Memories In Italy

Chapter 29

"Wakey-wakey!" someone said. I looked up, still half asleep. "Sofia?" I said tired. But no, of course not. My time had come. It was Chiara! And she definitally wasn't there for drinking a cappuccino with me. I sat up as fast as possible that someone could do with an arm in a plaster and noticed shocked that Aline was gone. "Where's Aline?" I asked furious. "Aline? I don't know!" she said with an evil smile on her face. "Hellooow, Aliiine!" she said while looking under the bed. "No one there." Everything she said was with that evil smile, like she really enjoyed being so mean all the time. I realized she was aware of the fact that I knew she was a bad person. She knew it all too well! "What did you do to her?" I asked angry. She lifted her shoulders, like she didn't care about Aline.
The first thing that then popped into my mind was immediately calling someone. But before I even had an idea of who I wanted to call, she took a black gun out of her jacket. "Not too fast!" she said, now with an angry face. She held the gun half in, half out her jacket. To show me what she was carrying around. Then she put it back. "So now you know what I have right here, it's best to behave and do what I tell you to do! First of all put your phone on that nightstand."
I had a weird feeling. My life could be ended with just one pull at the trigger but I didn't feel like crying. I was not afraid, only really angry and the adrenaline suddenly reached very high concentrations in my whole body. "So stand up, walk to the door and act normal!"
"No!" I said, although she could kill me because I didn't do what she said. But I was sure she wouldn't. She had an obsession with me so why would she kill me? But on the other hand, she was just crazy, so I could expect anything from her. She almost took the gun out of her jacket again. "Okay, okay!" I said angry and walked out of bed. And if she had kidnapped Aline, I needed to see her. So maybe this was the only chance. "To the door!" she said angry. She didn't even try to fake laugh anymore. That was actually better. Two faced people were not my thing. We walked through the hospital without being noticed. It was morning, not a lot of people there to visit someone. But the nurses should see it? Luckily a nurse left another room. She knew me, I knew her. "Mister Ginoble, you are not allowed to leave yet!" she said serious. At that point Chiara was already showing the gun, very carefully, so no one else would notice. I saw the nurse was very shocked, she couldn't say another word anymore. Her eyes met mine and it seemed she was more in panic then I was. "Do not follow us!" Chiara then said angry. I hoped she would call the police immediately. And that they would find me.
"Faster!" I speeded up and meanwhile I tried to look around in the hope I would see someone or something that could help me. But it was too late. We were at a white car. "Go inside! Backseat!" she commanded. While I did what she said, I thought about the confusing fact of why the car was white instead of black. The windows were tinted a lot, so no one could see me. She started the car and drove away. I couldn't do a single thing, my phone was in the hospital and the gun was lying next to her in the door so she could take it very fast if I tried to do something she wouldn't like. The ride was long and in the end I didn't even know where we were. "Almost there, darling!" she said. It was really disgusting to hear her say that to me. I prefered the angry Chiara. "Don't call me like that!" I said but she didn't respond. Five minutes later we arrived at a dark, old building. Something that used to be some kind of factory. She commanded me to walk inside, saying that I better shouldn't try to run because she was very good in killing people. I was not sure if she really had murdered people before. It started to scare me. We were far away from my friends and they probably still didn't know I was gone. I was wondering if I was far away from Aline as well. But then I started panicking. What if she...what if Chiara...killed her? Then she meant what she said? She might not kill me, but what did Aline mean to her. Probably nothing at all. She hated her and she wanted to take her place, that was obvious by now. But no single chance that it would happen. I had to sit on a chair in the middle of the place. She then took a big chord out of the bag next of it. Her plan was obviously to tie me up to the chair. She didn't look and I knew she didn't lock the door yet. So I saw it as a chance to run away. But the gun she was carrying with her scared me now, she might not kill me immediately. Maybe she would just hurt me. I didn't like the idea of losing an arm or leg. But it was way better than losing my life. I wanted to count to three in my head and run as fast as I could but at three she already took me by the arm, and it hurt. She pinched me that the blood almost streamed out of my arm immediately. "I saw what you were thinking sweetie. But I don't want to let you go!" she said pouting. Ten seconds later the hand of my not broken arm was tied up to the chair. The plaster on my other arm was not really helpful to do something usefull with it. And even my legs where now tied up on the chair. I had not a single option of running away now. I could try it but it would be so slow that escaping would be a matter of hours and she, what did I expect, was looking at me all the time. "Gosh, you're a supernatural creature, so beautiful!" she said creepy, staring at me. I stared back but really angry. "What do you want!" I screamed. "You!" she said immediately. "Why?" She didn't answer, she only laughed and played with the gun she now held in her hands. Another five minutes later she was still looking at me. It made me feel very uncomfortable. The only one who was allowed to look at me like that, I mean a bit more friendly of course, was Aline. I was wondering where she could be. She was not in this room. To know what happened with Aline was actually my only concern. "Where's Aline?" I tried again. Her evil smile faded away. "Stop talking about that bitch!" she said furious. "She's not worth it!" I gave her my most angriest look ever. "To be honest, she left you while you needed her the most, and that at Christmas!" she laughed. "She came back immediately!" I said furious. "By the way, you were gone too! Where were you! Ha, tell me that! You left me longer then she did. So you don't have the right to say that!"
She walked towards me with her gun still in her hands. "I can say whatever I want amore mio! Remember this?" she asked, showing me the gun right in front of my eyes. "If you don't do what I say, I'm gonna make sure this little object is the last thing you will remember! Capito?" I didn't respond, only with an angry look in my eyes for sure. 

"Now..." she said, as if she was going to start a long explanation, "since I am kind and friendly, you might have noticed that," she laughed, knowing very well she was the complete opposite, "I'll let you decide!"
"Decide?" I thought I hadn't a choice in anything anymore and I preferred more the explanation for why she kidnapped me and why she did all the other evil things. 

"I'll let you decide!" she repeated seriously.
