A/N: It's here! The long awaited second novella of The Taken Series! I will continue to edit Enslaved Cake so I will let you know when I finish up with that.

"Rori, are you going to the Father's Day party with your dad tomorrow?" Jessie asked as we walked to our classes together. I looked over to meet her blue eyes with my brown ones and nodded.

"That's the plan, what about you?" I said and watched her as she tucked her brown hair behind her ear.

"Yup! So we can hang out while they talk business?" I laughed and swept my black hair over my shoulder to let the wind cool my neck off.

"Of course. Thank goodness someone will be there that I can stand." I said as I looked up to the building where Jessie's class was.

"I'll see you tomorrow night then!" She called as she ran off. I waved back at her before looking around the campus. It was pretty vacant as I walked on toward my building.

I have to go shopping tonight for a dress for tomorrow. Maybe I can do that after my class.

A hand clamped over my mouth from behind and an arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me back into someone's body. My heart leapt in my chest and I widened my eyes in surprise. I dropped my books and scratched at the person's arms. I kicked my legs as hard as I could, trying desperately to make contact with the person who grabbed me. They walked backwards as I screamed into their hand and then bit down on their skin. I felt them flinch from my attempts but they never lessened their grip. They threw me into a van and I quickly tried to jump back out towards them but before I could, the door slammed shut. I scrambled to open it back up but to no avail.

It's locked!

I looked around and saw that there was another door at the back of the van. I moved over to it quickly and tried to open it but it was locked as well. I turned around to see a small square metal grate that seemed to lead to the driver's seat. I ran to it and looked to see a man getting in the driver's seat.

"Let me out of here, you sick son of a bitch!" I screamed. I could see his brown head of hair ruffle slightly as he glanced at me. Dark piercing eyes looked at me for a moment before returning his attention back to the road and starting the vehicle. As the van started moving, I backed up and sat down on the metal floor. I checked my pocket for my cell phone.

It's gone!

I looked over to the metal grate, seeing the man's brown hair again.

Shit! He must have grabbed it!

I looked around the van again to find a way to escape. When I couldn't find a way out, I walked back up to the metal grate and looked out the windshield, trying to memorize the streets.

Jefferson st, take a right...102nd Ave...take a left...we're stopping?

I watched as the man pulled over to the side of the deserted road and got out. The landscape was dry and typical of Arizona weather. The door that I was thrown in from opened and I jumped away. The man's hair swayed slightly from the wind outside and his smokey eyes stared at me intensely. His lips were set into a thin line as I examined him. A plain black shirt and dark wash jeans with black combat boots. I saw a few tattoos peeking out from underneath his sleeves.
