S-V:Second chapter! Thank you for the reviews and we hope that you will review again. Remember reviews are love....and they are also the energiser bunny for story writing;)
Eve talked to her friend Ivy for hours on msn. She had been going through some strange things too. First a busker on the street had stopped her and told her that "He's coming" and then she had received a text saying the same thing.
At around 2am Ivy had said that she would be right back and it sounded urgent.
Eve went over to her book shelf and picked up one of her latest purchases. It was a new book in one of her favorite vampire series. She flicked around and started to read for a few minutes. After a short while she looked down and saw that Ivy was after signing offline, it was probably the computer going onto automatic shut down. Eve resumed her reading but an hour after Ivy had mysteriously logged off, Eve heard a noise coming from downstairs. She closed her book and dumped it onto her desk.
The brown haired girl slowly walked out of the comfort of her room and out into the dark and frightening upstairs hallway. It couldn't have been her parents or her brother or sister since they were gone. She was alone. And there was probably a burglar downstairs.
Eve gave an inward shriek and took a peak over the upstairs wooden railing to see who was downstairs. There were a couple of silhouettes downstairs by the door. The streetlight lamppost's light was shining in through the hallway and Eve could faintly see the outlines of four figures.
She quickly stepped back and leaned against the wall. Her breathing was becoming fast and jagged now and she rolled her eyes to heaven. , praying that if someone was up there, spare her.
She took another peak and saw that only two men remained in the hallway when all of a sudden a voice shouted "There she is boss!"
The shadowed figures looked up and saw the frightened teenager and before Eve could even comprehend what was going on the two men were running up the stairs. Eve quickly dashed into the nearest room away from the strangers. Her brothers room.
She ran into her younger siblings green bedroom and cursed her parents for being against their children having locks on their doors.
"Come here Doll-face I promise no one will hurt you" called a gruff voice "And I'm a man of my word"he said putting full emphasis on the "d".
Eve threw herself onto the floor and rolled under the bed. She could hear the men walking into her room from next door since the walls were thin enough to hear your brother blaring his TV in the morning or arguments.
The frightened girl hugged her knee's and buried her head into them. She tried to get her breathing even. Who were these men? Why did they want her?
She was shaking back and forth until this thought came to her. She froze and then resumed rocking but this time even faster until the door burst open as if someone had just kicked it. She saw a pair of feet walking around and then felt the bed that she was hiding under sink.
Eve put a hand over her mouth to stop herself from making any noise. She quickly got out from under the bed and stood up as fast as she could and ran out of the room leaving the shouts of the man who had been kneeling on the bed. She was just turning a corner when a hand shot out and shocked her.
Literally shocked her.
She fell to the ground,no longer able to control her muscles. Eve looked up to see her attacker face to face but only saw the dark shadowed outline again. She made a mental note to turn lights on from now on even if she wasn't in the room.
The person standing over her picked her up and threw her limp body over his shoulder. Eve was certain that it was a guy, unless a woman could be that built up,have the ability to carry her like a sack of coal and wear a man's cologne.
Well the last one was probably possible, women just didn't do that.
She was carried downstairs but could only see the stairs themselves as she could only see what was behind the man that was carrying her. As soon as they had reached the end of the stairs Eve noticed a man coming down too. He was carrying bags.
Oh my God are they robbing the place? Am I a hostage?
Eve was plagued with these thoughts until she was taken outside and thrown into a van.
All of this kidnapping was making her tired and her mind didn't see a problem with sleep.
Oh what the hell I'm probably going to be beaten or killed anyway thought Eve and she closed her eyes (which was the only part of her body that she could control).
Besides tomorrow is probably going to be a big day anyway.
–
Eve woke with a start.
Her muscles ached with stiffness. She tried to think over what had happened but only came up with a crazy dream about some guy that tazered her. Eve laughed at this thought Me and my imagination. But it was then that she looked around. The walls were bare and 'icky' in Eve's opinion. The room was empty apart from the wooden bed which she was lying on with purple covers. Eve had to smile at how her kidnapper had let her sleep in her favorite color. Maybe he won't be so bad
She threw her legs over the side of the bed and remained standing there for a while so she could regain her balance. Eve looked around. The room was bigger than her old one and the bareness of the walls gave her a strange impulse to write on them. There was also a door that Eve guessed was a closet door so she went over to investigate. It could be a walk in wardrobe. If it is then Stockholm Syndrome here I come Eve laughed at her thought and opened up the mystery door.
It was a walk in wardrobe and it was filled with her clothes on one side and other clothes that she had never seen before in her life on the other. She was starting to eye one of the new items of clothing when she noticed that there were shelves filled with her shoes and her make-up (which kinda irked her) on her side of the room. Funny Her side of the room. That was when she noticed the other door.
She stared at the door cautiously for a few minutes until she gave into her curiosity and went to open "Mystery door number 2".
She turned the handle and peered inside. It was the same room as the one she had woken up in, except the bed in this room had green bed covers. My favorite colors. And there was a lump underneath the covers. Wait. A lump under the blanket?
Eve was on the verge of hyperventilating but went to stand next to the bed anyway.
She didn't know what she expected to find. Her kidnapper maybe? But instead she found a red haired girl around her age fast asleep. Alright that's it Eve thought angrily and tried to shake the girl awake. It didn't seem to work and this pissed off Eve even more. The poor girl just couldn't take it anymore and let out a scream so loud that it would put a Banshee to shame.
This time it worked (even though Eve hadn't intended for it to work since she only screamed because he was frustrated).
The red haired girl shot up out of bed in a flash and stared at the brunette. She looked ready to kill. Who the hell is this chick? Thoughts began to swarm round in Eve's brain which prevented her from hearing the first thing that the mystery girl had said.
"What the hell? Who the fuck are you?" she screamed.
"Me? Who are you?" shot back Eve bemused.
"Fuck sake you can't just prance in here and wake people up!" screeched the anonymous girl.
"Alright Mr Grumpy Face"
"That's right don't even apologize!"
"Well sorry" when people got pissed Eve would usually pick up on it very easily.
Red-Haired Chick was starting to get pissed. Firstly she was woken up and rudely at that, Secondly she was woken up by a stranger in a strange place and Thirdly her "Waker-Upper" didn't even mean it when she said sorry. That was it. It was the last straw.
Before Eve could even comprehend what was happening Red Chick had jumped her and pinned her to the ground. She began to claw at Eve's face until Eve rolled over and pinned down her opponent but instead of clawing she slapped. Then again Eve didn't have any nails to speak of, since she had a very bad habit of biting them. But she loved to slap and she had enough experience from her brother to the perverts at school.
Red Chick kicked Eve in the stomach and both of them started fist fighting with each other while trying to stand up and pin the other down. It obviously wasn't successful and before the fight could escalate any more a loud bang could be head from the doorway.
Both girls momentarily paused in their floor combat and stared at the man in the doorway. He was wearing a purple suit and had green hair but that was just the tip of the iceberg. He had a scar running from each end of his mouth that went up which formed a smiley face. But this was covered yet exposed since he was wearing white grease paint on his face, red grease paint on his scars, to obviously make them stand out and black paint around the eyes. He looked like the freaking Joker. Eve also noticed how he kinda stooped like in her dream. Dream
"What is....uh..going on here" asked the guy that was dressed as the Joker. He looked halfway between pissed off and amused.
Then again there were two girls sprawled on the floor in front of him in mid fight.
"Oh great it's the drunk guy that thinks he's the Joker" muttered the red haired girl "Gotta admit though, he sure as hell can stay in character"
"You watch the Dark Knight?" asked Eve who was getting easily side tracked, she had only woken up the girl to get some information after all, not to fight.
"Of course...you too?" the mystery teen responded starting to perk up, she looked up at their captor and randomly said "Those scars look so real"
"I know!.....I wanna touch 'em" agreed Eve.
The two girls gave the green haired man a look, like hungry lions about to pounce on their prey. And pounce was right because the next thing that Eve knew, she had jumped her captor, with the help of her new "Batman Buddy" and was pinning him onto the ground. Neither girl had the guts to test out the scars so both girls just stared at the man that they were holding down. The man stared back and the next few minutes were just spent with two girls pinning a fully grown man to the ground and all three people just looking at each other.
"You do it" said Red.
"No you" retorted Eve.
"No you"
"No you"
"No you"
"You're the one that attacked me"
"You're the one that woke me up"
"You're the one that's been jumping everyone today"
"Well you said you wanted to check 'em out"
"FINE!" Eve said, she wasn't in the mood for a verbal fight right now and she was curious.
The girls seemed to have forgotten of the "Joker Guy's" presence from beneath them and Eve stretched out her hand ready to see if the scars were really genuine. She was just about to touch them when Red leaped on her and screamed which caused Eve to jump and scream herself.
Ivy fell onto the ground for the second time that day and burst out laughing. Eve was also after falling over and was in plain shock
"What the fuck was that?" she screeched, but was only answered with a mad cackle of laughter. Eve watched the red haired girl roll over in her fit of giggles and couldn't help but smile and laugh herself. They laughed for what seemed like hours until a third laugh joined in. And they recognized this one but refused to believe it.
Their kidnapper was standing up and looking down at the two mad teenage girls.
"You two...uh...might … be fun to have around....but never pull a stunt like that again" he said. Eve was amazed that someone could start a sentence off so happy and end it so dark and cruelly. And with that he left the two girls in the room alone.
"Ha...and when I woke up this morning I thought that my kidnapper might not be that bad....turns out that he thinks he is the Joker" said Eve mostly to herself.
"I like him" randomly pointed out the stranger that had just attacked Eve not minutes before.
"Me too...it's just that...things like this don't happen everyday." Eve replied.
"Well at least we know what NOT to do" said Red who was still lying on the floor and now staring at the ceiling, just like Eve.
"And what would that be?" asked Eve out of automatic politeness.
"Don't be serious"
And with that sentence the girls were off in "Laughing Land" again. When the giggles finally died down Eve just said, "I'm Eve"
"Haha I have a friend called Eve she is from Ireland sh-", stranger girl was cut off mid sentence and sat up, "Eve?As in Eve Harper?" she asked starting to get excited.
"Ivy?" asked Eve who was starting to finally recognize the girl in front of her.
"YES! Oh my God!" Ivy said starting to get jumpy with happiness.
"How did you end up here?" asked Eve.
"Long story" Ivy replied.
"Well I'm pretty sure that we have all day" Eve said.
"Well...I was in my room and I couldn't go to sleep so I talked to you remember?...we were talking about that hot guy in that movie that none of us could think up the name of?...well I heard a noise downstairs so I told you that I would be right back-"
"But you didn't and instead attacked me in a ...room" Eve interrupted trying to come up with a name for their surroundings
"Yeah sorry about that...anyway I went to go downstairs cause I thought that there were burglars in the house but it turned out that it was that Joker guy and then-"
"Did he tazer you?" interrupted Eve again.
"Jeez will you let me finish?"
"Sorry"
"It's okay...anyway he got my head and whacked it off of the wall ...which is not a nice experience by the way and then I blacked out and woke up here....or was woken up" Ivy sent a dirty look at Eve.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that it was you! But I know now so hopefully I won't be making the same mistake twice"
"What you mean 'hopefully'?" asked Ivy wearily.
"Well we ARE in a strange place and we ARE hostages by a guy that thinks that he IS the Joker" pointed out Eve obviously.
"Good point" agreed Ivy.
"So" said Eve, looking around the room,"Where do you think we are?"
"Gotham probably" snorted Ivy.
At that moment there was a loud bang at the door again and in walked a red and black figure.
Love it? Hate it? Review! And you will get cyber pizza!
