Undici- My Beauty

UP THERE IS REESE TO ME. LUCY HALE.

Aubrey

I hear a voice in the background. It gets closer and closer until.. "I said to wake up!" I awake with a gasp as my cheek burn from the slap. I bite the inside of my cheek to keep from crying out in pain. "Wake up sleeping beauty."

The male voice said, sweetly this time. And for the first time I hear an accent, a very strong accent. And I just can't put my finger around it. My eyes are covered with a bandana. I try to move my hands and my feet and it takes me a second to realize I'm tied to a chair. "Ah, sleeping beauty. You are tied to a chair." He said chuckling.

No shit! Where am i? I wanted to yell, but my throat hurt so bad.

"I bet you are wondering where you are at? Am I right? Of course I am." He, whoever the hell it , says smugly. "I apologize for slapping you, you would not wake up." My breathing becomes heavy. I start trying to untie myself from the chair even though it's no use. I struggle until the man tells me to stop. I feel his hand on my cheek and I flinch away. "I am trying to take the bandana off!" He growls.

I can feel his shit breath on my face and I have to hold my breath to keep from throwing up all over the place. Once the bandana is off, my eyes have adjust to the room light. I look around and it's a small, well organized room. "I should not have hurt such a beauty like yourself." My head snaps up to a man who looks to be about his Thirty's.

He's bald and his eyes are a very dark brown, almost black. A shudder rums down my spine and I have to swallow my disgust. He has a beer belly and his pants don't even fit him well. They look too tight on him. I sigh, he is definitely no Travis Maddox.

"Who the hell are you?" I say. My voice sounding braver than I am at the moment.

"So many questions I cannot answer at the moment, my beauty."

"Shut up!" I snap. I want to cover my ears and shut my eyes to keep from hearing and seeing him. God. What the hell is happening? Where am I?

"Now now." He scowls. "Wouldn't want to get the person that has you tied up to this chair to.. Shut up. As you Americans say, eh?" Russian! He is Russian. Of course! How can I be so stupid? I have a teacher who's from Russia. But my teacher doesn't have that strong of an accent like this man does. And thank for Mr. Piper for making us learn a sentence a day of Russian. Maybe I can eavesdrop on him when he's on his phone or something.

He comes closer to me and touches my cheek with his knuckles. I try to bite him and he just laughs as if this is a game to him. "Do not be like that, my beauty."

"You're s-sick." I say, stammering over my words.

Keep it together Bree. I think to myself. This man is crazy. Loco. hullu. fou.

"I will see you soon." He starts walking away.

"Where's are my friends? And my boyfriend?!" I ask him.
Oh, god. Amy and Reese. And Tanner! My stomach churns as I realize, we've been kidnapped. "You won't get away with this!" He turns around slowly and grins, showing his rotting teeth, and winks. Goose bumps erupt on my arms. He walks out whistling to himself, leaving me alone, hungry and cold.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know I'm drenched in water and gasping for air. What is up with him waking me up like that?! Goddamnit!
