Captured At Last-

                   Michael drove the car as we sat in silence. I watched as the snow had just fallen. This was my first time seeing snow, it was so beautiful. My heart longed for Zach and my wanting for him was stronger since he marked me. I’m sure Michael had smelt my scent mixed with Zach’s vanilla one.

I sat in silence as I stared straight ahead, my body motionless.

I closed my eyes and was just about to fall asleep when the car came to a sudden jolt. My eyes shot open as Michael cursed under his breath. “What happened?” I asked. A cop came up to our car and knocked on the window. He looked oddly strange and his cap covered his eyes as it tilted downwards.

“I was speeding.” He answered.

Dumbass. I muttered under my breath.

He shot me a look before opening the window.

“Sir, you were speeding. I’m going to have to tell you to step out of the vehicle.” He said as if he repeated that one line in his sleep every night.

“I was speeding; you’re supposed to give me a ticket.” Michael corrected confidently.

“Sir, step out of the vehicle.” The man said, ignoring Michael’s statement. Michael stepped out of the car and then the police man told me to, too. I was confused, but I obeyed his commands and slowly got out of the car. “Are you Jenna Edwards?” the man asked as he handcuffed Michael.

“Yes… What is this about? He was just speeding, you don’t have the right to handcuff him!” I exclaimed.

“You caused Ben so much trouble… He has been waiting for you for months.” The man said coldly, harshly.

“W-what?” Michael and I stuttered at the same time. The man ignored us. “Sorry man, but I have to do this,” and with that, the man punched Michael in the gut and struck a few punches in the face before Michael fell to the ground, knocked out. He was covered in bruises and blood.

My breath caught in my throat. Instinctively, I started to sprint down the road ever so quickly. The man instantly caught up and tackled me to the floor. I squirmed under his hard grip and screamed for help until he got a wet cloth out of his pocket and shoved it into my mouth.

My eyes went shut, and I was engulfed by darkness.

I awoke in a dark, cold place. Everything was dark. I couldn’t see anything. “Hello?” I called out but there was no sound. I tried getting up my head ached badly. Everything that had happened flooded back to me, giving me a huge headache and panic attack.

I managed to get up but when I took a step a pain shot up my leg and I fell to the cold, hard floor. “Help, help!” I tried yelling but my voice barely worked. It was so scratched up and was thirsty for water. No tears came out of my eyes, and I realized I could be dehydrated. My heart rate increased rapidly and I panicked as my eyes tried to make out where I was.

 I sat helplessly at the floor, hugging my knees for hours, maybe even days. I didn’t know how long I’d been in here. There was no supply of light and no windows. Just darkness. After what seemed like forever, the lights shot open and I shielded my eyes from the sudden brightness.
