WARNING(S): DOMESTIC ABUSE MENTIONED, LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE
The cold was biting away at my skin. Goosebumps pricked along my arms under my jacket and I huffed, running a frustrated hand through my hair. I had been standing on the side of the road for thirty two minutes after sneaking out of that house—such a risky thing to do when my father was clearly still in one of his worst moods—and I was beginning to believe that I've simply been scammed. After I had stated my name and birthdate, I had made sure that the bruises on my face were unnoticeable with makeup, and had walked to the location the man on the other side of the phone had said.Now I think that I've gotten my hopes up for nothing.
I groaned, rubbing my eyes tiredly before dragging myself away. Another let down. Apparently the world was against me. Maybe I had done something to deserve this treatment in another life? Perhaps.
I was about to round the corner when I paused, turning back as the rumble of a vehicle neared. I cocked a brow and hesitantly walked over, catching sight of a large, black van parking right where I had been standing.
A sudden cold sweat accumulated around my neck and I swallowed hard. This was definitely suspicious. As I neared it, coming to a stop right at the side where the man from the phone had told me to go, the door slid open.
"Password?" a man in a mask asked from the driver's seat.
"Red light, green light," I answered immediately. He nodded once and gestured for me to hop aboard. I licked my lips, hesitantly approaching despite my earlier frustration. Was this the right thing to do? What if this was a trap? What if I died or was kidnapped by this strange man behind a mask?
Eventually, I forced my legs to work and stumbled into the van. The door closed with a click. I glanced around, noticing I was far from alone. People lined the seats, all sitting still. "Uh, sir," I called out, lightly touching the man's shoulder that sat next to me. His head rolled, eyes closed. I whipped around, finally noticing why it was so quiet: everyone here was asleep. I turned back to the driver wildly, eyes widening. I caught sight of him staring right back at me.
