Abduction

Chapter 3 - Unwanted Visitors

The strange man marches up the road. Lauren and Chantelle can't get back to sleep. Lauren is petrified what could happen. Now, the man knows where she lives. Both of them go downstairs and bolt and lock the doors. Lauren's Mum is asleep on the sofa. They both sneak back upstairs, trying not to wake Hilary. Lauren picks up the phone and throws it out the window. It hits the concrete floor with a smash. It is now smashes to smitherines. This way HE won't be able to contact Lauren.

*Beep Beep*

Lauren looks at Chantelle with the biggest sign of fear on her smooth, pale face. 

"Don't look," Chantelle demands Lauren.

"But..if it's him, how did he get my number for my original phone? The only people who know it are, my close friends and family?" Lauren wonders nervously.

Lauren looks at her phone. She knows straight away that it's him because the number is unknown. She starts to open the lid of her phone. Chantelle bites her lip, waiting for Lauren to read the message aloud.

"I now know where you live, I will be there, waiting for you. I love you Lauren, I want to be with you. If you don't love me, I will have to teach you to love me. If your friend ever takes a picture of me again, there will be hell to pay for her too." Lauren reads.

"Lauren, this has gone too far, you really need to tell your Mum now. She might be able to help." explains Chantelle.

"Chantelle, you don't understand I can't. I wil be in trouble for not telling her about the phone," informs Lauren.

"Surely it's better than being followed?" asks Chantelle.

Lauren gives the biggest hesitation. 

"I don't know Chantelle, you don't know what my Mum is like."

"I know that she will always be there for you no matter what. Sure, she might be a little mad at first but at least you won't be at risk of being followed anymore." Chantelle tries to convince Lauren. 

"Chantelle, I'm not telling my Mum. I bet this whole thing is just a practical joke anway. If you don't like that, then....then you will just have to deal with it." says Lauren.

"Fine, but don't come running for help from me when your being chased. Just don't get me involved in any of this. I tried to help you Lauren but your just so stubborn. So you can deal with this on your own." Chantelle says carelessly.

Chantelle gathers all her things and stuffs them into her overnight bag. She swings it over her shoulder and storms down the stairs. She walks out and slams the front door shut. Hilary wakes up from the noise. 

"LAUREN?" Hilary shouts.

"What Mum?" she answers back.

"Where's Chantelle gone?" 

"Oh, her Mum called, she had to go home because her room was a mess.." Lauren makes up.

"At this time of night?" Hilary asks whilst looking at her watch.

"You know what her Mum's like." 

"Alright sweetie, go back to bed, Love you." Hilary says while yawning.

"Love you too Mum" Lauren replies.

She staggers back up the stairs and throws herself onto her bed and lays there thinking. She turns her phone off, so she can't recieve any more creepy messages. She makes sure her window is shut and locked. She goes to shut her curtains when she sees the familiar figure again. But this time, there is two....
