Alisha POV
The next morning I wake up, curled in a ball on my leather couch. Alone. I rub my tired eyes and stomp my way to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. Going to the refrigerator to grab some milk, I notice one of those sticky notes stuck on my fridge. 'Dear Alisha, sorry I wasn't there when you woke up, I had to sort something important out.. Thanks for bailing me out though! I'll Call you soon! love Jai xo'. I smiled at the note and stuck it back on the fridge. I grabbed the milk and continued on to make my morning coffee.
I decide to start cleaning up the house, as it would at least be a nice welcome home for Cody tomorrow. I fold some washing and place it on each of our beds. I'll deal with it later. I spread out new sheets on my bed, smoothing out each layer I put on. I tuck the sides of the quilt that peeks out, under the mattress making it look somewhat neater and elegant looking. Kneeling on the ground still tucking sheets, I hear a faint but high pitch beeping from downstairs. I raise myself to my feet and listen harder, 'beep beep beep' it goes again. I frown to myself and dismiss the sheets and walk downstairs to see what the hell the beeping is coming from. I follow the high pitch racquet, getting closer and closer each step, passing through the main lounge and into the laundry. Stepping as slowly as possible. I walk towards the glass sliding door and look outside. The beeping has stopped. I look around the room and side to side out the door again for a good 2 minutes. I sigh giving up a turn around to walk out the door 'beep beep beep' it goes again even louder making me half scream. I place my hand on my heart as I notice it's only the dryer telling me the vent is full. I scoff to myself at how dumb and paranoid I could be and I clean and dust around the dryer to make it happy again. Turning around and making my way through the lounge to the stairs I notice the alarm system is alight. I walk over to the monitor and punch in my code and close it again. Thinking nothing of it I jog up the stairs and towards my room, pushing open the door with the palm of my hand. I watch my feet as I step into my modern room and hear a clear voice speak from in front of me.
"Long time no see baby girl". My head jolts upwards to see that fucking psychopath, smirking as he rocks back and forth in my corner chair.
"Oh..my..god" I whisper and step back.
"Have you missed me? I've missed you" Luke smirks again as he places his foot firmly down on the ground, preventing the chair from rocking any more and he stands tall.
"How did you get in here? The alarm-"
"Do you know what I am baby girl?" Luke speaks over the top of me, calmly. I shake my head, too afraid to speak.
"I'm what you call.. Let's say a demon perhaps. I contain two souls but you only see a shell of one" luke walks closer to me "And I own you" he murmurs in my ear giving me goosebumps.
"Run" he whispers softly in my ear before his eyes turn black and he licks his lips. I take no time to do as what I am told and I take off, racing so fast down the stairs I almost tumble down. I run through my lounge, panicking. Afraid. And I make my way to my front door when I bump into a rock hard body.
"Hello again" luke winks and grabs me, holding back my arms as I try trash in his grip.
"HELP! HELP" I scream as loud as I ever thought I could possibly let my lungs scream.
"Sh sh sh, don't get me mad baby. I won't hurt you if you be a good girl" Luke sweet talks as he cups his large hand over my mouth, making my screams and sobs come out as a muffled mess. Luke grips me tighter as I try once more to free myself. I let out a cry thinking I am going to die right here, right now.
"I think she needs to be sedated don't you brother?" Luke chuckles as he pins me down to the ground, almost crushing my ribs. I panic even more and my breath quickens as I watch a figure appear from around the entrance.
"Definitely" a familiar voice laughs, flicking a syringe.
"Jai?" I attempt to speak. My heart brakes. Like that I feel as though I have been betrayed and played. And I cry even harder as Luke holds my head to the side, exposing my naked neck to Jai as he pierces the syringe into my skin and injects me with sedative drugs, making my body go limp and weak within seconds.
I wake up in a darkish room with only a skylight above me to light the room, I sit up in what obviously seems to be a bed. I throw back a quilt and let my feet touch the ground. My legs shake violently and I fall to the ground. Crawling I make my way towards a door and start knocking.
"What is this!?" I yell out, banging on the door. I hear deep footsteps near the door and some keys jiggling. I quickly shuffle backwards to avoid being taken out by the door.
"Ah you're awake" Luke chuckles as he closes the door behind him.
"Where am I?" I ask looking around the room.
"The outback" luke smirks.
"W-what do you mean?" I stutter and sniffle.
"Welcome to Australia baby" luke grins and stretches out his arms.
"The police will find you, they'll take you away and you'll be locked in a cell for the rest of your life you son of a bitch" I grit through my teeth.
"That's no way to speak to your leader" luke raises his eyebrow and crossed his arms. I scoff and sit in my fairly comfy bed.
"You're just a patient at a criminally insane institution, don't fool yourself" I mumble and throw the quilt over my legs. I shuffle around a little, getting comfortable in bed when a heavy weight is hovering over me in a instant moment, hands placed beside my head making it impossible for me to escape.
"Now missy, you better show some respect. Because if you don't. You will die" Luke growls in my face, getting the point across. My breath quickens as I stare into his eyes. I've never been so close to him before. He's so rough but gentle at the same time. I gulp and quickly nod my head, letting him know I understand. Luke's eyes search my face and he drags his thumb across my cheekbone lightly. I close my eyes tightly, scared for what's to happen next.
"Good girl. Now rest up because you're going to meet my boys at dinner tonight" Luke huskily speaks as he crawls off you and towards the door. "There's a bag of clothes in the cupboard. If you're well behaved you can sleep in a proper room" Luke finally speaks before closing the door and locking it up. Leaving me in the dark room alone to sleep.
