought it around, then took it out of my mouth. I could feel how dry my lips are and how chaffed they are, with all the saliva I had in my mouth was now on my lips

"Here is some water." He said

He held a bottle of water to my mouth. I wasn't sure to trust him, I eyed him down. I was so thirsty that I brought my head up and took the water. It was liquid heaven to me, I finished the whole bottle but I didn't care. He took it away from my mouth when I was done

"There there." He said

"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked

"Because I love you." He said as he ran his finger through my hair

"If you loved me you would let me go and wouldn't harm me."

"This is my way of showing that I love you. Plus you promised me that I was the only one." He said

"You walked out on me." I said

"You left me." I added

"I came back." He said
