Sought and Snatched

Chapter 10 Pt. 2

Josephine's P.O.V.

When he approached me. I kicked the tray out of his hand. I noticed he moved to his pocket but before he could grab anything I used my other leg and knocked him beside the head hard.

I tossed myself aside so that my chair fell and I was on my side. I used the metal chair to hit again on the side of the head.

I scooted over to him. He was unconscious but not dead. Good. Luckily I had knocked whatever he was grabbed out of his pocket.

A small pocket knife.

Using my fingertips, I slowly began to cut the rope. It had already begun to make my skin raw and ugly pink. It had cut into what used to be soft skin.

It felt like forever and I almost believed I wouldn't be able to free my hands but eventually, I did. My hands were shaking but I quickly use the knife to cut my torso and legs free. I hoped to my feet and was introduced to a fresh sense of pain in my butt and my leg.

I cursed under my breath and tried to ignore it. I grabbed the keys from the boy's pants and ran out of the cell. Even though he left the door open hopefully the keys opened any other doors.

I raced down the long black corridor. Heart thumping. I just kept turning corners until I found an exit or a door or anything. Then suddenly there was a flash of light.

A huge siren started wailing. The sound was so loud yet so delicate that it pierced through my ears and split my skull.

I stopped running for a moment and cried out. I rocked back and forth. Hoping that the alarm would soon stop. Then there was silence.

I was back on my feet and searched for a sign of anything. Loud footsteps filled the hall and I feared someone had found me.

There was nowhere I could go. I was trapped. My leg was throbbing and I wasn't even running anymore. I was practically wobbling my way around.

The sound of pounding footsteps increased. My heart rate went up.

They had finally reached me.

I was too afraid to turn around. It didn't matter because rough hands grabbed my shoulders and faced me towards them.

The person that had grabbed me was Jack Julian. I fumed. I was expecting a smile on his face but a sinister frown crawled onto his bearded jaw. His eyes reveal resentment and angry. "Damn it, Josie!"

I recoiled at the mention of my nickname.

"This was just too easy for you huh?! Do you want to get yourself killed?"

I stared at him blankly.

"Why can't you just cooperate?"

"You kidnapped me, threatened me, then cut me with a knife and you just thought I would cooperate nicely?"

His face softened and his eyebrows furrowed together. "For a girl that is so smart, you are acting really dumb."

I stomped on his foot in reply even though the action shot pain up my leg. He didn't even flinch.

Jack grabbed my arm and was leading me somewhere. I tried to act as dead weight so it would be harder for him but it caused him no struggle.

"You need to be punished. Josephine, you have no discipline no respect-"

"Are you kidding me? Do you think that I would give respect to you? Do you know what you did? You killed my best friend. In front of me."

He loosened his grip on me. "You know that wasn't me."

"But you were the one that sent them to get me!"

"It's not my fault she got in the way!"

"You're talking about her as if she were an object. But She was a human being! My best friend! The only thing I had left!"

I was choking on my words now. Warm snot was coming out of my nose. But I held my head up and stared at him. "Just let me go."

"I can't do that Josephine. She'd kill me."

Who?

Then before I could reply we reached a huge metal door. He punched in some code then threw me in the room and closed the door. I raced against the door and pounded my fist against the cold metal.

"Let me out! Let me out!" I sunk down to the floor and covered my head in my hands. Then I screamed.

Even though my throat was burning and it felt as if knives were sliced through my lungs, even though I knew no one could hear me, I screamed and screamed.

Here's chapter 10!! I had a lot of fun writing it! I hope anyone that is reading this enjoys it and has a wonderful day! :)
