Crimzon: Hiya, peoples! Sorry I kinda took a while in this chapter . . . it's not even that long. Only about 2,000 words. Well read, review and enjoy and I OWN NOTHING, ONLY OC'S AND PLOT!
~Yvette's POV~
"I swear to God, the moment I'm free from these damn ropes, I'm kicking all of your asses!"
"Quiet kid. The boss ordered us not to harm you, but if you keep yelling, I might have to go against those orders," snapped one of the men that had kidnapped me. I couldn't see anything considering I had, what felt like, a pillow case over my head. What I had absolutely no clue was who these people were and where they were taking me. What I do know is that there were, maybe, four of them. I also knew that they had thrown me into the back of a van. After spouting my last threat, I kept quiet so I could pay attention to the turns the van would make. I didn't know the area very well, but I could always find my way back by backtracking to the school, then home. First thing's first, I have to find a way to escape.
Once I felt the van's engine turn on, I paid close attention to when it would turn. It was slow as it exited the parking lot, probably not wanting to bring attention to itself. This van was probably disguised as a delivery truck or something that isn't suspicious like any old unmarked white van that pedophiles tend to drive.
I felt the van steer to the right then made a sharp left which made me roll onto my side and impact into something hard.
"Hey, someone keep her steady. We don't want the merchandise covered in bruises," said the ring leader when one of them walked over and sat by me with his hands on my shoulders.
I was about to go and yell, 'Hey, I don't bruise easily, bub!' But when I heard the word 'merchandise' I started thinking, ah shit. Could they be thinking of selling me to a pervert or something? That's when something even more disturbing came to mind. Today, during one of my classes, the teacher was talking about current events and one of them was about a sudden rise in kidnappings in the area. She had said that these kidnappers were actually working in a human trafficking ring and that they have yet to been caught.
"Don't fucking tell me that these guys are them?" I thought to myself as I tried to keep my panic down to a minimum. I started thinking about how the hell these guys managed to get into the school unnoticed. If they were disguised as delivery guys, then they'd only be allowed where the deliveries are made. As I tried to think out the possibilities, I continued to pay close attention to the direction the van was taking. It just made a left and then another left.
Let's see. They ambushed me in the club room and the only way in there is through the front double doors . . . unless they made their way in through the vents. Well, there's one mystery solved, now for the next one.
A right, left, then a hard right.
Knowing how exclusive Ouran is and how tight the security is, these guys had to have had someone on the inside in order to perform this sort of job. Could be either someone working in one of the offices, a teacher, or maybe even a student.
Left, right, and left again.
Another question running through my mind is, why me? Why wouldn't they go and kidnap one of the rich kids? Surely they'd fetch a hefty sum for one of them. I started thinking of all the possibilities of why it had to have been me and then it hit me. The person working for them in the school probably picks out their target and lends them a hand in getting them into the school. This person probably picked me or maybe Anya and Danny. They must have gotten me considering I was alone at the time, but who would recommend us?
Right, straight down for a mile or so then a slight left. Felt like a curve or something.
For some reason, I started thinking of the rotten red head girl from the club room that accused me of serving her the wrong tea. I kept thinking and processing my sudden solution. Thinking . . . thinking . . . thinking . . . oh that bitch!
They kept driving, what felt like, up a steep hill and then turning slightly to the left and then, a sudden stop.
"We're here," said one of the kidnappers.
"Good, bring her in." There goes the annoying sounding voice on the walkie-talkie.
"Hey, have any of you noticed how quiet she's gotten?" the one who was holding me down mentioned. Ah shit!
"Hmm? Yeah, you're right. Hey, girlie? What are you planning?" he questioned as he lifted me up by the neck line of my shirt. I didn't need to see in order to imagine the smug grin he was probably wearing. I sneered and let out a chuckle.
"Don't call me girlie if you know what's good for you," I threatened. That's when he loosened his grip and I fell flat on my ass. Ow, ow, ow, that fucking hurt! I yelled in my mind.
"Come on, let's get her inside before the boss gets too impatient," he ordered. I felt two of the guys grab an arm and started hauling me out of the van. Once I felt my feet reach the edge, I pretended to stumble forward and fall in a crouched position.
"Come one, get up," ordered one of them as he pulled me up from the ground and in doing so, I used that as leverage and jumped at the same time. Swinging both my arms, I hit the guy nearest me in the jaw, feeling satisfied when I heard a crack. Surprisingly enough, these guys weren't smart enough to tie the ropes around my legs correctly. They were so loose that the moment I was thrown into the van, they had slipped off.
"Hey, when did she . . ." one of them yelled in surprise when they saw their fallen partner on the ground. I heard one of their voices get closer and immediately ducked and swung my leg, tripping them. When I did that, the pillow case flew off my head and I was welcomed by a low gloomy light. I forgot that it was still cloudy today from the rain. I smiled and started bolting. From what I managed to see in those few seconds, we were out in the middle of nowhere. I started remembering the turns the van had made and started running downhill and into the forest. All the while, I kept hearing their ringleader barking orders.
On TV, I always wondered why people couldn't run correctly whenever their hands were bound by something. Well, now I knew why. As I ran, I managed to reach into my right pocket and fish out a box cutter that I always kept on hand whenever the situation called for it. I started cutting through the ropes and once I did, I could run freely. Once I was in the safety of the surrounding forest, I put away my box cutter and fished out my phone. Thank the Lord that I had a signal. It was only one bar, but it would have to do. Without any hesitation, I called the first person in my contacts.
Ring, ring, ring, ring . . .
"Yvee?"
"Anya! Thank God you answered. Dude, I think I got kidnapped by some people working in the human trafficking ring. They brought me up to some deserted hill." Before I could continue, I started hearing distant barks and shouts. Cursing under my breath, I started running. All the while, I could hear the panicked voices on the phone.
"Where's Yvee? She ok?" questioned Danny.
"Oh course she is! Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to call!" she snapped back. I rolled my eyes and continued to run through the forest. I was out of breath and my legs were starting to go numb. Thankfully, the adrenaline was the only thing keeping me from keeling over.
"Yvee? Yvee!" I heard the panicked voices on the other line. I was having a hard time trying to find my voice. There was more yelling on the other line and it sounded like Anya was having a tug-a-war with the phone.
"LET ME SPEAK TO MY DAUGHTER!"
"SHE'S NOT YOUR DAUGHTER YOU FUCKING PERVERT!" both Danny and Anya said simultaniously.
At some point, I think they dropped the phone while they were arguing and someone else picked it up.
"Yvee-chan, you okay?" asked Honey-sempai.
"D-define *pant* okay *pant*" I hated trying to talk and run at the same time. I do need to breath, ya know?
"You sound out of breath," I heard Kaoru state. They probably had me on speaker.
"Ya *pant* think?" I snapped. "Managed *pant* to *pant* escape."
As I ran through the forest, I tried to stay as close to the road as possible and not be seen, but considering they had dog on my trail, I had my doubts about getting away. All the while, I heard Danny and Anya arguing with Tamaki in the background while the twins and Honey tried to get directions out of me.
"You're not sure where you are, except for a hill surrounded by a forrest?" Hikaru had just repeated everything I told them.
"Ya *pant*"
"Ne, Kyouya-sempai, ya think you know where she could be?"
"I think I have a hunch. Ask if she knows who kidnapped her," he said. I was looking around frantically, trying to find a place to catch my breath. That's when I found a cave and quickly rushed into it. I stayed there, leaning up against the cave wall, hands on my knees, trying to get my heart rate back to safe levels.
"Yvee-chan?" I heard Honey-sempai's voice this time.
"Ya *pant* still here. Look, from what *pant* I can tell, I don't *pant* have much longer. I think *pant* I know who kidnapped me though. Human *pant* traffickers. Someone *pant* in the school . . . I think *pant* they work for them." I stopped a moment and let out a long sigh, finally catching up to my breath. "I think it's that girl with the red hair that I almost beat the snot out of today. She must have told them to kidnap me. I know, it sounds kind of rediculous, but I thought this over thoroughly. She's the only one who could have done it. Don't believe me, ask Kyouya, he'll probably come up with the same conclusion." There was silence on other line and I started to panic when I thought that I must have lost the signal. Then I heard a chuckle and the familiar annoyance caught up with me.
"Yes, I've thought it over as well and I think, you might be right," he said. I could already imagine that smug little grin of his and the glare of his glasses. Stupid Kyouya. "Don't worry, I think I know where you are and we'll be there to rescue you soon."
"Stupid, I'm not some damsel in destress in need of rescuing . . ." before I could finish what I was saying, I suddenly felt a sharp pain at the center of my back, mere inches away from where my spine was. I couldn't feel anything as my knees buckled and I fell onto the hard cave floor. I couldn't even find my voice so I could cuss out the person who was dumb enough to shoot me with a tranquilizer.
"Yvette? Yvette?" I could hear Kyouya's voice on the other line, but I couldn't respond. I was face down on the floor, the phone had slid away from my reach. I managed to turn my head enough to see the person standing at the cave entrence with a tranquilizer gun. He was laughing.
"I'm surprized that a mere girl like you was able to escape like that. It's a shame that in the end, you were still caught." He then stepped over me and picked up my phone. He brought it up to his ear and sneered, "Your friend here is going to fetch a pretty good sum. Perhaps a coupld grand?" he started laughing and then shut the phone, dropped it onto the cave floor then crushed it with his foot.
It was getting more and more difficult for me to keep my eyes open any longer. Last thing I remember was his manic laughter and him dragging me out of the cave by my shirt.
"I was hoping you wouldn't get any scratches or bruises. That'll decrease your value," was the last thing I heard him say before blacking out.
Crimzon: Sorry it's so short, but I wanted to leave it there. All in all, I kinda like it, but at the same time, I kinda don't . . . I dunno. I'll let all of you be the judge of that!
