Hostage

Part 9

~One year later~

I wake up every night screaming and seeing the cold grey eyes of Alan while he kicked me and stabbed me I could see how they held no emotion in them while he did all this, those eyes haunt me all hours of the night and day. I was right Alan has changed my life forever in good and bad ways good ways he made me more aware and alert about the things that are happening around me all the time now. Bad ways he effected my life is; I can’t go out after dark now I can’t sleep though the night most nights without his cold grey eyes or spine chilling smile invading my dreams, my life has changed because of him and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive him or forget about what happened, but I can try.

As for Jim’s family his wife has a clean bill of health and is out of the hospital (I’ve paid all her bills) and her daughter is a happy lively young sixteen year-old girl with a bright future ahead of her. I could never repay Jim for what he did for me that night I left he sacrificed his life to save mine and I can never forget that and I’m truly appreciative of him.

I never thought one day I would have been Taken.
