The Disappearance of Madison Grace

•Chapter 4•

I was hurting and scared. Shane is eventually going to kill me. Last nights punishment was horrible he did things to me that I never knew a human being would do.

At this point I was sure he was hell bent on killing me. He left me laying in the cold floor with nothing but my bra and panties. I need to try to earn his trust and maybe he will let me go. Or not. He might just kill me soon.

My mom and dad probably have the police already looking for me so I have to survive the next few days, weeks, years. No, I won't be here this long. I won't.

The basement door opens and Shane comes walking in with clothes. He doesn't even look at me he just throws them and leaves. It's normally like this. I stay here until he needs me to clean his house or if I'm getting punished.

Shane trudges down the steps and hands me my plate of food and then leaves. He hasn't starved me yet and that I'm grateful for. He probably will soon since he hasn't exactly been the nicest person.

I haven't showered in days and I feel so dirty. I wish he'd let me shower even if it was for a few minutes anything would be helpful. He hasn't asked if I wanted to so I won't bring it up.

The door opens a little and the bright light shines down into the dark, cold basement. " Madison come here." Shane calls.

I suck in a sharp breathe. I hope it's not what happened two days ago. When I got upstairs it was only him. I sighed in relief.

Shane heads to the fridge and is about to hand me something when a knock comes at the door. He glances at me and shuts the fridge and grabs the gun from under the sofa.

He puts it behind him in his pants he tells me to go to the bathroom and don't come out until he says. I do as I'm told not wanting to be punished.

I hear the door open and I hear them talking. Then I hear my name and I gasp. They're here for me. Omg! I knew it. " I'm in here!! Help me!"

I hear a gunshot and gasp. Soon the door flies open and Shane grabs my hair. " WHY DID YOU DO THAT? You fucking bitch! I told you to be quite." He slings me on the ground.

I look up and the cop is laying on the floor a pile of blood around him. I scream and hurry up and end up falling over something on the floor. Shane laughs. " that wouldn't have been necessary if you would have just kept your mouth shut. You caused me to kill him."

I look at him all teary eyed. " I didn't do this. YOU FUCKING KILLED HIM!"

Shane chuckles and puts the gun up. He drags the cop outside and does god knows what with him. I smell something burning and assuming he's gonna burn the body and the car.

Shane comes back in and looks down at me.  " you're going back to the basement."

He grabs my arm and leads me to the basement he shuts the door once I'm in. I set on the steps and cry. Shane blamed me for the cops death knowing good and well he purposely did it.

I really miss my parents especially my mom. I miss my dad but not as much as my mom. My parents always gave me what I wanted. A lot of kids always asked how I got my red mustang and I would tell them I bought it, when I worked at Kits Kitchen.

None of the kids believed me they always said it's ' mommy and daddy money'.  I guess in some ways they weren't wrong. My parents offered to buy me a car and well my first car was a Jeep but it tore up.

My only friend was Zoey. Zoey never picked on me in fact she stood up for me just like Cole. The thought of them just makes me want to cry. I miss them just as well as my parents. I wanted to see them. By now they have to be sending some kind of help. I never missed school not once.

The front door flies open and I hear loud high pitched screams. I suddenly freak out and put my hands over my mouth. The screaming stops after awhile and Shane comes down the steps with blood all over him.

He looks at me and then continues doing what he is doing. " Madison."

I look up and he's staring down at me. " yes?"

He bends down and runs his hand through my hair. " I would never hurt you. You have to understand that."

I shake my head and cry. " you killed that cop and that girl. Who's next? Me?"

Shane gets up and sighs running his hands through his hair. " The cop was going to take you away from me. The girl well she wanted to die."

I scoff. " you're lying! The cop was trying to save me from you. The girl.... the girl was probably scared and you got mad."

Shane laughs. " Madison I suggest you keep your mouth shut, got it?"

I shake my head. " I'm going to enjoy the day you go to jail. I hope you rot in hell!!"

He laughs and shakes his head. " baby I'll never get caught don't you understand?"

I shake my head.

He stands up. " we are in the middle of nowhere. That's why I blind folded you so you wouldn't know where I was taking you."

I let the tears run down my face. He's a monster! He's never going to let me go. I need to find a way out of here. I will find a way out but for now I have to be stuck with him.

" why are you doing this? What do you want?" I plead.

His lips curve into a smile. " How do you feel about that new cotton candy drink? It's good isn't it?"

He laughs.

" what is wrong with you!" I scream.

He chuckles. " I am perfectly fine. But you I don't know. I think you're crazy?"

I scoff and laugh. " me? I don't fucking kidnap girls and rape them," I stand up. " I don't murder people and burn the evidence. I'm not a monster!"

He no longer has a smile on his face instead he looks hurt. " Mads, you don't know why I do what I do."

I feel a sting of pain when he calls me Mads. That was my nickname that Cole gave me. I feel a tear coming but I hold it back.

He looks away from me and hovers over the sink in the far left corner of the basement. I watch him curiously and he turns really quick and runs up the stairs. Huh weird?

I look around the room. There's barely any weapons down here so I can't hit him. I'm not strong enough to beat him up. I go to open a black box and it's him and pictures of two people. I'm assuming it's his family.

There's little clippings of letters he wrote to his parents I'm guessing for mother's and Father's Day. He doesn't have any brothers or sisters that I know of.

I pull out a certain piece of paper and it gets knocked out of my hand. I look up and Shane is standing there. " what are you doing?"

Get on his good side. Get on his good side. " I- I was just curious about y-you."

He looks at me and then picks the picture up. " this girl." He points to a short blond haired little girl. " she was my sister, and well she died in a car accident that my parents caused."

" what happened to your parents?" I ask.

He shakes his head. " I got mad because I missed my sister.. and I killed them."

My heart drops. He killed his parents. Omg he is a monster. He killed his own parents! He's a fucking insane. Not realizing I had said that out loud Shane slaps me across the face.

" I am not insane." He states.

He grabs a chair and pushes me into it and ties my hands up. " what are you doing?"

Shane grabs a key chain with an 'S' on it and goes to the back room. He comes back out and he S is red hot. He has gloves on and he gives me a crooked smile. " I have to brand you. So everyone knows you're mine."

My eye go wide. " No. No you aren't doing that! Nooooo!!!!"
