Taken

"I was completely frozen..."

I could feel his presence. He didn't even have to say a word. I knew Seth was there... I could hear his footsteps...they sounded louder than ever... as he walked closer and closer to me... I felt him breathing down his neck, and I felt a lump in my throat develop. I swallowed, his words sending a shiver down my spine.

"How... dare you." I felt his grip strong on my arm, it burned. I tried to scream, but he covered my mouth with his other hand. "How fucking dare you disobey me! I came back to make sure the door was locked, but it turns out, I had much more to worry about! What did you do? Did you call someone? Were you trying to escape you little shit?!" I kicked and pushed, trying to get away, but it was no use, he had me too tight. I could barely breathe.

"You have to be punished for this!" He then started dragging me around the house, closing all the curtains and blinds, locking all the doors. I could barely breathe, fear washed over me. Was he going to kill me? Track down my family? What was he going to do to me? Seth threw me in to a corner of the kitchen, towering over me as I coward in to the corner, shaking. Tears streaming down my cheeks, then he raised his hand, reaching out and slapping me, hard. I let out a yelp and grabbed my cheek. It stung, I could barely breathe. It hurt so much. I moved my hand and looked down, staring at the blood stains. He hit me again, on the hand, causing it to bruise.

"I said you are never escaping!" He yelled before throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me down to the basement. I fought as hard as I could, pounding on his back. I tried to scream, but nothing comes out. He throws me on to the bed, tying my hands and ankles up.

"I can't risk someone finding you. We're leaving!"

"Leaving? But Seth we can't just..." Too late. He was running around, packing things he thought we might need. I couldn't move. He was extra careful with these ropes. Oh god it hurt so bad. The burns. He tied them way too tight.

"I have another house we can go too." He said rushing up the stairs. I heard the locks this time, and I knew he was serious. I tried to kick off the ropes, I bit and chewed at the ones on my wrists, but I just couldn't escape. This was it. This is it. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. Nobody's gonna find me here...he's gonna kill me.

I heard the front door open and shut once again, followed by the basement door. I felt Seth lift me up, and he carried me over his shoulder.

"I think I found a little flaw in your plan." I said with a slight smile. Maybe we could stay here, if I convinced him. "How are you going to get me, and all this stuff that we need, to another location, without being spotted?" I asked, almost smiling. I had him. He had to put me down. Make us stay here. He had too.

"I drove the car out to the backyard, simple. Nobody gets back there unless they have a key." I bit my lip and slumped over, relaxing as he gripped my torso tightly. Defeated. I felt completely defeated.

Seth practically threw me in to the back seat, laughing as he slammed the door shut, locking it, before going around to the other side, starting up the car. I kicked and kicked at the door trying to break it open so I could roll out... a last ditch effort at escaping, but of course, since I'm not strong enough to do it, I couldn't.

Slowly, I started to fall asleep. This was probably going to be a long ride.... and I needed my energy, if I was ever going to escape.
