Stormy

Chapter Five: Danger comes to Celest...

Locked in. How did we get locked in? The door locked from the outside so it was obvious how I suppose. So who? I turned back to face my room, chewing the inside of my cheek and thinking hard. Would my father have done this? Was it Claudia pulling a joke on me? I had no idea. Claudia would be by in the morning with my morning tea, so she could unlock the door if it wasn't her in the first place. Sighing, I turned back to Logan. "Well I suppose we can make do until morning when Claudia comes with tea. I have some extra quilts you can use. And if you don't mind sleeping on the floor..." I trailed off uncertainly.

"Oh no it fine. Don't worry." He said quickly. I nodded, still biting my cheek. Together we dragged a large quilt to the rug near the fire, and I grabbed him some pillows. When we had created a satisfactory bed for him a walked into the washroom to change into my night gown. Looking in the mirror my face seemed pale and tired,

Before getting undressed, I turned on the faucet to a small trickle and rubbed water on my face. At that very same moment the rain and wind quieted to a faint and far away sounding patter.
"What the..." I muttered to myself. My neck prickled and my fingers felt cold. I rubbed my hands together, and grabbed a rag from the hook on the wall and turned the water on a bit more and held the rag under the cascade. The rain outside suddenly fell harder, again my neck tingled. I turned my head to look out the window at the whipping wind and rain and then back to the faucet.

I quickly turned off the water and then looked back outside. The rain slowed yet again to an almost silent and far away patter. My heart beat began to race, and something in the pit of my stomach knew something wasn't right at all. Breathing quickly, I made to exit the wash room and get to Logan. I turned towards the door but walked right into something large.

I tried to scream as large arms grabbed me but a bag was shoved over my head and I was dragged roughly out if the room. I could hear more movement around me. I tried yelling for Logan screaming and kicking. Then I heard him yell,
"Rosalyn! Let go of her!" Then a muffled thump and a groan. I screamed again for Logan but there was no answer. Instead I was shaken violently.
"Shut it, or we'll have to hurt you too." Said the gruff voice of the man holding me. I kicked and writhed, anything to get loose, but the man was too strong.
"Alright let's get'm out of here." Said another male voice. I was jerked off my feet for a minute before being dragged scrips the floor. I began to kick and scream again and I felt my legs hit the door frame. Suddenly I was hit with something hard and everything went black.
