Kidnapped

Chapter 20

Everything is turning and I feel like I'm floating. The woman named Cha Cha  and the man just left for dinner. I don't know if it was dinner. I just know that they have left.

I've been here the whole afternoon. I can see through the small window that it got dark outside. Unfortunately for me, I can't see any houses close to this place. There are just fields.

No one to call for help.

I don't dare to look down at my body. It's ruined. The many cuts from the car accident were healing well and most of them would even have disappeared but now.. I don't think the cuts will ever disappear.

Cha Cha has done enough to me now. I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to handle just one more session with her and her equipment. I could try to escape again. If I stay, they will get what they want. They will succeed their mission. It's escaping this hellhole or causing the end of everything.

I just don't know how. I suppose I can use my powers. I can try to concentrate on not destroying anything or they will make me cause it for sure.

If I only knew how I can focus. My mom shouldn't have kept it from my dad and me. She could have taught me to control whatever this is.

With a sigh, I concentrate on the anger I have felt my whole life in the hope that this is how I can control myself. After all, anger is one of the causes to wake up the monster inside of me.

My parents who were always fighting is the one thought that angers me the most. It always hurt me. I grew up with it. This is the thought that makes sure that I can feel the anger taking over my body again.

When the anger level in my body is high enough, I think of the happy moments in my life.

Mike

My friends

Five

When my thoughts reach Five, I can feel that I'm controlling it. That I can have my own will.

A smile comes upon my lips and I decide to start with the knots. Fortunately, it doesn't take long for the ropes to fall onto the ground and I can stand up.

It hurts everywhere when I move but I have to escape this awful place. I have to escape Cha Cha and her colleague.

My shirt is laying on the ground just a few meters away from me. I limp there, still trying to get used to the pain when I move.

The once white shirt is now mostly red from my blood. I lost a lot of it and if I don't find someone who can help me, I feel like I might bleed to death.

The door is my next object to use my powers on. I concentrate myself on the lock and it opening and after just a few seconds, it does.

"This power is handy" I think to myself and a smirk appears on my face.

Luckily, the two assassins didn't lock any other door so it doesn't take long until I'm out of the building.

Not wanting to look behind me, I start to run. I vaguely remember my way home. It seems like I'm hours away from the academy, while I'm actually just a few kilometers away.

Still, I don't know my way. I'm somewhere between many fields and there is no house that I can see. Wanting to get away from here, I keep on running.

My legs are starting to give up on running after just a few minutes. They can't anymore. I can't anymore.

I've lost too much blood. I decide to stop running but I can't allow myself to take a break. Cha Cha and her colleague are too close. The chance of them seeing me is too big. I need to go on so I start walking.

If someone would see me they would probably think that I came back from the dead.

It takes quite a while, probably hours, but I am now standing in front of the umbrella academy. I don't know how I did it, but I did.

Not wanting to just walk in, I knock.

Luckily, the door opens. There's an ape in front of me instead of a human figure. Pogo.

"Miss y/n?" He looks at my clothes full of blood and is probably wondering how I'm still alive. I'm wondering the exact same thing.

"What happened?" He asks with a worried expression upon his face.

I don't feel like telling him that I have been tortured. Plus I will have to tell him all the details and that might ruin our mission to stop the apocalypse. He can't know about the commission. About any of this.

"Nothing special." I answer, not sounding convinced myself.

"You are bleeding!" He says as he gives my t-shirt a better look.

I want to reply and ask him if he has something to put on the cuts but before I can do so, everything around me starts to turn and my vision becomes blurry. Five's face flashes in front of my eyes before I fall onto the ground and everything becomes black.

✧✧✧

I wake up to a comfortable warmth. One that makes sure I don't want to leave and makes sure I forget everything about Cha Cha and her colleague.

Cha Cha.

It doesn't take long for me to sit up straight and take in my surroundings. I'm familiar with room that I'm in. It's Five's. I'm laying in his bed.

My eyes fall upon my wounds. They're all cleaned and bandaged. My whole body is bandaged.

I stand up to put fresh clothes. I find some shorts and a t-shirt in Five's closet and luckily they fit.

After putting on the clothes, I walk out of the room. It doesn't take long for me to find someone. This time it isn't Pogo or one of Five's siblings, but the woman who Five claims to be his mother.

Five has told me all about her since I didn't believe that a woman this young could be his mom. Her behavior also wasn't normal but after he explained that his mother was a programmed robot, I understood everything.

"Hey. Did you clean my wounds and put bandages around them?" I ask Grace, Five's mother.

"Yes I did." She answers friendly combined with a warm smile.

"Have you seen Five?" I ask her.

"Number Five left the house after he told us that you weren't at school anymore. He wanted to find you." Grace answers my question.

He must've went to get me after school and he couldn't find me.

"If you do see him, can you say that I'm in his room?" I ask the kind robot mother in front of me.

"Of course dear. I will do that."

"Thank you Grace." I thank her and walk back in Five's room. I don't know what else I can do. I have no idea where he is.
