"Finally you're awake." A voice said from somewhere in the darkness that filled the cold room Sodapop Curtis was in. Soda's heart pounded in his chest as the person who had spoken to him circled him like an animal would right before it pounced on it's prey.
"Please …" Soda begged in a panicked voice. "Don't hurt me!"
Smack!
"Do not speak unless I say it is okay for you to do so!"
Soda didn't know what scared him the most. The slap to the face, or the fact that this guy was absolutely insane!
"I've been watching you for a long time now." The young man told Soda in a much calmer tone of voice. "It was so hard …" He whispered.
Soda swallowed nervously before asking in a shaky voice, "What? What was so hard?"
The obviously disturbed man stared at Soda, studying him before explaining. "Watching those girls … Those stupid girls!" His voice was rising with anger. He was losing it quickly. "They followed you around day after day after day!" The psychotic man knelt down next to Soda on the floor. He was close enough that Soda could recognize his kidnapper's face, even in the darkness of what he thought was a basement of some sort.
"I'm sorry." Soda whispered out of fear for his life. "I'm so, so sorry."
David Pierce laughed and shook his head at Soda as if he knew he was lying.
"You're not sorry Soda, but you will be." David reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out a blade. He flipped it open almost as fast as Two-Bit can.
"No please!" Soda screamed in fear as he pushed himself away from his psychotic classmate, ignoring the pain that it caused him from the injuries he had received earlier. "I'm sorry!"
David grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pushed him to the floor so that he was lying on his back. "Shut up!" David demanded as he got on top of Soda and straddled his thin waist. "I told you already that you are NOT sorry!" Soda couldn't help it, tears streamed down his handsome face and he shook with fear.
David wiped the tears away with his thumb and shushed him in almost a comforting sort of matter. "Shhh, Soda. It's alright." He took the knife and started to cut Soda's DX shirt off. "It'll be alright. I promise."
Soda watched with fearful eyes as his work shirt was slowly cut off to expose his bare chest. "You'll like it."
"Soda wake up! You're having a nightmare! Wake up!" Ponyboy yelled as he roughly shook his older brother in a desperate attempt to wake him. Soda's eyes snapped open and he sat straight up in bed. He looked around the room with wide panicked eyes before he slowly realized where he was.
I'm home, Soda thought, I'm home in bed. He looked over at his younger brother who was staring at him with concerned greenish gray eyes.
"Are you okay Soda?" Ponyboy asked so quietly that it was almost in a whisper.
"Yeah …" Soda answered in the same quiet tone Ponyboy had used.
"Are you sure?" Pony asked with worry practically dripping off his words. "You were crying, ya' know …"
I was? Soda thought as he brought his hand up to his face to wipe away the wet trail the tears had left behind. I was crying in my sleep..?
Soda looked out the window as thunder rumbled on overhead. It was still raining …
"Let's go back to sleep Soda."
