Christina's POV||

When I opened my eyes, I took in my surroundings and I was in this big, empty, dingy room with a bathroom off to the side, and there was a closet across from the bathroom. It seemed like a master bedroom, which means I'm in someone's house.

It was so dark outside, there were no street lights or anything. Where am I?

I heard heavy footsteps coming toward the room and then some keys unlocking the door. The door opened and when I saw the person walking in, I wanted to jump out of my skin.

"You're up," Todd smiled, "you've been asleep for two days."

Two days?!

"Where are we?! What time is it?!"

"It's eight o'clock eastern standard time," he continued to smile.

"Eastern sta-- where the hell are we?!" I asked again.

"We're in New York."

Oh God. I'm gonna be like one of those girls who goes missing for years. I'm never gonna see my loved ones again.

"Todd, what the hell are you doing? Why am I here?"

He tried to stroke my cheek, but I turned my head. He continued to smile at me, then started playing with my hair. God, why is he such a creep?

"I had to get you away from Blake. He was no good for you. He didn't deserve you, Christina."

The crazy thing about everything he just said is he was being serious. He really is bat shit crazy.

"I mean, he just dumped you for no reason, and he claimed he loved you," he said, shaking his head and walking to the window.

"You set me up," I said kinda quietly, "he dumped me because of you!"

He angrily walked up to me, then slapped the shit out of me. "Shut up! You should be thanking me! I made your life better!"

"Yeah, because framing me so my boyfriend would dump me, then kidnapping me is making my life better."

He got angrier and ended up punching me this time. Maybe I should shut up.

"You're so ungrateful! I go out of my way to help you, and this is how you thank me?!"

"Well, you didn't help me; you made everything worse," I spat.

Dammit, Christina, shut up!

He punched again, but then he started going crazy. He started hitting himself in the face and crying, and it only made me more scared than I already was.

"Look what you made me do!" he shouted, "I didn't wanna hurt you, but you're making me angry!!"

He grabbed my face and cried harder, then stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

This is gonna be a nightmare.

Chasity's POV||

It's been two whole days since Christina was taken, and the police have no leads. They found the person's van on the highway, and Chris' cellphone was inside, but that's it.

I'm scared. All I've done the last two days is cry, shower, and stay in Blake's guest room. I miss my sister.

"Chasity?"

I looked toward the door, and Blake was standing in the doorway, giving me a sympathetic look. I motioned for him to come in, and he knelt down by the bed.
