Soeurs

Chapter 2

Zoe

"Zoe I know you won't understand but I am doing this for your own good."

He was trying to get me to go into a van but I was fighting him off.

"What are you talking about? Who are you? I dont even know you!" I yelled back. Then I felt it, a sharp pain on the back of my head.

          Now here I was. I could not move without pain shooting through my head. I could not see anything when I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry. As things began to come into focus I couldn't recognize where I was. I tried to sit up but my head only bothered me more. I could feel the creeses on my wrist as if I had been tied up before but I wasn't anymore. I stretched out my legs only to be greeted with a cramp.

"Ahhhhh" I screamed out in pain. I tried not to be too loud. I still did not know where I was and I did not want anyone who was here to know that I was awake.

 Once the pain stopped I sat up in bed and waited a second for my head to clear up. I wanted to stand up but I was afraid that I would fall or lose my balance. I wasn't sure how long I had been out.

 I have probably been out for days but I had never been this tired.

        I put both my feet to the ground. I was scared to fall if I couldn't keep my balance so I started to look around for something to hold onto. I started to walk around and look at the room. I noticed a mirror on the closet door and decided to look in it. I was still wearing the dress I had been wearing when I was drugged, or at least i think I was drugged. There were clothes in the closet.

"No"

         I knew these clothes. There were all mine. Sort of. These clothes had price tags on them. They were brand new. The more I looked through the closet the more things started to freak me out. Whoever had me here lnew what clothes I wore and went out and bought the exact same things to put in this closet. I was more confused than ever. That means they would have had access to my closet at home. They were in my home and in my closet.

It was taking me a few minutes to take all of this in. I just couldn't get it. How was this so?

        Just as I as starting to get myself together I heard footsteps pass by. I was scared that whoever was out there would try to come in. I quickly laid back down on the bed and tried to act as if I was still asleep. I could hear the door being played with. Whoever had me in here had the door locked. My heartbeat was racing but I tried as hard as I could to keep my breathing under control. I heard the door creak open followed by footsteps inside the room.

Daniel

        Do Not tell anyone! No one must know that she is here. She is in danger, hidden here is the only way she is safe. She will not understand why she is here. Your job is to help her understand this is the safest place for her. This is her home now. Help her understand just like we helped you.

Thats all the letter said. I was to keep her safe. I knew one day I would have to return the favor that was done for me. I had to help this girl understand who she really was. It will not be easy. I know it was not easy for Ian to deal with me when he was assigned to guide me. I have to be patient with her. Something I will probably have to keep reminding myself.

        I looked up to cath her file throught the corner of my eye. I had resisted the file for the past three days. I knew once I opened it I would know all there is to know about her but I didn't want to. What if she was a Luna? Or what if she was a Hale? What if I am exaggerating and she's just part of the normal families like a Hamilton or a Delgado? I did not like the idea of someone knowing everything about me before I even knew myself. I got lucky with Ian and he never opened up my black folder. The folder with files telling him everything he needed to know about me. He waited and gave it to me and let me decide if I wanted to share the information with him. I felt extremely respected by him and I felt grateful because he kept such information private.

        I haven't looked in her room since she was dropped off. When they brought her in it was dark and I could tell she was ristsitng when they first picked her up bcause she was ties up. I know the order, they dont like violence so they only tie you up if it was absolutely necessary. Unfortunately that is all I had noticed. I could not see her face so I couldnt recognize her.

 Curiosity is killing me. I want to know what she looks like before I really freak out. I know I had a crazy look on my face for a week before I let Ian anywhere near me.

     I began to walk down the hallway but I stopped halfway. I could hear footsteps closeby. They were coming from her room. I heard the bed creek and I knew she heard me. The footsteps were probably her running to the bed. I walked towards the door and began to open it. WHen I walked in she lying in bed with her eyes closed.

I knew she was not asleep.

Zoe

"You don't have to pretend to be asleep" he said.

"I heard you walking around a couple seconds ago, I know you're awake." I could hear his footsteps inside the room, he was getting closer.

 "Please just open your eyes so I know that you're ok?" This guy wanted to know if I was okay? Is he crazy? I was not going to acknowledge him for a second.

 "Look I am not the one who brought you here, I am here to help you. I'm not the one who took you. I just hope your ok and not too scared." He sounded sincere. Something in his voice made me think that he was telling me the truth.

       I was having trouble deciding what it was exactly that I wanted to do. Should I believe him? Or is this guy just a really good actor. I heard footsteps walking again but they were walking away.

"I hope you change your mind." He said and I could hear the door beginning to close.

 I got up and said "wait."

      He looked at me and did not say anything. he was just staring at me with a crazy look. He was standing at the doorway studying me I guess. It ws not a while untill he said anything to me.

"I knew you were awake." He smirked.
