Chapter 7
Missing Roje..Or not Missing Roje..
Music was being played as I danced with Nathaniel. He had this warm smile on his face and he looked so much more calm. Relaxed even. The people around the room were dancing too. Did I forget to mention it was slow dancing? He was actually teaching me as we were at this party. The more I looked at Nathaniel, the more I kept falling for him. Why did he have to be so handsome? He was perfect. Like someone from a book and that was hard to find!
"Roje?"
"Yes Nathaniel?"
His cheeks turned pink "I...I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.."
I looked at him, tilting my head a bit "Tell me what?"
"I..." he trailed off, only leaving me hanging. He leaned down, our lips were so close...
I heard a crash downstairs, causing me to jump out of my sleep and sit up in my bed. I looked at the time, only seeing it was 3am. Why would grams be up at 3 in the morning? I don't even know if she's home yet. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and something told me they weren't bare feet or Grams's feet. Instantly, I ran into my closet and hid behind the tons of clothes I had along with some boxes. It was good camouflage if you ask me. My heart raced as I sat in the closet. I was sure to close it before I hid because there was no way I was going to get caught.
The footsteps entered my room, 2 men. One had a bat. Sure enough, it was probably to beat someone with it. Someone like me. I closed my eyes, not wanting to look. I only listened and heard the feet go out. I needed to get the phone. How stupid was I to not get the phone!? Pretty stupid if you ask me! Maybe I just wanted to go and hide first. What I needed was some help. And obviously, grams wasnt here to save me. She was probably passed out at her friends house. What a bad night to be out, Grams..
Slowly I started to get out from behind the boxes and clothes, I was pretty sure they were gone because I heard nothing but silence in the house. My heart only beated harder, causing me to shake out of fear. Once I was out of the closet, I was instantly grabbed, causing me to scream before my mouth was covered with a rag that had only knocked me out. What did I do to deserve this...?
I heard voices..how many..3? 4? I couldn't tell, I was only knocked out and knew nothing of what was happening. My brain was still in lala land while my hearing was out and about, listening to what was going on. They were talking about something that I needed to pay attention to. So, I managed to wake my brain up but still act as if I was sleeping. I was sat upon something: A chair. Nothing very comfortable. But able to keep me proped up and tied to.
"I just love how you managed to catch this girl. She'll be a good..servant wouldnt you think?"
One of the men nodded "Indeed. Boss her around, get her to do errands. Of course, someone would have to be with her at all times. Its about time we have a companion."
Another man spoke "She's a special one. Look at her eyes. She's one of them. Rarest of them all."
I couldn't listen to this anymore! Servant? One of them? Who is this 'them'? I don't even know! I wish I was back at home..sleeping..dreaming of Nathaniel..Why..why am I here? I'm rare? What is this some sort of harry potter movie or something!? Come on, Face reality here you dumb men! I'm not sure why I'm here, but I'm going to have to find out soon and the only way to keep myself alive is to manage to be a servant.
"I'll be a servant." I told them, lifting my head and looking at them "Sounds..better." I was really trying to save my butt here. And surprisingly, they took the bait!
It had been weeks..days...has anyone been looking for me? Well this question had been answered when one of the men walked in with a 'Missing Person' paper. It had my face on it, my age, where I last was and my grams' number. They looked for me..I was pretty happy. Also, the outfit I was wearing was so embarrassing. It was a maid's outfit, but it was entertaining to the men..especially when I served them what they wanted. I needed to get out, but there was just no way to get out! I was stuck here for a very long time and there was nothing I could do about it.
"Look at that, they're looking for you Little Red. Too bad they wont find you." he smirked and sat in his chair.
He instantly waved me off and I left his side, going to the other men's side. He didn't mind my company. And he didn't do anything which he liked. Oh Grams..Nathaniel..Ken...anyone..I wish you could save me. What snapped me out of my thoughts were one of the men grabbing my arm and dragging me into one of the rooms. Clearly, his face said it all...That was the end of it..the end of me...I was probably never going to be found and I only put myself in this mess by saying I want to be a servant...
I shot out of bed, screaming. I was drenched in sweat and when I looked at the clock, It was 6am..That was early. I looked around my room like I never been in it before "Was it a dream..?" I asked myself, looking at my door and seeing Grams rush in, clearly she was worried about me as she turned on the light. She looked more scared then I did! I tried not to laugh, but it was funny.
"Roje dear, are you okay!?"
I nodded "Y-Yeah...I had a nightmare that's all..." I looked down at my sheets and sighed softly before looking at Grams
"I'll make you some tea..you take a shower and get dressed for school."
I nodded once more and got out of bed once she was gone "That was intense..."
I took my shower and began my day with Grams's tea and some breakfast.
(I just wanted to make the story a little bit intense XD I tried! But um, sorry for the last 2 chapters not having bold letters for talking. :( I was rushing through them so...Yes. Thank you for reading, I really appreciate it!)
