Our Happily Ever After

Chapter 39: Kidnapping

*Smash! *, I heard something break downstairs.

'What was that?!' I thought sitting up in bed.

I grabbed one of the cat potions bottles from the cabinet in my room along with a flashlight and cautiously went to the upstairs hallway. When I got to the top of my stairs I carefully peeped over the railing to try and see what it was. Nothing. I crept downstairs, potion in my hand ready.

"Laurance? I-Ivan?", I called out. I was really hoping it was just a raccoon and not Ivan. Laurance wouldn't break into my house if it weren't an emergency anyway.

"Hello?", I called again. No answer.

I looked around the dark room again. I didn't see anything except a broken vase and window. I put down the potion bottle and flashlight beside me as I stooped down to clean up the dirt and stuff from the mess. I picked the things back up and about to search the room one more time. I turned around and a dark figure was in front of me. Before I could scream for help the masked person grabbed me, trapping my arms, and making me drop the potion and flashlight.

"He-he. What a pathetic excuse for a witch.", the figure said. I could definitely tell it was a man.

I tried struggling to get free but it was no use. He was too strong and he covered my mouth so I couldn't scream.

"Now, now. Relax Lucinda, or else you'll make it harder for yourself.", my eyes widened. How did he know my name. I swear if this is one of Ivan's guys I'm going to slap the crap out of him when I get free.

I managed to elbow him and get free pushing him into another vase.

"Help!", I screamed out, hoping that someone could hear me. I tried running for the door but was stopped again by the same man.

"Let me go!", I demanded when he grabbed onto my arm.

"And when since has that plea ever work darling. Now you better shut it or else I'll make you.", he held up a silencing potion.", I nodded furiously because I knew that no help would come if I couldn't call out later on.

The man tied my hands and just before he gaged me I asked, "Who are you and what do you want with me?"

"He-he, who I am is none of your business, why I want you.., you'll find out soon."

Ugh, last time I was kidnapped I didn't like the outcome. He put on the gag and left to go downstairs.

"No..., the book.", I mumbled to myself.

I scooted over to where my phone was on the floor- since it fell over in all the chaos. My hands were tied in front of me so I tried searching for any number I could use to get me out of this pickle. Hmmm..., The first number I saw was Laurance. I quickly unblocked him.

I pulled down the gag, and pressed the record voice note button and whispered, "Laurance, help. A guy broke into my house and is kidnapping me. If I am gone by the time you get here, he has most likely moved me somewhere else. There are some potions upstairs in my bedroom and where I make my potions. You could probably use them to find me."

I heard footsteps coming back so I threw away the phone in the corner and scooted back to where I was before. Then pretended to try pull of the gag.

"Hey. Not so fast.", he said. He put back on the gag and tied my hand behind my back.

The strange man put a paper on my counter after putting the book in his car, then carried me to his car, putting me on the back seat and then we drove away. The outline of Lovers Lane far behind me. What did he want with me? Whatever it was it must be bad.

'Laurance, please, anyone. Hurry and find me.'
