Life After Me (On hold)

·Chapter 5· Missing

I woke up in the darkness of the bedroom. Only moonlight came from the bay window in the room. The feeling was still there. My happiness and the feeling of me finding where I belonged. My reality was beautiful. I finally got the guy that I wanted. The friends that I needed and a home for all my cares to go away. I felt in place. I felt complete. Ashton was my best friend and my lover. He was the one who completed my transformation of happiness.

I turned to my side where Ashton would lay. Only an empty pillow and sheet was visible. It was only me lying here. He couldn't have left this was his house. I wonder what he was doing...

I peeked up from the covers that sat on my body. There was a white robe hanging on the wall. Without thinking I immediately walked over to the robe and took it. The cotton fabric fell on my skin as I put it on. I laced the rope around to keep the robe snug and from falling. I made my way toward the wooden door of the room. I reached my hand for the golden door handle when suddenly something cause my hand to retreat...

"Dude, stop eating it it's for Claire!" Said a muscular tone. Ashton...

I smiled with glee. He didn't leave me after all. My over excited face  blushed at the realization.  Without hesitation I reached out again for the door handle.

"Ash-" My words slid to a stop as a hand clasped over my mouth. My eyes shut closed with the unable movement from my body. Who?

"Shh... Shh... Shh... It's o.k Claire," Said a man.

Who are you? My mind screamed.

Another hand grabbed around my waist so I couldn't even jolt out of his grip. I felt their breathing above me... I felt everything they were doing as if time came to a halt. I could tell he was big. Bigger than me so I had no chance of escaping. The giant hand released from my mouth, but my eyes swelled shut.

"Your going to be mine," I heard him breath. Those words caused my shut tightly eyes to release a tear drop. I felt so helpless. I felt gone already...  What was going on?

All I could do was scream.

"Ahhhh," I let out a high pitch scream that even shattered my own ears. Ashton... Save me...

I didn't feel saved. I felt pain. I felt a giant sharp pain. I had been hit right in my stomach. I coughed choking on all my insides. They were burning. I had a scar on my stomach from surgery. When I was younger I had some rare disease and now I'm sensitive in that spot. I regretted screaming. The pain was unbearable that I didn't even notice I was being dragged. Dragged far away from the door. Door...

"Claire?" Came Ashton's voice through the empty room. I opened my eyes to see him holding a tray of my favorite food. He was also dressed in a white robe. He was looking for me. I was hidden in the darkness, in the arms of another man. I was hidden in the closet. The doors were opened, but the clothes covered the sight of me. I was so scared, so worried I cried. My tears ran don my cheeks. I couldn't scream again because the hand covered my mouth once again. Ashton.... find me....

My mind pleaded.

He looked under the covers after he set down the food. He ran out the door. "Dude, find Claire she's gone," I heard him say. I was left alone with this mysterious man. I was trapped.

We got up from the hidden closet and into the opened bedroom. My hair was grasped by the hand from my mouth. "Speak and you get hurt, understand?"

I nodded in my cries.

"UNDERSTAND?!?"

"ye-yes..." I whispered. Someone help...

"Now your going to come with. You won't see your family again, friends or boyfriend. It's just going to be you and me..." He spoke those chilling words that sent shivers down my spine. He kissed my cheek and I shook with my eyes shut. Never see them again? Why... just tell me why me? Mom, Dad, Bib, Brother, Ashton....

I was stuck. I couldn't get out. I was no match for him. I was getting taken away. This feeling of hopelessness and fear was terrible.

I was dragged across the floor by his hands. I was taken onto the patio of this room. A ladder lead the way toward the grassy night. He took me down there. He lead me to the car that took my away from all things I would know. My tied up, straggled body was positioned in the trunk. I had no control. I was gone from the life I known. I cried and broke down because know one could hear me or save me. I was missing from that point on.
