Disclaimer: still don't own anything… only the ideas that come to me…
A/N: hope you have enjoyed this story so far… there is more to come. A friend of mine gave me the idea to have Taylor and Samantha kidnapped a little longer for the anticipation and drama. So that is what is gonna happen.
Summery: what will happen when Eric and Scott enter the house? What is going to happen to Taylor? Will Jeremy finaly get what he wants from her? Stay tuned and find out…
Taylor nervously followed Jeremy into the bedroom, she was still so tired and weak she didn't know if she could fight him off again. Jeremy watched as she walked in and shut the door, and turned the lock. He could see how tired she was and said "would you like to sleep in here tonight?" she looked up at him like he had lost his mind "no, I might be tired but I'm not desperate." he walked up to her and said "your pretty even when your tired, I just wish you would let me see you…" Taylor continued to look at him with tired eyes and said "again I'm not that desperate, you can just go to hell for all I freakin care." he took her shoulders and said "aww come on, you will like it, its like I told you it only hurts for a moment." she frowned at him and said "no, not going to happen." he picked her up and threw her onto the bed, she scooted to the head and pulled her knees up. He climbed up and said "don't be this way Taylor…"
he grabed her ankle and pulled her to a laying position again, she once again felt butterflies in her stomach and tried to squirm away. He held her down and said "now we can do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice. I'm getting my way one way or another with you." she tried again to get away and said "then its gonna be the hard way, because I'm not going to let you do anything to me." he smiled at her evily and said "ok then…" she gulped and hoped she had enough strength to fight him. He took the zipper of her pants and undid them, she wiggled trying hard to break free but she was just too weak from what he had put her through earlier. He then unbottened her pants, she wiggled even more and kept saying over and over "no, please don't." he knew he was going to get what he wanted, and he knew that it was going to be by force…
In the room next door Brett had a horrible feeling in his gut that something was wrong with Taylor, he walked over to the vent and said "Samantha? Are you in there?" the room was dark, he couldn't see in there but there was no answer. He walked over to the door and pulled out his pocket knife, he pulled out a small blade and began to pick at the lock, it didn't take long to unlock the door. He stepped out and listened hard, faintly he could hear crying, and could hear a girls voice say no. He walked over to the door next to the one he just walked out of and sure enough he could hear Taylor, he tried to open the door but it was locked. He was afraid that Jeremy had his gun so he ran down the stairs to find a weapon, he found a cleaver in the kitchen and ran back up the stairs. He reared his foot back and kicked the door in, the sight before him made his blood run cold, Taylor was half undressed with her pants and underwear down around her ankles and Jeremy sitting over her trying to undo his pants.
Brett lost his head and said "GET THE HELL OFF MY DAUGHTER!" Jeremy jumped in surprise and spun around just as Brett clocked him in the stomach sending the much bigger man sprawling to the floor. Taylor scrambled to get off the bed and pulled her pants up, just as Brett was afraid of Jeremy pulled his gun out and said "how did you get out of that room? Cant you see I'm busy?" Brett stood over the drunk man and said "if you wish for me not to kill you right here right now then I would suggest you never touch my daughter again." Jeremy stood up and stood over Brett and said "your not in a position to be threatening me." he pointed the gun straight at Brett, Brett didn't budge he stood his ground and said "that damn thing isn't loaded, so I don't know why you even threaten me with it." Jeremy lowered the gun "how would you know? Your not the one who owns it." "I don't have to own a gun to know when its loaded or not." while Brett had Jeremy distracted Taylor had left the room in search of Samantha.
Taylor ran down the stairs and to the basement door, she noticed that the lock had been moved, it was higher then what she remembered. He must have installed it earlier, she went and got a chair to stand on and found Jeremy's key to the basement laying on the counter she kept thinking 'this guy is totally stupid to have left this out in the open.' She stood up on the chair and unlocked the padlock, moving the chair she opened the door and went downstairs "Sam? You down here?" Samantha came from around the corner and said "I'm fine are you?" "yea, come on we have to get out of here." Samantha grabbed Taylor and said "wait what about Jeremy? What if he catches us?" "dad's got him distracted right now, hurry I don't know how long he can hold Jeremy off." both girls raced up the basement stairs, just as they reached the top there was a loud thud upstairs. They looked at each other in concern, "do you thing your dad's ok?" "god I hope so." just then they both froze when they heard foot steps coming down the stairs, they were near the stair case so they quickly went and hid under the stairs. They could hear some one say "girls? Where are you?"
Taylor let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding "its dad." she whispered to Samantha. They came from their hiding place, "dad what was that noise?" Brett gave his daughter a hug, he didn't want to let go but he said "it was Jeremy, I knocked the wind out of him. Samantha do you still have the key on you?" she nodded "yes." they went to the back door and Samantha unlocked it, the three of them went out into the darkness. Taylor asked "dad? Where is the car?" just then Samantha stopped in her tracks "who's that?" they saw two shadows in the distance the taller of the two spoke "its ok, its Eric and Scott, Mr. Hillridge we cant find the car. We searched every where we could think of and we cant find it." Brett let out a frustrated groan and said "damn it, I bet that bastard some how found it and moved it."
Taylor looked up at her father and said "do we have to go back until morning? There is no way we will find it now, not at this time of night." Brett looked at her and said "over my dead body are we going back now. Come on we will find it, girls just stay close to us." Eric followed up the rear as Brett took the lead and Scott stayed next to the girls, they walked for what seemed like miles when they found an abandoned house. Brett stopped and looked at the girls, he could tell even in the moonlight that they were worn out. He said "ok, we will camp here tonight." he led them into the house, he went in first to make sure no one was there. It appeared that no one had been in the house in quite some time, it was caked with dust, the floors were dusty as were the windows. Scott checked the light switch and sure enough there was no power, so they went and looked around, the moon let in very little light but they could still see slightly. Brett led them up the creaky stairs and they checked out the upstairs.
They did find one room that had a king size bed in it. The four teenagers piled onto the dirty mattress, Taylor was asleep before her head hit the pillow, Samantha laid awake while Scott and Eric watched over the two girls. Brett walked out of the room and explored the house a little more. He found there were three other bedrooms on the second floor, all just as dirty and dusty as the one before. He found the bathroom to be more then repulsive when he walked in, he could tell who ever had been in there last hadn't flushed what they had done in there. He may not have been able to see it but the smell was horrendous. He shut the door and walked on, he didn't want to go too far from the teens as he walked around. He decided that no one could get to the kids from the upstairs so he explored down stairs for a bit, he walked around the long empty house and found no trace of any one who had been there in the last year or so.
He wondered into the kitchen where he found trash everywhere, he found a broken table with three broken chairs, empty bottles of soda, rotten food, and dead rats. The smell was almost unbarable, he couldn't see very well in the darkness but he could make out just a few things that were on the counter, but nothing that interested him. Brett continued to walk around, he dared not to attempt to look in the cubords in the dark, who knows what might jump out at him. He decided to head back upstairs, he checked in on the teens and found they were all almost asleep, Eric was the only one still awake. He looked at his dad and said "Dad? What if that guy comes looking for us? What are we going to do? Will we be safe here?" Brett walked over to the bed and said softly "son, every thing will be ok, I wont let anything bad happen to you kids. Besides he will be after me, Taylor and Samantha he didn't know about the two of you outside." Eric settled back down and went to sleep, Brett sighed and sat down in the doorway, he knew he had to keep his eyes and ears open, he eventually dosed off.
The next morning Taylor opened her eyes, she noticed that Scott was laying next to her with his arm across her stomach she knew he was just protecting her but it startled her at first. She took his arm off her and sat up, she noticed that Samantha was next to her and Eric was on the end. She saw her dad sitting in the doorway sound asleep. She got up careful not to wake the others, she scooted off the foot and stood up. Her body ached, she figured it was from what went on the day before and lack of sleep. She walked quietly past her dad and went down the stairs, she noticed that they were creaky stairs and tried to be as quiet as possible. When she got to the bottem she looked around, the house was pretty much bare, there were broken tables, and other things. She went into the kitchen and was disgusted by the rats that she found that had died, the stench was horrible as well. She could tell it had been years since any one had been here, the dust was starting to get to her nose, she opened up cabinets and found only cobwebs. She opened up the refrigerator but closed it quickly when she discovered the rotten food inside.
She walked out of the kitchen and into another room off to the side, she guessed it was the pantry. She found cans of food that hadn't been opened, bottles of who knows what on the shelves, she also found boxes of cereal and bags of macaroni. Personaly she didn't want to know when that stuff expired, she walked out of the small room and explored some more. She was halfway to the living room when she could hear the sounds of a truck pull up, she frowned and ran to the closest window facing the driveway. Her blood froze, she couldn't believe it, it was Jeremy. She raced up the stiars and said quietly "dad! Dad wake up! He found us!" Brett was instantly awake and turned to the other teens who were still sleeping, "Samantha! Scott! Eric! Wake up we have to get out of here now!" the three teens shot up out of bed and ran to the door way, Scott asked tiredly "what's going on?" Taylor answered "Jeremy is right outside. I saw his truck pull up."
Brett lead the way down the stairs, he saw Jeremy looking in the windows, he turned back to the teens "go back up, he doesn't see us yet." they went back up to the landing and waited for Brett to give the all clear, Brett watched Jeremy looking in the window, he couldn't see very far up the stairs so Brett was safe where he was. Jeremy was looking in the windows, he couldn't find the girls or Brett, he didn't think they had left the house but he found the basement door open and the back door standing wide open when he came to a couple of hours after Brett had clocked him. He didn't so much care if he found Brett so much if he found the other two, they were the ones he wanted, and he wanted them badly, if it wasn't for a stuck zipper then he would have gotten what he wanted from Taylor. He tried to open the front door, he wasn't surprised to find that it was locked tight, he turned around and walked around the side of the house, he found the celler door and opened it up.
Inside Brett had been holding the door knob, he wasn't sure how he got to the front door with out Jeremy seeing him but he did it. He suddenly heard the celler door open, he motioned for the teens to follow him, the quietly decended the stairs and out the front door one at a time. They went to the other side of the house and into the woods, Brett lead the way as no one said a word as they quietly walked fast trying not to trip over fallen branches. Brett had know idea where he was leading them but he knew he had to stay positive and maybe he would find another house some where that had people in it. They walked for over an hour before Samantha asked "where are we?" Brett stopped and looked around and said "good question, but all I know is that we have to keep going, look I know this is hard but its either this or we go back to the house that Jeremy is at." Taylor put her two cents in "I vote for keep going, with any luck maybe we will find a house with people in it." Eric spoke up next "yea like in those horror films…" Scott cut him off "you finish that sentence and Taylor will be an only child! This is not the place to be making those kind of jokes."
Just then Taylor felt her phone vibrate, she had almost forgotten she had it, Brett frowned when he saw the expression on her face. "what is it honey?" " its Jeremy, its gotta be… dad isn't your phone back at the house?" she turned her phone around and showed them that the word 'Dad' came up on the caller id. Brett said "ok, Taylor don't answer when your phone does that ok. He is just trying to find us, if you answer then he may find us for sure." Eric felt his phone go off too, he looked and said "oh sh… crap he is calling my phone now, how would he know that we had been there?" Brett said calmly "don't panic son, its going to be ok." Samantha spoke up "what if he found a way to power up my phone? He may try to call my mom…" Brett smiled at her "no, there is no way too unless you left a charger there." After that they hiked on, it seemed like 1000 miles had gone by before they found another house, only this one was occupied. Brett had the teens wait on the walk while he went up and knocked on the door, moments passed and a small older woman came to the door. In Eric's oppionion she looked like an old woman from a horror film, the lady smiled at them sweetly and said "hi there? What brings you all out here?" Brett sighed and said "well, my kids and I are lost, and I was wondering if we could use your phone." the woman looked up at him and said kindly "well I would, but we don't have a phone." moments later a tall, thin, old man came to the door and said loudly "Mayble? Who's at the dang door?"
she turned to him "oh Frank its this lost man with his four children, they were wanting to use the phone." Frank looked down at his wife and said to Brett "come on in, all of ya." the four teens looked at each other nervously as they followed Brett into the house, the house was decked out with pictures hanging all over the walls, some in frames others not, the house smelled horrible like they had been having plumming problems for years, the carpet was dark forest green and had black spots on the floor. The walls were dark brown and made of false wood, there was a small television sitting in front of a love seat couch. Taylor hadn't felt good since they started trekking threw the woods, the smell of the house was getting to her quickly. The older woman looked at the smaller girl and said to Brett "is she your daughter?"
Brett looked at Taylor who was beginning to look a little green and said "yes, this is Taylor, then beside her is Samantha, behind her is Scott and beside him is Eric." Frank huffed and said "just show him the damn phone." the old woman lead him to the phone "hopefully you reach your wife." he motioned for Taylor to stay by his side, as he made the phone call. When he picked up the phone there was no dial tone, he turned to Frank "I don't think your phone works." Frank looked over at him and smiled for the first time, the old man had vertualy no teeth in his mouth and the ones he did have were stained yellow. "oh did I forget to mention that the phone hasn't worked in about 20 years or so." Brett looked at the four exhausted teens "ok lets go, this was a waist of time."
Taylor stood still for a moment not moving from beside the phone, Brett and the others turned when they noticed she was not with them. Samantha spoke first "Tay are you ok?" they noticed how pale she got suddenly, Brett stepped forward noticing how Taylor was staring behind the chair by the window. "Taylor? Honey what's the matter?" Brett walked beside her and looked at what she was seeing, he couldn't believe what she was looking at. There behind the couch was a fallen picture, but who was in the picture left Brett wondering if these people were side tracking them. Samantha could hear a truck coming, her blood froze, Brett heard it too and took his daughters arm firmly and ushered her out the door.
They took off running when they heard Jeremy shout "Taylor!" they ran as fast as they could threw the woods, it seemed endless, after some time had passed they stopped in a dence area to catch their breaths. Taylor leaned up against a tree, she was becoming weaker, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she had felt fine just a couple of days ago. She held her stomach, Eric walked over to her and asked "sis are you ok? What's the matter?" Taylor shook her head and said softly "I'm fine, its nothing…" before she could finish what she was saying she threw up beside the tree, Eric pulled her hair back as she proceeded to be sick. Eric looked over at their dad who was servaying the area and said loud enough for him to hear "dad! Taylor's sick!" Brett jogged over and checked on her, he noticed that her vomit was discolored, maybe it was from lack of food. But even then it doesn't look like that when there is nothing in the stomach. He put his hand on her forehead and said "honey your burning up."
Scott walked over with Samantha beside him, "is she ok?" thye all looked at her concerned, Taylor finaly spoke after several moments, "I'm… fine… I just don't know why I am so sick." Brett thought about it for a few moments then said "I wonder if it's the ammonia? How much of it did you use Taylor?" she felt a little better but not much as she replied "I tried to use as little as possible." Samantha frowned "but I used it too? Why am I not sick?" Scott looked at the two girls and said "Taylor how many rooms did you use it on?" Taylor looked up at him "the kitchen, living room, and dining room. I had to mop the floors with it, in all three places." "Samantha how many places did you use it on?" "Bathroom, both bedrooms and the basement." Brett had this feeling something else happened, "wait, where was the last place you used it at Samantha?"
Samantha thought hard about it, out of know where she began to cry hard, Brett was taken aback by this reaction. Scott and Eric didn't understand either why she was crying, Taylor didn't have a chance to know how she felt as her stomach lurched again. With out a warning Samantha turned around and ran in the direction they had just come from, Brett told the boys "stay with Taylor." as he took off after Samantha, he caught up to the smaller girl and grabed her gently and said "Samantha? What's the matter? What happened?"
Threw her tears she said "Taylor's going to hate me forever now! I know why she's sick… she's been poisoned! And its my fault! Its my fault that we got kidnapped! Its my fault she was getting bullied!" she sat on the ground and broke down, Brett got down beside her and said softly "what do you mean its all your fault?" she took a deep breath and said shakily "after… I got done cleaning Jeremy's room… before I called down the stairs to him… I took the rag I was using and soaked it in ammonia… and… I… uh… put it under the mattress at the head of the bed…" Brett looked at the girl in the eyes and said soothingly "Sam, why did you put it under the bed?" "I-I was hoping to make Jeremy sick… I didn't know he was going to take her back in there… if I had known I wouldn't have done it to begin with… I'm so sorry Mr. Hillridge… I wouldn't blame you if you just left me here." Brett stood up and looked down at her "Samantha, I could never do that… but we need to find a way to get Taylor to the hospital quick… if she has been poisoned then she needs medical treatment immediately."
After Samantha calmed down they both walked back to the others, no one asked what was said as they continued along the narrow path they found. After a long silence Scott asked "what was it that made Taylor upset back at that house?" Brett didn't look at him as he replied "she saw a picture of Jeremy, those were his parents. Some how they knew that Jeremy was coming, we just need to be careful from now on about who we talk to." he glanced over at Taylor, she was still very pale, her blond hair was dirty and matted from sweating so much from running and from being sick. He knew this wasn't the time to discuss what Samantha had done, right now they had to pick priorities and find the highway. They long since gave up looking for the car, it would be found soon enough.
Taylor's cell phone was still in her pocket, she pulled it out and turned it on, she said to her dad "dad, should I try to call mom? Maybe she could use the GPS and find us that way? Its getting cold out here." Brett was deep in thought but he replied "that could work honey but we are miles from a road, here let me see your phone." they stoped and Brett took a closer look at Taylor's phone, he managed to find the tracking system on the phone and pulled up a map. He typed in Eric's phone number and a map showed up on the screen. After studying the map he said "we are about five miles east of the nearest highway." he kept Taylor's phone as a guide to show where to go, they followed him. When they came to a clearing Brett stopped, Eric got the feeling that they weren't alone in these woods, Scott spoke up first "did you guys hear something?" at first it was quiet then it got louder, it sounded like the propellers of a hellicopter, but it was too low for that it sounded as if it was on the ground coming their way. Brett looked at the girls and told them "get into those bushes over there Eric stand guard, Scott come with me."
Scott followed Brett into the clearing, they could still hear the noises getting closer. Scott spoke quietly "what if it's the highway?" "maybe, but we better be sure." they walked further, once they got to the other side Brett looked back at the girls and Eric, he saw that they were still safe where he left them. Turning back he saw that they were near an air field, he thought for sure they would be home free until he heard Taylor scream he turned around to see Jeremy holding her, he ran as fast as he could he could hear his daughter calling out to him as Jeremy dragged her to his truck. Eric was unconscious on the floor of the forest, he shouted "you bastard! Let her go!" Scott and Brett ran after Jeremy, their blood ran cold when Jeremy stopped and pulled out his gun and held Taylor close to him. "don't even think about it old man! Now I only want her, I am willing to let the rest of you go, I'm taking her back to the house. If any of you follow me I will shoot her, I'm not kidding." Samantha wanted to run to her friend, but since she hadn't been seen by Jeremy she crawled across the forest floor as quietly as she could. She noticed that Brett was watching her, but since Jeremy's back was turned he couldn't see her. She crawled army style to the truck, she could feel the dirt going down her shirt as she crawled. She got to the truck and stood up, she hoysted her self quietly up and over the rear of the truck. She put an old army blanket over her and laid perfectly still, she could still hear what was happening.
Taylor saw her father battle with the dicision to save her or leave her with the cold mettle of the gun pressed up against her temple. She could feel the tears streaming down her face, she had never been so scared in her entire life. She tried to buckle her knees again but Jeremy held tighter to her.
Jeremy backed up to the truck still holding the gun and dragging Taylor along with him, he could see by the helpless look in Brett's eyes that the man wasn't going to follow him. He threw Taylor in and then got in him self, thankfully for Samantha she couldn't be heard when she yelped in pain from Jeremy spinning out and the entire truck leaped. Causing Samantha to hit her back hard on the side of the truck. Brett watched helplessly as his daughter had been thrown into the truck, they were so close to escaping. He knelt down to check on his son, Eric groaned and sat up "Dad what happened?" Brett couldn't stop the tears from starting to form "she got rekidnapped son, but I'm pretty sure though that they went back to the house. Are you alright?" Eric nodded and stood up "come on dad we have to go find her."
The three of them started walking in the direction the truck went, Brett had a feeling that something bad was about to happen to Taylor. Call it fathers intuition but he knew something was about to happen and it was going to be bad. He wanted to stop Samantha from climbing into the truck but he knew if he had drawn attention to her then something worse could have happened. Since they had walked for nearly a day and a half maybe two days he knew that anything could happen to Taylor. He just hoped that they got there in enough time to save her…
Back in the truck Jeremy was furious with Taylor, he said to her in a heated tone "what the hell were you thinking? Did you really think you could get away from me? Well guess what blonde, you didn't get away. You belong with me and I'm not letting you escape me again, this time if you try bullets are going to fly." Taylor sat in the seat with her knees drawn up to her chest, her long hair was matted from dirt and sweat to her face. She had tears falling from her eyes, she kept looking out the window she just hoped and prayed that something would happen that would save her. She didn't understand why this guy was so obsessed with her, she felt sick again, she wanted to mention something but thought against it. A few times they would run over a tree limb and she thought she was going to toss her cookies right there. She couldn't understand why she was so sick other then the fact that she hadn't eaten in days. She still didn't know that Samantha had put the rag under Jeremy's bed that was soaked in ammonia.
It took who knows how many hours to drive back to the house, she saw the now familiar house and knew with out her father around she might get raped for sure. She had been lucky so far because some one has always been there to stop it, little did she know that stowed away in the back of the truck was Samantha.
Once they pulled up to the house Jeremy got out and held the gun up to her and said "I'm done messing around, get out now!" Taylor slowly got out of the truck, Jeremy came around to her and took her arm and lead her into the house. He put her back into the empty room and slammed the door and locked it. Her matt was still in the middle of the room, she sat down on it and cried. After a while her stomach lurched again, she went to the vent since it was still open and dry heaved into it. She had nothing left to throw up in her stomach, she felt as though she was going to die if this continued. She stood up on shaking legs and walked over to the window and looked down, she couldn't believe it when she saw Samantha climb out of the back of the truck. She really hoped that luck would be on her side, and that Samantha could get back inside.
Outside Samantha went to the back door, she could see Jeremy inside messing around in the kitchen, as quietly as she could she entered the back porch and waited for him to leave. Hours later she could hear the truck start up and speed off, she unlocked the door with the key she still had in her pocket. She walked inside and went up the stairs to the room she knew Taylor would be in; she opened the door and saw Taylor huddling in the corner. "Tay? Are you alright?" Taylor couldn't see very well in the dim lighting so she couldn't tell at first who it was that came into the room. She stood up and ran to Samantha hugging her and crying. "I thought I was dead for sure…" Samantha just said softly "shh… its ok. Come on before he comes back." Taylor had tears streaming down her face as she said "but he will find us again! I just cant let him get me a third time… he said that bullets would start flying if I tried to get away again… what if some one gets hurt? I don't think I could handle that…" just then the girls could hear the front door slam shut, both of the girls stiffened up, Samantha closed the door quickly and hid in the closet. Jeremy could be heard climbing the stairs, Taylor sat back in her corner and waited, she was scared of what was about to happen to her. Jeremy unlocked the door and opened it, he looked at her and said "huh, I'm so glad I just have you now, don't worry I will be back shortly and we will have some fun." he shut the door and went to his room to lie down for a while, little did he know that there was an ammonia soaked rag under his bed.
Several hundred miles away in a small community college 21 year old Haley Hillridge had just gotten off the phone with his mom, she told him about the kidnapping. He was furious how could she wait until his little sister had been gone for four days to tell him about her being kidnapped. He got his wallet and some money and went to the airport, if the police, and his parents weren't going to find Taylor and rescue her then he would.
A/N: don't y'all just love my cliffhangers? Ok so I added a character, if you cant tell Haley Hillridge is Emily Osment's brother Haley Joel Osment. But since this is Cyberbully I have his last name at Hillridge. I would love to see the two act together some day so I thought why not put Haley into the story. Things are about to get interesting for Taylor now that her older brother is coming out to help save her. R and R no flames
