Natalia's POV:

"Have I told you that I forgive you?" I asked Ryder as we walked back to school. We decided to walk to the hospital since it was pretty close. Both of us walked hand in hand. I loved the way my hand fit in his perfectly.

"Yeah. You have. Why?" He asked me quizically. He looked cute with his eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.

"When I went after Susan, she told me why you kissed her. She threatened you, didn't she?" I asked him. There was that regret on his face again.

"Yeah, she did. I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean to hurt....." he said but I cut him off with my lips on his.

"I know you didn't mean to hurt me. Thank you. For doing that to protect my secret." I said, a warm smile spreading over my lips.

"I'd do anything to protect you. To keep you from getting hurt. You have no idea how much I love you." He said pushing a strand of hair away from my face. Butterflies erupted in my stomach everytime he told me he loved me.

We kept walking and talking and before we knew it, we were already at school. Everyone had already left.

"How about we go out later today?" He asked me.

"Okay. I'll see you later then." I said before reaching up and kissing his cheek.

It was five o' clock in the evening. I was waiting for Ryder to pick me up. I told him I could drive myself but he refused to tell me where he was taking me. I tried calling him, but he didn't pick up. Maybe his phone was dead.

I paced around in the living room. The doorbell and I rushed to open it. I expected to see Ryder standing there but it was someone else. It was a guy wearing a blue uniform and he had a tool box in his hand.

"Is this Natalia Alejandro's residence?" The man asked me.

"Yes. And you are?" I asked him.

"I'm an electrician. Someone called Nina called me and said there was a problem in the lighting in the kitchen." He said. There was this strange feeling in my gut. You know that feeling where you feel nauseous when you know something is off? That's exactly what I felt.

"You said Nina called you?" I asked him. He nodded. There probably was some problem then. Nina was out to get some groceries.

"Alright come in." I said. I led him to be kitchen. He switched on the lights. And just like he said, most of them weren't working.

"I'll let you do your work then." I said before heading to the living room. I couldn't shake that uneasy feeling. 'Come on Natalia. It's just an electrician for fucks sake. If you're really that suspicious than call Nina and ask her.' My conscience scolded me.

I should just call her. I dialled her number.

"Nina, ¿había algún problema en las luces de la cocina?(Nina, was there any problem in the kitchen lights?)" I asked her.

"Si habia. ¿Por qué? ¿Hay algo mal?(Yes, there was. Why? Is something wrong?)" She asked me.

"Nada. Es sólo que el electricista al que llamaste se acercó. Sólo te estaba preguntando cuándo volverás. Voy a salir con Ryder en un rato.(Nothing. It's just that the electrician you called came over. I was just asking when you're coming back. I'm going out with Ryder in a bit.)" I said. There was no need to be worried. I was just over thinking the entire situation.

Nina stayed queit for a while.

"Nina, ¿está todo bien?(Nina, is everything okay?)" I asked her.

"Lia, no he llamado al electricista. Iba a ir, pero eso era mañana. ¿De qué electricista está hablando?(Lia, I didn't call the electrician. I was going to but that was tomorrow. What electrician are you talking about?)" She asked me. Her voice was dead serious. My heart beat accelerated. Not in a good way.

"Un electricista se acercó y dijo que lo llamaste. Lo dejo entrar. Está arreglando las luces en la cocina ahora.(An electrician came over and said that you called him. I let him in. He's fixing the lights in the kitchen right now.)" I said. Maybe she forgot she called him.

"Escúchame con atención. No llamé a nadie. Quiero que obtengas a quienquiera que esté fuera de la casa.(Listen carefully to me Lia. I didn't call anyone. I want you to get whoever that is out of the house okay?)" She said. I swallowed hard.

"Bueno. Te llamare luego.(Okay. I'll call you back.)" I said before hanging up. Shit. Who was this and what was he doing in my house? 'Now's not the time to chicken out Natalia. Come on. You're smarter and stronger than whoever is in here with you.' My conscience said. I took in a deep breath. I called Ryder again, but he still didn't answer.

"Fuck." I muttered under my breath. I held my knife in my hand and went to the kitchen. The man was gone. Where did he go? His tools were still on the floor. He was still in the house. I held my knife tightly in my hand. I would've used my gun instead but it was upstairs.

I heard a sound behind me. I whipped around to see no one there. Suddenly, out of no where a hand wrapped around my mouth. It wasn't just a hand, it was handkerchief. The man was drugging me. I tried to stab him but he knocked the knife out of my hand. I kicked at him and struggled to get out but his grip was extremely strong.

"Don't struggle. You're only making it harder for yourself. You know, you're pretty naive especially if you consider yourself the best underground fighter." He said. The drug was finally kicking in. My vision became blurry and it was harder to concentrate on my surroundings. I tried to scream and shout but all my efforts went in vain. There was no one to hear me.

"Wow. You were easier. I thought you'd put up more of a fight than your little boy did. Lord, was he a pain in the ass to kidnap." He said. Nothing was making any sense anymore. I stopped resisting.

My heart dropped. Ryder. They had Ryder.

Ryder was all I could think of before everything went pitch black.
