The Night We Met

Chapter 15-Devil's Manor

Isabella's POV
i regain my consciousness and without moving too much i felt what was happening around me.

I feel the presence of someone beside me and my heart starts to beat faster. I panic internally as i try to think of the last thing I remember but nothing comes to my mind and everything in my body starts to hurt

I feel the person adjusting ropes around my wrists and several flashbacks came to my mind

"Whenever you feel like someone is tying you, always tense your muscles. This will help you in untying the ropes" dad's words rang through my ears repeatedly

Without moving too much, i tensed my muscles trying to remember how everything was supposed to be.

A few minutes later, the person went out of the room and i heard the door shut close. I slowly opened my eyes and it took me a while to adjust to my surroundings.

The dark old room gave me creeps and i looked around to see the room but there wasn't much to look at

A broken table in front of me, a window with no curtains and a bulb hanging right over my face flickering dimly.

There was no light from the window and my first guess was that it was still the same night. After my vision cleared i slowly relaxed my muscles and saw the magic work on its own

The ropes around my wrists started to roll themselves unfolding the knots to a lose

I used my mouth to quickly untie the ropes completely then untied the ropes from my leg. I got up and turned my ears towards the door to listen.

I could hear a few movements on the floor and so I quickly gave up the idea of escaping through the door. I looked around the room towards the window and quietly moved towards it

The window was broken so i opened the lock and look down. There was quite a distance between the floor and the ground. I bit my lower lip as tears started forming in my eyes.

I relaxed my mind and tried to recall what my dad told me

"Always remain calm and don't let your emotions get to you" i repeatedly told myself as  I looked around

In the room, i saw the ropes i had just untie myself from

I quickly tied them all together until the rope was long enough for me to use it and get down

I threw the rope down and waited for a few seconds until i was sure no one saw it.

I got on the window and carefully climbed off the window using the ropes

As soon as my feet touching the ground, i took off to running.

After running for almost 10 minutes i could see a road and a few lights along it. My hope came back.

I ran to the telephone booth and made a call

I called jenny first but the ring seem to go on forever until no one picked up.

I tried my mom next but she didn't pick up as well

I started losing hope in who to call when a person came to my mind.

I immediately dialed the number and prayed for him to pick up the phone

"Hello" he spoke and i sighed in relief

"Nicholas" i said almost crying and the other end went silent

No one spoke for a while and i thought he ended the call

"Isabella where are you?" Nicholas asked concerned

"I don't know, someone kidnapped me then took me to this place- im very scared Nicholas- please h-help me" i blabbered to him and he didn't speak

"I am coming to get you. Wait for me" he said and ended the call

I looked around the empty road and shivers ran down my spine as i recalled what happened before i lost my consciousness

I hid behind the booth so no one would see me and waited until he came

Every passing minute, my fear increased as the chances of me getting caught again increased. Nicholas wasn't here yet and i was almost crying out of fear

Suddenly i heard a car coming towards the booth and my blood went cold. What if its the kidnappers and they found me? I thought

I pressed my back against the booth and bought my knees close to my face controlling my shivering

"Isabella?" Nicholas's voice was like an angel's voice to me. I looked at him with teary eyes and he looked at me then my surroundings

I got up and he touched my face softly

"What happened?" He asked me his voice full of worry and i told him everything

Without saying anything he pulled me in a hug and I didn't protest. The night was chilly and saying i was a little cold would be an understatement

I looked at myself and noticed my torn clothes embarrassingly

Nicholas's gaze followed me and he took off his jacket as if reading my mind and  wrapped the jacket around me.

All This was happening when suddenly we heard a gunshot and then a car's sound. The sound came nearer and nearer until that was all i could hear.

Nicholas took my hand and dragged me to his car pushing me inside the car and locking the doors

"Nicholas" i shouted as he looked around the road and the car sped towards him.

He took out an object from the waistband of his jeans and it wasn't long until i realized it was a gun

Nicholas had a gun with him.
