Kidnapping Sophie

So what if I talk to myself?

Song: Stand in the rain by Superchick

We drove for hours...and I mean hours...to the point where I was almost out of gas again.

"Stop at this store up ahead...we need to get some supplies." He said as he watched me pull into the parking lot. "Now get out...if you say anything and I mean anything I will kill you do you understand."

I nod my head.

"Do you understand...say it out loud..."

"Yes...I understand...say nothing, keep my mouth shut. I got it." I roll my eyes at him. Of course he doesn't see me because I am looking out the door window.I opened the door slowly, a part of me told myself this is the time to escape...to get away however I end up walking by his side like we were actually together.

The whole time he was placing things for us to eat in the basket. Things that did not need to be cooked...things you would take on a camping trip maybe. There were a few items that I was not sure about but he didn't care what I had to say, like spam and sardines...Ewe.

When we walk up to the casher, the lady rings up all the stuff and keeps giving me a look behind her big think lens glasses, but never says anything. "That will be sixty-four dollars and thirty-three cents....please."

I waited for the guy to pay for it but he glared at me. "Pay for it...it's not like I have any money."

"Are you serious....I don't have that kind of money to spend?"

"Yes you do...open your little purse and get out daddy's card...I know you got one all you young girls do."I roll my eyes contemplating if I want to get the card out or not.

He is still holding the nice little knife in his right hand and he shows me without the lady behind the counter being able to see. I roll my eyes again and dig for the damn card to hand it to the lady.The lady starts coughing one of those smoker coughs and I just know she is dying for us to leaves so that she can continue her cancer stick once we leave. "You alright sweetheart?"

"Yes ma'am...just been a long day driving that's all."

When she hands me my card back, I toss it in my purse and grab all the bags. I walk out to the car and place them in the back seat.

"Get in...she's not going to help you." He tells me...noticing that I keep looking back at the lady from the inside. I wanted to run...to scream for help, but I didn't. Instead I got in the driver seat and took off once again down the road. "Hand me your phone."

"Why?" I look down and it is in the console between us. I watch as he picks it up and looks at it and then he rolls down the window and throws it out. I watch it bounce along the pavement from my rearview mirror. "Why the hell did you do that for?"

But he just smiles back at me with that crooked little mouth of his.

We drove until the light came on saying that I needed gas. "We should have gotten gas back there you know."

"It's alright...we are getting off on this road anyway."

I take the next right and drive down an old country road and then onto a gravel road covered with towering trees. I think about some of those horror movies you know the ones where the group of friends decides to go camping and then the serial killer comes along...yep that is this road. At the very end was a worn down cabin. I pull up and keep the car running.

He looks over at me with that glare again. "Turn it off and get out."

I shake my head no.

"Sophie...I will not ask you again." This time he holds the knife up and the sun hits the blade just right and I know he is not afraid to use it.
