Elena pov
The room is dark except for a light at the furthest end of the room. A small lamp is lit in the window behind some dark heavy curtains, and I try to adjust my eyes to the darkness.
My head is pounding hard and I have to take my hands up to my head and just hold it, whatever I have been drugged with I'm defenseless this way. My stomach hurts but I try to stand up from the hard floor I'm laying on.
Looking down at my body, I'm only wearing my pants and a sweater. My shoes and jacket are gone with my handbag.
I have no idea for how long I have been laying on the hard floor with the amount of pain I feel in my hip and back.
Fear courses through my body when it hit me I've been kidnapped!
Using the wall for support to get up from the floor I manage to stand up, the room is moving in front of my eyes and I have to close them and just try to breathe. I'm dizzy from what they have been giving me.
I hear footsteps outside the room and slowly try to move my head to where the sound is coming from.
I see a door on the opposite wall and light is coming under the door.
Trying to remember the last thing I know happened and where I could possibly be!
I don't recognize the room and the last thing I remember is when I was walking on the way to the supermarket. I needed some groceries for dinner and when I stepped outside it was raining.
Remember I turned back inside and fetch an umbrella before walking out of the door and closing it after me. I love to walk to the supermarket even if it rains and today wasn't an exception.
Our driver was at home and I could have taken the car but on my days I haven't much time left from all the shores I need to have done before everyone else comes home.
This is my chance to get a walk and some fresh air. Loving every minute of it I'm happily walking down the sidewalk.
Rain is pouring down my umbrella and I hold it closer down my head while I keep my eyes on the pavement in front of me.
The walk doesn't take longer than twenty minutes before I reach the store. Closing my umbrella I walk inside and start to gather the things I need.
Remember I accidentally bumped into a big bulky guy when I took a step backward from the shelf without looking if someone was behind. I excused myself but he just mumbled something and averted his eyes. I never got a real look at him before he walked away, leaving me standing and looking at his back with a frown on my face. I've got an odd feeling about him!
I shook it off and continued gathering the things I needed. Taking my time before I'm done and head over to pay for them, I'm alone when I reach the cashier and we chatt for a couple of minutes. I meet the old man a lot when I'm usually here shopping and he is very nice.
Our conversations often include good food suggestions and the weather. The same as today!
I have been going to this store alone since I was eleven and now I have just turned nineteen. All these years and he feels like an old friend to me! It's nice to meet him and chatting a few minutes. Sometimes it's the only social conversation I get during the day.
When I have paid and packed my stuff in my bag I say goodbye and head out in the rain again. Looking around before I take up my umbrella I don't see anyone close by.
Stepping out in the rain I start my walk back home, lost in my own thoughts I don't notice when I walk right into someone. The bag slipped from my hold and falls to the pavement, my groceries scatter out from the bag.
I just say sorry without looking at who I ran into before I drop to the ground and start gathering my things again.
Remember I was occupied with picking up my food and I didn't notice until it was too late before someone covered my mouth and nose with a cloth drenched in something that makes my head spin violently. I try to fight the person of me but I'm being forcefully held in place by a couple of big arms. Right before I pass out I feel like I'm being lifted off the ground.
That's all I remember before I woke up here!
I didn't get to see the person behind it nor did I hear him talk. It was a man I'm sure of it with the size of his arms.
I lean at the wall and try to calm my raising heart down. I don't have any enemies that I know of and why would anyone ever want to kidnap me? I'm nobody!
My head starts to hurt and I feel tears threaten to spill over any minute now. Would they even notice I'm gone? And do they care that much to come and look for me?
I feel defeated when I hear several heavy footsteps walk closer to my door. Panic curse through my body and I try to look around for any place to take shelter behind or something to defend myself with but all that's in this room is a bed and a chair beside it. Nothing else!
I don't have my strength back yet to try and defend myself with the chair, don't know if it could even be a weapon with the number of heavy feets I hear on the other side of the wall.
They stop right outside of the door and I hear someone fiddle with some keys before placing them in the door and unlocking it.
My heart is about to beat out of my chest and it starts to ring in my ears from me panicking. It feels like it takes forever, and I'm going to die from a heart attack before the door is slowly opened. I don't see anything else at first but some lights coming inside the room, then a tall and dark person appears in the doorway. I don't see his face in the darkness but I feel his cold aura even from where I stand. My legs are about to go out under me when I see him take long strides toward where I stand!
Elena povI'm pressing my body as close I can to the wall and trying to make it as small as possible. Whoever he is there isn't anything good about him that I'm sure off.For every step, he takes closer to me my heart takes an extra beat. Fear courses through my whole body and if he is here to kill me I just hope he will do it fast!He is quickly right in front of me and his big hand wraps around my neck when he forcefully holds me hard against the wall. A cold chill runs through my body from his touch and I'm frightened to my core!I don't dare to look at him and just close my eyes in the darkness. I feel him slowly trace his nose down my neck and a shiver runs down my spine, my legs start to shake and I just try to keep breathing.I'm certain this is it!He is here to finish me off when I hear him take a large inhale on my shoulder."P.. Please!" I squeeze out and my tears start to fall down my cheeks. I don't want to die like this! He stops sniffing at my shoulder when he holds tig
Elena povA man is standing in the doorway with a big cloak over him. Cover his whole face and I can't see how he looks. He stands there for a second before he takes fast steps over to where I am. I try to push back against the wall while I hold the curtain around me tight."Get dressed quickly!" He says and holds some clothes out in front of me. I just look between him and the clothes but don't dare to move.He takes a step closer and grabs my hand and places the clothes in it."Hurry if you want to escape this place," he says and turns his back against me, and head over to the door. He stands there and looks into the hallway.I don't trust him but I'm ready to take my chance, everything else than staying here has to be better!Looking at the clothes in my hand I quickly pull the pants and shirt on. Don't have time to look if I got them on properly when he walks back and hands me a pair of sneakers. They look a bit big but will do just fine!I pull them on and make sure to tie them h
Elena povI'm bolting through bushes and small trees trying to run as fast as I can while I make my way through the forest. I don't hear anyone behind me but don't dare to stop and look around.My lungs are burning and I feel how my legs begin to get tired. I'm starting to have a hard time making sure I don't trip and fall over something. That could be the end of me!I hardly get to think I might have made it when I hear a furious roar again, and this time it's closer than before!The roar scares the life out of me.A shiver runs down my spine and I miss where I place my feet and trip on a root and fall with my face first to the ground.I just manage to get my arms up and protect my face when my body hits the ground. Pain instantly shoots up my ankle and I have to bite myself on the lip to prevent myself from whimpering out.Trying to get up I hear a low snarl behind me and turn around while I'm sitting on the ground.The wolf is standing just behind me with his teeth on display.I do
Elena povIt's pitch black all around me in the room, I hear another heavy breathing and I know I'm not alone in here.My breath hitches in my body when I see his yellow frightening eyes on the other side of the room!My heart beats hard in my chest and I feel my pulse in my ears when he slowly starts to move forward toward me. I try to move my hands and feets but I'm tied to the bed and can't move. My arms are over my head and I try to pull them down with all strength I got, but they won't budge.My legs are tied far apart and I already know the purpose of this.A chill runs over my skin and I know without seeing that I'm all naked. His yellow scary eyes almost glow in the dark when he comes closer with every step he takes.Fear takes over in my body for what punishment worse than death he will execute on me. Tears start to run down my cheeks and I can't hold in a cry!"Ma'am"He is almost right in front of the end of the bed and I can't stop my pleading even if he said I wasn't allo
Elena povI keep bolting through alleys and between houses on my run. My lungs start to hurt really bad when I come to a dark alley and just have to get some rest.hiding inside I take cover behind a dumpster and try to listen if anyone follows behind me.I'm shaking in fear and I know it's probably stupid to be this scared for nothing!I have no idea who I accidentally bumped into on my way out from the station and the man who barked out stop was most definitely not shouting at me. Right now I let my scare take away all my rational thoughts.Tears are running down my cheeks and I cover my face with my hands and let them fall. Feeling sad about how my life has turned out to be! A shitshow!Always on the run and nowhere I can breathe and feel safe.Will this be the rest of my life?I sit there for what feels like ages and probably two hours later, just breathing and trying to find some will to keep fighting for my life.Slowly rising up from the ground I brush off some dirt and listen
Elena povThe sound is coming from my right and I peek behind the bushes I'm hiding behind, ready to run if I have to.Turning my head I look for the easiest way to escape from here and where it could be a safe place to hide.I often try to avoid running right into gardens and between houses but it has happened that I need to escape through them.It has happened more than once that I have been forced to run for my life with men chasing me. A couple of times I believe they were going to rob me and one other time two men sneaked up on me while I was sleeping on a bench. I didn't notice them before it was too late and they jumped me.One was holding my hands over my head to the bench when the other started to try and get my pants down.I was scared to my core and it was obvious what they had in mind to do. There was no point in trying to beg!I have already learned that lesson and I don't know where I got the courage from to start screaming and when the one holding my hands covered my mo
Elena povIt takes a moment before Claire answers them."We live two blocks away from here! I'm Claire and this is my granddaughter!" She says and I wait for them to question more."Take down the hood!" One of them barks out and I have no problem taking it down. I try to keep my hand steady when I pull my hood down. Keeping my eyes on the ground when I hear one of them walk over and stand right in front of me. Trying to keep my heart and breath steady."Look at me!" He says and I have to look up at him, don't want to draw any problem my way. Just do what he tells me. When my eyes travel up his body I see he is big and bulky with a scar on his cheek and down his neck. Slowly rise my eyes up I come to stare right into a pair of gray angry eyes. A shiver runs down my spine and I know the man in front of me is no one you mess with. I don't have to guess, I already know he is one of the Mafia bosses men."I haven't seen you around before! Are you new here?" He barks at me and I know there
Elena povWaking up the next morning to the smell of breakfast and coffee I rub my eyes to wake up before I sit up on the couch.Trying to figure out what the clock could be right now when my eyes land on Claire who is stirring in the pot on the stove. I guess she feels my eyes on her back because she turns around and get eye contact with me."Good morning! Sorry if I woke you up, but I will have to leave soon" she says and I get up on my feet and start folding the blanket and place it on the pillow before taking my bag."I just need to use the bathroom!" I say and she gives me a nod when I take my bag and start to head over to her bathroom."I placed a towel for you on the sink in the bathroom if you want to take a shower there is time before breakfast is ready!" She says and I have a hard time understanding why she is this kind to me! A shower would feel nice tho."Thank you!" I say and head over to her bathroom. Coming inside I see she has placed a towel on her sink and a bottle of
