Emily
My head aches as I come back round, my senses adjusting to my surroundings.

My lungs feel tights and automatically, I gasp, breathing in a deep breath of fresh air. My body sits uncomfortably against the door of Lucas car. I rub my temples, attempting to remember what happened but it doesn't come to me. I sigh, slumping back down against the door with my eyes closed; a sense of comfort filling me. My eyes open once again when I realise Luca isn't with me. I moan and sit up. We are in a parking lot for a small mall.

Yeah... we were going to buy clothes. But I made him mad. Why? Why would I do that? I have told myself over and over to not piss him off and I'll be ok, but I still done it.

And right now, I can't even remember what I done.

I take in my surroundings, looking around the parking lot at every person; Luca nowhere to be found.

This is it, my escape. I can't wait any longer, I need to go back home with my family.

I shake myself from the thoughts when I realise I have no idea how long I was unconscious for and Luca could be returning any second now. I have to rush this if I want a chance of getting out.

Once I unbuckled my seatbelt, I bolted out of the car, running for my life. Thankful for the fact it was unlocked.

I pass many cars until I come to a couple packing up their car with groceries.

"Hey!" I shout at them. Both of their heads turn to look in my direction.

"Please, oh my god. I- I have been kidnapped by a crazy man, please you have to help me." I cry, my words hardly audible over my cries for help.

"Is this a joke?" The man laughs.

"What? No I'm telling the truth call the police." I frown at them.

I look around making sure he isn't coming.

"Where are your parents?" The woman asks with a concerned look.

"Probably in there fucking house where I should be! Are you deaf? Do you not hear me telling you I have been kidnapped? Or are you just brain dead?"

"Are you ok? Do you need us to call someone?" Her voice a little lower now, speaking to her husband. "Hun, I think she's mentally ill."

I take a deep breath and laugh.

"Please, okay I'm not mentally ill. Call the cops, my name is Emelia hart. I was kidnapped by-"

My words were cut off by a knife going through the woman's head. The man screams at the sight, to shocked to move.

Not much time passes before the knife is ripping open his throat, covering me in blood.

I run as fast as my legs allow,towards the store but Luca catches up to me in seconds, dragging me back and cutting open my leg.

I fall back into his body from the pain..

"Were you trying to leave me?" He sighs.

"Luca, please." I start to cry.

He carries me back to the car and lies me in the back and gets on top of me.

"I thought you could be trusted Emily, I guess not."

He opens up my mouth and drops a round white pill into it from his pocket, followed by water. He holds my jaw shut, forcing me to swallow it.

A few seconds later, everything goes black.

Luca

After Emily drifts off, I get off of her and shut the back door, opening the front.

God, I tried to warn her. Why couldn't she just listen.

I knew she would try run from me. I was hoping that she would be smarter than that and just listen but no, she tried to leave me.
