Chapter 4: attempted escape.


Carter's P.O.V

I sat there handcuffed to the bed staring at the ceiling. It's been two days since he took me. I think he had forgotten all about me, considering I haven't been fed since the day he kidnapped me. My stomach grumbled and it hurt really bad. You know that feeling you get when you're so hungry it feels as if you're going to throw up but you can't because you have no food inside you to vomit? Well, if that makes any sense, that's how my stomach felt the past two days and I'm sick of it. He has given me a small little blanket and a pillow. I haven't heard any noise from the rooms beside me or the rooms below me. I don't even think he's here anymore.

My teeth chattered and my lips were chapped. Did I mention this room is freezing? Actually, freezing is an understatement. This room has to be as cold as Antarctica and I'm not lying. I let out a whimper and I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. Were people looking for me? No. Nobody probably even cares considering I just moved here and I have no friends. But what about my parents? If I know my mom she probably contacted the FBI and if I know my dad he is probably out of town not even worried about the situation.

The tears began to fall now as I think about my family. When will I leave here? Will I even leave here? I could feel the tears moistening my shirt as the tears rolled down my cheeks. I could hear someone walking downstairs. I began to panic and the tears became to stream faster down my face. "Please god, I know I never pray to you anymore. But, I promise if you get me out of this mess I will start to be a better person. I won't smart mouth my mom anymore, I won't get in anymore trouble with teachers, I will help my dad around the house, and I'll get better grades in school. Just please god get me out of here," I begged, hoping that god would actually do something.

"Aw how cute," A menacing voice said.. My breath hitched as the door slowly open. Jason stood there with his infamous smirk. "You actually think you're leaving here? You'll never leave," he said menacingly. "Please Jason, I don't know what you want from me. Just please-" I begged before he cut me off. "Quit the fucking begging and quit feeling bad for yourself. Now shut the hell up or I'm not giving you dinner!" He spat. His eyes were filled with anger and his hands were balled into fists. I nodded quickly and kept my mouth shut as he exited the room, slamming the door behind him.


Jason's P.O.V

That stupid bitch has no idea what she's in for. She shouldn't of talked to me in school. I was planning on kidnapping someone that day, but I planned on taking another girl. But, as much as I tried to get to her something was always in the way. But, I then realized that how easy it would be for me to take Carter because she didn't know that much about me. She was so easy to lure into my trap.

My thoughts were caught off by my phone buzzing. I looked down at my screen and rolled my eyes, it was Johnson. He's my boss and he is the one who made me kidnap a girl. I opened the text and my eyes gazed over the words, taking in all the information.

Johnson:

Hey McCann, I had to take care of business with Ricardo. I won't be there to pick up the girl this week. Give me 4 weeks tops and I'll take the girl off your hands for you. Oh, and since I'm not able to make it in time, I'm give you an extra five-thousand dollars.



To Johnson:

Alright boss, sounds good to me. By the way I got you a hottie. She's pretty sexy. You'll definitely like this chick.



I sat my phone down on the counter top and walked over to my fridge I opened it up to see a variety of foods. I took out the out everything I needed to make Chicken Alfredo.

---

I put everything on a plate and walked up the steps slowly to hear her sniffling and crying. I let out a little chuckle. Johnson will probably just kill her after he rapes her or whatever. Johnson is nasty by the way.

I kicked open her door hard enough so it would slam against the wall to scare her even more. She jumped and looked at me. "I hope you like Chicken Alfredo," I said awkwardly. "I love it," she mumbled. I took out the key from my back pocket to unlock her handcuffs. I slowly unlocked her handcuffs and I looked at her wrists. They were bruised badly and they looked swollen. She began to roll her hands around and she rubbed her wrists and then she let out a sigh of relief.

I handed her the plate with her food on it and she began to eat like a pig. I chuckled a bit. "I'm guessing you were hungry?" I teased. "I was starving!" She spat. Ugh, is this bitch on her period? "Good," I growled, exiting the room.


Carter's P.O.V

I finished my Alfredo. Damn, he is an amazing cook. My stomach felt full, and let me tell you, it felt good. I looked at wrists and sighed.

WAIT HE FORGOT TO HANDCUFF ME!

Yes!

This is my time to escape. Fucking dumb ass didn't cuff me again. I looked over to see a window across the room. I slowly got up from the bed and walked over to the window. Unfortunately, the floor creaked every step of the way. I made my way to the window and unlocked it slowly. My legs felt weak, but I didn't care. I climbed out of the window and made my way onto the slanted roof. I slid down the roof and looked down. I saw freedom.

But, the jump was at least 12 feet and I couldn't risk it. "CARTER!" I heard someone scream before I looked back to see a furious Jason staring at me from the other side of the window. I could see him about to climb out of the window so I flicked him off and took the risk.

I jumped off the roof and landed on my feet. I let my feet lead me towards the woods. The snow crunched under my shoes as I ran. Thank god I kept my shoes on. But, I could hear footsteps behind me. I looked back to see Jason. But Jason couldn't see me. I could see him through one of the bushes. He was getting closer and closer. So I did what my mind told me to do and I began climbing up the tree that once stood next to me.

I climbed up higher and higher. Branch after branch. I must've been at least 18 feet up. I felt like I've won a golden medal. I never been so proud of myself. "Princess," I heard that familiar voice say. "If you show yourself I won't hurt you," he cooed. "I promise I'll take you home. I'm sorry for taking you," he said with a sweet voice. But I'm not fucking falling for it. "If you don't show yourself now, then when I do find you, you're going to regret it," he said with a firm voice. "You have to the count of three!" He yelled. "1... 2... 3... That's it!" He yelled.

I could hear him walking down below me so I looked down to see him looking all around. "Your footprints stop right here so that means..." He said looking up from where my footprints stopped. My heart stopped as his eyes met mine. "Well hello there Carter," he said in a teasing voice. "H-hi," I replied, trying to sound brave. "Babe either I'm coming up to get you, or you can get down yourself," he grumbled. I nodded slowly and began to climb down. My foot slipped and I started to fall. I let out a scream as I hit the cold, hard ground. I heard a crack and my ankle began to burn and ache. I let out a cry and held on to my ankle as the snow began to seep through my clothing.

"Bad things happen when you don't follow Jason McCann's rules," Jason sneered.
