Captured (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty-One

Liam's POV

I hear Hailee's rushed footsteps exit the room and I hear them slowly get softer as she speed walks farther down the hallway. Every part of my body hurts like hell. The doctor said I'm a little beaten up, but that's definitely an understatement.

"Excuse me? Um, can I get a nurse to give my boyfriend some meds? He's in a lot of pain." I hear Hailee softly ask. I smile slightly at her kindness and I close my eyes.

A few seconds later, I hear footsteps walking into my room. One pair seems heavy and solid, like stomping, and the other is very light. I open my eyes and find two bodies over my bed. Neither one of them are Hailee.

A woman and a man. The woman has scrubs on and the guy has a leather jacket on. The guy looks all too familiar, so familiar that it's creeping me out. They seem to be mumbling to each other but I can't quite figure out what they're saying, and it's beginning to drive me mad.

"Who are you?!" I shout. They act like they don't hear me. "What are you doing in here?!" I shout even louder. They both look down at me annoyed, but look back at each other quickly.

"We need to scare her." I hear the man say. Scare who?! Hailee?! Oh my god, if it's Hailee...

"I might have an idea." The woman says. "We could set the heart monitor to flat line after a certain amount of minutes. We inject a medication into his body that puts him under a coma kind of so he can't wake up till it wears off, which will be in a few hours. That will surely scare her to death."

"Perfect." The man responds. "How fast can you get the medication?" He asks, impatiently.

"Five minutes max." She says and holds up five fingers. The man nods and she quickly leaves the room. He turns to face me and goosebumps rise on the back of my neck.

"Listen here." He says and leans in very close. So close that I can feel his ragged breath right in my face. "When Vanessa gets back in here, you're going to keep your mouth shut. You're going to cooperate with me or your girl gets hurt." Automatically, I throw my fist at his face, connecting with his jaw.

"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN TO HURT HER LIKE THAT TO ME?! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" I shout as he staggers backward and pulls a small knife from his back pocket. I tense up as he presses the knife against the skin below my temple. My heart is racing and I don't want him to move or myself. If I do, the sharpened point of this knife is going straight through my skull. Realization hits me as those dark green orbs stare right into me. Adam!

"You... You... " I stutter. Adam covers my mouth with his hand.

"One more word... And I'll shove it straight through your skull." He spits and I grunt in response.

I see the nurse come in and she holds up a syringe with an orange liquid. They're going to inject that in me?!?

She walks over to the other side of my bed where the heart monitor is and I force my mouth to stay shut. I don't want this to happen. Hailee doesn't deserve this!

"Alright, I'll get the other nurses. It should start progressing down in a few minutes. Are you going to be in the room or...?" Vanessa trails off and I look at Adam as he looks down at me. He gives her the syringe with a gentle shove to her chest and quickly walks out of the room.

Here's my time to speak up. "Please don't do this. To her or me." I say, lowly. She pretends that she didn't hear me, but I know damn well that she did. She pushes the bottom of the syringe up so it squirts a little then flicks the needle. She's stalling.

"I know you heard me." I say sternly and that finally gets her attention. She walks closer to my bed so that she's leaning right over me. She grabs my arm and shoves the needle into my skin. I groan in pain and I feel the burn of the liquid going through my veins as she pushes the plunger on the syringe.

She drops the empty syringe into a trash bin across the room. She dusts her hands on her scrubs and walks over to my heart monitor to make sure everything is good to go for their little "plan" to scare my innocent girl. They're going to pay for this.

Whatever they injected in me is now starting to kick in. My eyes feel like they are being weighed down by bricks and my breathing is shallow. I try my best to stay away but it just isn't working. My eyes finally shut as I hear a bunch of people enter my room.

"Places everyone!" I hear Vanessa shout. I try to force my eyes open but they're glued shut. I can hear everything around me but can't see anything. That's when I hear her voice.

"What happened?! What's going on!?" She screams and I hear her grunt like she's trying to move somebody or something with her small body. "Somebody talk to me! Tell me what's going on!!" Her voice breaks and I want to scream her name. I want to warn her to get out of here and go far away. Far away from him.

"Liam! Baby! Wake up! Please!" She begs as she sobs. She shakes my shoulders and I limply I'm her arms. Her sobs get harder.

As one of their plays in this "plan", Vanessa shouts, "He's dying!" Another shouts, "We gotta get him to the doctor, STAT!" I feel my bed begin to roll and Hailee squeezes my hand tightly. I feel a slight tug on my arm like she's being pushed back and that's when she lets go, leaving my hand hanging over the edge of the bed.

"Wait! Slow down!" She screams and I hear her frantically ask somebody where they are taking me. Then I hear her screaming something and as we turn the corner, she screams. A blood-curdling scream that will forever haunt my dreams. A scream that tells me he has her again.

Hailee's POV

Liam's dead. Liam's dead. Liam's dead. My mind can't process the fact that he is, or is very close to being that way.

He was laying there, limp in my arms. Why couldn't it have been me? I begin to cry silently in the backseat of the car.

"Stop crying." Adam says, glaring at me in the rear view mirror. I narrow my eyes at him. "I suggest you knock off the attitude." He says, sternly.

"Make me, father." I challenge and he veers off of the road, onto the shoulder. He throws his door open and slams it, his chest rising and falling quickly. Maybe I pushed too far?

He walks around the back of the car and I take the chance to kick the door opposite of the side he's coming from as hard as I can. It opens and I scoot frantically out of the car. Adam grabs my hands and I struggle to free from his grip. The tight grip of the tape and his hands tightly around the tape isn't helping at all. My skin stings from the combination of both on my wrists.

"When are you ever going to learn that you will never be able to get away from me, Hailee?!" He shouts and pulls me back through the backseat and out the other side of the car. He shoves me against the car, hard. My head smacks against the side of the car and I whimper in pain. God that hurt.

"Are you done yet?!" He spits in my face as he shouts. I turn my head away from his in an attempt to loosen his grip. Only he does the opposite, snapping my head back to face him. I can feel my chin bruising and I wince in pain. He grabs my body and shoves me back into the backseat of the car. My body glides against the leather seats and I bang into the door.

Adam quickly walks, fury raging through him, to the driver's seat and I am suddenly terrified that he's taking me out here to kill me.

He slams his door shut and shoves the car into drive, taking off down the highway.

"Your consequences are going to be so much worse now." Adam says under his breath as he turns down a dirt road that is lined with trees. He's going to kill me.
