My knight in shining armour (teen wolf) (Derek & Stella )

Ch 9

Stella's POV

Thank god this man came right on time I did not want to call my dad and tell him about the accident and Derek.
Yes this car reeked of alcohol it reminded me of what our living room used to smell like after my mom died when my dad went all.. You know..

I got in with this creepy man even though a part of me was telling me that it was a bad idea. He seemed to be in his mid 40s. I ignored the bad feeling I got and accepted his ride. what's the worst that could happen? I had to get away from Derek asap and this car ride was right there I had to take it. He obviously don't wanna take care of an annoying kid. I didn't ask him to, anyway. whatever I'm glad I got away from him. It's better for both of us.

I did enjoy my time with him though. He comforted me when I needed someone to. He gave me his shoulder when I was crying. He calmed me down when I panicked after breaking the dishes. I smiled at the memory of that. Wow a lot had happened in one day with a complete stranger. It felt like we connected the minute he asked me "what's your name kid?". Like a spark. Oh, might I add, his sharp mesmerising eyes and his captivating voice. He's just-
My day dreaming of Derek was interrupted by a scary raspy voice saying
"I'm Lucas.. You can call me Luke" he reached his hand out to shake mine.

"Stella" I told him shaking his hand, which felt so harsh and big around mine.
Nothing like Derek's soft gentle touch. Dammit Stella! Stop thinking of him he doesn't like young brats! You annoy him! He has a life. He hasn't got time to take care of a clumsy skinny stupid girl!
"Well Stella where are you heading to?" He said. I swear his scary voice gives me goosebumps.

"Umm.. Kingston university sir. If it's not on your way you can drop me off at--"
"It is on my way. You're a polite kid. I like that" he smiled. Even his smile is creepy. what have I gotten myself into!

Well he might not be as bad as you think Stella. Don't think of the worst-case-scenario. Stay optimistic!

The ride was quiet other than the loud horrible music filling the car. I was too afraid to ask him to lower the volume. He drove off the main road heading to a bumpy trail between the thick trees in the woods.
"Where are we going?" I asked him trying to sound not-so-frightened as much as possible.

"A shortcut. I hate long rides, don't you?" Part of me was like bullshit! Ok stay calm Stella. If anything happens you can just run you're way faster than this old creep.

I glanced over my phone to see the time. It was around 2 pm. We drove for about 1 hour I guess.
"Nice phone. I was meaning to get one like that for myself" he said.
"yea.. thanks" I replied.
"May I see it?" He said. Already reaching his hand for me to give it to him.
"Umm.. su-sure" I hesitated but handed it to him.
He grabbed it and tossed it out of his open window. Oh no..

"You wouldn't be needing that" he smirked.
My heart started beating so fast. Now I realise I shouldn't have accepted this ride! Oh god I hope he's not a murderer.

"Umm you know what..I just remembered, There's something I needed to do. If you could just drop me here.." I tried to stay calm and not panic.
He didn't reply. He just pressed something on his door and I heard a clicking sound. He locked the doors.. shit shit shit !!
We were going further and further into the woods.
"Where are you taking me..? What do you want from me..?" I said. My voice whimpering giving up to fear.
"You're a smart kid. You'll figure it out" he said with that scary smile.

He turned the radio off. And started humming. I suddenly feel like I'm in a horror movie.. I started shivering slightly from fear. My throat started to burn with every breath I took.
I kept searching for houses, people, anything that might help me. Anything I can run to once we get out of the car. But nothing.. All I saw was trees, trees, and more trees. The car slowed down to stop in front of a small cabin, a very small, dark, horrifying cabin in the middle of the woods.

"Well, home sweet home" his raspy frightening voice sent goosebumps all over my frail body.
He unlocked the car doors, got off slamming the door behind him and rushed to my side. I opened my door to escape. I jumped off and was just about to run but he caught me after just one step. He wrapped his long arms around my stomach with a strong grip.

"HELP! SOMEBODY! HELP" I yelled as loud as I could.
"yell as much as you want pretty girl. Nobody will ever hear you from here" he whispered to my ear. I felt his hot breath on my cheek. He reeked of alcohol. He disgusted me. He dragged me into the cabin. I whimpered as a huge lump started to form in my throat.. My eyes got all tearful..
"P-please- pl-please don't hu-hurt m-me" I begged. Oh god help me! What have I gotten myself into..! Never in a million years have I thought that I'd ever be in this situation.

The cabin was empty inside. The whole cabin consisted of one room. Wrecked wooden floors, one broken narrow window, one black metal chair with some ropes and black tape next to it in the middle, and a high roof with one lit light bulb hanging.
He pushed me towards the chair and I stumbled falling down. He grabbed me by my hair and lifted me up. I screamed in pain. He sat me on the not-so-comfy chair. Tied my hands behind the back of the chair. And then started tying each of my legs to the chair legs.
"No- please..sir..please..let..m-me..g-go.." My voice cracking as few tears managed to escape my eyes.
He looked at me with his vicious scary eyes. "You shouldn't accept rides with strangers. Didn't they teach you that in school? Ohhh *laughing* especially not this stranger" he pointed at himself amused.
"Pl-please I'll give you anything you want.. You want money? Just let-let m-me g-go pl-" he sealed my mouth shut with the black tape. I tried to yell but my voice was all muffled.

Thats it.. I'm gonna die..

He left the cabin. He left me tied up inside. I heard his car engine. He drove off. I tried to break free. But I failed with every attempt. Probably an hour have passed. The wind was picking up. I could tell from sound of tree branches hitting the narrow window. There was barely any sunlight due to heavy clouds and rain. It's almost dark now outside. The cabin is very cold now. I can't begin to describe how cold I am right now. My whole body is shivering. I've never been so scared in my life. The feeling of anticipating something horrible is taking over me. And I am beyond scared. I feel like my eyelids are so heavy. I'm fighting to keep them open. No no I can't pass out .. Stay awake Stella!

...

His loud car engine awoke me. Made my eyes shot wide open. I guess I fell asleep or I passed out. I don't even know how long was I out. This isn't a dream, he's back. He's going to torture me to death.
I heard him humming as he was coming closer approaching the dark cabin. One light bulb provided very little light. It seems to be pitch black outside !
I suddenly heard a loud roar.. Roar? Yes roar! But I don't recall lions living in our state! It's gotta be a bear! The roar was so loud, so close. It freaked the hell out of me. I'm gonna be eaten by a freaking bear, probably my kidnapper too. Why is this happening to me? I started hyperventilating.

"Holy shit!" I heard Luke yelling.
"N-no -no please-" he's begging a bear?

My heart beats are racing my breathing got faster. I'm gonna have a panic attack! No no this isn't the time .. I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down.. I heard several sounds. Footsteps, Luke's screams, roars.

Then everything went silence. Completely and utterly silent.
