Taken

Chapter 21

I turn to look at Mallory and she doesn't look at me. She had her head down and nervously picked at her nails. I looked at the other girls who were staring at me and they looked more scared than I did. Their lifeless eyes were huge and watery.

The man starts pulling me towards the exit but I resist. He turns to look at me with anger written all over him. I shake my arm out of his grip and I run to Mallory and hold on to her. I know it should be the other way around since I was older but she knew these people and I didn't. I was terrified and i didn't want to go anywhere. The man starts tugging on me so I could let go but I don't.

"Mallory help me please," I tell her while crying. She was crying too and I felt her give me a tight hug.

"Mallory! Let go!" I heard the man bark out to Mallory. I felt Mallory flinch with fear and she dropped her arms from around me. I sobbed harder and still held on to her. The man starts pulling me off of Mallory and tells the other girls to help him. They do as he says and i feel more hands on me trying to pry me off of Mallory. The man pulled on me harder and soon I was off of Mallory. Everyone bit back tears and some were motionless.

"Sorry," I saw Mallory mouth to me and she dropped her head in shame. But I didn't blame her. There was nothing she could of done.

The man is dragging me out of the room and I try to get away but it was useless.

"Please don't take me with him, let me go, please" I say through sobs. But the man just laughs.

"Pathetic," he says with disgust and throws me inside a room. The room had little lighting and the walls were burgundy and looked like if it was velvet wall paper. He shuts the door from behind him and he stands guard. In the center of the room was a large bed. It looked like a regular room with its hair dresser and night stands. I turn to look at the man who brought me in and he looked normal. I run to him and try to push him off to the side so I could get out but he didn't even move. I didn't even move him a centimeter. He laughs at my futile attempts to escape and he holds me and pushes me to the center of the room. He had my back pressing on his chest and I tried to get away from him.

I hear footsteps and I start freaking out. I try kicking him but I couldn't manage to hurt the man since he had my back against his chest.

"Please help me!" I tell him. But he doesn't even care. He turns me around so I could face the door.

I see the knob turn and my heart starts racing. I needed to get out of here. The door opens and I see a man walk in with a smile on his face.

"Ms. Donovan, you never disappoint," he says. I recognized his voice and I realized it was Tom. I hadn't recognized him since at the masquerade ball he was wearing a mask and the room was dark. He walks closer to me and eyes me. I closed my eyes and wished that the dress wasn't so revealing.

"You can go now Victor," Tom says. Victor lets me go and I run out the door but Victor was right behind me to pull me back into the room. As soon as I was going to step out the door again, Victor closed it right in my face leaving me alone with Tom. I heard a lock and I turned the knob but it was locked. I started banging on the door so he could let me out but he wouldnt. I looked around the room and there was no windows!

"Now Ms. Donovan, don't be alarmed." He says and walks closer to me. I take a step back and my back hits the door.

"Don't come near me," I tell him but Tom chuckles. He looked like if he was in his 40's and he was taller than me. He had black hair and was white. His eyes were dark brown almost black and he had a hint of a beard. He wasn't ugly but he wasn't handsome either. He was wearing a black suit. He grinned at me showing me all his teeth.
