Taken

Chapter 1:The encounter

I smiled at my students as the last school bell of the year rang signaling that school was over, and summer had began. They ran out the classroom excited about the summer.I cleaned off my chalkboard and returned to my desk finishing the last of the children's final report cards that will be mailed to them later this week. I lost track of time after grading papers and averaging out grades. After a while most teachers had left. It was around 10:30pm and it was only the janitor and I. I said goodbye to him,

"Goodbye Mr. Rodgers have a nice summer." I said kindly, he smiled and said,

"Have a nice summer Ms. Edwards and you be safe walking home now."

"Yes sir." He nodded me off, and I smiled at the old man.

I left the building and proceeded to walk the journey to my house. I took a short cut through a dark alleyway because it was so late and I don't walking alone at night in the dark. As I walk out of the alley I passed a man dressed in all black leaning against a car. He smirked at me and raised his eyebrow suggestively.

"Have a nice evening."He said lowly. I don't know if it was just his personality or his voice or the way he was in general but his words sounded more sinister than genuine. Like he was being sarcastic. It just seemed to me like he had something up his sleeve, and frankly I didn't like it. I didn't know this person and I know I shouldn't judge him but something just didn't sit right with me about him.

I didn't respond to the comment I just looked away from his jade green eyes, and his smirk he plastered on his face fell and he turned to get in his car. I continued to walk to my house but out of the corner of my eye I could see that same car following me.I pretended I didn't see it and just quickened my steps. As I sped up so did the car and I could practically feel my heart beating out of my chest. I told myself to calm down. That I was just being paranoid and the man was simply just going in the same direction I was. Nothing bad was going to happen to me tonight, and I was not being followed. I looked behind me just to be sure just to prove the point that I was being silly. But that was the biggest mistake of my life.

When I looked back I saw that the man wasn't even looking at the road, no instead he was giving me the scariest fucking glare I've ever seen in my life. I whipped my head back around not wanting to see the strangers eyes anymore. They scared the shit out of me and I'm going to pretend he's not there I'll be home in my bed asleep soon enough.

I could finally see my house in view and I virtually ran into my front gate. The car stopped across the street and parked. When I heard a car door shut from across the street signaling the mystery man had got out his car I could've screamed but figured what's the point nobody would hear. I could've ran but figured he would catch me. So I figured the best thing to do was get into the house and lock the doors.

Clare be calm.

Clare be calm.

Clare be calm.

Clare be calm.

I told myself that over and over again because being calm is all I have left to do.I walked into my yard slowly, trying my hardest to ignore the footsteps I hear clearly coming up behind me.

It's all in your head.

It's all in your head.

It's all in your head.

It's all in your head.

I told myself even though I knew it wasn't. There really was a man who for some reason was really dangerous and could kill me. Or gets his pleasure out of scaring women. However something tells me it's not the ladder. I looked back once again, wasting valuable time I know but I just really wanted to see how close he was. He opened the front gate and walked into my yard not bothering to close the gate back.

We were about forty feet away me being at my front door and him walking towards me extremely slowly.I turned back around and I looked in my purse searching for my keys so I could get into my front door. When they were nowhere to be found I almost cried, but there was no time. I felt his presence behind me and I froze. Swiftly, a strong arm picked me up from around my waist I tried to kick him to scream anything that would get someone's attention. I knew it wouldn't work though. It was too late at night for anyone to hear me, see me, or help me. I guess it was my fault for staying at work so late.I stopped trying to fight his grip he was way stronger than me and I was just wasting my time and valuable energy. Suddenly a wet cloth went over my mouth. At first I felt light headed and then I just blacked out.


:D Yeah so review :D
