Trapped

Chapter 9

Everyone ended up cuddled up and sleeping on the floor the night before.

Now it's morning and everyone is starting to wake up.

"I had a rough night, what about you guys" says Liam.

"So did I" says Victoria scratching her head.

"Yeah" says Trent.

Everyone looks around and see something's missing.

"Wait, where's Nate?" Liam asks.

What they don't know is that while everyone was sleeping, Nate went into one of the huge utility closets to hide. He sneakily went inside of it, found some clean, un-used towels and made himself a bed and he locked the door so nobody could open it and find him there.

He woke up, scratched his head and sat down on the towels.

"I'm starving to death but there's no food" he thinks to himself.

He checks his pockets and luckily he finds a Twinkie that he kept in there from yesterday and he had forgotten about it until now.

He looks up as he opens the package, "thank you God" he says before taking a bite.

Samara has been hiding in that one bedroom since last night.

"Let's bust out of here while we have the chance" says Liam.

"But what about Nate?" says Victoria.

"We'll find him and then bust out of here" says Liam.

"We've got to get out of here soon, our families are really worried about us and we'll starve to death if we dont" says Amber.

"No we won't" says Trent.

Everyone looks surprised when Trent pulls out his backpack that he was carrying with him and it had snacks inside that he was going to bring for devotion class the day before.

"I was going to use these for devotion class yesterday but that obviously didn't work out so here you go" says Trent.

Everyone starts picking what they wanted out of the bag.

There was enough snacks for everyone to have two or three but they decided to save the other round for another time.

"So having breakfast and you didn't save any for me?" Samara stands over everyone who is sitting on the floor eating.

Amber gives her a dirty look. She's still mad at what she said about Presley.

"I just want to take her out so bad" she thinks to herself.

Presley looks at her sister with a mad/upset kind of look.

"Give me some of yours" Samara stands over her little sister.

Presley holds onto her snack cake and gives Samara an angry look.

"No" Presley says with as much sassiness and attitude as she can.

Samara just steals a piece anyway.

"Hey!! That was mine you jerk!" says Presley.

"So? I'm your sister, I'm entitled to your things too" says Samara.

"No you're not! You're not even my sister because the real Samara would kill or hurt someone like you are doing now. You're a monster!" says Presley.

Samara pulls out the knife and puts it up to Presley's chest but doesn't press down.

"Clearly you've forgotten that you're another player in this game and I can take you out in a split second if I wanted to" says Samara.

"Killing your little sister over food? How heartless can you possibly get?" says Amber.

Samara stares directly into Amber's eyes and takes the knife and cuts a slash in her stomach.

"Oh my God Amber are you okay?" Victoria rushes over to help put pressure on the new wound.

Trent rushes into his bag and pulls out Liam's shirt that he had changed out of after football practice and asked Trent to hold onto since he didn't have a bag.

He tosses is to Liam.

"Liam! Help your girlfriend. Wrap it around her waist so it'll keep pressure on the wound and will stop the bleeding" says Trent.

"Got it!" Liam did exactly as Trent said to do.

"That's how heartless I can get. Wanna try me again?" says Samara.

Amber looks at Samara with a look of anger and pain.

"You're crazy Samara. You..You need help!" Liam yells.

"Looks like we got two more players out. I'm so sorry you will have to share a fate with my cousin" says Samara.

"I'm this close to pulling that damn hair of yours out and throwing you out the window and then locking it" says Liam.

"Go for it, see where it gets you. Just know that it'll cost you and possibly your girlfriend's life if you do" says Samara.

"You hurt my girlfriend I sware I..."

"Liam stop! Thats enough" Amber puts her hand on Liam's shoulder, interrupting his sentence.

Back at home, the families of everyone trapped in the house is panicking because their kids haven't returned home since yesterday. They rush to file missing child reports and make calls, trying everything they can to get their kids back home safe.

Lauri and Stephen, Victoria's parents, rush to the police department after the couldn't find their twenty year old daughter.

"How can I help you?" The police officer up front asks them.

"My daughter, she's been missing since yesterday and we've been searching everyone, calling everyone we know and nobody has seen or heard from her and..." Lauri tries to explain but she's crying hard at the same time.

"Ma'am I can't understand what you're trying to say. Please calm down and speak clearer for me" says the officer.

She explains everything over again after stopping the tears and hard breathing. She tells him details of what she looks like and what she was wearing the day she went missing.

"Okay I'll get right on it, I'll get a search team going and we will try our best to return your daughter safe and unharmed" says the officer.

"Okay thank you so much" says Lauri.

They walk out holding each other as the officer calls all the other officers working and calls for a search party.

"We've got a missing girl, name Victoria, hair color Brown, eye color hazel, height about five feet two inches, and wearing a black t-shirt with a green day band logo and dark blue shorts with black converse sneakers" says the officer over a walkie-talkie that all of the other officers in that county will hear.
