Perfect (On Hold)

Chp 24 - The story behind the scenes

Ember's pov :

I open my eyes and find darkness everywhere. I'm so tired and so miserable. I find Alex on my lap and look down at him sleeping like a baby. Past days have been hard on him protecting me and all but in all due of this I think I started to feel friendship, although I have no idea what he thinks. Is it okay to be friends with a person who claims to be my enemy?
I want all this to end and go back to university, study and eat and meet Lauren. Lauren I miss that girl so bad :( if she was here I think I would be happy. Sure she doesn't know about all this but what if she came back to the dorms and sees that me and Alex are not there? What will she think? Ahhh.....she won't like it. I feel guilty like I've cheated on my best friend who is basically my life!!arghh!

"Whatcha thinking so hard about?" Suddenly Alex's voice startles me.

"Me? N-Nothing" I push my self away. Alex sits up.

"Why the stutter?"

"Who's stuttering ? Not me"

"My bad then"
A train of thoughts ramble in my head but atleast I'm alive till now, weird that I did not pass out yet. But I have a huge question. What could be the possible connection between Alicia and Alex? Are they related or did something go on with them? Like love or one night stand? Or Is it just that I'm imagining too much?

"Too much thinking will give you brain damage" Alex says
"Mind if you share your thoughts?"

"Just thinking"

"What are you thinking?"

"Just stuff" I'm not telling him what I'm thinking. He might even explode at me in the back of a dirty truck and I don't want that.

"Okay........Hungry?" He asks.
"Not really" I respond. Who would feel hungry at this time? I just want to get outta here that is what I'm looking forward to.

"Should we try to escape or just go with the flow?"
I give a 'are you kidding me?' Look. Like seriously what is it with him? "Just forget about escaping they will find us anyway let's go with the flow" I say. My throat hurts because of the screaming.

With a sudden jerk the truck comes to a halt. The door opens and those weird looking people drag us out of there. I try my best not to open my mouth and just like Alex said go with the flow.
I look around and the place is seriously scary. Dark EveryWhere with haunted looking trees. Scary scary every where. Woahhhhh!!!!!!!! OH MY FRIGGIN' GOSH! There is FRIGGIN' BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

I tightly shut my eyes for the fear of getting killed right here. Blood makes me want to throw up. I have a weak heart and this is insanely spooky. They take us through mutiple doors

How in the world someone could possibly live here? Who is this doing all this? What do they want? Did I commit such a serious crime that I'm brought here? Does Alex have all these questions in mind? Or is he just fooling around? Even after he helped me why can't I trust him? Is it that hard? First place I shouldn't have said yes to coming here why did I say yes?

We are stopped at a large door, it is so large that we can make a boat out of it. Ah might as well build a mansion. Just kidding! When the door opens me and Alex are forcefully pushed into that door where a strong looking man who could be 7 feet for sure tapes my mouth. I try to scream but my mouth is tightly taped. Oh my god! Please help me! I beg you I don't want to get murdered or raped.
I look at Alex and his mouth isn't taped. Why so? He mouths 'I'm sorry' to me. Sorry for what? I shake my head signalling him to say no apologies. Why could be be saying sorry? I don't understand. The giant looking man throws us into prison. The prison is very smelly and Im going to pass out any moment. I have not understood anything as to why all this is happening. Who could n doing this? I have a feeling that Alicia could be behind all of this. But why? What have we done that they are torturing us?
