Killer (completed)

*ali's Pov*

She walked forward slowly, taking her time. I had nowhere to run. This was it.

Suddenly, a shrill alarm broke the silence, dooming from the hidden speakers. She dropped the blade.

"Shit!" She muttered. Then she turned to me.

"Consider yourself lucky. We'll finish this later." She walked out and slammed the heavy door. The deadbolts slid into place and her footsteps trailed off.

Immediately I ran to the door. There had to be a way to get it open.

Spoiler: there wasn't.

I searched through the whole room. I found a tiny piece of machinery. The microphone. Muffled voices were coming out of it.

I held it up to my ear.

"The police are on to us. Someone reported her missing. We have to work faster." A voice said. Incomprehensible shouting followed.

Something has gone wrong. The police were on there way. I almost collapsed with relief. There was still hope.

Then I heard more voices. The bunker was unknown. They would never find us.

I slowly sank down onto the floor.

This was really it. The end. I never made up with Grace. I never got to see Stella start school. I remembered Graces favourite saying. "Dying without love is worse than watching the earth burn."

I had no clue what it means. She told me that it meant that when you love someone, everything else means nothing.

Well, now I can say first hand that it's true. Daniel Seavey is who I love.

He will never love me back. He won't be able to. And I'll never see him again.

I felt tears come into my eyes and stamped my foot in frustration.

A weird crackling sound echoed. What the hell?

Then I remembered. I pulled off my shoe and pulled off the sole. There, stuck to the bottom of my shoe...

Was a tracking chip.

I'd totally forgotten. After mum and dad went missing, I was so paranoid that I got everyone in the family a chip. Even myself.

I kissed it, then turned it over and switched it on. A green light appeared. It still works.

I heard footsteps and reassembled my shoe and shoved it on.

A man I'd never seen before came and tied my wrists. I didn't struggle. Then he took a hessian sack and unfolded it.

I smiled to myself. My friends were smart. Help was already on the way.
