DISCONTINUED//Family Isn't Always Blood (Jennifer Lawrence)

Darkness

I was taking deep breaths and trying to regain my composure. But I was failing. I knew I was about to pass out any second, as Chloe just had. All I could think about was my mom and my sisters. No, not like this. I'm not gonna die like this. I'm not gonna lose the fight. I won't let him win. But right now, Rosco was.

He was abducting me and Chloe, and there was nothing I could do about it.

My eyes started to slowly flutter open.  "Mmm." I groaned, trying to push myself up.  I couldn't move my hands.  I shot my eyes all the way open and started to thrash around.  When my arms and legs both started moving at the same time, I realized they were bound together.  Then the memories came flooding back.  "Chloe!" the thought shot through my head.  I turned my head and saw her next to me.  

"Chloe!  Chloe!" I whisper yelled, nudging her side with mine.  "Mmm." she groaned, before she had the same reaction as me.  "Gen?!  Where are we?" she asked.  "I don't know!  It feels like concrete floor, but it's too dark to tell for sure." I said, trying to move my tied hands around to get a feel.  "What time is it?" I asked trying to look around for a light source.  "Night of the 15th or really early morning of the 16th." Chloe said, and she jerked both her wrists in the direction of a window about twenty feet up.

"So what?  This is like a basement or warehouse?" I asked no one in particular.  "Gen, I'm scared." Chloe said.  "Me too." I whimpered as we moved closer together.  Chloe leaned her head on my shoulder, and I leaned my head on top of hers.  A million thoughts were rushing my head.  "Where are we?" "Has anyone noticed we're gone?" "What's gonna happen to us?" "Are we gonna die?"  As you could probably guess, dying is the scariest one.

A light flooded the room and blinded me slightly.  I raised my wrist to try and protect my eyes, and so did Chloe.  The silhouette stood before us and the face became clear.  Rosco.  "Hello ladies.  Comfortable?" he asked.  "Where the heck are we!"  I yelled.  "Let us go!" Chloe shouted back.  "Shut up." he muttered.  "You'll lose your job!  Our families are gonna take you to court!" I yelled.  "I said shut up!" he shouted and with a swift move, kicked me across the floor.  

It literally took the breath out of me.  Chloe screamed and she had the same fate in the opposite direction.  I could feel blood beneath me.  I gasped and tried to look for where Rosco was.  He stood between us with a menacing smile.  "Go...to...HELL!" I yelled at him.  He comes over and stares down at my body in the fetal position.

"I never liked you.  Know why?  You think you have an amazing life!  Adopted by an a million dollar actress, cast on a TV show...Guess what princess?!" he screamed.  "Life isn't perfect now is it?!" He yelled as he hit me with something.  I couldn't tell, but it felt like a belt.  I convulsed and felt five repeated strikes against my bare skin.  I had to decided to wear shorts and a tank top to school earlier.

I could hear Chloe crying seeing me.  "Then why'd you take Chloe?" I asked, trying to distract him.  "I didn't want her, she just got in the way.  And if she continues to get in my way..." he said going back over to Chloe.  "There won't be anything left of either of you." he said and slammed the belt down on Chloe's side.  The room echoed with her screams.

"What did we ever do to you?" I asked.  Being on 'Castle', I picked up on the tactics put in the script.   "What did you do?!  You made everyone seem like the were less!  You are the celebrity kid, everyone wants to be you!  I'm a bus driver for damn's sake!" he yelled.  "You made that choice!  Go to college, get a degree, and get a real job!" I yelled at him.  "This real enough for ya?!" he yelled and slammed my body against the wall with a kick.  

I didn't move as I heard him stomp up the stairs and closing the door, leaving us back in darkness.  "Genesis?" Chloe asked through her tears.  "I-I'm okay.  I d-don't think anything broke." I coughed.  "He's not gonna let us go...is he?" Chloe said.  "He won't willingly.  But they gotta know we're gone.  They're gonna find us."

"They have to."
