Sixteen-year-old Genius || COMPLETED||

7: Taken

Alyssa Mercer's POV*

I walk back to the hotel and crash onto my bed. I don't take off my bloody clothing. I sit up and take off my shoes. I go to the bathroom and shove my hair into a ponytail. I take off my clothes and put on my pajamas. I set my lights low and climb into bed. I close my eyes when a rag came down on my face. I held my breath, knowing chloroform was on it. I thrashed out as the person pressed the rag deeper into my face. I had to breathe and I did. Like an idiot. I have an IQ of 196 and I breathed in a sleep drug. I'm dumb. Black edged my vision and I was out like a light.

-Timelapse-

I'm smacked awake. I gasp from the sudden pain and my eyes water. I blink my tears away and try to see the person who took me. I am only met with a mask and I scream. The person laughed at me. It was definitely a man, it was too deep to be a woman. He looks at me and says,

" Now, he can't save you."

I glare at my captor and spit at him. It lands right in his eye. Thank you, Thayer. He growls and grabs my messed up hair. He pulls hard and I scream. He pushes me back and I fall to the floor. My breath was knocked out of my lungs. I struggled to catch my breath. My chair lifted and I yelped as it slammed back to the hard marble floor. He slaps me again and I grit my teeth in pain. 

" Why won't you answer me, Alyssa?!"

I stared at him. My tears blur my vision.

" Do you not remember me?"

" No. I do not. And I have an eidetic memory."

He rips off his mask and I stare at him. Trying to remember him. He looks me in the eyes and then it hits me. He was a boy that I liked when I was younger. Around the time when my mom and dad died. 

" Johnny?"

He smiled that charming smile, showing off his dimples. 

" Now, you remember me?"

I nod quickly. 

" Now, Spencer isn't here to protect you." 

I clench my jaw as he said his name. 

" Shut up! He will find me! He will!" I yell at him. Tears fall down my face as he just laughs. He pats my cheek and walks away.

" Johnny! Get back here! PLEASE!"

I yell and scream. My wrists are rubbed raw. I sob into the empty room, thinking about Spencer. I know he hates me for being the newest doctor and being the smartest but I miss him. I hope he finds me. I look around to see anything identifiable about my location. I can't see anything but a computer. It's not so far from me. I look at the bottom right corner and see the date: January 20, 2009. So I have been taken for no more than 14 hours. I look around with wide eyes and say out loud, hoping that Johnny is listening,

" Spencer will find me. and when he does I can guarantee that you won't live to see tomorrow."   

He scoffs and comes back. He grabs my face in his surprisingly soft hands and says quietly,

" If he tries to find you, I guarantee that he won't live to see the next minute of his life."

I choke on my outcry and he wipes my tears away. No, he can't hurt him!  His blue eyes light up and he says,

" Know just the thing to surprise you, Alyssa! But you have to take this."

He comes back with a needle filled with a clear liquid. 

" No! Please, I don't want this."

" Shhhhh. Don't worry. I have to make you take it."

He slides the needle in my arm and pushes the liquid in. I feel it flow through my body and my eyelids become increasingly heavy. Darkness takes over me.
