A Dark Love Story

Chapter 3

Alisha's POV

I couldn't sleep that night. I kept tossing and turnning thinking about the terrible things that could be happening to her. What if calling the police did absolutely nothing. What if she's already gone. And i would never see her again. These thoughts flooded my mind. I stayed up in our room all day and all night. Every once in a while i would help Brooke and Carisma clean up the place because that is what we were there for. But the thought that my best friend was dead just killed me every day.

It had already been a few weeks since Yvanna went missing. I couldn't handle it anymore. I grabbed a pocket knife and went out into the woods, alone. I walked so far out that i forgot where i was. It had gotten dark outside and Brooke and Carisma were probably looking for me. I decided that i would go back. I looked around and saw a light in the distance. I asumed it was the house so i walked up to it. But as i got closer i realized it wasn't the house. I got closer and my eyes adjusted to the light. Right there,  standing before me was a big metal building. I was so confused. I walked up to the door and looked through the window. I saw a bunch of doors all in a line. Just then, a someone wearing a black cloak walked out of one of them. He seemed to be yanking on someone's arm. My heart dropped when he pulled Yvanna out of the room with bruises and cuts covering her body. She was still wearing her same clothes but they were all ripped up. He threw her to the ground and left her bleeding and crying. I slowly turned the knob of the door and walked in. I rushed over to Yvanna and started to help her up "Yvanna come on ive got you" i said pulling her up. She looked up at me "A-alisha...what are you d-doing here" she said trying hard to get her words out. I got her standing all the way up "Alisha you n-need to get out of h-here" she said shaking. I looked her in the eyes "not without you". We started walking towards the door but Yvanna stopped dead in her tracks "Ive" she said looking very worried. I was very confused "who is Ive". She ignored my question and shuffled her way to one of the rooms. A few seconds later she came out of the room holding a young girl. She was bruised and cut just like Yvanna was. She handed the girl to me and we both hurried out of there.

Yvanna's POV

We were walking through the woods for a while until we finally found the house. When Brooke and Carismas eyes met with mine they tackled me into a hug. Because of my cuts and bruises, them tackling me hurt a lot. But i didn't care. I was finally able to see their beautiful faces and hug them. They were asking me what happened and where i was but i just couldn't tell them. "Guys...ill tell you tomorrow. Im really tired" i said walking upstairs to my room. They nodded and let me be.

I layed in bed next to Alisha staring at the ceiling. As usual, Alisha was passed out. Ive was on the small couch that was in the room. I turned to my side and standing right there in the corner of the room, was the man with the cloak. I gasped and turned on the lamp to see him better. But when i turned back around he was gone and all that was there was a small envelope. I walked over to the envelope and picked it up. I opened it and pulled out a small piece of paper. It was a note. It said

Well well well. Look who escaped. You're clever ill give you that. I would come and kidnap you again but..maybe you've had enough. Hmmm...but your friends could be tought a lesson or two. If you don't want anything to happen to you or your friends...then leave. Leave that house and never come back. Or else i will be the one to take your life.

I read the note over and over. Why does he want us to leave. I stayed up the rest of the night looking online. I found something very interesting. It was something that was on the news a few years ago. A 10 year old boy killed a young girl for being in his house. He stabbed her 16 times in the chest. That same day he went missing and nobody ever heard from him again. It showed a picture of the boy and the girl he killed. It also showed the date. It happened 9 years ago which would make him 19 to this day.  I needed to see that mans face. To know if it was him.

The next day i went out into the woods to get wood. Everyone tried to stop me but i brought a knife this time. I had collected a bunch of branches and sticks when suddenly i heard that deep voice behind me "you really are an idiot aren't you" he said laughing. I turned around and pulled out the knife "we can do this the easy way...or the hard way" i said walking towards him. He laughed again "that tiny knife doesn't scare me sweet heart". He pulled out a bigger knife and aproached me. "What are you gonna do" i said "stab me in the chest 16 times". He stopped in his tracks "what did you say". I ignored his question and chuckled "i guess if you did..it wouldn't be the first time..would it". I couldn't see his face but i could tell he was getting mad "you do realize i can stab you at any moment while you're over there talking crap". I laughed "go ahead stab me. Then you can go disappear for 9 years". At this point he was ticked off "SHUT UP" he shouted. He lunged at me and tackled me to the ground. He was about to stab me in the throat but i hit the knife out of his hand just in time. He got off of me and ran towards his knife. As he was running away, i yanked on his cloak pulling it off. He stopped and turned around. I couldn't believe what i was looking at. He was a young boy about my age. He had brown hair and tan skin. He had scares all over his face. He aproached me really fast i couldn't defend myself in time. He held the knife to my throat and stared right into my eyes. Then, when i thought my life was over, he took the knife away from my neck, dropped it and backed away. I dropped to my knees holding my hand to my neck "why didn't you kill me" i asked a little confused. He got down on his knees in front of me and looked into my eyes "I..I couldn't".
