ONLY HIS

Buried

≈Angelica≈

I couldn't tell you how long I've been in here

There's no windows, I've not been given food and I just sleep because I have no energy

The door flies open and hits the wall making me flinch as one of them comes in the room

"Come on doll face" he pulls me up by my arm and flings me over his shoulder, taking me through an old house that looks almost abandoned and outside to a barn where the others are

He drops me to the floor with a thud

There's a small opening where I'd be able to escape if I got the chance

But I've barely walked five steps since I've been here, I've not eaten and there's three of them; all over 6'

"Get up"

I scramble to my feet with shakey hands

"We decided to let you say goodbye, your welcome"

"Thank you" an almost smile comes into my face

"What is the number?"

I tell him as he types it into the phone before it rings

"What?" my Francos voice snaps making me smile as tears run down my cheeks

"Franco" I whisper

"Angel?" his voice pipes up and I hear clattering in the background

"Franco" I sob "Franco I love you"

"No baby, tell me where you are!"

The blonde man snatches the phone away

"No you said I could say goodbye!" I cry as the other two kick me to the floor

I try and pull myself away "you said I could say goodbye!"

"Fine" he sighs and puts the speaker of the phone next to my mouth as he crouches in front of where I'm being held down

"Go on then, say goodbye"

"Franco" I sniffle "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." my voice cracks "I love you"

"I can find you, I will. I love you, please" I can hear him cry

"I have to go" I say, barely audible

"No-" he's cut off by one of the cousins hanging up the phone as I cry

I'm dragged back up and watch as the phones smashed before I get pulled out of the barn and over a field of soil

I see a car driving through a wall of trees and harshly throw my body back and out of the two mens' grip before I run

I sprint as fast as I can along the soil and grass as I hear them yell after me

I trip on a tree root and scramble to get to my feet, practically crawling before my body gets picked up and thrown against the floor

I'm held down while the other two beat my whole body until I can barely move and blood coats me

"Stupid bitch" the tallest grunts as he throws my over his shoulder

I don't know how long he was walking until I'm roughly set in a wooden, square box

It's so small I'm still squished even with my legs set tightly to my chest

The lid gets pushed onto my head before I hear it get drilled shut, no air holes

I barely move as I get pushed into a hole, practically unconscious

I stay awake for as long as I can but there's no air, my knees are pushing against my lungs and my head was hit too many times to count

Then I fall into darkness

≈Franco≈

I'm sat with multiple detectives as they ask for more information even though they know everything I do

My phone rings

"Sorry" I mumble before answering it

"What?" I snap

"Franco"

My breath catches in my throat

"Angel?"  I whisper as all eyes snap to me and my phone gets put on speaker

"Franco" she sobs "Franco I love you"

Hot tears run down my face as the phone number gets taken

"No baby, tell me where you are" I stress

She goes quiet before I hear her pained yells
"No you said I could say goodbye!"

"you said I could say goodbye!" she screams as they try to track the number

"Fine, go on then, say goodbye" we hear a mans voice

"Franco" she sniffles and her voice breaks as she calls out  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I love you"

"I can find you, I will. I love you, please" I cry

"I have to go" She barely sounds

"No-" I'm cut off

"I have a location!" I hear someone in the back call out

"Sir you need to leave" a detective tells me as people run around to get their gear

"Please let me come"

"Sir-"

"Please, please I'll do anything" I beg

"Fine" she sighs "but you understand it may not be good news, we may not find anything or we may find the worst"

"I understand, just please"

"Okay, come with me"

I get ushered into the back of a police car with a bulletproof vest strapped on me before we speed away with sniffer dogs and helicopters

After a drive of over an hour we arrive at an old rickety house surrounded by fields

I get out of the car as some officers head into the house and others spread around the fields with the sniffer dogs and media helicopters watching above us

I follow over the field for what feels like hours but can't be more than 1 as the sun starts to set

"OVER HERE!" one of the men with a dog call as the soil gets dug up

Everyone rushes over with shovels and dig until a tiny wooden box gets pulled up

They drill into it and pull the lid off before my Angel gets pulled out and they lay her out on the floor

She's covered in bruises and blood

One of the medics starts chest compressions

Please

Please

Please

She gasps and coughs as she awakes and sits up the best she can

I fall to my knees on the floor next to her and pull her to my arms as she cries into me and I hold her safely

I finally have her
