CAPTURED ECLARE CHAPTER 7 LAST CHAPTER =( ENJOY! HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

It turns out they never found Veronica. When we got back from eating jail food we took her out of the floorboards. After that night it was day five here. I had a shirt on that had the blood marks from my back were still hurting. I looked around the room and I saw Diane. Veronica seemed to cheer Diane up all the time. This was one of the only things that warmed my heart at this place. All I knew was I wasn't getting out of here anytime soon so I had to get used to it. I looked around and Veronica said, "Let's play a game! Duck Duck Goose!" She screamed and I said, "Sh…Sh…be quiet." I heard loud steps and we placed Veronica under the floor boards. I nervously sat on top of the floorboard and my heart pounded when a huge guy about six feet and wide as ever walked into the room. His feet pounded on the floor and said, "Why were you all moving around here?" Diane and I nervously looked at each other and I said, "W...Well, we weren't I just fell. I tripped." He laughed, "Well, maybe you will learn to not be so clumsy with your new owner." I looked at Diane and asked, "New owner? What?" He grabbed me by my hair and lifted me off the floor. He ripped the floor board up I was sitting on and Veronica started crying when he grabbed her. "So…this is who you were hiding."

The room was quiet and we could only hear the sobs of Veronica. "We are going to hand you over to our manager downtown. Let's go, it is starting to get dark out now. We will drive you over now. No one will notice outside that we are taking you at night." I gulped and they placed a bag over my head. I started breathing heavily and he led me down the steps where I tripped on a nail sticking out of the floorboard and twisted my ankle falling on the floor. "Get up!" He screamed at me. I limped and the pain increased. Between my back and my ankle I didn't know what was worse…

ELI'S PROSPECTIVE

We stood around waiting for some action. I said, "Look at that van." I looked at the driver, he was wearing a mask. "Yeh, what about it?" Fitz asked. I rolled my eyes and said, "Look at his face." He mouthed and "oh." I replied, "I say we beat the crap out of the guy driving the car and Owen you get his mask and put it on and go in the driver's seat. Then…we see who ever goes in the van and then we attack them when we get far enough away. Then, we threaten to kill them if they don't tell us where Clare is." Fitz smiled and he continued, "Sounds like a plan…" I moved my finger gesturing towards the van and we all moved around the van. My heart was beating when I noticed the driver was holding a gun. Fitz went next to the drivers' window and slammed his fist into the driver's face and wrapping his arm around his neck. He quickly suffocated him and we all climbed into the van as quick as we could.

Owen, KC, and Fitz jumped in the back behind the last set of seats. We placed the driver in the back and they held him making sure he was unconscious. I placed the mask on and waited. I held the gun in my lap. I grabbed it and handed it to Owen, "You are the only one I would trust to hold this, so yeah. If anyone that gets in this van that isn't Clare, you shoot." Owen nodded at me and we waited and waited…but what were we waiting for?

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

They threw the bag off my head and said, "You see that van over there? Zach is going to escort you inside the van and take you to your new owner." I breathed in deep and nodded my head. This was it, I should just kill myself. I should just jump in front of a car. What is the point of living now? He handed me over to Zach and he gripped my arm so tight I couldn't feel my right arm. He said, "You are a pretty one…" He stroked my face and we started walking outside. I couldn't even say goodbye to Diane or Veronica. If I ever got loose then I would rescue them, I promised. I pulled his finger away from my face and he slapped me across the face causing me to fall on the floor in front of the house. He picked me up and said, "Let's go." I struggled and struggled trying to run away. But, it wasn't working. Getting in this van would mean I would never be let free. "Help!" I screamed as he covered my mouth quickly and said, "I tried to be nice, but now that's it." He held me tight and threw me inside the van.

He grabbed me as I noticed the driver's eyes. I looked in the mirror and the driver nodded at me, creep. This is so bad, I am doomed. Zach sat next to me and he said, "Drive!" The driver started moving the van and I sighed. I felt the hand mark on my face. It hurt, but the pain in my ankle took my mind off of it. I couldn't even feel my right ankle and lower. It was unbearable. I jolted down when I heard a gunshot go off! "Ah!" I shrieked looking in the back seeing Owen holding a gun and Zach lying on top of me. I looked around breathing quickly. I didn't know what to say. I looked at the driver and he took of the mask. It was Eli…Eli smirked at me and said, "Clare…" He smiled at me and stopped the car.

I felt a feeling of relief when I saw his face. Fitz and Owen helped get the man off my body. Eli got out of the driver seat and I looked at him. "I don't know what to say Eli…" I told him. I felt my ankle shake as he got closer to me. "I think I do…" He leaned in and crushed his lips against mine. I slowly pulled away and I heard three people mutter an "Aw…" I turned around and smiled at Fitz. I looked at Eli and he wrapped his arms around my body. He traced his hands with my back and asked, "What did they do to you Clare?" I looked at him and said, "We have to get Diane…and Veronica." He looked at me with confusion and said, "We already called the police Clare. Don't worry, you are safe now and so is everyone else." I smiled at him and he wrapped his arms around my body and gently carried me out of the car. He laughed and asked, "Clare Edwards, do you know how much you mean to me?" I smiled at him and said, "Oh, is this some joke? Where, you are just toying with my emotions. Because, I am really not in the mood for your flirting games." I smiled at him and he laughed and I saw a tear form in his eyes, "Clare, I love you so much." I smiled at him and he wrapped his body around me pulling me in for a tight hug.

2 DAYS LATER…

After going to the hospital and sleeping for hours I felt much better. My scars on my back needed to be stitched up and it turns out I sprained my ankle. I was back to school on Monday. I walked around and everyone around me was hugging me and telling me how much they missed me. I limped to my locker and saw Eli standing by it. "Hum, Locker stalker?" I asked curiously. He smiled, "Just protection is all…" I smiled, "Eli, did you really mean it when you told me you loved me?" He smirked and leaned in and kissed me. He left me breathless and I smiled, "I love you too."

*EPILOGUE*

Clare and Ali became best friends with Ali and she attended Degrassi in the beginning of the fall. Eli and Clare continued dating and loving each other (YAY) Veronica ended up living with a foster family that gives her much love and attention. She will never be neglected. She is still scared but, Clare and Diane visit her every day after school. To this day the men who took Clare and the other girls are still on the loose. A letter to Clare was left as Evidence from the driver of the van. He claimed he would get her back for letting their "business" down. But, Eli would never let her be taken away from him ever again. Like they say, you don't know what you really have until it's gone.
