Chapter 10
Jaymie's point
Danny came in and checked on me every chance he got. He now stays in my room at night to "make sure i don't do anything."
At night, we stay up talking, crying, and making plans for escape.
I was spacing out for a couple minutes.
"Jay. Jaymie! " Danny waved his hand infront of my face.
"Oh, ya."
"Are you okay?" He asked pulling me closer.
I sighed. "Yes, i am just trying to believe that you are really here. I missed you so much."
"I know, i missed you too. I guess when i read your journal and saw our picture, it pushed me back into myself. I didn't know who i was until i saw the truth. The part of me that was lost, is the part that you found. You brought me back Jaymie."
I smiled and cuddled up to him. "I love you Danny."
"I love you too Jaymie."
"Oh, Danny, i need to show you something." I got off the bed and went under the bed. I opened the trick board and Danny went under on the other side. I pulled out the knife and showed him.
His eyes went wide. " You have a knife? Where did you get that?"
"Okay, so i found this trick floor board under here and some girl named Annie Clark put this, a necklace and her journal in here, in hopes that someone would find them."
"Where's the journal?" He asked.
I put the knife back into the trick board and crawled out from under the bed. I grabbed the journal from under the pillow and gave it to him. "I've been reading it. I haven't really finished but she always says 'get out, before it's too late.' It's kinda like she knew someone would find this. "
Danny's face went pale. "Did you read the last page?"
I stood by him. "No. Why?"
"There is nothing after day 26. At all."
We both looked at each other. "You don't think?"
"We need to get out of here Jaymie." Danny said urgently.
"How?" I asked. "They are all downstairs. We can't sneak past them without getting caught."
"Tomorrow, they are going to run some errands. For right now, we need to make a plan."
I went to the book shelf and grabbed Pride and Prejudice, To kill a mocking bird and Run for your life. I put them on the bed along with my journal and Annie Clark's.
"Okay, what i know is that there have been about 12 more kidnaps that i know about." I flipped open the three books. I wrote down the dates around when they were all taken. I am going off of guess right now but it seems accurate." I said.
We looked at the names for a few minutes then he put them back on the shelve. He looked back, "Just in case." He said.
"This necklace," I said lightly touching the chain on my neck, "was Annie's. It was in the floorboard. I- think she knew something was going to happen, so she put this in there." I grabbed my journal. "Danny, the kidnappers, do you know their habbits? I need to know everything. I have written some stuff that i know, but not all."
He took the journal from me and read the page. "Okay, this is good. Red, he is the one that talks to me. He is usually the night guard. Trevor is the leader, he likes to make sure that the guys are doing their jobs. The guy you don't know about is Henry, he takes the shift from 3-10 in the afternoon, he is a big guy, it would be hard to get past him."
I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I grabbed the journal and hid it under my bed. I realized that my ripped up jeans from the time i tried to escape where sticking out from the drawer at the bottom of the dresser.
"Danny," I whispered, "have you ever had the feeling that something horrible is going to happen?"
He looked at the dresser. Too late. The door opened, and in walked Trevor.
"Derek, you have been up here for." He stopped. "What the hell is this? Why don't you have your mask on?"
Danny stuttered. "I trust her."
"Oh, you trust her? You have feelings for this girl. You are weak." His eyes went to the dresser. "What's this?" He said and got the jeans out from the drawer. "Red, Henry get up here!"
Red and Henry entered the room.
"It appears that our little prisoner tried to escape." He said holding up the jeans. He came near me and pulled up the right leg of my pants. "And she injured herself. Do you think she learned her lesson?" He grabbed my hair and yanked me off the bed. Danny came toward me but Red held him back.
"Hold her down." Trevor instructed to Red. Red came and pinned me to the ground. I thought he would crush my rib cage.
I looked into Danny's eyes. "Danny." I gasped. He fought as best he could but he couldn't get free. Tears ran down my face as Trevor grabbed my injured knee.
I screamed as i felt my bones break under my skin. The pain was too much, i thought i was dying the most painful death. The last thing i heard before i blacked out was Danny yelling me name.
Danny's point
"Jaymie!" I watched and struggled in Henry's grip as i watched Trevor break my girlfriends knee. Break was an understatement though. We all heard multiple bones break in that one area of her body. I couldn't stand it. My anger exploded out of me then. I shoved my heel back and up into Henry's crotch and when he fell to the ground i punched him in the face. I may have hurt myself more than i hurt himby doing that, but i didn't care.
"Get off of her!" I said as i tackled Red off of Jaymie. I punched him in the nose and felt both mine and his bone break from the impact. His nose was bleeding badly and my hand was burning with pain. He pushed me off of him and punched me in the jaw. Pain spread thoughout my mouth. Before i could get up, Red kicked me in the ribs. I grabbed my ribs and tried to stand up. Red kicked me more violently this time. I dropped to the ground and couldn't move.
"Well then, wasn't that fun!" Trevor pitched in. "Now you can stay in here with her, you are now a prisoner. It's about time you remembered who you are Danny." He pronounced my name like it was acid. "We didn't want to kill her infront of you until you remembered who you are."
Henry grunted and got up.
"Leave them here. Red, you are now in charge of these two, be armed if they try to do anything." He looked at me. "Enjoy your last days with your precious girlfriend Danny, you wont make it long."
They left and the dead bolt clicked into place. I then looked at my motionless girlfriend laying next to me on the floor. "I'm so sorry Jaymie."
