Chapter Twenty Six: Free

*Alexis POV*

"Get up." He said kicking me in the side. I groaned, everything hurt. The bruising around my wrists was terrible now.
"Get up!" He said again slamming his hand on the table making both of us jump.
"Stand up and face the wall." He told us. I glanced at her terrified, was he going to kill us?
"Now! Come on!" He yelled and we both obeyed. I heard his footsteps behind me making my heart race faster.
He put a cloth over my eyes tying it so tight it hurt, but my entire body already hurt so I didn't care.
He walked over to the other girl and I assumed tied a blindfold around her head too. What if we died, I never learned her name.
I heard him rattling the chains she was bound in. "Come on." He said, I heard him walk back over to me and also mess with my chains.
He pulled me so I followed him trying not to run into anything. He pulled us so fast we were basically running.
I heard a door open and suddenly I felt the sun making me gasp, filling my lungs with fresh air.
I heard a car door and he lifted my feet off the ground throwing me in what I believed to be a van.
"Where the hell are you taking us." The other girl said as he threw her next to me.
"Shut up." He said chaining us both to the van walls. He shut the doors and a few seconds later got in the front and the car started.
We drove for a while, I could tell he was going fast, maybe someone almost found us. The car stopped quickly causing us both to fall over from where we were sitting up.
"What's happening?" She asked.
"I don't know." I said trying to listen for anything that might be a clue for where we were.
The back doors opened again and he grabbed her. I waited in silence, only listening to the birds. I tried to break the chains but I was tired and soar and I gave up after fifteen minutes.
I heard footsteps and he grabbed me, pulling me out of the car and walking me down a gravel path.
The gravel suddenly went away and the ground was hard. He turned me slightly and shoved me downwards into a chair binding my hands behind it.
I could hear the other girl moving around causing a sense of relief to fill me, he wasn't killing us yet.
The blindfold fell away and I blinked letting my eyes adjust to the sunlight that was streaming through the broken glass windows dancing with the dust.
We were in an old warehouse building, outside the broken windows I could see the trees. It was just a huge empty room, there were no other floors or rooms but there were two doors, one on either side of the area.
"Take a good look around," he said facing the windows, "Because in a couple hours you will be dead."

*Kian POV*

"How did you know?" I asked looking at Eric and Cameron who stood in front of me.
"Rickey called me." Cameron said simply, "He told me what happened and bought the tickets so we could fly down and help, and now here we are."
I stood there shocked, they flew out to California to help? That was the sweetest and most idiotic thing they could have ever done.
"Kian come here!" Aiden called. I ran over to where Aiden stood next to Olivia who was on the phone jotting down information.
"Thank you, call us if you remember anything else, yep, goodbye." She said running over to the computer. "A neighbor spotted a man matching Nick's brothers description shoving two girls in the back of a van about half an hour ago." She said typing something in, hitting enter, and sitting down.
"What are you doing?" Eric asked. Olivia looked up surprised glancing from me to Eric and Cameron.
"Um, I'm sorry I don't think we have met." Olivia said frowning.
"I'm Eric and this is my fiancé Cameron," He said shaking Olivia's hand and then Aiden's, "Alexis is my sister."
Olivia and Aiden both nodded at the same time. Cameron frowned, "Hey are you two twins?" She asked making me laugh.
Olivia looked back at the computer forgetting about everyone else and working on something.
"Look!" She said, "It looks like their foster parents owned a warehouse they used for their four cars and two motorcycles out by the old foster home."
"You think that's where he is taking them?" Eric asked.
"It's my best guess." She answered standing up and heading over to her desk. She picked up a walki talki asking for all available officers and we all ran out to the cars getting in and driving to the address she had on a piece of paper.
As we drove my mind raced wondering what we would find when we got there. What would I do if she was already dead? No I won't think like that, I can't.
We parked half a mile away from the warehouse that matched the picture on screen of the computer.
Olivia turned to us as she got out of the car pulling out her gun, "Stay here." She said
We watched the officers approach quietly, I could feel my skin crawling, I couldn't sit still.
"I can't wait around like this." Eric said running his hands through his hair. Cameron looked at him with empathy, "I know baby but you have to, it's safer that way." She said.
Eric looked pained, "But she could be hurt." He said. He started shaking his leg which shook the entire car, I knew how he felt.
"Eric please." Cameron said putting a hand on his leg.
"No I can't." He said opening the door and running out into the trees to approach the warehouse without being seen. I was tempted to follow him but I stayed to help calm Cameron's nerves.

*Alexis POV*

I hung my head, I was so exhausted the pain was numbed.
"Hey, I'm sorry this is happening. At least now we will be free." I said looking at the other girl. She looked back at me smiling silently, we were both ready to die. I had given up hope, no one was coming.
I looked at the setting sun taking a breath, he would be back any second now.
"My name is Alexis." I said looking at my feet, I guess I felt she needed to know.
"My name is Andrea." She said quietly.
We sat in silence then, listening to the leaves rustle the trees as the birds chirped.
I heard his footsteps but I didn't look up, there was no point.
"Alexis!" A voice called quietly. My heart jumped, I looked up to Eric running in. I took a breath feeling all hope restored.
"Eric what the hell are you doing here!?" I asked, I could feel myself smiling.
He looked around running up to me, "Saving your ass." He said smirking. He turned to Andrea nodding and she gave a little tired smile in return. She twisted slightly and began working at her ropes while Eric stepped closer to me. He brushed the hair out of my face smiling, "Kian's outside waiting." He walked around me untying my wrists and then kneeling down to untie my ankles.
"We are gonna get you out of here." He said smiling.
"No your not." A gunshot rang out filling my ears. I looked up at the kidnapper who stood in the doorway with a smoking gun. I frowned looking back at Eric.
Horror filled me and I screamed as he fell over, a round bullet hole in his forehead.
Andrea looked away but I couldn't.
More gunshots rang out and I looked up to see the kidnapper fall over dead.
FBI agents swarmed into the building followed by Kian and Cameron.
Cameron stopped in dead in her tracks sorrow filling her eyes. She ran over to Eric collapsing next to him in tears.
"No!! Why! Oh god why!!" She screamed holding his face in her hands. He looked as if he were sleeping except for the pool of blood that surrounded his head.
Kian untied me and I fell into his arms letting everything I had been holding back out.
We sat there as the police swarmed us and I cried into his arms.
********
He opened the door for me and I walked into the house slowly, my legs could barley move.
The guys were waiting on the couch and when I walked in they all stood up and took turns hugging me.
I took a shower which lasted for at least two hours. I sat down letting the water run down my back and over my face and I cried, how could I ever live a normal life after this. I felt ruined, broken.
Cameron stayed with us since she had no where else to go.
I sat on my bed, it felt weird, I felt out of place. Cameron walked into my room, her eyes were red and swollen and she carried something in her hand.
"I'm pregnant." She said looking at the pregnancy test in her hand as tears ran down her face.
I stood up walking over, I pulled her into my arms and we stayed like that for a while. Then we both got in bed and slept because being awake hurt to much.
