CAPTURED ECLARE CHAPTER 2

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

I grabbed onto Eli and said, "Please don't let them take me! Please!" The five men exited the car and headed for me. I screamed, "Help! Help!" Of course, with my luck no one was around. It was Eli and I against six muscle headed petifiles.

Eli tried to fight them off but one grabbed me and Eli screamed, "Clare! Kick! No! Don't hurt her!" I struggled and struggled but they only gripped me tighter. I screamed and shrieked Eli's name so many times, but it was too late I was already in the van. They beat Eli up and he was on the ground breathing heavily with his head down. I tried to force my way out of the car but one man held his hand around my mouth and waist. I saw Eli get up and scream, "Clare!" He started running away and the van quickly sped away.

I looked back when I saw Eli's hearse behind us. He wasn't giving up, oh my god Eli please save me! The man in the driver's seat looked up in the mirror and asked, "Your little boyfriend doesn't give up, does he? Well, we will change that." They quickly made a swift u-turn causing me to fall on the floor of the van. I stayed down and prayed. I prayed that Eli would be okay and that he wouldn't be harmed anymore. I heard a loud smash and the men laughed. I got up and looked through the trunk window and saw the hearse crashed and the front of the hood smoking. Eli was unconscious behind the wheel. No…No. I started crying and looked around the van. I didn't know what to do. I asked, "What are you going to do with me?" They smiled and said, "You'll see when it happens…In the meantime let's get to know each other." The driver asked, "Yeah, sweetie what is your name?" I chocked on my words, "Jessica." I lied because if you aren't supposed to tell strangers your real name because once you get saved, if you get saved, they will look for you. I started sobbing and said, "I want to go home…" The driver laughed, "Oh come on darling, don't cry. I am sure we have better guys at the place we are taking you than that little douche back there. Trust me…every girl who goes through this process of ours never wants to go back because they are so happy to be with us."

For the first time in my life, I was so scared it hurt. My heart was pounding out of my chest and i felt the van stop. I looked up and they held my arms behind my back and said, "Welcome to your new home." This was place wasn't familiar to me. I looked around and noticed it was between Miller Street and Homer Avenue. I remembered it, and I asked, "When do I get to go home?" The guy was middle aged and had black hair. He said, "Don't worry Jessica this is your new home now…" I looked at the house up and down. It looked like a place where prostitutes stay and homeless people. It looked like I wasn't going to escape. I was in for it, and I was so scared…

ELI'S PROSPECTIVE

I shook my head back and forth and smelt smoke. I looked around and remembered what happened. I heard Clare's voice screaming my name and I shuddered. Then, I heard Adam, "Eli! Dude!" I heard engines and fire alarms. I tried to move but tightened when I the pain shot through my body. My ribs felt soar. I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw firefighters surrounding me and trying to get into the car. I moved down and covered my face when the glass shattered all over the car. They broke my window, dicks. Do they know how long that is going to take me to fix?

I parted my eyes when a firefighter grabbed me and pulled me out of the car. I coughed and coughed, "He is okay!" I heard one guy scream. I heard a crowd of people clap. I grabbed the firefighter's arm and pulled him closer to me, "Find…Clare." I told him forcing the words out. He said, "Guys we need an ambulance he is delusional!" I shook my head when they carried me into the ambulance. They ripped off my shirt and started connecting wires. "No…no…" I kept repeating disconnecting all of these wires. Then, I felt a sharp pain in my arm. The nurse stabbed me in the arm with a needle, and the last thing I could remember was hearing Clare's voice fade away…

ADAM'S PROSPECTIVE

"No, I am sorry I don't know where she is." I told Clare's mother as she was frantic on the other line. "Okay, Adam if you see her please tell her to come home." I said, "No problem, Mrs. Edwards." The line went dead and my head was pounding in frustration. I looked down at my feet and I shuddered when I heard Eli's shrieks. I sat outside the emergency room. The paramedics say he should be fine but he suffered from a three broken ribs. They say it was caused by a car accident. They say he probably made a wrong turn. I opened my cell phone and dialed my mother. "Hey ma, I am at the hospital. Don't worry I am fine, Eli is in the hospital. He got into a car accident." My mother franticly replied, "Adam! Are you okay?" I said, "I wasn't in the car mom. I just went with him to the hospital. I will go home after I see him."

I hung up before she could respond because she was irritating me. I looked up and saw Ali. "Adam!" She sighed and wrapped her arms around me. She was sobbing on my shoulder. I barely talk to this girl, what was she doing. She shrieked on my shoulder and said, "I don't know where Clare is…" I pulled her away and said, "Ali, I am sure she is fine. She probably just lost her phone or something." Ali said, "Don't you care about her. She could have been taken. You heard the announcement this morning!" I sighed and said, "Ali, you know she is smarter than to go with a stranger." She looked at me and gave me the "I am going to cry more if you don't tell me she is okay," look. I said, "Listen, she is my best friend Adam. I can't lose her. She is like a shrimp. She could have been easily carried into a house or taken away. Adam, I am so scared…" She crashed into me and continued to sob on my shirt. I tapped her back, and said, "Don't worry Ali…" I didn't know where Clare was and I then heard Eli shriek again. Then, the nurse walked out of the room.

She stopped and said, "You are here for Eli? He is okay now, he is resting. You can go see him." I said, "Thank you." Ali said, "Maybe he knows something about Clare…" I told Ali, "Maybe you should just stick to small talk…" I knew she wasn't. We walked into the room and Eli was lying on his bed sweating and in tears. He looked like they ripped him apart. "Hey man…" I said. Eli said, "Sup…" Ali said, "Let's cut to the chase! What did you do with Clare?" I lightly tapped her and Eli looked as if he had a flashback or heard something. "Clare…I don't know. I don't know where she is. They took her." When I heard that I knew he shouldn't have said it. "Who? Who is they?" Ali questioned him.

Eli looked as if the answer would be painful. He looked as if; he didn't want to say it. "I don't know who they were, I could barely remember. I hit my head really hard and I know it was about four to give guys in this van and I remember…" Eli thought and Ali asked frantically, "Eli I thought you were smart! Remember! Please, think really hard!" Eli shook his head and said, "I remember I was standing in front of Clare…" He choked on his words, "I was standing in front of her. She gripped hard onto my jacket. She was tugging at it…they pulled her away. They, they pulled her far away from me…" Eli started to tear. "Come on Ali, leave Eli alone. Let me talk to him alone, okay? Then, I will walk you home." Ali whispered, "Okay…"

I looked at Eli and said, "Man, come on don't cry Eli. She will be fine." I tried to comfort him but it sounded like I was only making it worse. "Adam…you don't understand what happened back there. I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest and stomped on. She screamed my name hundreds of times, and I couldn't help her…it was horrible. It felt like, I couldn't get to her. She screamed my name and begged for me to help her. I need to find her…" He started unhooking all of the IV's attached to him and I said, "I don't think that's a good idea. You should just rest…" Eli said sarcastically, "Rest! Are you crazy? I can't stop thinking about Clare! I need to find her!" I couldn't stop Eli when he was on a rant. I was the only person here who was calm. Eli glared his eyes at me and said, "Nothing will stop me from finding Clare…"

DUN…DUN…DUN!
