Chapter Something
Time Means Shadows That Move Across the Walls
Ren stared at her phone, glancing at the clock every three seconds. She couldn't find Ruby anywhere no matter how hard she looked. She checked the school, work, home, everything and still Ruby was no where to be found.
"Ren dear," Mrs. Stevens said entering her daughters room. "It's late; you need sleep for school tomorrow."
Ren looked at her mom and shook her head. "I have to stay up. What if Ruby is in danger?"
Mrs. Stevens chuckled. "Ren honey, please, I know how much you care about Ruby but I believe she is in no danger now get yourself into bed." She kissed her daughters forehead and left the room.
Ren sighed. Her mother was right. Ren would see Ruby tomorrow. Well, maybe.
The next day at school Ruby wasn't there. Ren started to panic. She hurried to Mr. Wexler's (please tell me if I didn't spell that right.) office. She entered in such a hurry, it took him by surprise.
"Mr. Wexler we have to find Ruby!"
It took him a couple seconds to realize what Ren was saying. Then, he replied. "We received a call from her cousin in Montana. She's not coming back."
Ren raised a brow. Ruby never mentioned a cousin in Montana. "That's impossible."
"Oh, Miss Stevens, it is possible."
"But she never mentioned a cousin before!"
"What ever Ren, third period is about to began. Move along." He then turned to his papers and began to shuffle through them. Ren didn't go.
"No."
He looked up at her. "Excuse me?"
"No I will not go. Please Mr. Wexler, after everything I have done for you can't you just once please help me?"
They both stared at each other.
Finally, Mr. Wexler picked up the phone and dialed a number. He put the phone to his ear and the speaker to his mouth. "Yes, Police? Hello, we have a girl with the first name Ruby who has been missing since yesterday. Yes. Last time we heard from her? Well, her cousin from Montana called. Said she wouldn't be coming back but her friend has informed me that there is no such cousin. Yes. Alright then, thank you." He hung up the phone and smiled at Ren. "Happy?"
She smiled and nodded. "Thank you Mr. Wexler! I owe you a ton!" She then turned around and ran out the door. Mr. Wexler just smiled and shook his head.
Ruby stared into the dark, cold, empty room where she awoke to. She lay on the hard stone floor, her fingers running against a piece of paper which had been slipped into her hand. She didn't remember much. All she could remember was that after _____ threw her against a wall became unconscious. Had he done something to her while she was unconscious? Terrified, she sat up and glanced around. She still couldn't see a thing. Where was she?
"Ah, my darling. Hello," Said a familiar voice. "Sleep well?"
She stood up and felt her way around the room. She soon found the stone wall and noticed a medium size hole in the wall. Ricky stood on the other end and smiled.
"Hello." He said.
"What have you done to me?" She demanded.
"Welcome home."
She glared at him. "I'm calling the police," she reached for her cell phone but when she reached for it, it wasn't there. She quickly looked up at him and watched as he dangled her cell phone in his hands.
He laughed. "I used this lovely cell phone to call your school and tell your dumb fat principal that you'll be staying with me---your cousin."
"But you're not my cousin!"
"Exactly."
"You creep!"
"Ahem. Don't use that tone with me little girl. You fell into a trap and now no one will ever know who Ruby was." He then turned around and began to walk away.
"Where do you think you're going?" Ruby asked frustrated.
He turned around to her and raised a brow. "I'm getting things ready for us tonight." He winked and walked off leaving Ruby alone.
She cried all night until he finally came back to get her, but he took her into his room. She didn't notice a knife rested on the top shelf of the closet.
"Ren, they know where Ruby might be. Come on." Mrs. Steven's said grabbing Ren from her bed and headed her into the car. "I just watched the news and then they called me. We're going to get Ruby. We're going to try to save her."
All Ren could do was nod and enter the car hoping that they'd make it in time.
(Poll; Do you think Ruby should be rescued alive, or dead? It depends on your answers. Answer in the review.)
(I decided to give a little brief information about what's going on with moi. Not only have I been bombarded with homework, but I have midterms coming up. So, I'll try to write. I just get distracted and forget about the story so keep reminding me. I also wanted to tell you that I have my very own online journal. It's located at; www.greatestjournal.com/users/childish_grin so go check it out! I think it's funny that I'm talking about myself in my own story but I really think it's pretty neat. I also need some advice about the real world out there so if you can just tell me in my journal. I would love to have my readers as friends. :] But, if I don't write the story after midterms (21-23) then email me at unwantedfigure@aol.com demanding me to update my story. Or you can also IM me at Pluto1789 or B4ndgeek07. Well, I don't want to waste a ton of room about myself so I'll stop. In my next review, I'll keep you updated about my boring uncool life! Peace.)
