Chapter 10

Anna's P.O.V

I breathed fast, thoughts whirling through my head as I eyed the key that could give me my freedom back. This is the best chance I was going to get to run away, I knew I should take it.

I took a deep breath, reaching for the key slowly while I kept a close eye on Jason's sleeping face. Oh God, if he wakes up now, then I dont even know what to do, I will probably die.

With my heart pounding hard against my rib cage, I grab the key from Jason's pocket softly, cringing as Jason softly sighes and shifts. I freeze, feeling sick with nervousness.

I get up and tip toe to the front door, occasionally looking behind me to check that Jason wasn't awake. I unlocked the door, I knew my freedom was only a few steps away, and that over whelmed me.

I shook the key in the door, the key did not bulge. A feeling of dread washed over me, but I spotted another key hanging from the chain. I don't know how I managed to unlock the door with the correct key with my hand shaking, but I did.

I ran out of the door, not looking back, desperate. The front yard was pretty, a few neat flower beds could be seen here and there. I could see a huge steel gate a couple of yards in front of me. If I get past the front door, I am free....if Jason doesn't find me.

I reach the gate, panting. Looking at it, I relaize there is no other way to get out than to type the passcode in the small device attached to the side of the gate. I groan, resting my head on the metal bars, frustrated. I look through the bars of the gate; trees. Nothing but trees everywhere, no sign of civilization. Where the hell did Jason bring me?

Determined to get out, I decide to climb the gate. It might be nine feet high, but what else can I do? I have been quite good in gymnastics at school, so I am sure this gate wouldn't be a problem to climb. Just as I raise my foot up to start climibing, I hear a raspy voice behind me, Jason's voice.

"Going some place babe?" I cringe, slowly turning around.

Jason looks like he could kill anyone right now. His eyes are not the brown colour anymore, instead they are black. Strange how anger can change the colour of someones eyes. His face was contoured with anger, his nostrils were flaring as he breathed in. He stood steadily, glaring at me.

I gulped before speaking, "J-J-Jason....I-its not what you think it is....I-I." I broke of...tears filling my honey brown eyes.

What have I done? Why did I take the stupid key? I am doomed now.

"Oh, so lets hear it, what were you doing, climbing the gate?" Jason asked, his eyes narrowed into slits and his voice dripping with sarcasm.

I tried to come up with a quick lie, but my mind seemed to be frozen. "I...uhh.." I broke off, holding down my head, "I - was....was just trying to look at something over the gate...so...I thought..."

"DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO ME ANNA! Do you think I am that stupid? I warned you not to escape, you took no deed of that." Jason shouted angrily, almost making me jump out of my skin in fright. Tears freely cascaded down my red cheeks.

"How far did you think you were going to get huh?" he spoke, mocking me. "I tell you this Anna, you cannot get away from me. I own you. Where ever you go, I will find you and I will drag you back here." He carried on, maliciously.

Hot rage burned through my veins,I felt worthless, being talked to like this. "I AM NOT YOURS!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, sobs raking my body.

He pushed me harshly, pinning me against the gate violently. "Oh you are babe...and I think its time to teach you a lesson to make you realize that." He whispered into my ear.

I whimpered, my anger turning into instant fear. Jason grabbed my wrist roughly, digging his nails hard into my skin. I cried out as Jason started walking, dragging me behind him, without any mercy.

"Jason...no...I am sorry...I wont escape again. I promise - I promise." I tried to beg him, panic clear in my voice.

Not being able to keep up with Jason's fast pace, I tripped, falling on the ground that was filled with small sharp pebbles. I cried out as the pebbles pierced through my knees, but Jason showed no kindness. "Get the hell up!" he pulled against my arm, forcing me to get back up on my feet.

He dragged me into a small orchard at the back of the house. There were small apples on some of the trees, but what caught my eye was the cross in the center of the orchard. It was the same sort of cross that Jesus was always portrayed as being crucified on. It had a little bench below it so some could sit on it. The cross also had two metal cuffs hanging from it.

I tried to slow down, hoping Jason would change his mind, but he just tugged on my wrist harder. He pushed me down by my shoulders on the bench, smirking down at me.

"Jason...please...I wont..." I continued begging, but Jason interrupted me, "I know you wont escape again. This is just to make sure that you don't." He said securing my hands to the mental cuffs on the cross.

I struggled with all my might, but of course, Jason was a lot stronger than me, and my hands were in the metal cuffs in no time. "There." Jason stood back, looking at me. "It will be dark soon. Around here, there is no light pollution, o when it goes dark, it is pitch black. I am leaving you out here until I am satisfied that you have learnt your lesson. " Jason said, giving me a last smirk before walking out of the orchard.

I screamed Jason's name again and again, hoping he could come and release me from these cuffs. I struggled to get my hands free from the cuffs, but they didn't bulge; Jason had made sure I wouldn't be going anywhere.

I sighed, by body convulsing with sobs. I cant believe Jason did this to me. Is this what love is to him? He is a crazy bipolar guy, and I am never, ever going to love him.

It was almost as if someone was pulling a dark blanket across the skies, as the light slowly began to disappear. I had seen starts before, but not as I could see them now. the whole sky flickered with them, not just the few I could see looking in the night sky at home. The lack of light pollution allowed her to see them much clearer.

At any other time, I would have appreciated the night sky for it's beauty, but in this situation, all I could do was cry in terror and loneliness.

An hour later, and the darkness was complete. It was just as Jason had said it would be, total blackness like I had never seen before. And total silence. Even when it was quiet at home, there were always little sounds coming though the windows, but here, the silence was deafeningly silent.

A few drops of rain splattered on my face after a while, I looked up at the sky, startled. The stars had vanished, instead there were dark angry clouds in the sky.

The thunder boomed loudly as it started raining heavily. I could do nothing to protect my self from the cold rain.

I screamed in utter terror at the top of my voice, as another thunder rippled through the sky, but my scream was deafened by the thunder.

Did Jason know I was scared of thunderstorms? Had he put me out here knowing the weather forecast? It must have been a co-incidence, but I am very doubt full.

I sat back, leaning against the cross, preparing to spend the night out here soaking in the rain; I knew Jason wouldn't come out to get me.

After all, he was twisted inside, and loved seeing others suffer.

He is a monster.
