Taken

Seventeen

Louis wakes in a familiar basement, his head throbbing and his side killing him. He's been beaten, again, he can tell. The pain is intense and everything comes rushing back to him.

Louis sits up and leans against the wall trying to steady his breathing, he's about to have a very severe panic attack and can't control his breathing, he's so scared.

His hands are tied tightly in front of him and he struggles but doesn't get anywhere

"Hello there beautiful, I've been waiting to see your pretty eyes again....it's been to long" Stanley says as he walks out of the shadows and towards Louis.

Louis whimpers as he watches Stanley smirk at him, he comes to sit down opposite Louis

"We don't have much time together my beautiful, but we will make the most of it won't we" Stanley says.

"Please let me go" Louis asks innocently, as tears fall down his cheeks

"I can't do that precious, I need to finish what I started. You were the one Louis. The one I was going to let live, the one that was going to be mine forever, kept with me. Now, I have no choice but to kill you like the others. I need to start again and I can't do that with you still alive" Stanley tells him.

"Why" Louis chokes

Stanley gets up and then turns the light on in the basement. There is a metal table in the middle of the room, like last time and Louis has to suppress the flashbacks.

What catches his eye though is the pictures all over the walls. The pictures of himself, Louis is everywhere and he's terrified.

"Do you like it? It's all for you. I didn't get to show you it last time, but it's finished now. It took me so long" Stanley says as he admires the walls

"You....you've been watching me?" Louis asks, he knew that Stanley was stalking him but to see the walls covered in his pictures. Some so old, makes him so uneasy.

"I've been watching you for years Louis. Since you started at London Elite. I was at the coffee shop on campus one day, by accident actually but I saw you walk past and you took my breath away. I've been following you and watching you and loving you from afar for years. Then I had you and I needed you, you fulfilled something inside me and I needed to keep you close. I had originally planned to kill you like the others but I couldn't. I needed you. Then you were taken from me and I'll never forget the day they took you. I vowed to get you back and well....I bided my time and here we are" Stanley smiles

"I don't understand.....I..." Louis says upset

"You're not getting away this time Louis and if I have to kill you to keep you and to make you mine forever then I will" Stanley says and Louis sees his eyes turn dark.

"Please just let me go, please" Louis pleads desperately, he doesn't want to do this again. He can't be here again.

"Oh Louis, do you think I waited all this time to take you, just to let you go? My brother took the heat for me for a reason. He would do anything for me and now he's going to get off, Jeremy will go to jail and take the blame and No one else is going to touch you. Not those fucking cops, no one, you're mine, remember that" Stanley says as he leaves the basement locking it behind him.

Louis panics himself silly, he needs to find a way out of this himself, he can't stay here. He has no idea if Harry and Scott will be able to find him, they took two months last time and he can't be here that long, he just can't.

Because he has a cast on his arm, he manages to get his arm free from the rope binding his hands together, Louis is so sore but he needs to get out of the basement.
