A/N- Yet again, I am starting another story. Well, this is a lot different then my other ones. This first chapter is kind of short but the next chapters will be longer. Feedback would be awesome because I would like to know what people think and if they think that its worth continuing or not. Thanks to Meg for editing this and my cousin Joseph for coming up with the title.
Darkness fell over her eyes. She tried to scream but no sound came out. A cloth covered her mouth and nose.
She tried to kick and fight whoever had a hold of her. She felt herself growing weaker, losing her ability to breathe. She didn't know how much longer she could fight it.
She gave one last ditch attempt to wrangle herself free, then gave up. A blindfold was placed over her eyes. She slowly felt like she was falling, falling away from everything.
Seth gave himself a once over before he left his bedroom. He wanted to look nice for his date with Summer that night. They had just recently gotten back together. Things were almost okay. They were graduating in a week and a half and then they had the whole summer to spend together before she went off to Brown.
The most important thing that he knew at that moment: he was not going to screw things up. He and Summer were in a good place, for the time being at least. There was no telling when something was going to go wrong again. He was just going to try and make sure that he wasn't going to cause any problems.
He ran down the stairs, pounding on each one out of excitement. He had big plans for this date. They never did big dates or anything but he felt that their reunion was a big enough deal to get a special important date (so it was slightly late, considering they had been back together since prom which had been two weeks ago, but he knew it was the thought that counts).
"Mom is it all right if I take your car?" he asked, grabbing the keys without really waiting for an answer.
"Go ahead sweetheart," she replied. "Taking Summer out?"
Seth grinned. "Yea, I have something big planned for us tonight."
"That's nice. Don't be out too late and have a good time."
"Bye Mom," Seth said as he ran from the house.
He got in the car and started to drive to Summer's house. He hummed along with the music that was playing, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. He was so excited to take Summer out. They were going to have such a great time.
When Seth got to her house all excitement left him. The driveway was filled with police cars. His heart started beating faster and faster. He didn't know why they were there.
He ran out of the car, barely taking the time to stop it. He crossed the police tape that had been put up despite the cries from the officer. He ran into the family room, where Julie Cooper was lying, ice being held to her head. Summer's father, Dr. Roberts, was in the room, pacing back and forth, while Marissa was sitting on the chair, her face pale and worried.
"What's going on?" Seth asked. Where was Summer. He didn't see her anywhere. Maybe she was in her room.
Before anyone could respond to him, two police officers came into the room. "Good evening everyone. I'm Officer Wolf and this is Officer Hans. We have a few questions for you," he pointed to Julie.
Julie nodded her head. The officers took a step closer to her. "What exactly do you remember that happened?"
"I-I was sitting in here, reading the magazine that had come in the mail today. Someone came inside and I thought that it was Marissa, since she was due home from school. I called out and," Julie's voice started to crack, but she continued, her voice shaking slightly "and a man came in here. He grabbed a hold of me and asked me where Summer was. I tried to scream out but he held onto me and started to-he started to threaten me. When I wouldn't tell him where Summer was, he hit me with something that was in his hand and then knocked me out. When I woke up, my daughter Marissa was standing over me, screaming hysterically, saying that Summer was gone."
"And Summer is whose daughter?" Officer Wolf asked.
"She's mine," Dr. Roberts stepped over to them. "Dr. Neil Roberts."
The officers had more to say to Dr. Roberts, but Seth stopped paying attention. One phrase played over and over in his head. Summer was gone.
Summer woke up to a dark room. Her whole body was aching, especially her head, and her mouth was dry.
She tried to sit up, to try and figure out where she was. She did and still couldn't see much of anything in the dark light. She could make out a window, but there was no moonlight shining through or any sort of outside light.
"Hello?" she asked, her voice hoarse. "Is anyone here?"
She received no response. She didn't know what was going on. She was so lost and confused.
She curled up in a tight ball, once more calling out into the darkness. Again she received no response. She felt the tears fall from her eyes.
She was alone.
