Scarlett's POV
I began walking down the hall with Niall by my side. He had a tight grip on my shirt probably making sure I couldn't run away. I began memorizing the house and which door led where. I was already planning my next escape.
We kept walking but then slowed down at an arch way that led into what seemed to be the living room. Sitting in the room was Harry, Louis, Liam and another boy who I didn't know the name of. Not wanting to be seen by them I did my best to hurry to where ever the kitchen was.
When we finally got to the kitchen I couldn't help but gasp. The kitchen was massive and no doubtedly filled with food!
"You can sit here;" Niall said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me onto the kitchen counter. I let out a small squeak when his hands touched me but I don't think he noticed. I wasn't use to being touched; especially by a guy. "What would you like, love?" Niall asked as he opened drawers and cupboards. "Umm... what's there to have?" I replied quietly, unsure of what to ask for. "Well you can have a sandwich, soup, pasta, cereal, I'm pretty sure we have some left over pizza in the fridge..." he said as he opened the fridge looking around. "I'll just have some pasta, i-if that's okay" I said awkwardly without making eye contact. "Sure!" Niall said as he reached into the cupboard for the pasta.
I watched closely as Niall boiled the water and add the pasta, and that's when I got an idea. Using as much courage as I could muster, I spoke "Niall?" I said in a cute sounding voice "can I go to the washroom? It's an emergency" I looked up at Niall and saw a conflicting look in his eyes. "but don't you want yo-" "Please!" I begged crossing my legs and making a face for emphasis. Niall frowned trying to make up his mind. Please work!
Niall turned off the stove and looked at me with a sigh, "follow me." I followed after him as he led me to the bathroom. I stepped into the small room, closing the door.
I surveyed the room and my eyes landed on a small window just above the toilet. Cautiously looking back at the door I notice a dark shadow under the door. "I can't go when you're standing there." I called out. In a matter of seconds the shadow moves away from the door. "just hurry up!"
I quickly peed, then went to the sink turning it on to make it sound like I was washing my hands. I left the water on and hurried over to the window, stepping onto the toilet and pulling the window open. "Are you almost done?" Niall called to me, "Almost!" I called back as I hoisted myself through the window.
Soon I was out the window and sneaking to the front yard. I passed another window and peaked in. it led into the living room where Harry, Louis, Liam and the other boy had sat but now only Harry and Liam sat there, brushing it off I continued to the front yard. The house was surrounded by a large fence and the gate was now in sight.
I suddenly went into a full on sprint towards the gate. I grabbed onto it and tried to pull it open but it wouldn't budge. I looked up to see a large padlock on the fence keeping it closed, my hands clenched in frustration before I quickly grabbed onto the fence again and began climbing up.
"Lettie? Lettie! SCARLETT!" I heard someone scream, and without turning around I already knew it was Louis. I began climbing faster trying to get over the fence before he could get me. I was about to jump off the fence when what was left of my pants got stuck on the fence. No no no! This can't be happening! Not now!
I managed to tear my pants free and jump off the fence just before Louis could grab at me. I winced a bit as my feet hit the ground; they were still wrapped in shreds of my pants.
Suckers!I began running down the street, "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME! I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED! MY NAME IS SCA-" I was cut off by someone tackling me to the ground. I looked up and came face to face with the boy that I didn't know the name of. "Please! You need to let me go! I've been kidnapped!" I said in a panic.
The boy got off of me and lifted me up. I smiled thinking he was going to let me go, but he didn't. He kept a firm grip on my arm until Louis and the other boys came.
"Lettie you can't just run away like that!" Louis scolded me as if I was a child. Up close he looked about twenty, only three years older than me. So who is he to think of me as a child?!
Louis and the boy I didn't know the name of began dragging back to the house. "STOP! LET ME GO!" I began struggling against them, doing my best to make a scene "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" "Could you stop screaming?!" the boy I didn't know the name of hissed as he slapped a hand over my mouth.
I let out a muffled yelp as his hand connected with my mouth. Well that probably just busted my lip!
Before I knew it I was back in the confines of the house, I clutched my hands into fists once again, this is hopeless can't run because they are always one step ahead of me.I was lead into a new room that I had never seen before. The boys left without a words and closed the door behind them.
My heart began to beat fast and my fingers twitched a bit. They hadn't stopped to lock the door, I had heard no key sound, they hadn't even stopped when the door closed. I decided to wait a few minutes to make sure they were away from the door before trying to open it.
What if it's a trickI thought to myself as my hand rested on the door knob what if they are just testing me to see if I'll run?I decided to push those thoughts aside and turn the knob.
I turned the knob but the door wouldn't open. What? Why won't the door open?!I jiggled the handle but still nothing. I examined the door and noticed there wasn't even a keyhole. What is this?!And that's when I realized it. It was a door that automatically locked from the outside.
I was once again locked in. I scanned to room and my eyes landed on a small window, I sighed in frustration when I got closer. It was too small for me to fit through, unless..I thought to myself if I lose weight I might be able to fit. But that will take time, a lot of time.
I walked over to the bed in the corner and sat down; losing weight will have to be my back up plan. Right now I need a plan that can be put into action in the next 24 hours.
I began to think about what to do next, when suddenly I heard a knock knock knockcoming from down stairs.
