It took awhile but here is your new chapter! It's kind of short, so sorry about that. I've had a lot to do and a bit of a writer's block. It probably isn't as good as the last chapter but, enjoy!

Chapter 6
Meredith woke up to find herself in the dark with both her hands and feet bounded together.
There was a sharp pain coming from the back of her head. The memories of what had happened were blurred and unclear. All that she could remember was that she was shopping in Nordstrom with Derek and then a whole bunch of events happened, all of them a blur, before she woke up to where she was now.
She sat in silence for what seemed to hours, coming up with a plan on what to do, before she heard footsteps walk closer.
Light from the outside crept into the room as her captor opened the door to the room that she was held in.
"Ahh! You're awake." From the sound of the voice, Meredith could tell that her captor was male, but it sounded like his voice was unnaturally deeper, as if to disguise his real voice.
"Who are you!" Meredith asked, very loudly. "And what do you want?"
"Shhhh… Quiet. You'll alert my neighbors." He said, walking towards her. "Here, sleep…" His hand quickly darted out and covered her mouth with some kind of cloth. Meredith could smell the chloroform reeking from it and started to struggle against him, to try to wiggle away. But she could feel her eyelids growing heavier and heavier.
He grinned evilly as she unwillingly slumped back into his arms. She will finally be his.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"MEREDITH'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!" Derek shouted at Meredith's roommates.
They stared at him, still stunned.
Only moments ago, he had burst through the kitchen door, waving a scrap of paper and Meredith's purse around like a crazy man.
"Wait!" Izzie said. "Meredith has been kidnapped?"
"Wha… Huh? How?" George asked confusedly. "How is this possible? How did it happen? Are you sure she's missing?"
"Yes, I'm sure! I don't know how it happened though." Derek said sadly. "All I know is that I went to get coffee for the both of us and then when I went back to where Meredith was looking for dresses, I found her purse and this piece of paper there. Her full purse with her wallet, money, and credit cards and this piece of paper that says 'help' 'kidnapped' on it! Not to mention we drove together and I have the keys! So I'm pretty sure she's not just playing a joke on me!"
"Oh." Izzie was shocked to see Dr. Shepard, a level-headed surgeon, so panicked and frenzied.
"So what are we going to do?" Derek asked, pacing around the kitchen.
"The first thing we should do is contact the police." George said unnervingly calm.
"Okay then, let's go down to the police station." Izzie said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry, but we can't do anything until the person has been missing for 24 hours." The officer told them.
"We said she was kidnapped, not missing!" Derek shouted at the officer.
"Sir, please calm down." The officer said. "Fine. Do you have proof that she's been kidnapped?"
"Well I think this piece of paper that says 'help' 'kidnapped' classifies as proof that she's been kidnapped!" Derek said, getting very frustrated.
"Sir, we will do everything we can to find your fiancé, but you will have to calm down." The officer told Derek, who had started pacing in front of her desk.
"Jeez, Dr. Shepard. She's right, you need to calm down." Izzie informed Derek. "I think you're beginning to scare the people around us."
Sure enough, the officers and many random people who happen to be at the same station as them were staring at Derek who, at the time, looked a little demented.
"Fine." Derek said, letting out a little growl of annoyance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once he knocked her out, he quickly picked her up and brought her to his red pick-up truck, ready to move her to the next location.
He propped her in the front passenger seat. Knowing that the chloroform would keep her unconscious for hours to come, he unbounded her restraints and adjusted her to look as if she were merely sleeping.
The engine roared to life as he turned the key in the ignition. Looking into his rearview mirror, he backed out of his driveway. He drove down the street like nothing out of the ordinary and waved to his neighbors as he passed by.
He rolled to a stop when he reached his destination.
Picking Meredith up as if she was as light as a doll, he put her in the firemen's carry and lifted her to through the door he had opened seconds before.
He placed her on the mattress that was sitting in the middle of the room, walked over the light bulb and pulled the cord. Light flooded the almost barren room. A lone chair rested near the mattress.
He sat in that chair as he watched her as she slept with her back facing him.
For hours he sat there, silently and still, watching the girl of his dreams sleep away the day.
She started to stir.
The light blinded Meredith as she woke up. Blinking her eyes and using her hands to shield them from the protruding light, she tried to look around.
She turned around to look at what she couldn't see.
She gasped at the sight before her as her eyes adjusted to the lights.
Meredith was shocked. How could someone she knew do this to her? And someone she thought she knew. But she scolded herself for overreacting. She had to find out the truth first.
Still a little stunned Meredith asked, "Oh my god. What are you doing here, -"

Oooohh! Another cliffie! Let's see you top this chapter chelseagrey! Mwhahaha! Revenge for making it so hard for me to write this chapter because of your cliffhanger in the last chapter! Now you have to continue the next chapter!
LOL. Well anyways… moving on!
It was super cool that so many people reviewed. (lol. I don't really say that.) There were some people who we couldn't reply to for their reviews so here ya go:
BabyBlue- Thank you so much for your review. I doubt it's the best story ever but we're glad you think it is.
Anonymous- lol. Well we're happy to update it just takes us a while sometimes, like this time. I'm sorry but you'll have to wait at least another chapter to find out who the stalker is. You never know, maybe the kidnapper isn't even her stalker. Hmmm… there's a thought. And the jury is still out on whether Meredith should change her last name to Shepard. But thank you very, very much for your review.
Emmy- Thanks! Well we've updated and we hope you liked this chapter too.
amazinggrace1212- Awww! Thanks. But the credit about being a fabulous author goes to Chelseagrey (the other co-author of this story, I'm Fanficaddict). She's the best author of the two of us. She won't believe me! Shocking I know. She even wrote the last chapter which according to your review, you really liked. So the props go to Chelseagrey.
Fiora- Um, I'll have to consult with my co-author about the translating to German part but, thank you a lot for your review. We are really glad you liked it.
boo hoo- No. We are going to finish the story. One way or another this story will be finished. And as for the killer, you'll have to read and find out who he or she is. (I think we said it was a he. I'm not sure though so it'll be a he or she for now.)
On the behalf of chelseagrey, she and I would like to personally thank everyone who reviewed. It's awesome to see that people do in fact like some we've written. It just makes me happy to see so many positive reviews! We hope you keep up with even more positive reviews! XD LOL
Your very happy co-authors,
Fanficaddict and Chelseagrey
