Addy's Lullaby

Addy's Lullaby Chapter 29

I woke up a few hours later to find still being on the cold floor. I scoffed and wiped the sleepiness from my eyes, getting up to check outside once more. I walked over to the door and cracked it open a bit, when I looked into the hallway I saw nobody there. I ran quietly across to the other side of the room to get the rope sensing that it might be helpful. I also grabbed the candle by the door, if Justin or Ashton find me then hot wax would do me good. I slowly opened the door a little more and stuck one leg into the hallway, Easy now, don't wanna attract attention. I slowly crept up to the stairs at the end of the hallway, surely this couldn't be Ashton's house... This is way too big to be his. I had of course only been once but he showed me around everywhere. I do not remember this place. I looked up the stairs carefully, god please don't let the door up there be locked. I slowly walked up, two stairs at a time, eager to find out if it was unlocked. I stepped on one really squeaky stair and stopped completely in my tracks. "Damn!" I whispered. I listened closely to hear no one coming, I continued. Finally getting to the top of the stairs I tried the knob quietly, and it worked! It actually worked! I smiled and opened the door softly looking out into the next room, it looked huge and there was one big door down the the long hallway that seemed to be scattered with pews. I looked at it again, letting my eyes adjust to the dark room. Is this place a church? I started for the big door in the back and looked around, on one side of the room there was a big cross and two little lights lighting it up, on another there was a big stage and a preacher's stand. I started running to the big door and when I got to it I looked at the big brass handle. I opened it slowly and looked outside. Why was Ashton holding me in a church and where are my brother and sister? I closed the door and went back inside. Justin said that they were holding my brother and sister in the next room. What room? More importantly, what kind of church was this to have a room like that in the back of it. I started thinking, what other rooms would there be? I smiled, the confessions room! I ran by the stage and sure enough there was a door by the wall. I tried it but it was locked. "Crap..." I guess they had heard me, "Go away! Leave us alone! We didn't do anything wrong!" My heart melted at their cries. "Guys be quiet, it's sissy and I'm gonna get you out of there soon." "Sissy!" I looked around and I couldn't find a key or anything anywhere. "Guys, did they lock you up with a key or some other way?" I heard them shuffling around in the tiny room and then a key slid under the door. Oh god this is too easy. Almost... way too easy... I unlocked the door and they ran out hugging me tight. I hugged them back, shortly letting go, "Okay, follow me and stay quiet. Do whatever I tell you without arguing, got it?" They nodded and I started the walk towards the big door again. I opened it slowly, looking outside and making sure Ashton wasn't back. I walked out slowly and waved them on letting them know they could come out. We ran into this guy wearing a mask. I didn't know who it was until I heard his voice, "Hey, where do you think you're going?" I screamed and started running towards the trees, my sister and brother close behind. I tripped and fell, "Ow! Don't stop running, run until you get home, you know the way there!" They nodded and ran. They knew that I could handle myself. I scooted behind a tree and tried to slow my breathing. I could hear him cursing and the leaves crushing. I bit my lip and hoped he wouldn't find me. I didn't hear him anymore. I got nervous and looked behind me, I didn't see him. But when I turned around he grabbed me and held my mouth. I started screaming and he kept his hand on my mouth. I would have bit him if he didn't have gloves on. "Shh, it'll be alright sweetie. It'll be alright..." I had just noticed that he had a chloroform cloth in his other hand, I started screaming and kicking and he put it over my face. Soon, everything went black.
