✝ ✝ ✝

His dark brown eyes didn't leave her figure as she stood up from the table, excusing herself to the ladies room. She was beautiful, bright blue eyes and chocolate brown hair. He was determined to take her as his own.

Sophie Reynolds is this girl's name. She's seventeen years old, a senior in high school. Her grades excel above everyone else's and she's a fabulous volleyball player. She has an older brother, Ryan, and a younger brother, Chad. Her parents, Gregory and Heather, have been happily married for twenty-five years. They own a chain of grocery stores and her father owns a stock in the 'Reynolds' tin foil stocks ironically. Her older brother, Ryan, is nineteen and is a freshman in collage and her younger brother, Chad, is fifteen and is a sophomore in high school.

Calum's done quite a bit of research on her.

When she was finally out of her family's sight, he stood up from the table he was at alone and walked to the bathrooms. He waited until she came back out before grabbing her arm, dragging her out of the very small Denny's and into the chilly night air with a hand over her mouth. She stumbled as he walked at a fast pace, taking his hand off of her mouth to open his car door.

As soon as his hand left her mouth, she let out a piercing scream. It burned her lungs and throat, making her lose her breath slightly. "Shut the fuck up." He hissed, shoving her into the back seat before slamming the door closed.

Sophie started to sweat, panic coursing through her veins when he got into the driver seat and started the car. "Where are you taking me? Let me g-" "I swear to fucking god.. If you don't shut the hell up, I will slit your god damn throat." Her small hand instinctively came up and touched her throat, eyes widening in horror. Was this a joke? Her parents must be messing with her, there's no way she is actually getting kidnapped. This is just insane.

Taking a shaky breath, she took in this mystery boy's appearance. He had tattoos covering both his tones arms, which she thought was very attractive. From the rear view mirror she could see his right eyebrow was pierced as well as his right nostril. His eyes looked as black as night, just like his hair and his skin was tanned nicely. "Um.. what's.. What's you're name?" She asked in a small voice, cowering at the harsh glare he gave her. Tears collected in her eyes and his eyes softened a bit. "Calum." He said, taking a left turn to god knows where. "Oh... Why did you take me?" She questioned further, making his grip on the steering wheel tighten and his knuckles turn a shade of white. "Because Sophie... You're mine." Was all he said and then there was silence the rest of the way to wherever he was taking her.

Sophie's bright blue eyes shifted around the car to try and find a weapon to defend herself, because as soon as he opened that door she was going to run. As she was searching, she glanced at him and noticed something. A pentagram on the back of his neck. It didn't look like a tattoo, but a scar. "Why do you have that scar?" She question, reaching a curious hand up to touch it. Once her skin met his he tensed, moving forward before shifting his eyes to the mirror. "Don't fucking touch me." He spat, focusing on the road again. She retracted her hand, placing it in her lap while her eyes continued to roam for a weapon. Something glinted on the floor as they passed countless street lights and she saw a car antenna. She leaned over slowly and picked it up, sliding it up her sweater sleeve so he couldn't see it.

After the car ride, which was quite long, they arrived at an old house. There seemed to be no neighbors, which meant Sophie would have to run fast to try and find somebody to help her. Calum moved the gear shift into park, making his bicep bulge slightly. He then took his seat belt off and got out, opening the back door. "C'mon." He said, reaching in and grabbing her elbow. She crawled out, standing next to his towering figure. She shimmied the antenna from her sleeve into her hand and brought it up, about to swing at him. Before she could bring the antenna down, he grabbed her wrist and pinned her whole body to the car. 

Calum leaned down, pressing his lips to her ear. "You made a mistake princess." She whimpered when he bit down on the skin of her neck hard. Once he let go, his tongue ran over the sore spot before he pulled away. "Now.. If you don't cooperate I'm going to break each one of those pretty little fingers." Her breath caught in her throat as his vise like grip on her wrists got even tighter. A small sob fell from her lips as he pulled her into the house.

Slamming the door shut, her pushed her towards a hallway. "Walk." He commanded, but being the slightly stubborn girl she is Sophie didn't move. "I said fucking walk." He grabbed her upper arms harshly, forcing her to move. 

They came to a black door with a large lock on it. He let go of her with one hand to fish the key out of his pocket and she saw the opportunity to run. As he was preoccupied she clawed at his other hand, running down the hall and back out of the front door. She frantically looked left and right, her legs carrying her to the left across the lawn and past a few trees. "Get the hell back here you little bitch!" Calum roared, chasing after her. Her breathing was ragged and her thighs burned from trying to get away but he was fast. 

She turned her head to see how close he was and fell to the ground, tripping over a root in the ground. "No no! Please!" She begged as he picked her up, grabbing her arms harshly once more. "You're in for it now princess." He muttered under his breath as they made their way back to the house. She was a sobbing mess, barely able to walk as he continued to shove her. 

When they got back inside, she saw the door was open. "Please Calum... Don't" She pleaded, trying to dig the heels of her now muddy converse into the floor to stop him. He ignored her, pushing her down the steps. "You better walk or you're going to fall. And I'm not going to catch you." He said in a monotone, continuing down the stairs. 

Darkness surrounded them until he flicked on a dim light, casting shadows across the many things in the large basement. Sophie was horrified. There were blood stains on the floor and walls, making the room smell somewhat metallic. There were also different torture devices along the walls. Her eyes moved to the corner of the room and she instantly felt sick, bile rising up her throat as she bent over and expelled it all over the floor. In the corner of the room lay a naked woman who looked about her early twenties, lacerations all over her body and blood dried on her skin. 

"God damn it." He grabbed a rope off of the counter, pushing her in a chair and tying her ankles to the legs while shackling her arms to the wall. "Now my dear, be a good girl and that won't happen to you." He jestured to the woman, which made Sophie almost throw up once more. 

Calum turned, going up the steps. "Sleep tight princess." With that he flicked off the lightswitch and locked the door.
