Reina's P.O.V
I don't know how long I'd been down there, since there were no windows. Ariana came down once since she had promised, but that was a long time ago because I felt like I hadn't eaten in weeks. I heard someone's footsteps and I began to shake. It was Ariana.
"Oh my gosh, Reina I am so sorry." ariana said while walking over with a plate filled with food. "Everytime I would take some food to bring to you, Jack would throw it away. He's busy right now, upstairs I think." She untied me and handed me my food.
"How long has it been?" I asked while gulping the food down. "It's been a full week since the last time I came down here." She responded. "What are you doing?" I heard a man ask.
I looked up and it was Jack. He was shirtless and had some sweatpants on. I thought he'd be filled with anger, but worry and tiredness washed over his face. Jack walked over to me and I flinched. He picked me up bridal style slowly and I rested my head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry" he whispered so Ariana wouldnt hear.
While walking upstairs he gave me a kiss on the forehead. We made our way back to my room and he laid me gently on the bed. "Can I please take a shower." I whispered, barely able to talk. He shook his head and carried me to the bathroom. "I'll be right outside if you need me" he said while placing me on my feet.
My legs were so weak I couldn't support myself. I leaned against Jack and smiled "I think I need your help"

Reina's P.O.V
After Jack washed me he laid me back down on my bed. He'd been so careful and loving I almost forgot he was the reason why I couldn't do it by myself. "Do you need anything?" Jack asked while laying down next to me. I shook my head no and closed my eyes.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" I heard a man yell. "Sir you can't be in here" I heard a servant respond. Jack shot up from the bed and reached into his back pocket, pulling something out. A knife. He walked slowly to the door, turning off the room light. I sat in bed, shaking. Whoever it was they were pissed and determined to find the girl.
"Mr. Maloley you must leave. Mr. Gilinsky didn't schedule a meeting with you." The servant said. I jumped off my bed and ran to the door but before I could open it Jack grabbed me and pushed me against the wall. "what was that?" Nate asked. I heard his footsteps approaching my door. Jack covered my mouth with one hand and in the other he had his knife pressed against my throat.
Nate opened my door and something overcame me. I threw Jack off of me, using all of the power I had left in me. I collapsed onto the floor in exhaustion. "Reina" I heard Nate yell and in a matter of seconds he picked me up gently, bridal style. My eyes closed almost by themselves but I still heard and felt everything.
I heard Jack get off of the floor. "you can't take her" He yelled. I heard someone else's footsteps enter the room. "Here" the man said. It was sammy. He dropped what sounded like a pillow onto the floor. I opened my eyes and saw a duffel bag filled to the top with stacks of money.
"And that's just for tonight" Nate said while walking towards the door.

"I don't wanna lay in bed all night, I wanna go to the fair" I whined. After leaving the mansion, Sammy had said something about a fair and I really wanted to go. "Babe you need to rest" Nate responded while leaning closer to me and tucking me in.
"Please!"
"Fine, get ready" he sighed. As he was about to walk away I pulled him back, making him fall on top of me on the bed. "Come here" I whispered while grabbing his jaw lightly and kissing him on the lips. I ran my free hand through his hair, lightly tugging at it.
"Baby" he moaned. I laughed and let go.

"Reina hurry up" Nate yelled over the crowd. The line for the Ferris wheel was extremely long and he wanted to meet Sammy at the front. When we got to the front I saw sammy holding hands with a girl. I wonder..
"ARIANA!" I yelled while running over to her. She embraced me in a hug and it was our turn next in line. We sat in the Ferris wheel cart and it started going up. I was sitting next to Nate and in front of Ariana. "Nate" I whispered. "Yeah?" he whispered back
"I'm afraid of heights" I whispered into his neck. He chuckled and interlocked our fingers. Nate looked at Sammy and shook his head a bit. At the same time they began to rock the cart.
"NATE!" I yelled. We were at the top and I looked down. I closed my eyes tightly and held onto the pole that was in the middle. The cart slowly stopped rocking and I uncovered my eyes. The ride had ended and everyone was already off except for Nate. "you okay baby?" He said while extending his hand.
I shook my head and grabbed his hand. After we got off we went straight to the bathrooms, because everyone had to use them (except for me). I walked around the fair a bit alone until I saw a house of mirrors ride. I laughed and texted Nate to come find me. He responded with a "😏".
I walked in and realized I was alone. My reflection was everywhere and I got goosebumps. This seemed like a scene in a horror movie. "Reina" I heard a man whisper. It was Jack.
I looked behind me and saw a reflection of Jack. I didn't know what was real or what was just a mirror so I started running. "I can see you" he said while grinning. I hit a dead end and turned around. I jumped back when I saw a reflection of Jack. I walked forward and bumped into him.
I stumbled back and fell on my butt. "come 'ere" Jack said while crouching down. I got up fast and kneed him in the groin. He groaned and fell forward. I jumped over him but fell face forward when I felt his hand yank my leg back.
He got up and yanked my hair, making me stand. "You've been a bad girl Reina" he said while walking. "yeah well you're a psychopath" I retorted. He slammed my head into a mirror and let go of my hair. I felt the world spinning and touched my temple. I took out small shards of glass and felt the blood run down my face. My vision blurred and I looked up to see Nate.
"Nate, baby?" I asked while extending my hand. Nate slapped me and I shook my head, clearing my vision. It wasn't nate, it was Jack.
"You call him by his first name?" Jack yelled, anger laced in his voice. I shook my head yes, but the pain was overwhelming. I slowly blacked out.
