Chapter 7

Brittany woke up. Today was her first day back at school. She'd been missing too much. Brittany didn't want to go to school without Santana though. She kept expecting the familiar knock on the door to come to signal her time to walk to the bus stop with San. It just seemed really unreal that Santana wasn't here to walk with her.

Brittany dressed into her cheerios uniform and then pulled her hair into a tight ponytail. She put on some makeup and was out the door.

The bus pulled up to her bus stop and she got inside. She was the first one on the bus. She chose a seat near the back where she and Santana used to sit. She needed to clear her mind if she was going to get anything done at school.

Santana continued to scream. Some unbearable pain had been caused to her right arm. She couldn't tell what it was. Still half asleep, Santana's senses had not all awoken yet. She couldn't smell the smoke or see the burning red glare around her. Suddenly she jerked like in that moment when you have a short dream about falling. She could suddenly smell and see everything happening around her.

Santana jumped up. The building was on fire! Well, not the building but everyone and everything inside it!

Santana ran to the doors on each side of the room. Both were locked. She was going to die if she didn't get out soon. Suddenly the smoke became too much to bear and she passed out on the hot concrete ground.

Brittany was called to talk to the teacher after math class. Thinking she was in trouble she readied herself for a detention.

"Ms. Pierce, it has come to my attention that Santana has been absent for almost a week and a half now. The school has not received any calls from her mother and we're all starting to get suspicious. You know you can speak up if you know what's wrong. You won't get in trouble."

Brittany looked shocked. "Don't you read the newspaper or watch the news!? It's all over the blogs and everyone is talking about it. Santana was kidnapped!"

Her teacher looked puzzled. "I prefer to get my news from the locals. This is shocking though. Have you told the police?"

Brittany laughed. Her teacher was being dumb. He was way too calm for a situation like this and frankly he should have heard of it.

"Don't laugh Ms. Pierce. I'm very cut off from the world. Anyways, give me more information when possible. I'll be looking out for her."

Brittany hurried away from the math room. It was lunch time and she needed to eat, but bringing up her feelings about everything had just made her lose her appetite. She decided to skip lunch and just sit alone today.

Santana regained conciousness early the next morning. She was in a different place entirely. She was in a room that looked like a dentist's office. She was laying naked on the floor which was... can you guess? Concrete.

Santana looked around. She noticed another body laying on the floor not too far off. She called to the person to see if they were awake.

"Hello!? It's me Santana!"

The body shivered a little and replied, "Santana... It's Rachel. Where are we?"

She sounded horrible like the life had been ripped right out of her.

Suddenly a man walked in and looked at the girls before speaking. "I see you've woken up. You're in a new slave placement clinic until the old place is back up and running. Don't think you have it good though. This is like the white house of the slave market. We have the highest security and strong men. Don't try any funny buisness."

Santana gulped, trying to hide her fear. Rachel looked just as scared.

"May I ask a question?" Rachel asked.

The man grinned which was more like a grimace. He walked over to her.

"Hasn't anyone taught you not to speak without asking!"

He chuckled and kicked her in the back.

"So what will young Rachel's punishment be? How about we release the hounds on you!" The man looked like he was enjoying Rachel's pain. "Or... we could throw you in our furnace. Your choice."

Then Rachel did the bravest thing Santana had ever seen someone do. She got up, still naked and grabbed a scalpel off the table nearest to her. Then she kicked the man right in the groin and stabbed him with the scalpel right in the stomach. Then, without looking back she ran out of the room and into the unknown.
