Adriano

Chapter 1

I woke up to the sound of men talking.
Another language actually. Italian to be exact, I didn't speak it I just knew the sound of it with my father talking Italian around his friends when I was younger. I couldn't see a thing I was in darkness then my senses slowly began to kick back in. It felt like I'd hit a blow, everything seemed so weird and slow.

I could feel the soft fabric around my eyes and cloth that had been shoved into my mouth with my tongue. I felt dizzy and sick I wanted to cry but I kept quiet mostly because I thought that was a safe option but I also was unable to. my throat was so dry and burning each time took a gulp.

I wiggled my fingers to check I still had hands surprisingly they weren't tied back they had just been placed behind my back. My bracelet jingled.

Shit, I thought to myself, I forgot I had that on
They're going to know I'm up.

I quickly removed the fabric so I could see the men before they saw me. It revealed I was in a car with blacked out windows,red seats and two men in the front of the car.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?" I half screamed while yanking the cloth from my jaw almost breaking it.

Ouch I thought, should've done that gently.

"Shit diesel shes up" the guy in the red mask exclaimed while making eye contact with me from the mirror.

"You didn't give her enough!?" Growled the guy in the blue mask turning and looking at me.

"Well I don't know how much your supposed to give!" The red guy snapped back raising his left hand in anger.

I started banging on the windows and kicking at the door to try and escape.

"WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? WHY DO YOU WANT ME?" I cried.

My face was red and burning up I felt more sick and confused by the moment.

I looked at the door to my right while the two men argued half in English half in Italian.

What if it doesn't have a lock? I thought to myself. I could escape and run back home or someplace safe... Oh don't be so stupid if they kidnap someone of course they're going to lock both doors. I rolled my eyes at my stupidity. I could feel my chest burning and my mascara dripping down my face. I started banging at the glass with my shoe in my hand for more force.

"Right pull over! Pull over now or she's gonna smash the window! This isn't my car either Adriano will kill me!" The guy in the blue mask shouted.

Adriano? Who the hell is he? I wondered.

The car came to a stop on the side of the road both men scrambled out. The door flung open and the guy in the red mask grabbed my arm yanking me out. I fought back and then kicked my foot up so my heel hit him in the jaw.

"OW YOU LITTLE BITCH!" he cried in pain with a few drops of blood dripping from his lips.

I kicked my other heel from my foot and ran away as fast as I could.

I looked back once to see the guy in the blue mask follow me and the guy in the red on his phone calling someone while wiping his mouth.

FUCK! i muttered in a panicked tone.

--------

After following all the back streets running through mud and puddles almost tripping on curbs for an hour or so I finally made it home.

Shaking and crying I locked the door after me threw on a new outfit so the men wouldn't notice me and tried to find my phone for help.

No no no no please no! I cried.

The men a aaa must have taken my phone.

I sat down on the grey sofa shaking and crying in my hands.

"Fuck fuck fuck what am I supposed to do now?!"

Blu my golden retriever came bouncing over to me and sat at my feet with his head on my leg.

He cried at me for attention.

I slowly lifted my head up sniffing and stroked him, smiling through my tears.

"Who's a good boy?" I asked burying my head into him.

He jumped up onto the sofa and I cuddled him as tight as I could not letting go feeling safe with him.

After a few moments I blacked out.

------------

I woke up once more and looked at the clock on my wall, 11:33pm. I looked to my left to see blu lay on his back with his paws by his stomach.

I felt so safe with him.

My attention went to the door when I saw the handle being turned.

WHAT THE FUCK! I thought to myself.

I picked up blu and put him in the kitchen under the table grabbing the first thing on the table I saw that I could use as defence.

a knife from my knife stand.

I ran towards the door making sure I shut it behind me to protect blu.

I darted under the sofa keeping my knife close to my chest. The door opened slowly...

"It's them..." I whispered "how did they find me?"
Who are they! And how do they know where I live?! My mind was racing with questions and ideas.

I wanted to cry my chest was burning but I couldn't give away my hiding spot.

The two men in the masks walked in slowly. The one in the blue mask was whistling as he walked in.

"Come here sweetheart!" he shouted.

The guy in the red mask followed in Scanning the room like a hawk.

"shhhh hey you do know your supposed to keep quiet right? Then take them by surprise." He whispered swinging his gun in his hand.

"Oh" the guy in the blue replied.

They looked at each other and one of the guys eyes darted from the sofa to the other guy. He whispered something in Italian then suddenly both their eyes were drawn to the sofa where i was hiding...

Then directly into my eyes. They saw me...
