I took a deep breath, it's okay Reed. You're going to be okay. I knew I was going to be okay in my brain. But my gut was giving me a different reaction due to all the twisting and turning it's been doing. Josh grabbed ahold of my hand again and brought me close to him as we walked through the cave. I looked up at him. Through his eyes, I knew he was feeling the same way I was. The figure stopped and we were at a door. He opened it up and we hesitantly walked in. What the hell was a door doing here in a bunch of rocks and mountains? Were people in Italy just crazy like that? Because there were people crazy enough to capture untouchable Noelle Lange and her boyfriend. The person, who will now be known as the grim reaper, opened the door and exposed a office/department/dump. It had a desk and a table light set on it, shining, the only light coming from the room. There was another door, which I guess, led to the rest of the building. People probably came here to pay to see this all. I wouldn't pay to see this. It's horrible. Especially that Noelle and Dash were curled up in the corner, looking hopeless and exhausted.
"Reed!" She tried to shout. She was stopped from getting up when the door behind me slammed shut. I whirled around the same time Josh did. A girl was sleek black hair and tan waxy skin looked into my eyes.
"It's been a while... Reed." She spat out.
"Sabine?" I shouted. "Why are you doing this?"
"Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this!?" I am only doing this for one reason." She looked me dead in the eye. I tried my hardest not to look away.
"Me?" I chocked out.
"Was it that obvious?" She asked in a sarcastic voice.
I gulped. The grim reaper stepped toward me and Josh.
"Take care of her, I'll help." She looked me up and down like I was some kind of dirty dish rag.
He grabbed me and she laughed. "NO!" I screamed.
"Get off of her!" Josh shouted. He punched Grim in the nose. That didn't do much because he began to tug on me a little harder.
"Josh! Help me, Josh, please." I begged.
"Don't take her. Take me." Josh stuck his head up high.
"I don't care if you go stab yourself on your own, I want to watch Reed be killed." Sabine's frosted look shot over to me and pierced holes in my face. I was stinging all over. All I wanted to was to be back in the hotel, in my bed. I wanted to be with my parents. Who were probably really confused right now. I wanted to be back at Easton. Were there wasn't this much danger. I wanted to leave. I wanted to be anywhere but here.
Josh grabbed onto my waist and tried to pull me back. I was going to be broken into two. I felt myself ripping.
"Stop!" I shrieked.
Josh instantly let go of me and Grim loosed his grip.I was able to free myself quickly and I ran to Josh's arms. I buried my face into his chest. He pulled me to him tightly.
"Fine, put them in a room. I don't want to see her face right now. We'll finish her off at dawn. Throw the others off to the ocean. Nobody will dare look there." She barked her orders to her accomplice.
She was out of the room in a flash. And the Grim took me and Josh roughly into an other room in the office building. I counted, we where 5 doors away from Noelle and Dash. Sabine must of been sleeping somewhere else.
When me and Josh were in the room, I ran to him and didn't cry. I just wanted to be in his arms. I put my head on his chest and felt warm all the way to my toes. He kissed me on the head, all over my face, my exposed shoulders, my neck.
"I thought I was going to loose you." He said looking at my lips, out of breath.
"I'm here." I told him and tightened my arms around his neck. "I'm here."
I leaned in and gave him a kiss.
"Reed, if anything does happen to us--"
"Nothing will happen to us."
"Reed. Just in case. You know how much I love you right?"
"Yes. I do." I smiled.
"More than anything. That's why you're everything to me. If she lays another hand on you, I don't think I will be able to control myself. I don't want to see you in any kind of pain. Nothing at all."
"Josh, don't waste your life on me. If something every happened to me, and you got out. I want to you move on. I want you to find someone else to be with forever. I don't want you to be lonely at all." I was close to tears. "It'll be hard to see you with another girl, but I want you to be happy. That's all I want, Josh." A tear trickled down my cheek.
Josh kissed me intensely. "That can't happen."
"Josh."
He was silent. We both knew we were going to be stuck here for a while. We both knew it and were not looking forward to it.
"And if something happens to me. Move on. I want you to be happy too. Then I'll be happy. I'm only happy if you are." He said, his eyes half open. His lips were red from kissing me so much. I couldn't help but to kiss him were I could, that spot on his shoulder. I gently put my head there and breathed in his scent. I felt like I wasn't even here anymore. It's amazing what he can do to me.
"I love you, Josh." I said between kisses.
"I love you too, Reed." He breathed out. "More than anything."
I started to cry. This was the end. I knew, there was no way anyone would be able to realize we were here. I was going to be killed. My friends are going to be thrown off a cliff. The love of my life is going to die. I sobbed out. Josh held me close to him. We sat on the floor together. There was a small air mattress on the floor that Sabine left for us. How much do you want to bet she infested it with something?
I didn't care, I sat down on it anyways. I just was so tired. I wanted this to be a dream. I wanted to wake up and have Noelle, Dash, Josh, and I all back in the hotel. Not being touched. Not being touched at all.
The next morning we woke up to the sound of a whip. We couldn't get out of the room.
"Shut up! Are you trying to cheat on me?!" I knew that voice. It was Noelle. She sounded pissed.
"Noelle! She freaking raped me!" Dash replied shouting and begging.
"She rapped me my ass. You did that all on your own. Well, if you get out of here, so do I!" Noelle roared.
"Shut up you filthy bitch!" Sabine shouted.
"Excuse me? I'm not the disturbed creep who is keeping four teenagers in a cave." Noelle exclaimed.
"Don't forget what I can do to you..." Sabine spat.
We couldn't hear anything after that. I wanted to break down the door and just run.
Noelle somehow got out while Sabine was sleeping. She came to our room. After spending 5 minutes picking the lock with her bobbie pin, she got in. I ran up to her and hugged her.
"Noelle!" I smiled.
"Shhhh! Keep it down, I don't know about you, but I don't want that psycho bitch strangling us."
I rolled my eyes. "Well no shit."
She told us how Sabine captured them. It wasn't even Sabine. There were three guys twice there size that grabbed them. She wasn't aware of it. They brought her and Dash to this cave, and Sabine told them she wanted me. And they've been here ever since.
"Oh, and I bet I lost a good 10 pounds because we don't get much food. It's like a flipping concentration camp." She scoffed.
"Do you have any idea how we could get out of here?" I whispered.
"Well," She leaned forward. "She's got the front door boarded off. I guess this place closed down last year... I think there's some kind of window we could crawl through. Then, we'd have to climb around the mountains and get back to civilization. But wait... do either of you have your phones?" Noelle asked.
Josh's face lit up. He felt through his pocket before pulling out his phone and opening it. "I barely have any service." He said.
"How much?"
"One bar." He pursed his lips. "Should I try texting my mom? She's probably so worried about me."
"Quietly."
He started texting away. I let out a sigh of relief. We were getting out. I wasn't going to be killed.
"She texted back!" He whispered.
"I'm gunna go get back, just incase miss PMS wakes up. Later." She quietly got out and tried re-locking the door. I couldn't even hear her walk away.
"What is your mom saying?" I scooted closer to Josh.
"She's asking me where I am."
"Well, tell her!" I hissed.
"Reed!" Shouted an angry voice.
I cursed under my breath.
Sabine stormed into our room and smiled. "It's your turn."
I looked down at Josh, his phone was out of sight. He gave me a quick wink. I wouldn't of been able to see it if I blinked. I was shaking as I walked up to see her.
She grabbed my arm aggressively. And I didn't even try to pull away. She was holding a knife.
It's okay, she can't touch you. Help is coming.
I tried to calm myself with those words. But they weren't helping, I was starting to loss hope. But wait, I can't give up now!
Sabine brought me into the rock dome that I first entered the cave in.
I gulped as Sabine turned and fished her knife out of her coat. She turned around and gave me a smirk. That is when I saw her grabbing my wrist.
"No!" I screamed. I yanked away from her grasp. Noelle came up out of nowhere and jumped on her back. Dash was punching out the Grim, and Josh was just running in.
"Noelle!" I shouted.
"Reed, grab her knife!" But it was too late, Sabine had already threw Noelle over her shoulder and pointed her knife to her.
"I'll finish you off once I get her." She roared. The Grim was on the floor, weak, Dash must of built up all the strength he could to knock him out. I couldn't of loved him anymore.
"Josh!" I shouted, he turned his head as Sabine grabbed me and tried to drag me away from the scene.
"Reed!" He screamed.
"Reed!" Noelle added, they both came after me and easily stopped Sabine from pulling me into a different room.
"Get off!" Sabine waved her knife at them, they both backed away.
I tried to worm myself free, but her grasp was too strong. She brought me into an office. There was a desk she pushed me against. I gasped for air, losing it all. I didn't get how this could of happened. Wasn't I just in the hotel? Just in Josh's car? Wasn't I just at Easton? I couldn't keep track anymore. It felt like I was held like this forever. Even though I know we found this place last night.
"Sabine," I said.
"Don't talk!" She snarled. She grabbed me with both hands on the sides and pinned me up against the desk.
"Don't do this." I gaged.
"Shut up, I've waited so long to do this. You deserve to be dead, you don't deserve anything but that. You selfish bitch. I've watched you get showered with presents and compliments from these people called your friends. You don't know this, their all fake. They don't like you. It's all for popularity. Noelle only hangs out with you because she needs the charity points. But I've heard her talk about you, Reed. I've heard her."
"You're lying!" I screamed.
"Oh really, do you want me to explain?" She asked calmly.
"Stop!" I demanded.
"Okay, I'll stop talking... just cut to the chase." With a sudden swing, she had the knife in her hand.
"Sabine, don't do this..." I begged.
"Too bad, it's just too much fun."
I tried to struggle, pushing the arm with the knife away. She was so strong though, I used all the muscle I could. She was getting pissed because I wasn't going down without a fight.
"Stop this, the more you struggle, the more pissed off I get. You do not want to get me pissed off." She snarled through her teeth.
I saw shuffling behind the door. More than the two bodies I had become familiar to. More of them were there. I was pretty sure it was just the people I need.
"I wouldn't start this now." I pointed out.
"Why not? This will only hurt," She looked to the side and chuckled, "A lot."
She slowly started to slide the blade of her knife into my stomach. I had the sudden urge to pee and I was in so much pain.
"See, Reed, I'm not going to just cut this short and stab you in the heart. I want you to die a slow, painful death. So it'll just top your ride to hell." She was smiling the whole time.
"No! Stop it!" I shouted. I kicked and tried as much as I could. I was loosing strength. I was blurring in and out. I couldn't fight anymore. This was how I was going to die. I started to cry. I didn't get to tell my parents how much I loved them, I didn't tell Scott how much he meant to me. I didn't get to see me dog one last time. I couldn't ever touch the ivy that lined the exterior walls of Billings. I couldn't play soccer ever again.
"Sabine, I'm sorry! I never did anything to your sister." I apologized... sorta.
"You did a shit load of damage to my sister. You're the reason she doesn't sleep! You're the reason she's the way she is."
"No, she was born a physicotic path bitch!" I screamed. I was breaking out in a cold sweat. I couldn't feel my legs. I screamed out in pain. What happened to those people behind the door? Why did they leave me? What did I do to deserve this? Was the girl right, was I just a fake?
I heard a huge crack and I thought it was somehow my break from the Earth.
"Drop the knife!" I heard a man shout.
Someone rushed up to me and grabbed my head. Sabine was grabbed off of me. The knife went with her. My blood seemed to rush out of my body as if it was on fire.
"Ohmygod." I whispered. I was going to die. I was going to die in whom ever's arms I was in.
"Reed, don't go. Hang on Reed, I can't loose you." I heard the faint sentence.
It felt like I had ear plugs on. I was put in a stretcher and I felt myself floating on air. Hitting bumps along the way. Everything was turning into blackness. My eyes tried to close themselves telling me, give up already, you're dead. I wasn't dead, not yet. I couldn't be. I fought, as much as I could. Because I knew it's what my mom would want, I knew my dad wouldn't want to loose me. I knew Noelle wouldn't be able to loose me. I knew Josh wouldn't function without me. And I did it for the Billings girls. Because they have became my family, and even though something as big as this has happened, I knew another death to them would just be horrible. I couldn't do that to them, so I sucked up all my energy and tried to not go to a sleep I could not wake up from. When we got out of the cave I was blinded by the light. Not used to it at all. I felt news reporters surrounding the scene. Italian words being shot at me. I just wanted to go home at that moment. I wanted to be with my parents and brother, they wouldn't ask me a billion questions, they wouldn't care. I didn't want anyone but them. I was pulled into an ambulance and I could feel it moving away. Someone put their hand in mine and gave it a squeeze. Someone was crying, I couldn't hear faint shouts. Hope was lacking at the moment. I felt the oxygen mask put over my mouth and nose. I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I closed them and fell into a much needed sleep.
better start now
I am soo soo so so so so so so so so so so so so ! :(
I haven't touched this thing for the longest time, but my life has really picked up in the sped. And I couldn't find any time to do this. And I got a new computer so all my from previous chapters couldn't be recognized. I'm taking more vacations to, but I sound like an idiot now. So I hope you all forgive me. Please review, because I haven't been getting a lot. Which is going to cut this story short. It's probably going to end in like a few chapters.
So please please please find it in your heart to review :)
Well, this was a very dramatic chapter, i don't really like it to tell you the truth.
Ehh, so this is probably my last fan fiction story.
