Westyn left the cabin after he sent the video to Kade. He had been gone for about 2 hours , and Chay didn't know if she should move or stay still. She took the tape off her mouth and attempted to find some scissors. Chay slowly hopped to the kitchen. It was a beautiful place , but she still didn't know where she was. She looked outside the window and she saw mountains all around her. Gatlinburg, she thought it had to be. Chay loved visiting the mountains , but not in this situation...

When Westyn screamed at her before he left, she knew it wasn't the same Westyn who was at her going away party. It sure wasn't the same Westyn who hugged her when she cried the last day of 8th grade, because she didn't want to grow up. Chay found a pair scissors and cut the tape off her ankles , and maneuvered the scissors in her fingers sliced the tape. There was so many layers of tape on her wrists. When she finally got all of the tape off she stretched like there was no tomorrow. Chay looked in the fridge for something to drink. She grabbed a bottle of water. Honestly Chay was starving , and there was nothing in the cabinets or the refrigerator.

She began to explore the cabin. There two stories , and the only thing downstairs was a huge living room with beautiful furniture and decorations. Upstairs there were two bedrooms ,and the biggest bathroom Chay had ever seen. It had a stand up shower and a huge walk in hot tub. She discovered that there was a wrap around porch around the whole thing.

She walked outside and the crisp winter air felt amazing! Chay gazed upon the mountains, and she soaking it all in. She walked back inside. She needed to make a game plan to get away from Westyn, but how? She didn't where her phone was , and no transportation. Suddenly she heard the front door open. She grabbed the scissors , and held them behind her back.

"Chay?", it was him. Westyn. She heard him walking around the living room. "Chay I'm all better now, I promise. I'm not going to hurt you". She heard him walking to the kitchen. Her heart felt like it was beating out of her chest.

"Chay, there you are", he said when he saw her. His demeanor changed when he saw her hand behind her back.

"Darling what's the matter? What's behind your back?", he asked ever so sweetly. Chay didn't know if she should play along or not.

"Nothing to be concerned about sweetheart", she said trying to play along to whatever he was doing. She sat the scissors on the counter right behind her within arms reach.

"I see you took the tape off Chay", he said looking up and down at her.

"Yeah I did. I needed to get some fresh air"

"I completely understand", he said approaching her. He put his hands on her waist , and pulled her forward. Chay had to look up at him, because he was much taller than her. He smiled at her like nothing had happened. She didn't know what was wrong with him. All Chay wanted to do was get away from him, but she decided play in his little game.

"So what have you been up to sweetheart?", Chay asked trying to convince him. Westyn raised an eyebrow and pulled her closer, there stomachs were touching now.

"Nothing really, I took a jog and now I'm back and I can protect you", he replied.

"From what?"

"From whoever is going to attempt to take you from me". Chay knew he was talking about Kade. She didn't ask any questions to keep him from going crazy again.

"So what should we have for lunch?", Chay said changing the subject.

"How about pizza? You can get whatever you want"

"Okay, I'll call-"

"No! No darling", Westyn cut her off and he frantically searching for a phone book, "I'll call Domino's..what do you want?"
