My Turn

Chapter ten

Hey guys so I think I'm going to use this chapter to tie this story into my other book called "The Happily Ever After," so after this chapter I will write a chapter in the other story about the events in this chapter through America and Maxons perspective. Enjoy:)
______________________________

I'm under the covers of my bed whispering to Asher over FaceTime at about 1:00 AM when everything goes wrong. I hear the door to my room swing open and I shut down my laptop expecting it to be mom and wondering why she would be awake at this hour. But, as my head leaves the covers I see it's not mom whose enters my room, but some man, around his 40s, who I've never seen before.

"Your coming with me," he grumbles.

"Who are you?" I ask terrified to my very core.

"I'll be asking the questions here!" He shouts. "Now we can either do this the easy way or the hard way, it's up to you."

I sneak my phone into my underpants under the cover so he can't see and pray that it's on silent. Then I follow him out of my house and into his white van. This is not good.

I expect the rest of my family to be in the van already, but to my surprise it's empty. There are no windows so I have no idea where I'm going.

I pull out my phone to text America.

Someone kidnaped me, I'm in a white van and just left house. Can you track my phone?

I don't expect her to be up anytime soon so I'm left alone to my thoughts for the rest of the car ride. After about three hours the van comes to a stop.

The man comes to open the door and instructs me to follow him. I try to keep my eyes open for any address or street name to text America when I realize that there is no street. In fact I don't even see a building. I want to ask where we are going but I remember the mans warning to not ask any questions.

"Sit!" He says pointing to the ground. I do as I'm told and he ties my hands up behind my back and ties a rope around my mouth.

Then he sets up a video camera, no doubt this will be sent to my sister. I can only hope she got my message.

He turns on the camera and I expect for him to start listing off demands but instead he walks towards me. Oh no!

He squats down to my level and leans in. He licks my cheek and neck and moves his tongue down towards my chest.

A single tear roles down my cheek as I realize why only I was taken. He reaches his hands down and is about to pull off my shirt as I hear a siren coming towards us.

America must have gotten my message! Thank god! My capturer hears them too and runs off into the forest. Once the car pulls up America, Maxon, Mom, and a slew of guards get out.

America rushes towards me and unties me. Then, she wraps me in a big hug.

"Oh May," she says. "I'm so sorry! Just because Maxon and I can't please the people doesn't mean you should have to suffer as well!"

"Actually," I say with a new batch of tears rolling down my face. "This wasn't about the monarchy at all. He he-"

"He what?" She asks. I can't say it. I'm too ashamed. I just look down.

"May," she says starting to understand. "Did he try to take advantage of you?" I nod my head and let the tears come. They come in waves now.

I enter the car and sit between mom and America.

"What did he do to you?" America whispers.

"Not much," I say. "You got there just as he was starting. I didn't expect you to get my message this soon, but thank god you did."

"Oh May," she says brining me in for another hug. "I'm so sorry. I'm going to beef up security at that house. I'm not having something like this happen ever again."

"Thanks Ames," I tell her. "I love you."

"I love you too May," she says squeezing me tighter.

And there, in my sisters arms, I fell asleep.
