Kidnapped!
By: BrittbeeLynn Chapter 4: Holiday
Relena ran to her room. She was ready to explode and she didn't think Jordan was a good person to push too far. He was obviously very strong from the way he had taken her blows the other night and not even flinched. She sat down and looked into the mirror. She was not having a good time. The other people her age hated her except for James and Jordan, whom she had started to have a crush on. But Jordan had turned out to be a total jerk. Relena went out to her balcony and looked down. Someone would most likely come looking for her soon. She didn't want to talk to anyone, so she jumped onto the ledge of the roof. Barely making it, she regained her balance and jumped about 6 feet to the ground. She ran to the stables and jumped, bareback, onto the first horse she saw. It was a black stallion. Relena had been raised with horses, so she was comfortable. It was just what she needed. The horse seemed to love her and nuzzled her hair as she got down and led it to the river she had found.
Jordan was surprised to find Relena's room deserted. Luckily for him, she had left her balcony door open and he entered the balcony expecting to see her. Unfortunately, all he found was an empty balcony. He ran downstairs to the ball and opened the doors.
"Relena's gone!" he shouted. "Find her."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and left immediately to do just that. Jordan made his way over to the college gang.
"If one hair on her head is harmed, you'll be VERY sorry. Find her now. She's outside somewhere." he said with quiet menacing. The gang looked startled. Jordan had always been their friend, but now he was mad at them for playing a few tricks on a new girl. What was going on?
"What's wrong with you?" Matt demanded.
"I saw what you almost did to her." he said to the now cleaned up Matt.
"We play tricks like that on everyone." he returned.
"Well you won't play them on Relena." Jordan retorted.
"Why is she more special than the rest of us?" Brandon asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Erin boldly spoke up. She was very shy and spoke very little.
"Not really." said a bored Matt. James was clenching his fists.
"He's in love." Erin replied with a touch of jealousy.
"What?" asked the three guys incredulously.
"Hn. Find her." Jordan replied.
They set out to do just that. Once outside, they went to the stables.
"Where's my horse!?!" Matt asked angrily.
"Relena." answered Erin.
"Let's split up." James replied tonelessly. He was still angry that the first beautiful girl ever to walk into his life was taken. They all jumped on their horses, except Matt who had to take an old fat horse, and rode off. Unfortunately for Relena, that old horse was the first to find her. She heard a noise and turned around. It was James, she thought. She walked over to him.
"Hi James. I'm sorry if I worried you. I just can't believe that Jordan actually thinks I'm going to like him after he forced me to come here away from my family and friends." she said sadly, looking into his eyes for forgiveness. Matt melted. What was it about this girl? Everyone was falling for her. he thought.
"I'd forgive you if I were James." he replied with amusement. Relena gasped and hopped on her horse. Without wasting a second, she was off and he was after her. They were evenly matched. James's horse was slow because it was out of shape, but Relena had no saddle and couldn't reach her maximum speed. Brandon saw the chase and joined in, but he was too far behind to catch Relena anytime soon. Erin was next to join in when she saw the two of them galloping after Relena. James discovered the chase a few minutes later and joined in. Relena was picking up speed, as she became used to the horse. It was in excellent shape and could run for miles without slacking it's pace if it had to, but just as Relena thought she'd outrun everyone, Jordan, came out of nowhere. To put it mildly, he was a very good horseman. Relena had only about a 10 second head start from Jordan and he quickly caught her. He slowly came up beside her. Relena swerved to the right and continued, but he was right beside her in a matter of minutes. This time, he didn't fool around; he grabbed her waist with amazing strength and pulled her onto his horse. He placed her in front of him and slowed his horse, allowing Matt's horse to go back to the stables on its own. Relena waited for the horse to almost stop when she elbowed Jordan and hopped down. She took off towards the forest and Jordan had no option but to follow. I'm going soft, he thought. I should have been able to keep her. The college gang came up in time to see Jordan heading towards the woods and decided to help out. They dismounted and headed off towards Relena.
Unfortunately for Relena, she hadn't changed and was still in her gown. It was now covered in dust and dirt. Relena was sweating and exhausted, but she was determined not be captured again. She decided to circle around and go back to her room. Surely no one would look for her there. Jordan quickly caught up with her on foot, but kept his distance. She's a clever one, he thought, when he saw that she was making her way towards his castle. If he hadn't been especially trained for this kind of stuff, he'd be back there with the other college kids looking for her. Relena looked both ways and made a dash for the castle. Once there, she made a direct, but secretive route to her room. She went in and locked the door.
"Hello Relena." Jordan's voice startled Relena. How had he known where she was?
"What are you doing here?" she asked with disgust.
"It's my castle." he replied tonelessly.
"I didn't ask to be here, please leave." she replied with an equally toneless voice.
"I only wanted to give you a holiday from your work. The shine is gone from your beautiful eyes." he replied with a flicker of emotion.
"You call this a holiday?" she asked tartly.
"Well, I guess I haven't been a great host, but yes, it's a holiday."
"You've got that right!" she retorted.
"Perhaps you've forgotten who is the boss here. I am in charge and you need to show some respect."
"What do you want from me?" she asked exasperated and scared.
"You'll see, all in good time." he replied mysteriously.
"Uggggg! Either you leave this room, or I'll leave, take your pick!"
"You won't leave until I say so," he said in his usual toneless voice. Relena ran to the door and started down the hall. She was so mad at this guy! In a flash, he grabbed her waist with one arm and her hands with his other hand. She kicked him and struggled to get away, but was no match against his brute strength.
He watched her struggle silently, blocking her blows, and trying not to hurt her. Finally, she exhausted herself and slumped in his arms. Had he not been there, she would have fallen to the ground. She looked up into his eyes and asked, "Why?" He ignored her and placed her on her bed. He pulled her comforter up to her chin and kissed her forehead.
"Get some rest," he said huskily. Relena didn't reply, she fell into an exhausted slumber.
Jordan walked out of her room and started downstairs.
