Chasing Love

Chapter 36

~Day 2~

Lori's POV

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. I sat up slowly wincing at the pain.

"Well look who woke up. Want some breakfast? Well too bad you can't have any." Mark said laughing. He untied my hands.

"Don't make me regret this." he said walking back out of the basement.

I sighed in relief as I massage my wrists. I reach into my pocket and take out a packet of cookies. I ate them all putting the trash back in my pocket.

"Hey, so appearently I'm supposed to keep you hydrated so here. Happy Halloween." Mark said throwing me a water bottle. I caught it opening the cap and drinking a little bit. I don't know when I'll get another bottle so I'll just save what I have.

"Say cheese." I looked up and felt him smack my already inflated face. He took a picture of me on his phone.

"Calum will love this photo." he said smirking.

"Leave them all alone. I'm already here aren't i?" I said sassily.

"I said I wouldn't hurt them if you came. You came so I'm not hurting them. And don't sass me, if I were you I would keep my mouth shut." he said

"Well good thing you aren't me." My response shocked Mark and me. A sudden boost of confidence took over.

"You're lucky I haven't killed you yet." he said getting near me taking a pocket knife out.

He kneeled down making eye contact. Eww. He ugly and old.

"How old are you forty or fifty?" I asked.

"None." he said running the blade up and down my arm.

"Now any more questions you would like to ask?" he asked putting the blade on my throat.

"Who are you working for?" I asked. He pressed the back of the blade towards my neck a little hard.

"A good friend of mine." he said removing the pocket knife and putting it away.

"So you are going to be here a long time. I'll tell you the schedule. When you wake up, I will make sure to either take a video or picture of you. You'll get a daily beating and after the beating you will knock out or shall I say I'll knock you out until the next day. That's pretty much it." he said.

I just sat there glaring at him.

"I'll be gone most of the day so you'll get your beating at night. I have cameras here so don't do anything stupid." He said leaving the basement.

Calum's POV

No one has said much. There isn't anything to speak about.

Lorena was always the bossy and loud one. Now, it's all quiet. No one really does much either. We just and think. Kevin noticed her absence and starts to cry every hour or so. He even said his second word which was mama.

That seemed to trigger something because Niall cried. I cried. Pretty much everyone cried. Everyone is tired. Our eyes are red.

Tracy burst into the living room.

"He sent a message." We all got quickly surrounding her.

"Well what's it say?" Louis asked.

"I don't think you should see this." She said looking at me.

"Why not?" Niall asked. Tracy showed him whatever was on phone and he gasped. Everyone else took a look pushing me away. They all gasped whispering.
