CHAPTER 7: KIDNAPPED!
CHAPTER 7: KIDNAPPED!
LILY’S POV:Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
I woke up early the next day to prepare for school but I wasn’t feeling motivated.
‘Maybe it is the events of yesterday and Troy and Olivia’s betrayal’, I concluded my heart was still heartbroken.
I got up, shower and dressed, went downstairs to get something to eat.
“You are still here Papa?!”, I asked.
Usually, I don’t meet him when I get ready for school, he always leaves early for work.
“Good morning to you too my dear daughter”, He said.
“Oh sorry, good morning Papa”, I said.
“And to answer your other question, you see me don’t you?”, He joked.
“Be serious Papa. It’s 8:23 am”, I replied.
“Okay okay boss… I’m working from home today, I don’t need the distraction from the office”, He explained.
I was surprised, he never took a day off or worked from home.
“Is there something I need to know? Are you sick?”, I immediately got worried and held his shoulders, ransacking him with my eyes.
He began laughing really hard and his face was bright red, tears formed from his eyes and I pouted.
“This is no joke papa!”.
“I know, I know my little girl. I am not ill or dying any time soon okay, I’m just stressed and need rest, but I would be working here instead!”.
“You’re sure?”, I didn’t believe him but he never lied to me.
“One hundred and one percent sure!”, He said with a smile on his face making me smile too.
I ate what he made, toast and scrambled eggs with orange juice.
Though I was still having this instinct that I wouldn’t like today, I still have school to go to.
I stepped out of the house not before giving Papa a big kiss on the cheek.
I had to take the bus and the bus stop was just 5 minutes walk from the house.
The farther I went, the more I felt uneasy.
‘What was this feeling?’, I asked myself.
Fear, I was afraid. ‘Of what?’, I didn’t know.
I got to the bus stop and the bus arrived just in time, I hopped in and reached for my bag to pay the bus fare but I couldn’t find my phone.
“Oh no! Please I will get off, I forgot my phone at home”, I said to the driver and I came down from the bus and hurried home.
I was walking fast when a black van with tinted glass, drove and stop in front of me, before I knew what was happening or even scream for help, two masked men got off the van and rushed to me, the stronger one grabbed me and put a cloth over my mouth and nose, the other one assisted him in opening the back of the van.
I struggled for my life, I kicked and scratched but it was of no use.
Then I started feeling tired and dizzy, I couldn’t break free from the strange man’s arm then I lost consciousness…
***
I woke up to my head pounding and throbbing, I found myself in a dark place… oh wait, I was blindfolded.
I tried to take off the cloth blocking my vision but I noticed my hands were tied behind my back.
‘Wait, what?! Was I kidnapped?!’, My heart raced as I thought of something that horrible. No it can’t be!
Then it hit me. The events of what happened on my way to school started coming back to me.
‘I was kidnapped! no no no!’, I was scared and my heart was racing so fast.
“Hello? Anyone there?! Please help me!”.
I was still scared to my bones when I heard someone come into the room followed by a very loud laugh.
“OLIVIA!!!”, I hated that I could recognize her voice anywhere.
“The queen has finally woken up! Girl… you were unconscious for 4 hours! hahaha”, She said.
I could feel my insides boil with rage.
“You fucking bitch! Is this some sort of prank?!! Why are you doing this?”, I asked her.
What reason those she have to come at me again, I thought she would stop at just taking Troy, I wasn’t even planning to get back at her, the last was at the party.
“I don’t like the way you sound bestie, I just wanted to see and talk to you again after what happened yesterday. You left without hearing the good part”, Olivia said.
I hate her, I never knew I hated her this much.
I tried to free myself from the rope my hands were tied with but it was of no use.
I heard her foot steps towards me and she took off the blindfold from my eyes.
There she was, standing tall and with a mischievous smile on her face.
“Don’t ever call yourself best friend, you don’t deserve it! You’re a monster!”, I yelled at her.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!!”, She snapped at me.
I flinched and looked at her, she looked so different from what I used to know, like she got a whole different face and personality.
“What happened to you Ollie? what made you this way?”, I tried to reason with her in a calm tone and she laughed, it sounded just like those Disney villain laugh, so malicious.
“You are so ignorant and foolish! But I’ll tell you what happened to me… You! It’s all your fault!”, She sounds crazy! What have I ever done to her?!
“You took what was supposed to be mine! Good grades since middle school till college, friends, opportunities and even Troy! Yes, Troy! I saw him first at the club two years ago but you just had to steal him from me by pretending you were in trouble so he could notice you!…”.
Okay, now I see it. She’s crazy.
I stole friends from her? She was an extroverted person with dozens of friends! Grades?! She always aced class work. Troy?! She has the audacity to say that to me?!
“You are crazzyyy, yes, a crazy bitch!”, I didn’t care anymore. I was tied up and my movement was restricted but I wasn’t scared of her, she could say what ever she wants but blaming me for something I couldn’t control is just madness.
“What did you just call?”, She asked with surprise written all over her face.
She rushed to me and grabbed me by the hair and I yelled in pains.
“Let go of me!” I struggled.
I couldn’t shout for help, were were in a very big and spacious building, like an empty warehouse.
I didn’t know why she kidnapped me.
“You called me a crazy bitch huh? Well, let’s see what this crazy bitch can do”, She said and let go of my hair.
She called out to someone and a masked man came in, the same one that kidnapped me. I immediately felt scared.
‘Oh Lord, please don’t let her kill me’, I prayed.
“Don’t worry, I won’t physically harm you because of old time sake haha”, She said.
That statement creeped me out, what was she going to do with me then?
“And I can’t let you go because you would go tell your ‘Papa’… so stupid”, She continued, “I can’t risk being behind bars, I can’t leave Troy, not now or ever!”.
She instructed the huge masked man to blindfold and sedate me.
I couldn’t because my hands were tied, literally!
“No no please Ollie, don’t do this! This isn’t you”, I begged her, already crying and desperate but she laughed at my face like she was enjoying every thing she saw.
The masked man came to me with a syringe needle containing the sedative, he held me in place and injected the substance in my upper arm.
I cried and screamed but I was already feeling weak after all the drama.
“The sedative takes about in 5 to 10 minutes before it kicks in, so we have time to chitchat!”, Olivia said as she clasped her hand together happily.
“I… I hate y-you Olivia”, I managed to say.
She said it took 10 minutes before it would start working but I could already feel it.
“Awww, me too! You know when I started hating you? It was your my 18th birthday. Well, I always hated you but I finally accepted the feeling on your birthday. You had everything, your dad was there for you and he threw the biggest birthday party on your behalf and was proud of you but what did my parents do for mine? My dad was on a business trip on my birthday and my mom… on someone else’s bed, fucking!! Hahahaha. I mean, when my dad found out my mom was cheating on him, he flipped! He beat the hell out of her and he ended up in prison and my mom, in the hospital, so funny!”, Olivia said, I could hear the pains in her voice but she tried to cover it up with the laugh.
“But I was always there for you, consoling and making you feel better”, I said weakly.
“And I hated every moment you did that!… Don’t you worry Lily, I will make sure you go to a place no one can find you, your dad would be so frustrated that he can’t find his only daughter even with being a detective and with all his resources. You will go to a place you would which for death but you can’t get it”, She said and told the masked man to knock me out since I was taking long to pass out.
He hit me at the back of my head and I fell to the ground, I blacked out.
