I wake up to my phone ringing constantly. It stops but then it starts again. Who could be calling me at this hour? It's 3 in the morning! I groan and roll over to answer the phone not checking who it is. "Hello? Who is this?" I speak with a tired voice. All I hear is the cliche heavy breathing on the other line. Right as I am about to hang up the person says something.
"Blake. Am I right?" The person sounds out of breath but I don't question it.
"This is she? I'm sorry, but to whom am I speaking with?" He ignores my question.
"You didn't hear this from me but you need to get out of your house as fast and quietly as you can. Get somewhere safe. Preferably the motel down the street. You will be safe there. I left money in a bag and keys to black chevy pulled around back. Just get away from here." The line goes dead. I freak out and freeze for a few moments before I hear people outside and the sound of shattering glass. I rush to my window and open it. I crawl out closing the window before it slips from my fingers. It slams shut. And before I know it someone is reaching through the window to grab me and I fall from my roof. Shit! I think I fucked up ankle. Shit shit shit! I pull myself off the ground and do my best to run. I can hear the people getting in their vehicles and shouting things at each other. I continue running down the road in my tank top and pajama shorts. My bare feet are stinging as they hit the pavement but I see the hotel just ahead. I see the figure of a man standing just ahead of me leaning against a wall. I start screaming to get his attention; I get it. He sees the vehicles behind me and can hear the men shouting. He starts running towards me at an unbelievably fast pace. He is about to reach out for me before someone opens their truck door and snatches me right off the road taking off down the road to who knows where.
I know this is a really short chapter but I just don't have as much time as I had hoped for this book. But no worries! I will still be updating this when I can. I just have to put SAT's and other school crap first. Hope you understand!
