Happy Easter!!!🐇

Samantha's POV

I dont know where i am...

It is dark in here,

The air is damp,

There is an odd aroma of must that drifts to my nose once and a while. I dont know how long i have been down here and i am unaware of when i will get out but i have a feeling they need me alive.

I have had some time on my hands and I've been using it to think. To think about my life and all of the events leading up to now. I even thought a little about my parents. My dad mostly.

I never told Grayson about my dad only because i didn't really know him, he disappeared when i was 5 and i haven't seen him since. My mom never talks about and i am too afraid to ask so i just push it back but every time i do a memory wedges it's way into my thoughts and it is the only memory i have of him.

We were at a park, my father was pushing me on a swing. I would giggle and he would pull me back and then let go causing me to accelerate forward. The memory is short with little detail but it is my favorite.

I think that might be why i love the little park at the end of the street so much, and why i opened up to Grayson so much while we were there.

Grayson..

"She's in here." A voice says from the outside of the door and my heart sinks, light slowly seeps into the pitch black room causing me to squint my eyes.

Once my eyes focus on the 2 figures standing in the door. Both faces are unfamiliar to me but the presence was a dead giveaway on who was in front of me. The man to the left had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye.

The man on the left is Marcus.

Grayson's POV

*just so there isnt any confusion this is all going to be earlier then Samantha's pov so hers is in the future rn if that makes any sense at all"

"I called Jeremiah and he is meeting me wherever we end up and you can drop me off and go after mom and Cam." I speak to the two.

"What if they never stop driving?" Cameron asks.

"Well, we are getting closer to them so we are going at a faster speed..." Ethan inquiries.

"Once we catch up we will shoot the guy and get Samantha." I say plainly looking down at my lap. After that the car is quiet and i am left staring at that damn d...ot.(bitch u thought) The dot that just so happens to be the love of my life.

"Bro i dont think i can just deop you off at some random place." Ethan says looking at me.

"What do you mean?"

"You are my brother, I cant just leave you somewhere to get killed. And knowing you you will do something stupid to save her." He says looking worried.

"Im not going to let you get yourself killed for me." I say furrowing my eyebrows in thought.

"Isnt that the point? We are there for each other so we can protect each other."

"My way of protecting you is not letting you go in with me." I tell him.

"Well that'd be some shitty protection on my part." Ethan laughs and punches my shoulder jokingly. I smile and then my face drops into a straight and emotionless expression. The reality of this situation is starting to set in. I could lose my life today, or even worse Samantha could lose her- I'm not finishing that. Im not letting my mind reach those thoughts, not yet.
