Stan and I run to the park, Illias is tied up against the tree.
"Cora! Help me!" Illias said
I run to untie him from the tree but am pushed by the man, my head hits the ground hard.
"Nice to finally meet you. Cora" said the man
"How do you... Now my name?" I asked
"No don't touch her!" Yelled Illias as the man stepped closer
"I've been watching you for atleast five years now" the man replied
"And you decide to talk now?! Why is that?" I asked
"Because Illias was always in my way, but now I have him here, I can kill him" the man says showing a knife towards Illias' neck.
"Stop, please I'm begging you" I say
"Stop he hasn't done a thing!" Yelled Stan
"Oh now the nerds getting into this" said the man
"Please, please stop" I say crying
"I like you crying, it shows you care" says the man "which temps me more to slit that throat"
He moves the knife closer.
"STOP!" I yelled
"Why should I?" He says
"Because I'll do anything you can take me instead" I say
"What! Hell no!" Illias said
"Hmm? I like that idea" the man said "I'll let him go on one condition,"
"What?! Anything" I say
"I want that cash of yours, I hear your fathers a rich man" the man says
"I have money to give" I say
"Not only that, I also want you" he says "your body I'd love to have it"
"I give you money that's my last offer" I say " or I'll force my way to Illias"
"I'll take 1,000,000 in cash and I concider letting him go" the man says
He throws a smoke bomb and next thing he's gone with Illias.
"No!" I said breaking down into tears
Stan came to comfort me.
"He's gone" I say
