Pitches Of Astra.

***Her past***

Astra.

The past:

*Same night.

I walked the sidewalk in the dark hours with my heels in my hands, eventually i got tired of hanging around in the gala where i didn't know anyone apart from Cole and his father. Plus the heels were becoming slightly unbearable to my feets and the driver was gone.

Stupid shoes.

Unusually , the road was empty and there was not a single sign of any oncoming vehicle or Taxi coupled with the cold and chilly night of the west coast of Utica.

I turned into the next street,it was dark so i couldn't see the other side of the street.

Finally i was at the passenger stand at the bus stop. I sat on the bench while i Dialed my dad on my phone so
he could send any taximan to pick me up.

He didn't pick so i sent him a text.

The night was unbearably chilly and it was getting very dark. My perfect masterpiece of a dress didn't help in any way ,maybe i should have thrown my pride in the garbage and asked Cole to let me ride along with his model date.

I saw movement of shadow behind me but i ignored It, on a chilly night  no one seemed to be outdoors not even a motorcycle. The movement got scary  so i got up to leave,at a moment i never expected something hit me from behind.

Or someone.

I tried turning around but he gagged me from behind and blindfolded me before I could think of screaming.

“H-here's my purse,y-you can have any amount”i tried saying but i sounded like a fibbling duck.

I thought he was a robber and i was Willing to give him everything. I tried to draw out the gag so i could scream but he held my arms behind me so much that the pain was unbearable.

I didn't attend a gala to see Cole only to get kidnapped. He didn't want my money or my phone.

He wanted me.

Putting up a fight didn't save me either because he choked me, he pressed a piece of cloth to my nose.

“ple-”i muffled. Whatever he put on the cloth knocked me out.

I thought he eventually killed me because I blacked out.

         *******************
I had awoken to some noises coming from  the hallway , the place looked like an abandoned store house. It smelt like old concretes and vinegar.

Somehow i managed to untie the ropes i was bonded with thanks to my earrings.

Peeking through the door, i heard noises from the end of the hallway. I saw stark and distant shadows at the end of the hallway.

The building though abandoned had only a doorway, the doorway at the back was covered with barrels of things i didn't know. My eyes roamed around and i found an empty barrel that was cut open  at it's side.

Tiptoeing to it, i was careful not to make a sound else they'd notice that i had somehow managed to untie myself.

There voice was audible so i listened as they argued in loud voices.

“We're gonna get our own fair share of the damned money if we do as we were instructed”

“if we do that and the cops find out he'll come after us”

I didn't know what they were talking about .

Do what?

I asked myself but got no answers.
