I found myself concealed within an ancient, decrepit cupboard, its aged wood prone to creaking loudly at the slightest movement. Inside, cobwebs draped the corners, adding to the eerie atmosphere of my hiding place. With bated breath, I attempted to peek through the narrow gap between the cupboard doors.

Suddenly, my elbow inadvertently brushed against the door, emitting a sharp, unmistakable noise that betrayed my presence. Moments later, the individual  was evading entered the room, alerted by the unexpected sound.

As I heard approaching footsteps, my eyes caught sight of Sylvia standing before me. Without hesitation, I swiftly emerged from the creaky old cupboard and enveloped her in a tight embrace.

"Oh my God! Thank goodness you're safe! How did you get here? How did you escape the kidnapper?" I queried, still holding onto her tightly, overwhelmed with relief and emotion.

"Look, Ed, there's no time to explain here. We need to go... Now!" Sylvia urgently interjected, snapping me back to the present moment. I grasped her hand and we hurried towards the exit, but as fate would have it, we collided with The Kidnapper.

There it stood, ominously wielding a baseball bat.

"You...?"

*Phone rings*

My phone was ringing and I picked it up .

"Hello?"

"Yes , is this Edward ? Do you know Sylvia?" The person on the other side said and I got already worried . I could hear sirens in back .

"Yes , is Sylvia ok?? Is she fine? Where are you?" I said panicking.

"Calm down sir, there's been an accident or something. She was found near an old house . She is fine and is in hospital now please come here . " He said trying to calm me down but I wasn't.

I declined the call and reached the hospital . I started panicking at the reception counter and asked the room where she was admitted.
I met the man who called me from her phone .

"Hello , thank you so much . Is she fine ?" I said thanking him .

"Yes she is , but she is not awake yet . What was she doing there do you know anything?" He asked.

"Yes , it is her parents house , she went there to meet them . " I said .

But if she went there then why her mother or father is not here ? Her sister couldn't be here as she studies in abroad.

After thanking that man he left handing me Sylvia's phone .
I dialed her parents number to know why they are not here .

"Hello ? Mom , are you not home ?"
I asked.
