Chapter 5

Lisa looked at her clock to discover that it was only 2am.

"Damn it!" she cursed out loud. Looking at her shirt she saw it was ripped open with blood on it.

"What the hell!?" she cried. She quickly ran out of her room and into a bathroom. Lisa quickly took the shirt off and wiped away the blood with a washcloth. She saw no mark there and began to panic.

"MOM!!! I NEED YOU!" She screamed.

Lisa heard nothing. The house was completely quiet.

Tears came to her eyes. "Where are you?" She asked the darkness.

No one answered her.

---------------------------

Lisa was miserable the next morning. Her nightmare didn't affect her as much as her mother not being there for her. Her father? Understandable. He worked late into the next morning. He should be home soon. But her mother should have been home.

She heard the front door slam open and closed. Lisa's mother walked into the kitchen with the largest grin on her face.

"Good morning! How was your night?"

Lisa said nothing.

"I finally did it!" Her mother continued, not even noticing Lisa's grim expression. "I finally closed the business deal! Took me 6 months but I did it!"

"Who gives a shit?" Lisa muttered under her breath.

Her mother lost her grin. "And what makes you think you can talk to me like that?" Her hands were on her hips. "I work hard for this family to give you everything and you dare ruin me moment?"

Lisa glared at her. "I don't think it takes all night to finish a business deal."

Her mother's eyes became dark and narrow. "I think that after a long day in the office that I'm entitled to a night of fun!" She said thru clenched teeth.

"Shows how much you care about your family. Where were you when I needed you the most? HMM? At a bar! Or with other men, for all I know!"

Her mother's face turned white. "H-how…?"

Lisa's blood was pumped and running and nothing seemed to stop her now. "And you know what!? Last night, I had to call the cops, Mom! And YOU were unreachable at the office! And that secretary? She's as big a bitch as you are now! THANKS FOR BEING A GOOD MOTHER!"

Lisa grabbed her book bag and stomped her way out of the house to her car. Her mother said nothing as she left.

Lisa drove to school as close to the speed limit as she could. All she could think about was getting away from her house.

I wonder what mom will do when I get home. Lisa thought. She'll probably go back to work.

----------------------

Once Lisa walked thru the front, the events of yesterday swam back into her head. She immediately tensed up and began looking around.

No one was following her.

She sighed in relief and walked to her locker.

----------------------

Lisa left school that day in a much better mood. No one was following her and all of her tests came back with good grades.

Now to go home and face the dragon lady Lisa thought as she walked to her car.

As she opened her car door, a hand on her shoulder stopped her from entering.

She turned and gasped.

It was the same guy from yesterday. The one who was following her.

His eyes blazed with fury as he glared at her. "Your coming with me" He stated thru clenched teeth.

Lisa began to panic and tried to scream until his hand covered her mouth.

"Scream and I'll make sure you pretty mother gets a new face that wont make her so hot anymore!" He hissed in her ear.

Lisa gave up on screaming and tried to squirm out of his arms.

As he tried to pull her towards the Mercedes that was parked right next to her car, a group of students came walking out of the front doors.

My only chance! Lisa thought and she rammed her elbow as hard as she could into his stomach.

He didn't let her go but his grip on her mouth came loose. She took that as a perfect opportunity to scream.

"HELP ME! PLEASE! HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!"

The students turned in her direction and ran at her attacker.

"DAMN!" He cursed in her ear and pulled a knife and held it to her throat.

The students froze ten feet away from them.

"Take it easy!" One of the boys said. Lisa didn't recognize him but thought that he must be a football player with how large he was.

"Just let her go!" Another boy said. This boy wasn't as tall as the football player, assuming that's what he was, but he was still taller then Lisa with a thin structure.

"Move and you won't die." He hissed again in her ear and began leading her to the car.

SHIT! Lisa thought in panic. I'M GONNA DIE!

Hope the story is still good. By the way, the reason it takes me so long to update this story is because I'm writing this during a free period during school hours. Last week we had out OGTs (Ohio Graduation Tests) so I couldn't update. My apologies and I hope to begin updating a lot faster now. Enjoy! ^_^
