Chapter 9
I wake up in a small cabin like area tied to a chair. I try to turn my head but it's so painful I almost yell out. I don't though because I don't want the person who put me here to know I'm hurt. I slowly look out of the corner of my eye and see nobody else there. In the corner of the small room in the cabin and see a baseball bat that he must've knocked me out with. My arms and legs are tightly binded to the chair and the rope is cutting off circulation to my hands and feet. I see a figure in the small kitchen of the room looking like they're organizing the cupboard. The man is wearing the same sweatshirt, I think. He killed Macala. The man looks toward me. He's wearing a mask.
"Took you long enough to wake up. I'll go get your friend. Don't get any brilliant ideas." He walks to the other room and grabs Mindy. She's gagged and bright pink. He throws her on the floor and looks at me.
"There you are. Not dead, terrified you had to see all of this in your very short lifetime." I'm too petrified to even blink. I figure to wait this man out and have the cops come for him. "I guess I can kill you after I explain everything but you have to be silent to listen. If you speak, you die." He goes to Mindy and takes the gag out of her mouth. "I guess you should know who I am first, right?" He asks. Me and Mindy both nod our heads. He takes his mask off and I look into the unforgiving eyes of Austin. "Now, let's start at the beginning."
