Emily Sanders and the List (on hold)

Chapter 11

Flashes of bright yellow lights irritated my closed eye lids as I barely started to ease my way into consciousness. I didn't know what was going on or where I was. I attempt to peel my eyes open. The water and the fuzziness making it hard to keep them up. My eyelids drooped as I slowly turn my head to try and find my bearings. I couldn't feel my body, it was to numb from weakness. However I knew I was laying down. On what, I don't know.

I was also moving even though my body wasn't. I slowly try to bring back my senses. Closing my eyes I only pay attention to my ears. They were clogged, muting everything except for the constant ringing. I focus in as I try to catch some sort of noise. The ringing slowly dies down and soft music takes its place. It's barely a whisper but I can still hear the strumming of a guitar and a smooth sweet voice. A couple seconds later I hear a soft thumping sound as if its raining. When I open my eyes once again I try to refocus them. With all my strength I lift my head up half an inch only for it to fall back down.

After a few more tries I get my head up an inch. My eyes still blurry, I start to get frustrated with myself. I mean I can't even lift my head up. I'm pathetic. I look in front of me blinking away the tears as it hurts.

I can barely make out the shape of a window. A car window I'm guessing. Water droplets covered it and dripped down. Guess I was right about the rain. The light flashes continue to zip by. Probably street laps. I drop my head back on the seat and turn it to my left to see two leather seats in front of me. But who's driving? O shit have I been kidnapped? Is it that scary man? I don't want it to be. I start to breath heavily again. Causing me to be dizzy once more. I close my eyes and control my breathing. Finding peace with the sound of the rain and music, I fall back asleep.

A few minutes later I'm awoken by the sound of the car stopping. O no, this is when I die. The man is going to do terrible things to my already fragile state. I hold back the tears as the front door opens. I still can't open my eyes I'm so tired. Not to mention drunk. My heart quickens as I hold my breath. The back door opens softly but I still flinch.

"Shhh. Kitten you're ok its just me." A comforting voice said to me.

I lift my head. Even though my vision was glazzed I could still see that all to familiar face.

"Caleb" I breathed out in a whisper. He probably barely heard me. I relax my body, never being so happy in my entire life.

He bent down a little so I could see his face better. It was laced with so much concern as he stared at me.

"Don't worry youre safe now" he whispered. I try giving him a smile but not being able to feel anything I have no clue if it was actually there or not.

He shifted his body a little away from the car. His arms started coming towards my body. I start to panic, the man and his greedy hands touching me popping in my head. I flinch away causing Caleb to immediately stop moving. His face gaining more concern. He pulls away a little. It's silent for a minute.

"Can I touch you?" He asked me with a pleading look. Telling me I can trust him.

I know Caleb won't hurt me. I only flinched cause it brought a flashback. I look at him for a few seconds. If anything he will make me feel safe I tell myself. I nod my head.

He gives me a small smile as one of his arms slowly reaches for my wrist. He brings my arm up to my face and places my hand over my nose. Well over the towel that's over my nose. When did that get there?
