Saving Her

Chapter 31: Gone

Luna's POV:

I'm sitting on the ground, The tears have stopped. Or, more like they have run out. My back is against a road sign. I sit, staring at my feet as I hear the screeching breaks and doors opening and slamming shut.

I am yanked off the ground and into a hard chest. I slowly look up to see Zayn hugging me.

"Are you okay? Oh my god, where were the guards?" He asks, I just stare at him. "Luna?" He asks shaking me slightly. "LuLu, are you okay?"

"I...they took her, Zaynie. It's all my fault I should have noticed we were being followed, I should have noticed that they were speeding towards us. I was just so distracted, we were laughing and singing and happy and cele...I was distracted. I shouldn't have let myself be distracted. I know I'm not a part of all of this. But, I knew that it was a possibility. I knew stuff like this is out there and happens. It could have been me. It should have been me. Why didn't they take me? I'm your sister, everyone thinks you hate Audrey, and her father hasn't announced her as the heir yet. There was no reason to take her and not me." I ranted, burying my face in Zayn's chest and hugging him. "I'm so sorry Zayn. I am so fucking sorry." I begin crying again. He just rubs my back, letting me cry.

"Luna, it's okay. This isn't your fault. It shouldn't have been you. It shouldn't have been either of you. I will get to the bottom of how this was allowed to happen. I will find out who has her, and I will get her back."

He slowly lets go of me and Leo wraps me in a hug. "We'll find her LuLu. Fuck, this isn't your fault. It's not anyone's fault besides the person who took her." He whispers

He also lets go of me and I turn to look at my crushed car. I see Alice, Grace, and Jeremy talking to the police officers that I hadn't even noticed had shown up. The car they came in is next to them by the cop car.

"Come on let's get you home" Zayn pulled me back and into the back of an SUV, handing Leo the keys. Climbing in the back with me, he holds me to his side in comfort, my head on his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Zaynie" I simply whisper against him.

----------

We are now sitting in Zayn's house, trying to get ahold of anybody who knows anything. Mattio knows nothing, no one has called for any demands. No one knows anything about anything. It's like it didn't even happen.

Leo is pacing around one room on the phone with Mattio, Zayn is on the phone with the Stevensons. Jeremy is on the phone with the police, getting all evidence sent to them. He is also messaging his contacts in the States. Grace is calling her contacts in Ukraine and Armenia. Alice is speaking to her family and contacts in China and Japan. Daniel is on his way here after meeting with his contacts from Greece.

I am pacing.

Pacing from room to room. Listening to bits and pieces of conversations in each room. Nobody knows anything. It's like Audriella just dropped off the face of the earth.

Eventually, Daniel walks in and meets my eyes. He immediately rushes to my side and pulls me into a hug.

"Are you okay, Lu? I didn't know what was going on, all I knew was that Audrey was in trouble, Zayn and Leo were blowing through orders, and I had no time to fully absorb anything. But I knew Audrey was with you. I was so fucking worried, baby. Are you okay?" He rushes out backing up to look me over.

"You mean besides being unable to do anything except watch as ambushers tore my best friend from the remains of my car and drive away with her like a sack of fucking potatoes? I'm doing great Danny, thanks for asking" I scoff. "I JUST GOT THAT FUCKING CAR!" I yell
