Asia's POV

My eyes hurt as a headache pounded behind them. I felt sticky with dry blood and my skin felt like I had a sunburn. I didn't though. There were little black marks on my skin here and there where I had been burned by a lighter by that little snotty Daniel kid. But the sliced marks by the pocketknife hurt the most. I felt dizzy, lightheaded and my arm didn't feel well, like I was going to have problems. It was three days without my medication and I needed it anxiously. Three days without sunlight or fresh air.

My eyes parted slightly and everything blurred before I had to blink several times to refocus my vision. My stomach growled and I felt like I really wanted to lie down instead of sit in this chair. I wriggled my hands which hurt from cuts. I made a whimpering noise and looked around. It was dark with just a light dangling above my head. It made me think back to two days ago...

Lewis smirked as he grabbed his pocketknife, whipped it open and held it to my throat. There was a gleem in his eyes that shined full of evil and wisdom, but my fear and tears blurred my eyes as I trembled violently in my chair.

"Stop crying little bunny. This will only hurt... a lot." he said and the two shared a laugh. I felt a hot sensation lick at my skin and I screeched, feeling hot tears run down my face.

"Daniel!" Lewis snapped and Daniel rolled his eyes.

"Just tryin' to have a little fun." he grumbled. Lewis took his pocketknife and traced his knife across my arm, making a little blood line. I clenched my teeth and my fists, feeling the cold blade cut deep into my skin. Lewis laughed and scruffled my hair.

"Taking the pain toughly. Good girl." he praised. Daniel flicked his lighter again against my skin, letting me release another screech. I felt a pain to my face and breathed heavily.

"P-please stop." I begged already having two burn marks and one cut. But it was enough pain to make me want to run, hide and cry. Daniel bent down in front of me, flicking up his lighter and holding it close to my face making me pull back as far as possible.

"We haven't even started bunny." he said and laughed, burning my leg. I cried out in pain and then felt the cold blade digging into my skin again. I glanced over and saw him tracing in a letter. I started to sob as the pain was unbearable before I managed to pass out.

I breathed heavily while looking around. I had to get out of here. I needed to see my friends and family. My best friend, my boyfriend, my parents. I felt tears drip down my face and ignored them. Tears meant nothing anymore. Just weakness. Like the word traced in my arm.

Weak.

It was the word they traced into my arm and I was glad I hadn't bled to death for they had wrapped bandages around my arm to prevent blood loss. I heard a door creak and footsteps walk down the steps. A bright light turned on and my eyes squinted.

"Hello little bunny," Lewis said and coughed. Smokers. Eew. He walked over to me and lifted my chin up and observed me.

"Are we going to behave today?" he asked. I gave him silence before he tightened his grip on my chin making me wince.

"I asked a question." He said angrily.

"Yes, yes," I cried softly. He laughed. I noticed it was only him. His companion Daniel wasn't with him. I swallowed and looked at him.

"I have a message for you." he started. I looked up at him. "You're friend Ashley Rose says be careful and don't fight. She's right you know. That's why you look like this now. Because you fought back. But I must say, Ashley has quite a mouth like you do."

"Don't you touch my friend!" I spat before coughing and breathing heavily. Lack of water and food was really killing my throat. He snarled at me before untying me and shoving me to the ground. I winced and let a small cry of pain out, but was releived because of the cold concrete.

"Don't talk back to me. Or your friend will end up the same way. Heck, even your boyfriend, too." my blood ran cold and I didn't move for a moment. He grabbed my arm which was filled with cuts, and lifted me up.

"Touch my friends and I'll be sure the cops will find you." I said hoarsly. His face turned red and he was about to reply, when I felt my arm tingle. Oh no. I gasped and collapsed onto the floor, clutching my arm into my hold and sat, breathing heavily. I sat thinking, hoping this seizure wouldn't last long but I was wrong. The next thing I knew I was on my back, hyperventalating.

"What the hell?"" I heard a distant voice say. I couldn't move. I felt tears in my eyes because of the pain and embarrassment. I couldn't breathe because of how fast I was breathing. I hoped I wouldn't turn blue. I knew my pulse was racing.

"Daniel, what's going on?" I heard a voice say to another.

"I-I dont know boss. I think she's having a seizure." he said. Well someone was smart and paid attention in health class. It was matter of minutes before I found myself placed on a mattress. I was still in the dark but I at least was on a mattress of some sort, even if it was not very comfty. I looked up dizzily and heard a question directed toward me,

"What the hell?" Lewis demanded.

"I have seizures." I said drowsily. "I...I need my medication..." I said breathing heavily and tiredly. Lewis growled before dragging Daniel upstairs in a huff. I looked around seeing if maybe my phone was down here. But then I remembered they took it away. Was there a window? I thought sluggishly.

No.

My eyes slowly started to drift off and I fell into a deep sleep.

Max's POV

It was a matter of time when the cops finished questioning me. They looked over the messages that I had received from Asia and I even showed the facebook messages from Ashley's facebook. Everything was getting suspicious. My mom and step dad had finally come to the realization that Asia was missing.

"How many days has she been missing max?" my mother asked some worry in her voice. I was a bit quiet. It was hard not to get upset thinking of how many days she was gone.

"...Three." I said. The police cheif pinched the bridge of his nose and said something into his walkie talkie before turning back to me and my mother.

"Child abductions that last 3 or more days usually require investigation with the FBI." the police offier turned to me. "Son, do your girlfriend's parents know about her disapperance?" I shook my head.

"No. They were on vacation when she disappeared. They went to fort myers beach but should be back today." the officer nodded.

"Alright. We'll be stopping by the house and we'll then be holding a press conference. We only have a limited amount of time before this child gets either found or killed." he said before heading out to the police car outside. I frowned. If the people holding Asia saw any information on TV involving police or FBI, Ashley might be taken away.

I had to warn her.
