Trapped

Chapter 12

Brooke's POV:
I woke up to Noah's voice. He was talking to his dad. Unfortunately, I couldn't make out what they were saying. I sat up and looked around again. Light was peering through the cracks in the barn so I obviously knew it was day time.

I stood up and Noah noticed me, smiling.

"Morning princess." He walked over to me, holding his arms out to me so I would hug him.

Ye right, like I was going to do that.

I looked him in the eyes with a disgusted look and walked right past him.

I heard something open and shut, Tom must have left.

I looked back at Noah and he was looking at me, hurt. I cocked my head to the side and looked him in the eyes.

"Feeling hurt now, are we? I'm sorry!" I said sarcastically as I slapped my hand to my chest.

"Did I hurt your feelings?" I looked him in the eyes again, with a fake sad look in them.

"As a matter of fact, you did." He told me, his temper was rising as he took small steps towards me.

"Poor you." I spat at him before turning around and sitting down in a corner, picking at my nails. I rested my head against the side of the wall and drifted off to sleep.

"Noah! help me out here."

I was awoken by Toms loud screams, does it ever get quiet around here?

I saw Noah stand up and walk over to what I now knew was a door now. This barn was pretty big not gonna lie. I heard something struggling, but it wasn't them.

Tom and Noah both reappeared in the barn, carrying a woman.

I gasped and shot up out of where I was originally sitting. My hand slapped over my mouth.

The woman looked young enough, long blonde hair and bangs. She was about my height, 5,4ish. Tears were streaming out of her beautiful blue eyes.

I ran over to them and tried prying them off of that poor girl. Noah's hand grabbed my arm and dragged me away.

"Stay. out. of. it." He whispered in my ear.

"What are you doing!" I screamed back at him, trying to push him away as I caught a glimpse of the girl being gagged by a cloth.

Noah grabbed my shoulders.

"Look, I don't know what's going on either, believe me, but stay out of it." He told me patiently. He pressed his lips against my forehead and went back over to his dad.

Gross. I wiped away the kiss and looked back at the girl. My heart was aching for her. Her arms were being tied behind a pole and her ankles were also tied together.

"Brooke, come here." Tom gestured his hand for me to go over to him.

I took small steps towards him, trying not to look at that girl.

"You get her cleaned up." He pointed at the girl. "Noah and I will be outside, don't try anything. I'll explain everything when we get back." With that both him and Noah left.

First of all, what was I supposed to clean her with? That thought ran through my mind for one second before I shook my head and ran over to her.

Her eyes stared deep into mine. I gently pulled the cloth out of her mouth.

"Please! Please let me go!!" She started hysterically screaming.

"Shhhh!" I put my finger to her lips. Her eyes wondered, but when she realized I wasn't planning on hurting her she stopped screaming, though the tears continued flowing.

"I'm Brooke, what's your name?" I wanted to at least know her name. Then i'll get us both out of here.

"Alexa." She said between her sobs.

"It'll be alright." I weakly smiled at her and rubbed her arm. It probably won't be.

Her head hung down and she looked at me again. "Please untie me." She pleaded.

"I'm sorry, I can't. Not only will I get in trouble but so will you." I told her. She raised her eyebrow at me.

I sighed and wiped away some of her tears with my hand. "Look, I'm Noah's "wife". I've been here for heaven knows how many months and i've been trying to get out. I don't know how you even got here, how did Tom get you?"

Her eyes widened. "I was walking my dog in this forest, and he came up behind me and grabbed me. I dropped the leash and I don't know where my poor Daisy is." She told me, trying her best not to cry but I could tell it was getting to her.

"It'll be fine. We'll get out together, ok?"

She nodded at me and sniffled.

"I just want to help you not get "punished" as they like to call it. Basically, never say no to them. If they ask of something, however hard it may be, dont say no or they will beat you up like youre no one." I looked at her sadly and she looked more terrified than she already was.

"I don't think I'm supposed to take the gag off of you so i'll have to put it back on when I hear them approaching."

I spent the next hour or so talking to her and reassuring her that everything will be just fine, which I can't even confirm myself.

I heard some rustling of leaves outside and quickly put the cloth back onto her mouth, giving her an apologetic look. She nodded, understanding.

I ran back to the corner I was in this morning and tucked my knees up to my chest, resting my forehead on them.

"Brooke, princess. Get up, dad has something to tell us." Noah's annoying voice called back to me.

I hesitantly stood up and walked over to him. "good girl." He praised me.

say that to me again and I will strangle you.

He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into him. Tom soon walked in and untied Alexa, whispering something in her ear. She looked me in the eyes and nodded her head at him. I could see tears forming in her eyes.

"I know we don't usually do this and it's not part of tradition, but she will be my new wife!" He looked at Alexa and smiled at her, kissing her cheek.

My heart dropped to my stomach, Wife? I don't know what else I thought she was here for but it most definitely wasn't this.
