I walked to the cafeteria where I usually wait for Siya to come so we can walk to his condo together. Everyone at school now knows that we got traditionally married during summer holidays and the girls hated me which I was cool with it. I walked to the bench with Hamidah talking none stop.
Hamidah: So you coming?
Me: Where?
Hamidah: The bonfire!!!
Me: Nope.
Hamidah: Come on
Me: I have a test tomorrow so I need to revise.
Hamidah: I know you have revised all along
Me: Not really but....
I felt strong hands grip me so hard and a small injection going in my neck and its was lights out.

Siya
I saw Hamidah crying and running towards me with the school security and I knew something is wrong. I looked to where her bag has fallen to the floor and everything was scattered everywhere and I knew something has happened to Raya.

Raya
I woke up to a banging headache and opened my eyes found myself in one of the most beautiful rooms ever. I got up and sat there looking around trying to figure out how did I get here. I felt a tiny cramp on my back and I laid there just as the doors opened and I sat up and looked at the young man and he looked familiar and than it hits me.
Me: Denver?
He smiled as I looked at him.
Denver: Hi Raya
Me: what am I doing here?
Denver: nothing
I looked around and my heart started pounding so fast and I looked at him trying my best to be calm
Me: Denver
Denver: No begging, it doesn't look good on you.
Me: Why?
Denver: Why not? He has all the money in the world to spare, so why not take his most precious person and ransom her.
Me: I thought you were his friend.
Denver: I am. Just that things are tough and just than an old man walked in. I really don't understand why he was doing this. Denver comes from a rich family. He has money. Now why kidnap me?

Siya
We had cops everywhere. The South African council and Ambassador was working with the Americans to help find her. My parents were on they way and I was not coping at all. Its been 5 hours and nothing has been happening.
Kazi: Here
He gave me a glass of water just as my phone rang and it was a text with directions of where I need to drop 8 million dollars. And a picture of her sleeping on the bed peacefully.
Kazi: what is it?
Me: They want 8 million dollars
He looked at me as if he has just lost his mind.
Kazi: Fo you have?
Me: Ill have to see my accounts
Kazi: Are we telling everyone that its a Ransom. I nodded as I went to the other room to tell the FBI about it.

Raya
The burning pain on my back was getting more intense so I drank water as I felt my back as if its breaking. I got up and tried to walk that when I looked down and saw myself covered in blood as I screamed my lungs out. The door busted open and I saw Denver had panic in his eyes as I went down and it was lights out for me. I could hear them panicking and fighting about taking me to the doctors or not as they were slowly fading away and a big yellow light was welcoming me and hugging me in its warmth.
