Save Me ♦︎

Chapter 3

Everything went black.

When I finally woke up Austin was in the living room staring out the window. Matt was on the ground next to me and he was pretty cut up. I started to get up. Austin didn't even turn around when he blankly said "you better stay right where you are baby girl. if you want to live, stay right there"

Luckily, Matt was just starting to wake up too. I looked at me, worried. He brought his hand to his face and cried out at the pain he felt.

"hello sleeping beauties. wakey wakey." Austin creepily added. "Don't try planning anything." and with that he pulled out a handgun. Matt recognized it immediately.

"WHERED YOU FIND THAT? " Matt yelled at Austin and tried to stand up. But his leg gave out on the way up revealing the bad ankle break.

I knew this could be the end.
"Matt." I whispered. "Listen to me. He will kill you if you try to rebel. Take it from me. He almost killed me last year."

Matthew nodded. Wide eyed. He stayed silent for a while.

Austin commanded us "stand up, and walk down those stairs."

We obeyed. Exchanging nervous glances seemed to be not as comforting as I thought. We quickly made our way down the stairs.

"Carlie you sit over there. And put that blindfold on. " Austin pointed me towards a rickety wooden chair. I nodded and sat down. Matt was forced to the ground.

All of a sudden there seemed to be a struggle. The gun sounded.

Someone fell to the ground.
