Kierstien and I went up to the recording room to get ready to record a video for my channel. "Want an energy drink? I'm kind of sponsored by them." I said grabbing an energy drink for myself. "Sure!" Kierstien said as she grabbed a drink from my mini fridge. We sat in chairs next to each other with cameras on our own faces. "So what are we playing?" "#Wargames. It's a game where we shape the story as Kelly and her clan of misfits hackers transform from pranksters to international hacker celebrities, taking on the powers that be under the handle of #WarGames." "Sounds fun." "Alright you ready?" She shook her head and I turned on the cameras. "Hey what's up you guys! Welcome back to another Special Guest Saturday! So today I am here with one of my good friends Kierstien and today we are going to be playing #WarGames which is a really fun interactive game, but of course we cant play this game without a little boost of energy which is why today Kierstien and I are drinking dragon Green Tea. So let's get started!" Kierstien and I sat down and played video games for a little while before I got a phone call from an unknown number. After we finished recording I got another call from the same number. I picked up the phone and I heard a gruff voice. "Hello?" I said. "Hello Christine...miss me?" I felt my hand begin to shake. "I am the angel of music..." I dropped the phone and stepped on it. "Hey what's going on are you okay?" Kierstien said as I felt tears brim in my eyes. "He's...he's here." I say and she pulls me close to her as I sit on my bed. "Call...call...woods!" Kierstien ran over and tried to call Woods but the phones were dead. "Julia whats going on?" I felt the whole room start to spin as I sat down. "My phones dead!" Kierstien grabbed my phone and was in the middle of dialing Woods phone number and I looked up and behind her saw a masked figure. I tried to say something or even warn her but I sat there silently petrified. The figure hit her over the head with a book and she collapsed onto the floor out cold. The menancing figure smiled down at me. "Hello Christine!" Before I could say anything or try to get away I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and watched as he injected me with something. "Shhh it will all be alright now." I felt the room spin and my eyes get heavy as I passed out.
Kierstiens POV
I was woken up by Woods shaking me. I felt groggy and my head was pounding. I heard a slight ringing as all my senses felt dulled. "Kierstien! Kierstien are you okay?" I focused my eyes and saw Woods kneeling next to me. I looked around and saw Julia's phone on the floor next to me. "Kierstien!" "Huh? What happened?" "I don't know I was hoping you could tell me." Woods said as he helped me to my feet. I sat on the bed while he gave me a glass of water and called the police. I tried to process all that happened as I closed my eyes tightly and tried to remember. After the police showed up an FBI agent came and sat with me asking me questions. "Hi Kierstien my name is Agent Fuller and I've been assigned your friends case can you tell me what happened?" I take a deep breath as I try to remember everything that happened. "Julia and I came home from the barn to try and have some extra time to record a video. We got back and headed up to her room as we prepped the space for her video. We recorded for about an hour when she got the first phone call. It was from an unknown number so she didn't answer it. After another 30 minutes we finished recording and she got another call from the same number. She answered it and put it on speaker. When the person spoke up they sounded heavily out of breath and they sounded like they were whispering. He didn't call her by her name though her called her 'Christine'?" The agent looked at Woods who looked worried as he nodded at the agent. "Thank you for your help we will do our best with that information and use it to help find her." "I don't understand what's going on?" "I am no at liberty to say right now, but we will keep you all in the know as the case continues." He nods to Woods and walks off. The EMT examines my head while Woods calls Tanner, Gunner, Ashley, and Nichole. After a few minutes later they all came over. "Thanks for coming over guys." Woods said running his hands through his hair. "No problem man what's going on?" Tanner asked. Wood's took a deep breath and you could almost see him shaking. I slowly stood up even though my head was pounding and gently pulled Woods down to sit next to all of us. "Woods just start from the beginning. Okay?" he nodded and took a deep breath. "When Julia and I were little our mother died we never knew how but our father said she had been sick for a while. After her death my father lost all control. He became abusive and to protect Julia I would take the beatings day in and day out. I thought I was protecting her. I didn't know what he had done to her till it was too late. Slowly but surly I barely began to recognize my sister. Her confidence turned into fear and her beauty turned into pain. One day she couldn't take it anymore and she pulled me aside from class and told me since the age of 13 she had been whipped in her back so much that she has scars that are still healing. And since that age till about 16 he raped her. When he didn't get the satisfaction from it that he wanted he beat her. I couldn't believe all that she had told me. That day we didn't go home. We called the police and the FBI started investigating my mother's death. They found her in our backyard and realized he had killed her. She had taken all the punishment that Julia would've had. My father had also killed several other women and places them all about our property. We were too young to understand. Now because of some dumb lawyers involvement in other crimes his past cases were seen as unfitly trialed and they released the men. My father came back and took my sister. Now she's out there alone suffering some hell I can't even begin to imagine." The whole room was silent except the sound of Woods sobbing. The only people who knew this story was myself and Tanner. I looked around the room to see it start to set in with the others. Gunner looked like he was going to kill someone and Nichole looked unamused while Ashley looked heart broken. "Please guys if we find her don't tell her I told you. She never wanted anyone to know because she never wanted anyone's pity or sympathy." They all nodded. "When we find her woods, when." I said and I pulled him into a hug while I comforted him. The whole room was silent for a while until Woods calmed down. I think some were in shock and others had no idea what to say so I spoke up. "For right now the only thing we can do is wait and see if he called making demands. Like the FBI agent said. Then if he doesn't call by tomorrow then we will pass out flyers with her picture on them. The search party is getting together in two days." "I CANT WAIT TWO DAYS!" Woods yelled. "She could die!" "Woods he could've killed her when he knocked me out we have to assume he took her for some reason!" "Kierstiens right Woods the best thing we can do for her is to have hope and faith in her." Tanner said. "Faith isn't going to bring my sister back!" I walked over to Woods so i was within earshot. "Honey, you're upset and drained. The best thing you can do right now is try and get some rest. You will need a clear head and your strength for tomorrow. Okay?" He nodded and slowly walked off to bed. I looked at the rest of the group. "Whatever your guys feelings for Julia is we need to do our best to try and find her." I said looking directly at Nichole
"Why are you looking at me?!!" "Because I know you don't like her but no woman should go through this." "I didn't say she should." Nichole said defensively. "We need to be here for Woods and his sister. If we just follow the guidelines of what the agent told us then we will find her." "And what if those guidelines get her kill?" Gunner said angry. "What's going to get her killed is if we just going charging around hot headed and put more pressure on her father. Making him feel cornered will make him want to kill her quicker." "Kierstien is right. Unfortunately the only thing we can do now is wait and be here for Woods." The atmosphere of the room was thick with anger and hurt and the only thing that kept me calm was my constant praying. I could only pray we would find her soon.
Julia's POV
I woke up with a pounding headache and I tried to look around and piece together what happened. It was so dark and cold and the more I moved around the more I could hear the rattling of chains. I felt around me and I could feel the floor was solid compact dirt. I felt down to my ankles and felt chains wrapped around them. The only light I could see was the moonlight that was peering between the cracks of the wooden ceiling. I knew yelling for help wasn't going to help because if I knew anything about my father it was that we were somewhere far away from my house deep in some wooded area. When I tried to move all I felt was pain going down my back and this was the first time I had noticed my back felt wet. I slowly reached my hand back and I could feel what I knew was blood. My body suddenly felt ten times colder as I pulled my knees to my chest trying to keep some warmth to myself. I started to feel myself drift off to sleep and I knew the cold was getting to me. "HELP!!!" I yelled in a desperate last attempt. "PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!" But the only reply to my screams was my echo in the darkness. My eyelids felt heavy as I gave in and drifted off to sleep. The next thing I know I felt freezing cold water thrown on me and I woke up with a jolt. I opened my eyes and covered my face from the blinding sunlight. "Morning Christine." I heard that bone chilling voice call out. "How was your night? Anyone hear your pathetic cries for help?" He laughed and my stomach churned. "What do you want from me you monster?!?" Before I knew what happened I felt him slap me across the face. "How dare you talk to your father like that!!!" I felt tears sting my eyes but I refused to let them fall. I ball my hands into fists and that's when I realize my hands had been chained as well. "I hope you got plenty of sleep last night because you are going to need your strength for today." He laughed and went into a frenzy of punching me, slapping me, pouring cold water on me, whipping me, and raping me. I felt my body pour out blood till it looked like the ground itself was bleeding. I felt tears run down my face but at this point I couldn't tell what was tears and what was blood. After some time I felt the whole place start to spin as I blacked out. I started to feel hopeless and I knew no one was coming for me and that this could be where my final resting place will be. That was the worst pain my father could ever deal to me.
