-1Ch.5: Melody and her Angel
"I'm sorry to do this to you my dear but I must make sure you don't fight nor can you be heard." he whispered to her. As he tied her feet together The he took Some of the duck tape that was laying on her desk and covered her mouth with it then he searched her drawers and got some of her clothes and packed the in to one of the old book bags and then grabbed her and threw her on to his shoulder and walked out. At this time of day Taraneh was surprised not to see a soul outside usually there are kids outside being watch by their parents from the windows or porch but today there was no one around at all.
He softly laid her in the back of a black ford mustang with dark tinted windows. Then shut the door and open the front driver door and tossed her bag in and then took a note and walked back to the house and placed it on the door with tape. When he got back to the car he closed his door and started it and drove away. "I'm really sorry I had to tie you up my dear Tara but you'll understand why when we get home." he said to her and she knew she couldn't say anything she could try but he wouldn't understand it and she was scared by what he meant and didn't want to get him mad and she silently cried in the back seat.
After what seemed like hours the man finally stopped the car and turned off the ignition. He got out and grabbed her bag then opened the back door and pulled her out and put her back over his shoulder. Taraneh looked around at her surrounds and she recognized it as the back parking lot of the Broward Center of the Performing Arts. The man had his cloak's hood on again and he was carrying her into the theatre. Once inside he brought here down to the basement there a white horse stood waiting. The man put Taraneh on the horse then climbed on and straightened Taraneh up and faced her towards him. "Soon my dear we'll be home and you will be able to talk to me there." The man said in a calm voice. Tara tried to look at her surrounds but it was too dark and she know knew she wouldn't be able to escape even if she could she'd get lost down here. They horse stopped and the man jumped down then pulled Tara off the horse and placed her softly in the boat. Then jumped in and began to row.
Once he reached a dock he jumped out and tied the boat to the dock and grabbed Tara and brought her to a room with a canopied bed and set her down on it and slowly pulled the duck tape from her mouth. "Why have you brought me here and How do you know my name and calling this my home and calling me dear?" Tara cried. The man took a deep breath and lit some candle to brighten the room then removed his hood. Tara saw that the man wore half a white mask that covered the right side of his face. "Dear, dear Taraneh I have brought you here so I can have melody again and this is now your home as well as the one that I took you from." he said walking to her and touching her face with his black gloved hands. "I'm not going to stay here and what do you mean you can have melody again." Tara said. "You will stay here tonight and go home Tomorrow night." He yelled. Tara didn't argue and she tried to hold back her tears but she was overwhelmed with fear and couldn't help but cry. The man looked at Tara and said "Cry all you want only I can hear you and your tears won't soften me up." His tone was harsh and his eyes blazed with anger. Tara looked at her captive with loathing, tears still streaming from her eyes. "Why don't you just kill me or do what ever you want to do to me?" Tara hissed to her captive. "I don't want you dead I need you perfectly alive or my plans will be ruined." he said slyly. Then walked out of a door and left Tara there crying still tied up. Her captive came back and untied her feet then her wrist. "Taraneh, I'm sorry I have a short temper please forgive me." he said calmly. Taraneh look at her captive her eyes were dry . "Please talk to your Angel." he pleaded.
