Patricia's P.O.V
I slowly walked into the kitchen, prepared for a conversation I would surely lose.
"Mum?" I whispered. She turned quickly placing her bony fingers on her hips.
"What is it?" she asked, fluttering her eyes. I twiddle my thumbs.
"Can I… Can I go see Em?" I mumbled, using the sweetest voice I could. Em was my cousin. She worked in a shop down town and I barely ever got to go see her and considering tonight was family night, I didn't think that would change. My mum sighed.
"Well I know you haven't seen her in a while, so..." she cut her sentence short to toss me the car keys. I stare at her in shock.
"Thanks mum!" I cried, running out of the kitchen into the driveway. I unlocked the car and climbed in.
I pulled up outside Em's shop. I quickly slammed the car door shut and ran inside. I saw her standing aimlessly behind the counter. My face lit up.
"Em?!" I cried. She looked up and grinned.
"Patricia!" She screeched and ran over to me, strangling me in a hug.
"I missed you," she said. I laughed and pulled out of her embrace.
"I missed you too," I replied smiling.
"What are you doing here? Where's Piper?" she asked. I shrugged.
"I came here to see you! As for Piper… I think she's out with friends," I say quickly. She nodded.
"Well, it's your lucky day Trish - you get to help me behind the counter!" she giggled, practically shoving me in front of a cash machine.
We spent the rest of the day laughing and talking and anything we could think of. I then began to look round the shop, only to see a newspaper with a man's face on it. The headline read 'Escaped Murderer'. My attention towards the paper was suddenly broken by the sound of rustling. I turned to see a hooded boy around 16 shoving cigarettes into his pockets
"Hey!" I yelled. The boy looked shocked and began to run out of the store.
"Patricia, get him!" Em shouted.
"What about you?" I cried a little annoyed.
"I'm in heels" she mumbled pointing towards her stilettos. I groaned and began to run after the boy.
I chased him down the street and through an alleyway until eventually he stopped at a car park. I had him cornered.
"You didn't pay for those, dick" I hissed. The boy gave me a sorrowful look and then I felt a large hand cover my face. I screamed and tried to kick my attacker but they were too strong. I was then chucked into a car.
"Let me out!" I screamed. Suddenly a man and a woman got in next to me and pulled me up by my hair.
"Just relax," the woman said, taking out a knife and dragging it down my face. I let out a silent yelp. Then another man got in the driver's seat and began to drive. I felt my heart rate increase.
"Where are you taking me?" I softly cried.
The man in the driver's seat smirked. "What's your name, sweetheart?" he said, avoiding my question.
"P-Patricia" I stuttered, afraid of what would happen if I didn't answer. The man let out a light chuckle and focused himself back on the road. I could feel myself shaking as the women continued to trace the knife up and down my body. I turned my head slightly to peer out the window. We seemed to have taken a turn into the woods.
"Do I take a left or a right here?" the driver asked hastily.
"A left," the man next to me stated, adjusting his seat position. My mind was racing with the possibilities of what my fate could hold. Was this all a dream? Maybe Em will call the police? But how will she know where I am? I need to do something... Now! I was then taken over by adrenalin and slapped the woman next to me, as she screamed in pain. I leant over her and tried to open the door.
"What the hell is going on back there?!" The driver yelled. Next thing I know, I was yanked back away from the door.
"Noooo!" I screeched. The car then began to lose control and the next thing I knew, we had crashed. I quickly looked around me - everyone seemed to have passed out, so I slowly clambered out of the car door and onto the cold forest ground. My heart sank when I heard footsteps. I looked up to see the driver and then I recognised him. It was the man on the front of the newspaper… The escaped murderer!
"You bitch!" He hissed, kicking me hard in the stomach. I let out a yelp and curled up in a ball. "Where is she?!" Another voice yelled. It was the woman's.
"Calm down Julie, just go get Alex," the man said.
"I can't! He's dead!...THAT BITCH KILLED HIM!" She screamed. I then felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. I turn to look and saw blood pouring out - she had stabbed me!
I screamed "P-p-please j-j-just l-let me g-go!" I stuttered. Then the man kneelt down next to me.
"Why would we do that when this is so much more fun?" He whispered eerily. I felt tears streaming down my face. I was scared... and they knew it. The man then grabbed me by my wrists and pinned me down. I screamed even though I knew no one would hear. I then felt his hands move under my shirt. I couldn't bear what was happening. It felt so much like a nightmare.
"P-p-please stop," I moaned. But he wouldn't... It just got worse.
When the man had finished with me I crawled slowly away but I was getting nowhere. I could hear the ungodly sound of laughter coming from the man and woman. I then reached my hand towards a hard rock and grabbed it.
"Screw you," I mumbled.
"Sorry, what was that sweetheart?" The man asked.
"Yeah we can't understand you, honey," the women added. I began to stand up - it took all my strength but I started to stand, with the rock lying heavily in my hand.
"I said screw you!" I screamed and through the rock straight at the man's face and ran... Ran for my life. I didn't dare stop to check if they were behind me. I just focused on the endless path ahead. "Stop!" I heard them yell from behind. I could feel my legs growing weaker but I still kept going. I finally came to a road and saw a car coming down. I started waving my hands frantically in the air. "Hey! Stop! Please!" I screamed. The car began to slow down.
