Missing Clare

Chapter 5: "Trusting You to trust Me."

Eli's POV:

"Alright. Here it is." Bianca and I stood infront of a rusty swingset, eyeing it, like somehow an envelope would magically appear before us.

"Where the hell would it be?" Bianca was getting fustrated, I could tell. I sighed, mumbling an, "Idunno."

I was about to look under the seat, when I heard footsteps approach us.

"Looking for something?" My eyes grew wide at the voice I heard, just over my shoulder. Slowely, I turned, to see the one person I've been avoiding, the whole time.

"Fitz." Bianca snarled.

"Hey Bee, long time no see." Fitz smirked at her, and I grew tense. "And Eli.. Hows Clare?" I knew by the look on his face, he had something to do with Clare going missing.

"Where is she?" I charged after him, holding him against the brick building.

"Oh, wouldn't you like to know, Emo boy?" I felt his rough hands shove me away, and Bianca caught me by my back. "Eli.. Lets just go." She whispered in my ear, her voice trembling.

"Yeah, listen to the nice lady.." Fitz stroked Bianca's cheek, and she flinched. Who did he think he was?

"Listen," Fitz turned to me, and I narrowed my eyes at him. "If you want your ClareBear back, then Find her. But Good Luck." He chuckled, and walked away.

I was about to go after him, But Bianca pulled me back. "No, Eli, stay."

"Why? He's obviously the one who has Clare. We need to find her, we need to-"

"Eli! NO! That's exactly what he want's you to do. To follow him. Its a trap." I sighed. Bianca was right. How could I have been so stupid?

Bianca fell back onto the grass, and I sat beside her. "So," she mumbled. "What do we do now?"

I shrugged. "Tell the cops. It's our only option. I mean, we can't face Fitz alone, he'll-"

"No!" Bianca shrieked again, standing up from the ground. "We can't tell them!" I looked at her confusingly. "Why?"

"Because, I already have a criminal record. If they find out, if Fitz finds out, that we went to the police, he won't let it go. And, chances are, Clare is safer right now, then she'd be if Fitz finds out we went to the cops. He'd hurt her. And, we both know you don't want that."

She was right, Clare being even more hurt would kill me. "Alright, drama queen, I won't got to the po-po." I joked. "But.. What happened to your friend? The one that got hurt by Fitz?"

She sat back down, but didn't look at me. "Eli, can I tell you something?" There was seriousness in her voice, I knew this must be important. "Definitely."

She played around with the grass inbetween her fingers, but was silent. I finally spoke up, "This is the part where you tell me whats bugging you.." I smirked, trying to lighten the mood a little.

"Eli, Fitz, he.. hurt me." Bianca looked up at me, with big, brown eyes. "He raped me.." I stood there, unsure of what to say or do. I mean, c'mon, this was Bianca DeSousa. I barely knew her, but I knew enough to know that, right now, she needed a friend.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"He threatened me.. He knows too much. This is the reason why Im helping you. Clare, she's too innocent, too weak, she won't be able to stand up to him like I can."

I slumped down onto the grass. She's right, yet again. Clare is Clare, she's a saint, she can't handle a world like Bianca's. "alright, well, then, we're gunna find her. One way or another." I stood up, and helped Bianca up.

"And I think Fitz was clue #4." She chuckled, as we walked back to Morty Jr.

Nobody's POV:

Clare sat against a rock, shivering from the night's wind. She was wearing only the floral dress she had had on the night of the dance, just a week ago. That's how long it's been, since she was kidnapped by Fitz.

A whole Fucking week.

She looked around, trying to remember how she'd gotten in the woods, in the first place.

Then she remembered.

Flashback:

"Aww, Clare, it's ok, don't be frightened, it's only the woods." Fitz's voice made her stomache turn, causing her to puke a little in her mouth.

"Get. away. from. ME!" the helpless girl screamed, trying to push the man away. This only made him hold her tighter, and he slowely lifted the dress off of her bruised body. "Fitz, please, dont!"

Only a chuckle came from the strong man, as he inched his face closer to her's. Everything from there was just a fuzzy image in Clare's mind.

End Flashback

Clare shuddered at the flashback. Fitz had left her there in the woods, laying helpless and weak. She didn't know what else to do, but curl up in a ball, and cry herself to sleep.

The Next Morning-

Clare opened her eyes, to see the woods upon her. Memories of the night before cluddered the girl's mind, and she began to cry, yet again. Every bone in her body ached. Slowely, she lifted herself up from the ground, and began walking in a random direction, hoping to find some place to go.

She was walking for about 10 minutes, until she realized she was even deeper into the woods. She breathed heavily, looking around the dark forest.

Eh. Im not sure how this is going to end. But, whatever. Review~ ;D xoxo, Jadasophea.
