Unexpected Encounter

Chapter 1

'Guys, I have to go home,' I say to the two boys.

'Owh, sorry,' Pierre apologizes and takes a step to the side. I chuckle softly and walk to the elevator. The elevator doors open immediately when I push the button. Quickly I step into the elevator and wave to the boys. They wave back and then the doors close. The elevator slowly goes down and once down, the doors open again. I walk out of the elevator and quickly walk to the entrance and exit of the hotel. It feels like I am being spied on! Quickly I step outside and start running towards my apartment, but behind me I hear swift footsteps. Could someone be after me?

Once I get to the apartment, I quickly run on to the stairs. Before the landlord can speak to me I have already reached floor 1. I don't fancy him at the moment! I run further upstairs and when I am completely upstairs I walk to the door of my apartment. Still I have the idea that I am being chased and quickly I search with my hands for my key, but I cannot find it. Ships, now what?

Suddenly I feel a pair of hands on my mouth, holding my mouth gagged. Help! What's happening?

'You're not going to resist, listen to me. Walk downstairs with me,' a voice hisses at me. I recognize the voice, but can't think of who from so quickly. So I was indeed being chased!

I want to say something, but I can't speak because of the hand. The person pulls me away from the door, from my home and pushes me towards the stairs. He pushes me hard handily towards the stairs and I almost fall over, but the person immediately pulls me against him. I think the person doesn't want, me to get on my sniffles.

'Run,' the person hisses in my ear. I swallow, but do as the person says. It's obviously a boy, I can clearly hear that in his low voice.

He holds his hands over my mouth as hard as he can while he has to walk with me. I want to try to kick him under the head, while walking down the stairs. But it fails, because he pushes me forward and I have to hold myself up to keep from falling. So we go down one floor at a time, until we are all the way down. Once down, immediately the landlord comes into the hallway. He wants to shout something at me, but I can see from his facial expression that he is suddenly startled.

"Get out of our way!" the boy yells at the landlord.

I see that the landlord is holding up his hands, but I don't know why. Through the corner of my eye, I suddenly see a gun in the boy's hands. Would it be loaded or not?

"Come on, move!" the boy says to me.

He gives me a gentle push in the back and I walk forward. I look at the landlord anxiously, but he quickly disappears into his office. Then I feel him lift me up and hold his one hand still in front of my mouth. How on earth can someone lift you like that?

His arm, with which he lifts me, clasps around my lower abdomen. It hurts and I trample my legs wildly in the air.

'No I won't let you go. you can't leave me, you really have to come with me,' the boy says to me. 'Who the hell is this? I hear something in his voice, betraying who he is. But I can't place the name at the moment.

We get outside and I see a black van parked in front of the apartment. He sets me down behind the van and opens the van, then immediately pushes me into the van. I fall stumbling into the van and the doors immediately close behind my back. Quickly I scramble up and look to see if I might be able to see the boy, but no. There is no window anywhere, it is completely closed around me. Where is he going to take me?

Hey, what do you want from me? Let me go!" I yell and bang on the wall, where the boy might be. Unfortunately, I don't hear anything back. Will these walls stop sound?
