The Missing

18. Trapped

Haley's POV

I don't know what is going on anymore, this man has been following me all day. He took me to his house and now I see another girl in this basement with bruises all over here. This is so scary. Is he going to hurt me too? Will he kill me and her? I don't want to die right now. I'm too young to die. I wish my mom would've answered the phone or I should've told her about this man. Maybe Lila will tell the police and be able to find me. Even though people who have seen the kidnapper haven't been able to find him. 

"You're going to stay here with her." He says and puts his hand on the girls face and strokes her. "Be good girls." He says with a little smile and walks out of the basement. I hear the bolt lock and I feel sick to my stomach. I am trapped in his basement with this girl who hasn't stopped looking at me. What the hell does she want. I am in no mood to fight right now, I am so confused and worried. "What?" I say to her and she flinches, making me feel bad. 

"I'm so sorry for you." She says looking down. Well this makes me feel so much worse, god only knows how long this girl has been here. Will we be getting home soon or am I going to stay here for the rest of my life? 

"Who are you?" I ask her and she looks around for a moment.

"Taylor." She says, but I've never heard of her. "What is your name?" 

"Haley Coleman." I tell her, in my mind I scold myself for saying my last name. I sound so fucking weird. 'Sounding weird is not what you should be worrying about.' I tell myself. "How long have you been here?" I ask her and she looks away, looking confused. 

"Over a year." She tells me. I am so sad right now. I never got to tell my family so many things I wish I would've. I am not going to be able to talk to my friends or family anymore. Everything  has just been taken out of my life so quickly and I want it back. 

"I want to go home." I say crying and the girl, Taylor, tries to comfort me.

"You have to stay quiet though, he will come down here and hurt us." She says whispering. "I want to go home too, we will get home." She assures me, still whispering.

We talk for a long time, there is two more people here. In this basement. We're all trapped down here. I will help them get out of here. As of today were all in this together.

Becca's POV *Yeah, I'm gonna switch the characters more* 1 month later

John comes into my room waking me up and telling me that he is moving me. He takes me out of the room that I have been in for so long. I see Taylor and a brown haired girl, probably the girl I heard a while ago. He takes me into the room with Taylor's sister, Jenna, in it. She is laying on her bed made out of blankets still asleep. He tells me to sit against the wall and that he will be back. I go to the wall and sit and look at Jenna praying in my mind that she will wake up right now.

He comes back in the room with the girl with brown hair. She has a busted lip, from her screaming at him. The girls here all swear at John, but I was never allowed to swear. I know you probably think I am a loser, but oh well. My mother just wanted her children to be respectful and I was because she was nice enough to give me a home. I wish I was back there. I want to sleep in my own bed again and hang out with my friends and see my family everyday again. I want to finish the 8th grade and then go to college and marry the love of my life, but that can't happen. I am trapped here in the house of a monster.

He has the girl sit next to me, what is he doing? Is he bringing Taylor in here too? I want her to come in here too. He leaves and don't come back for a while. He isn't bringing Taylor in here. He likes her more than all of us, she is his favorite. I feel so bad for her. I wouldn't want to be his favorite, it don't mean anything good for her to be honest.

Me and the girl start talking and after about half an hour later Jenna wakes up.  Maybe with all of us in here we could get out easier, we could team up and get out of here and get home. What if everyone has stopped looking for me and everyone thinks that I am dead? It makes me sad to think about it.

The future is unclear and anything can happen, but all I am hoping for is a miracle.

A/N 

I write so poorly I'm sorry. Yeah, this is most likely going to be the last person that John takes. They will be free when Taylor and Jenna have been there for 3 or 4 years. It has been 2 years since they were taken, it may not seem like that, but I made it that way. Cause I can skip time to make this book get along faster. I will be ending it after 20 something chapters. 

Byeeee
