I slowed down, feeling tired now since I had been walking for four hours straight. I kept walking though, despite how much my feet were screaming at me to stop or how my stomach begged for food. Every so often I looked over my shoulders behind me, watching to see if that monster was lurking behind me. I shook my head trying to convince myself that I was just being too paranoid.
I had lost track of how far I had walked but I had walked right out of Seaview. Where was I going? Did I really think I could just keep walking? What was I hoping to achieve? I have to turn back. This was a stupid idea and I have probably worried Jack too much lately... I wondered what Jack was doing right now. Has he noticed that I've disappeared yet? If he has he would be searching everywhere for me. I probably won't have long until he tracks me down.
I was alone, walking down a deserted street. The sun warmed my the backs arms, as I walked away from the sun, until a dark shadow loomed over me. I was grabbed from behind, a hand covering my mouth as I attempted to scream and someone lifted me off my feet. I was gagged, my wrists were bound and I was blindfolded before I could fight back.
"You're coming with us princess" one snarled into my ear as they lifted me.
I felt the colour drain out of my face. It was him, he's got me.
"You're going to listen to us otherwise I am going to harm those babies"
How did he find out?
Whoever had my feet suddenly dropped me and I heard a click, maybe it was a car unlocking? I was then pushed into what I assumed to be a van and they set off.
They were speeding, not bothering to be gentle. Every time they went round a corner I was tossed against the walls inside the van. They kept slamming on the breaks so I would fall. I felt like a human pinball, a motion sickness suffering pinball.
I heard a hissing sound, my head felt funny, the inside of the van started spinning super fast...
"Wake up princess!"
My head was fuzzy. I wasn't blindfolded any more but I refused to open my eyes. I was hanging on a brick wall, my arms bound by chains. I felt air and heard a clunking sound beside me.
I was slapped hard across my cheek. I bit the inside of it drawing blood. I refused to open my eyes.
"Bitch!"
I heard that clunking sound again.
"I know you are awake" he spat squeezing my cheeks together. "Maybe...if I hurt your stomach..."
My eyes shot open. He held me in a cold smelly basement. "You wouldn't"
He smiled "I knew that would work. You are so predictable daughter"
I spat at him "Monster you have no right to call me that any more. What the hell do you want with me?"
"You already know" he said slamming my head against the wall. "but I'll remind you anyway. You see, I want to see you in pain like all the pain you've caused me. An eye for an eye, it's only fair"
I threw up. This time I didn't know if it had anything to do with my injuries or whether it is just morning sickness. Either way it is still gross.
"Let me go"
He shook his head "No not a chance after everything you have put me through"
"I'll call the police off just don't hurt my babies" I cried.
"let her go Lucas! This whole thing has gone on long enough. Haven't you had enough of messing with her?" Max said.
"She needs to pay"
"For what? She's not done anything wrong apart from try protect herself from you" Max pointed out.
The monster grabbed him by the neck and pushed him up against the wall beside me. "She is my daughter this is none of your business."
"I don't want to be involved any more" Max told him. He kicked Lucas where it hurts "Its horrible what you've put her through I should never have got involved in the first place"
"Why did you?" I asked. "I mean why would you want to help this maniac out?"
"He has my wife hidden somewhere. He promised to tell me where they were as long as I got one picture of you in the hospital however Jack stopped that so he kept making demands" Max explained "Kim I need you to understand I never wanted to hurt you or Jack I only did this to protect my family. I am so sorry for what we've put you through"
Lucas laughed "He's lying Kim I never took his family"
"You bastard!" Max screamed and pushed him up against the wall. "Tell me where are they?"
"Where's the fun in that?" Lucas laughed bearing all his teeth. "its fun watching you squirm. Its like I am a puppet master and you are the puppet."
Lucas kicked Max hard in the shin to get free. He grabbed a shovel and hit Max over the head a couple of times, before he had a chance to fight back, until he lay still.
I sobbed as Lucas dragged Max's body out of room, leaving behind a couple of blood splatters for me to look at.
When is this nightmare going to end? I don't understand why can't he just leave me alone to live my life?
