A Bundle of Short Stories

Kidnapped (Part Two)

SAME WARNING IN PART ONE, BUT THERE WILL BE MORE DARK STUFF IN THIS ONE!!!

     My aunt. I didn't know what to think. She took me in after my parents died. My mind wandered. I remembered the day my mother died. She died giving birth. My little sister is someone I hold close. My father died 10 years later in 9/11. 

     We moved in with her after the funeral and she treated us like dirt. She sent us to a scummy public school and had her kids go to an amazing private school. We had so many chores while her kids sat around and ate. She hammered us for grades if we got anything below a 95% we would get punished. We were star students. Once I turned 18 I moved out and brought my sister with me.

      I started college while she started high school.  She moved into dorms when she turned 18, three years later. I moved into dorms my last year once I made sure my sister was okay. My aunt never went away. Once she realized how successful we were she started to pay for college for us. We thanked her. She didn't change though. The only time I saw her anymore was at Thanksgiving. I don't care what happens to her.

     "Um, hello?" I was brought out of my memories when the woman spoke.

     I tore my eyes away from the paper and said, "What happens if I get caught?"

     She was surprised by my words and answered, "I will make sure that doesn't happen."

     Then she disappeared through the door. I stood there a few seconds just staring at the door before walking through it. The sunlight blinded me. 'What time is it? How long was I out, It was dark when I was kidnapped.' I thought letting my eyes adjust to the light. I sighed and started my walk. 'Why must I walk places?'  I asked myself as I turned out of the ally.

     I walked down the street thinking about my appearance. I looked at my reflection in a shop window and saw that my hair was a bit messy and I had a few scratches, but I looked presentable. I continued on my way fixing my hair. I felt something slip into my hand and saw a glimpse of the woman. I looked at the objects and saw my phone with my car keys taped to it. 'Well, then I just have to find my car,' I thought looking around. Then I remembered. The pond. I looked on my GPS to see where to go and started to follow the directions. 

     I got to the pond and found my car. I got in and locked the doors. I called my sister before I started the car. It began to ring and I waited. She picked up on the second ring.

     "Hey, popcorn what's up?" She said.

     "Hey, Jamie, I was just wondering what you were doing and if you were okay."

     I then heard her yell, "I'M GOING TO TOKYO, JAPAN!"

     I pulled the phone away from my ear when she yelled and replied with," Really?! That's so cool when are you going?"

     "Tomorrow morning! I'm already at a hotel next to the airport!" She said with an amazing amount of excitement.

     "I'm sorry I won't be able to see you off," I said a bit sad.

     "It's fine, I will call and text you every day!" she said. I heard another voice and she said, "Oh, My boyfriend is also going."

     "I hope you two have fun!" I said starting the car.

     "Thanks!...I'm sorry but I have to go we are getting something to eat."

     "Okay, talk to you tomorrow!" I said putting on my seat belt.

     "Kk, bye!"

     "Buh-Bye, Jams," I said before hanging up. 

     I put my phone down and started to drive to my apartment. I parked and took the elevator up. I was hungry and I wanted to cook. After the food was made I sat down to eat. Only then did the full realization of murder fell on my shoulders. I was terrified, not because she was my Aunt, but because she was a living human and that alone made me shudder. 'Why me?' I thought as I finished my food.

     I changed into dark clothes and I put on shoes that were too big for me. I headed out. The woman was outside, and she called me over. "You only have tonight," She said handing me a black pistol.

     She left and I got into my car. Before starting it I thought, 'I cant arrive in my car that's a stupid mistake.' so I hotwired someone else's. Don't ask me how I knew that before. I left my phone at my house and put on black gloves. Then I was on my way. The way to her house was ingrained in my mind, from the multiple groceries store trips. I got to her house at 11:30. She should be sleeping. I parked the car a block away in someone else's driveway.

    I walked up the stairs to her mansion. I got the spare key from under the plant. I opened the door quietly. The entire place was silent. I walked up the grand staircase and to her room.  I snuck in. I almost tripped over a chair in the dark. I felt around her king-sized bed until I felt her hair. 'Good thing, she's a heavy sleeper.' I thought as I felt were her face was. 

     I started to debate if I should use the gun, then I thought of something better. I went to the garage and rolled down the windows to the car slightly, and brought her down. I locked her in and started the car. I went to the security cameras and took them and erased everything that happened, I brought them with me too. I left everything in order and left through the back door. I walked home the long way taking my time. I got home around 5:00 am in the morning. I was about to fall asleep when I thought about work. I called in sick. I fell asleep and woke up at 1:00 pm hearing a knock on the door. 

     I sluggishly got out of bed, not bothering to fix how I looked. I opened the door without checking and saw the woman. "Turn on the news," she said letting herself in. I closed the door and she turned on the T.V. "My name is Emily by the way," She said sitting down.

     I nodded my head, 'like I really cared,' I thought sitting down next to her. 

     I looked at the T.V. and listened. "A woman named Amelia Locksea seemed to have killed herself this morning. She died from inhaling the fumes produced from her car. The police are investigating further because it seemed unlikely she killed herself, so far no note was found."

     I looked at Emily and asked, "Is this all you want, am I free to go now?" Emily just laughed and looked at me, "This was only the beginning." 

     The next week was Amelia's funeral. I only went because my sister insisted. I can't refuse my sister. It was a bright sunny day. I was crying silently, not because of who she was, only because she was a human that was a big part of my life. I hugged a cousin. He hugged me back. After it was over I stayed a bit longer. I put down a bouquet of white roses. She liked red roses better. 

     That's how I ended up here. Talking to you about it. Giving you a note. Don't worry about the person. No matter who you get they always did or are doing something bad. I will give you a week." I said handing the girl a note. 

     I walked out and climbed a latter onto the rooftops. I started to watch as the girl, only age sixteen, walked out onto the street shaking. She had to kill her abusive uncle. I smiled 'I hope my sister is alright' I thought getting out of my phone to call her.
