Falling back from the impact of the hit, I stumble into the running shower. Groaning while holding my head I quickly look up to see him advancing on me.

"Tobias!" I shout frantically, as he comes closer to me I quickly jump out of the tub and rush past him but he grabs my waist.
He shoves me face first into the door, squeezing my eyes shut from dizziness, he puts a cloth over my mouth.
Fighting against his hold, he holds the rag tighter over my mouth, struggling to breathe.
I can see him in the mirror and under his hoody is a smirk, as tears start to pour my lungs start to give out and soon I breathe in a sweet scent.
Making eye contact with him for the last time in the mirror, he mouths 'good night.'

Charlie's pov

Groaning, I feel as if I'm sleeping on a bag of nails.
Jerking awake, I look around frantically. It looks like a underground tunnel and the walls are stained red making me gag.
It's lit only by one candle in the middle.

"Jess?" I whisper out.
Soon I hear her on the other side of the room.

"I'm here Charlie."
Standing up quickly I try to walk over to Jess but my feet are chained making me trip.

"Mine are too." she says out loud.

"Are..are you hurt?" I whisper sqauting down.

"No.but I have a headache."She replies, nodding my head even though she can't see me.

"I'll get you out, Jess." I tell her.

"I know you will." she replies.
As we sit there in silence we hear a loud bang then light pours into the room, jerking my head up I can see a hooded figure carrying someone, squinting my eyes I swear it looks like my sister. Wait a minute it is!

As he chains her up next to me, I can tell shes pretty passed out.

"Let us go! Now!" I shout in his direction, his reaction was to laugh and walk over to me.
Sqauting down in front of me he whispers

"I will never let you go." As my anger flares up more, my actions take a hold of me.
I headbutt him right in the head, making his head fly backwards and mine ache, breathing heavily he swivels his head to Jess then to mine and all he does his smile.
He gets up suddenly and makes his way toward jess.

"Leave her alone!" I shout standing up and pulling against the chain, Jess whimpers as he stands over her, he brings his hand back and brings it to her face making a loud smack sound.

"Jess!" I scream, crying she holds her face. Another three hits, he turns around and faces me.

"All you are is a coward, Simon!" I grit in between my teeth, coming face to face with me, I whisper "I'm going to kill you Simon." Lurching forward he takes a step back from where I can't reach him. "Be a man! Simon!"I shout making Jess flinch and Olive groan in her sleep.

"Oh I'm not the only one you have to worry about, Charlie." He replies, furrowing my eyebrows, he takes off towards the door but not before turning around and whistling.
Slamming the door shut, I hear the lock click.

"Jess you okay? I ask her, only respond i get is a whimper.
Running a hand over my face to wipe away the sweat, i walk over to Olive whos mumbling in her sleep.

Sitting down next to her I examine her injuries. A badly bruised forehead, a cut on her lip, and her clothes are filthy.

Olives pov

Rolling over, I quickly feel how cold and hard my mattress is, trying to get comfortable again, my eyes snap open.
Gasping I quickly sit up, hissing I hold my head which is throbbing.

"Olly you okay?" Charlie asks next to me.
"What?..what..where are we?" I stammer struggling to sit up.

"it's Simon, Olive." Jess's voice rings out.

"you're down here too?" I screech.

"yep." she mumbles.

"Wheres Tobias?" I ask turning face to face Charlie whos leaning against the wall looking down at me, shrugging his shoulders he replies

"I have no clue."
Standing up, I lean on Charlie's shoulder for support. "hey Olive?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry if i didn't believe you."

"it's okay." I whisper looking up at him I can see a red mark in the middle of his forehead, Ponting at his forehead I ask

"What happened?"

"I headbutted him but instead of attacking me, he attacked Jess." he replies.

As tears well up in my eyes I quickly hobble over to the middle of the room and face Jess.

"I'm so sorry Jess." I whisper.

"Don't be, Olive" she replies whispering back.
Looking around for an escape I can see the stain blood walls, looking away I see the door.

"Is it locked?"

"Yep."Charlie replies,

"What are we gonna do?" I whisper more to myself but Charlie over heard me and his words sends chills down my spine.

"I'm gonna kill him."

Facing him, I stare at him as if he's lost his mind.

"How?" I ask him.
"You'll see." he mutters as he sits down on the floor, rolling my eyes I take a seat next to him as well.
Leaning my head against his shoulder, I start to daze a little when suddenly I hear a loud creak.

"What's that?" I ask getting up, soon Charlie follows my actions, he's coming he whispers in my ear and grabs onto my arm pulling me closer to him.

The door swings open and light pours in but soon it's shaded by not one but two figures, squinting through the light I can make one out but not the other.

"Oh sleeping beauty is up!" Simon happily shouts, making me flinch, soon the figure follows behind Simon's shadow.

"What..what do you want with us?" I ask getting braver.

"One word: You."
My heart pounds as the word floods around my mind, you,you,you.

"Why her!?" Charlie grits into his teeth from behind me, Simon suddenly laughs making us all flinch,

"because shes got the blood that we want!"

"Whos we!?" I shout getting angrier, the shadow behind Simon comes to his side, lifting his head I see his true features, making me freeze.
