A day to the wedding…

“Reece I'm going to visit the pond down the street before we leave" Yes!,our wedding was going to be held in Paris.

“Ava, our wedding is tomorrow.  I don't want anything  happening  to you especially with the weird things that have been going on”. Reece said.

“Sebastian,Reece. I'd  be fine, it's just down the street" I rolled my eyes but assured him and he sighed.

“Fine, but  wear this".He said,clipping a little device to the belt of my trousers”.

“What's that?. A tracker?”.I asked and he put another device that looked like a hair clip, in my hair.

“It's a device used for communication .I can speak to you with it and vice versa. I mean  since I still haven't replaced your phone that I destroyed and I don't want you getting lost or something."he said and I rolled my eyes.

“Why do you even have these?” I asked.

“Let's just say, I like to keep myself  and the people I love, secure.”He said.

“Anyway, I'll be on my way.Bye!” I said and left for the pond. On my way to the pond,a girl,about my age, stopped me.

“Hi, Oh my Gosh , are you Ava Samuels?” She said and I looked at her but nodded.

“I'm such A huge fan!. I heard that you're getting  married to the famous Sebastian Shore. It's all over the news!!!" She squealed and I just nodded waiting for her to get to the point.

“Small world. I actually work in an event company. Owned by my father and we have a huge hall that you can use. Would you like to check it out?” She said.

“Actually I don't  need a hall. I already have one but Thanks for asking”I said, going but she held my arm.

“Please ma'am. I'm trying to impress my father and show him that I have what it takes to take over his company. Getting you to rent one of his halls would be good publicity . Please at least come check it out"she said with tears glistening in her eyes.I felt bad for her.

“Fine , show me the place”.I said and she hugged me.

“Thank you!,Thank you!!, Thank you!!!.My dad would be so delighted to meet you".

We entered a cab and he dropped us at a weird looking place tucked at the end of a street. “Is this the venue?”I asked her as I paid the  cab and got out.

“Yes. I know it looks weird but trust me, the inside is way better than outside.

“Uhm sorry I need to get back to my Fiancé. He is expecting me". I said trying to escape. I didn't like the feeling I was getting

“Please ma'am. My mum is inside waiting for us" she said.

“Wait! Your Mum?. I thought  you said your dad". I said and she fidgeted.

“Umm y-yes but uhh-" She stammered and all I could see were red flags.I needed to get out of that place.The place looked deserted and lifeless.

“I'm not interested, Bye" I said but before I could leave she brought out a cloth and gagged me with what smelt like chloroform. I tried to scream, but the sounds were muffled due to the cloth that was placed over my mouth and nose. All efforts to  break loose fell and soon after, darkness overtook me.
