The Captive: Chapter One
A/N: Okay, I've had this idea in my head for a long time now, and well…it was about time I put it on here. ;P To those that are reading my other fics, don't worry I haven't forgotten about them, it's just with college I don't have time for anything anymore. But I will update them, I will, I will … :P

It was pouring outside. Dark clouds had gathered overhead, and thunder crackled in the distance. Lightening flashed, illuminating the young girl standing in the middle of the road, soaking wet. She had no umbrella, and was completely drenched head to toe. Her long, once lavish black hair now hung in wet clumps around her forhead. But the girl seemed to take no notice of this, and the worried expression on her face indicated that she had much, much more to worry about than being drenched in the rain.
Cars passed by, no one bothering to stop. The girl bit her lip. She knew she didn't have much time, that the worst had probably already happened back at home. She was probably too late already, and she had to get out of here before she was seen. How she wished she had remembered to grab the phone before she ran outside!
She heard footsteps in the distance. Terrified, she ran, certain that she knew who was following her. She had to get away from here. Now. If only someone would stop their car!
She didn't dare try to scream for help. If she did, whoever was behind her would certainly find out where she was. No, all she could do was pray that someone would stop their car. Her legs hurt from running. The horrible images of what had just happened refused to leave her mind. She felt as if she was trapped in some sort of nightmare, which would never end. Hadn't it been only yesterday when she had been celebrating her birthday with her family? Her life had seemed so perfect then. How long ago that now seemed!
A hand reached for her roughly. Startled, she screamed and tried to wriggle out of his grasp. But he was too strong. She gasped, knowing that this was the end. He would never let her leave alive. But she couldn't let him win, had to get away from him, had to!
With all her remaining strength, she aimed a kick to his shin. He recoiled immediately, swearing, reaching for her again. But that second was all she needed. She turned to run, but fell hard against the pavement. Shit. He had grabbed her by the ankles. She felt her nose beginning to bleed, feeling the pavement rake across her smooth skin. He picked her up, and she realized he was going to put her inside his car. She screamed and kicked wildly, but knew it would be no use. Was nobody watching? The road seemed almost deserted now.
Then she felt something sickly sweet being placed over her nose. She knew what it was, tried to hold her breath, but it was useless. The intoxicating fumes took over, and her vision became incredibly blurry as she struggled to remain conscious. She saw her captor peering down at her, but she could not see his face. It was covered with a black ski mask, and concealed everything except for his eyes.
His eyes.
The last thing the girl saw before she blacked out was the startling, intense deep blue of his eyes.
