Stop Crying and Smile (Isaac Foster x Reader)

Chapter 2

(( A/N: It just now occurred to me that Danny's full name is Daniel. They are in no way related and I feel like an idiot now- ))

Daniel smiled as he lead me down the sidewalk, which became less and less crowded as we went.
It was beginning to grow dark.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a bit worried.

After a while, my mind began to wander.
I thought about Seila, and how she'd react when I got home.

" Do you have any idea how late it is? " She'd scold. " You could've been abducted! "

I chuckled at the thought. She worried about me so much more than I ever did.

"We're here." Daniel spoke, his voice suddenly growing deeper and colder. It sent shivers down my spine.
Before I could say anything, he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a dark alley.

I opened my mouth to scream, but was quickly silenced by an overwhelming sense of pain in my chest.

. . .Am I dying?

Looking down, I saw that Daniel had plunged a knife into my chest, slicing it open and dragging it quickly from the top left to the bottom right. Red liquid flowed out of the injury, causing me to cry out in pain.

He then grabbed my face, a sly smirk plastered on his own.
"You know, you're not as ugly as I thought you'd be. It's a shame I have to do this~" He said, a sweet tone hidden in his words.
I glared up at him, grabbing at the wound in a futile attempt to ease the pain.
"You know. . . I don't think this is enough of a punishment."
He said to himself, gripping the knife tightly.

My face changed from one of hatred to fear in half a second.

Is he going to kill me. . .?

Without another word, he took the blade and sliced.
I had no idea where it landed until I felt a searing pain directly under my eye before it slowly dragged down to my lips.
Blood trickled from it as well. I could only imagine what I looked like.

Despite the horrible pain I was feeling, I struck him in the face with my fist, catching him off guard.
He stumbled back, allowing me to escape.
I panicked, looking from left to right.

Which way was I going?
What'll happen if I lead him to my house?
Will he hurt Seila?
Should I get help?

All of those questions were promptly shoved to the back of my mind when I heard heavy footsteps behind me.
I was almost able to escape before his hand caught my wrist, sending me back towards him.

Something inside of me just snapped under this pressure.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" I screamed, pulling away from him as hard as possible and jumping up. I hesitated for only a second before ramming into his stomach with every ounce of strength in my body.

He was on the ground, groaning and cursing to himself.
I smiled to myself before turning and running in the first direction I saw.
That happened to be the woods, as we were on the edge of town.
My eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"I have to find some-" I started to mutter before yelling out as my injuries began to burn from the sudden movement.

I dropped to the grass, only to look up and see a man.

He was different. Much older than Daniel. He had a cold, serious air around him.
Staring down at me, he spoke. "It looks as though you've found yourself in an unfavorable situation, Adrianne Lawson."
My eyes widened as I heard my name come from the man.

How did he know my name?

Before I could say anything, my vision began to cloud with a deep purple. A sweet, almost hypnotizing smell took over my senses.

No matter how hard I fought to stay awake, I ultimately failed, my eyes closing as I drifted off into a deep sleep. . .

(( Hello everyone! I'm so sorry for the long wait. I want to thank you all for being so patient, I swear there will be more chapters to come later on this week and the next! Until then, xoxo! -Andi ))
