~2 months later~
I and Brice have a really good relationship so far. And the best part we haven't fought, yet...
I and Alex haven't really been talking much so I have no idea if he knows that I and Brice are a thing.
And while I was walking down the halls Alex came up to me.
"Hey, I was thinking that we could go out sometime Bea?" Alex asked. And man I just feel bad for him now... but I thought he already knew that I was with Brice.
"Oh, you don't know...."
"Um know what?"
"I'm dating Brice, Alex."
"Oh... wow I feel so embarrassed now... I'll just... yeah... bye Bea." He said and now I feel bad but I can't just leave Brice for him he's not really my type anyway...
I also found out that Brice is apart of the football team.
And shit he was watching me and Alex from the corner of his eye while talking to some friends. So of course he comes over. "Hey, what were you two talking about?" He says trying to keep his cool.
"Nothing."
"Well you seemed a little bit frustrated with him, so what's nothing?" He said trying to be gentle with his tone. I sigh.
"Alex asked me out..." I said
"I'm going to kill him..." he said then shot a look at his other friends and they ran off. Why does he have to be so protective? I wish I cared that they were going to beat up Alex but honestly, Alex gives me the creeps...
~End of school day~
I climb into Brice's truck, he takes me home every day now.
"How bad...?" I asked once I buckled up.
"A few bruises a bloody nose and a busted lip..." He said.
"What the hell, Brice!" I yelled at him.
"What if you get expelled?!" I yelled at him again.
"It was way off-campus and no cameras saw us..."
"Still!"
"Please don't be mad at me..." He said putting on his sad innocent face. He'd already pulled over into a deserted parking lot.
"Just take me home," I said
"You can't be too overprotective, and I said no to him, I would never cheat on you."
"I know, but I just love you so much."
"And I love you too. Now you should take me home before my mom worries."
"Okay." He said and gets the truck moving again, while I just gaze out the window, imagining what Alex looks like.
~
"Hey, do ya want to go running on a trail this weekend?" Brice asked me as we climbed into his huge truck to go home.
"Sure, as long as you don't beat up any hikers that look at me," I said as we drive to a stoplight. And he chuckles a little.
"I don't know maybe I should." He said practically teasing me. And I just shook my head at him.
"Alright, how about tomorrow at 1:00?" Brice asked.
"Yeah, sure. See ya tomorrow." I said as I climb out of his, once again, huge truck. Well, that was one fast car ride, I thought my house was far away, author!
~Saturday, 12:55~
And I'm ready to go on the trial run and sitting on the sofa right now waiting for Brice.
And finally, his car pulls up, "Bye, Lori!"
"Bye!" I heard her yell as I walked out the door
Normally, I would say bye to mom but she is usually gone on the weekends and this weekend is one of them. But I'm not one of those girls that throw a party while my parents are gone. Plus if I tried the neighbors would complain one of the flaws living in a gated community, snobby neighbors.
~
"So where are we going to go?" I asked.
"I was thinking Cypress park?"
"Okay, cool."
Now we have like a 5-minute drive. Now I'm thinking about playing a trick
on Brice, Nah wouldn't be that nice.
"Hey, what's your favorite color?" Brice asked.
"Blue, I know it's like a boy's color now but, before a war, forgot which one but the colors were reversed, girls are blue, boys are well pink."
"Hmm." He said with a thinking face on.
Finally, we arrive at the park and pay the entry fee.
"You ready?" I said as I finish tying my shoes.
"Yep." Brice's said.
We start out as a walk enjoying the trail. And taking pictures of each other and the scenery.
Then we start up a run a little slow but good to look at the woods. When the corner of my eye I see a man dressed in black, hooding a...a gun!
"Run! Run faster Brice go!" I yelled at him and he did while looking back to see the man, with the gun. And Brice ran at my speed, when I felt a pinch on my back and then the world felt dizzy, then everything went black.
~
"Ugh," I said as I find myself waking up, tied to a chair. I struggle to try and break free. And it's so dark it's like I'm in a black pit. There's not even a slit of light.
"Brice?!" I yelled hoping he isn't with me in this. Then I hear the door open and light pours through the room almost blinding me.
Once I can see it's, "Alex?"
"Bea, Bea, Bea, it could've all gone so much better if ya just went out with me instead of that jerk." He said as he circles the room. I knew he was a little creep.
"Brice isn't a jerk! And where is he!? What did you do with him!" I yelled at him while struggling to want to choke him to death and get the hell out of here.
"That is none of your concern." He said while leaving closing the door and leaving the room in utter darkness and I have no idea what to do.
"It is every bit of my concern!" I yelled hoping he could hear me.
Then a small little light, that fills up the room dimly comes on, like a night light you plug into the walls. And right there is food beside it. But how am I going to get it, and worst part I'm hungry.
Then all of a sudden the ropes drop and I'm "free." Well, that's weird. I'm guessing the door is locked, but I get up to look at the food. Which is one loaf of cut bread, a honey ham packet, mayonnaise bottle, and cheese along with one mini packet of cokes and another of water? Well, at least I have soda and food.
I decide to make myself a sandwich and I use a mini bottle of water. This sucks. There's nothing to do, barley any light.
Why is this happening to me? I should be out having fun, going to party's getting drunk off my ass. But no I'm locked up here in this dark scary place wondering when and who might end my life.
I leaned against the wall after I finished my sandwich, I wonder what my sister and parents are doing right now. I wonder if their searching for me. I wonder if they think Brice kidnapped me if he's in the building with me.
Ever heard Moral of the Story, by Ashe? Well, you should listen to it while reading this chapter. It just has a good sad beat.
I decided to get up and feel around, the walls feel normal. And it doesn't smell at least. I find a doorknob, not the doorknob from the one Alex entered in. I open it and there is a brighter night light, it turns out it's a restroom. No shower though, but a sink with soap and a toilet. At least I have a toilet.
Brice's POV:
I woke up with the worst headache ever, I got up to look for Bea, but she was nowhere to be found. I got out my phone and called my boss.
"What is it?" Brices boss, Lilith asked.
"She's gone."
"WHAT?!?!" Lilith screamed.
"They took her, we were on a walk, in Cypress park and they used a tranquilizer on us."
"You fool! I knew you weren't ready, I should've had Trevor protect her!!" Lilith screamed once again.
"I'm sorry, I made sure no one was following us but it seems they somehow managed to." I said.
"You know what, your done. Now I have to bother King Python because of you!" Lilith yelled and then hanged up. Great.

I think a day or two has passed, thankfully they added a mattress. And so I started thinking. I can still breathe cool air, so there has to be an air vent, right? After looking, I found one, but I need like a tool or something to get it open. I think I'll be able to fit through it. Luckily I have a toothbrush. Let's give it a shot.
A few minutes of trying and it finally opened. Just have to fit in it.....
And done, I am in an air vent, it's sort of dusty but super fun. I approach another air vent opening and see creepy Alex and another older dude, probably another creep.
"You know we have to get rid of her soon, you can't keep her as a pet much longer. And the boss wants things to get moving." The older one said. I could feel my face freeze up with horror
"I know but I don't want her to leave just yet. What are we even going to do with her? All you've told me is to get her and that's it?"
"You know boss told me not to tell you… and it'll be over soon, maybe she'll live."
"Okay," Alex said. I need to get out of here. Then maybe you'll live statement didn't creep me out at all. Okay, it really did.
"Now let's go get something to eat." The older man said and they both left the room. And I continued crawling through the dusty vent.
After what feels like I crawled a mile I get to the vent that leads outside, finally. I bust open the vent door are quiet as I could. Well it would be nice to be outside if it wasn't freezing cold, and morning.
I wish I had a f*cking blanket. But, no I didn't and I can't and won't go back there to grab one. At least I have in warm clothing on, but still, it's colder than Shreveport weather. This means I'm not in Shreveport, and sure enough, after walking and walking I've found out. I'm ON A FREAKING MOUNTAIN.
There could be literally anything here that could eat me. Maybe a really determined bobcat. Or an angry moose, wait do moose's even live in mountains? No, maybe... no. Maybe though. No, now I'm for sure they don't. There might even be a mountain lion up here. And it could pick up my scent and track me down and eat me.
This is why I don't go hiking up mountains, but I'm hiking down a mountain. Well, this is why I don't go hiking in the mountains. There are all sorts of dangerous things out there. I could trip and fall on a very sharp rock.
Ah haha! I see the road! That will be very helpful to get me down the mountain to find help. And figure out where the hell I am! But a road could also be dangerous because what if the creeps go out and take this road...
"Ah, shit." I murmured. And "why" do you ask, because I hear a car. And I'm pretty sure it's going to the place I came. Now quick Beatrix I cleverly thought. I hid behind a tree and just to let you know it was a rather big tree by bushes so I'm hidden.
I could see a car which was a big black nice SUV, like the really nice expensive new ones.
~Authors note: Go read "You'll die by my hands tonight" (at least skim through it) this part of the book will make more sense lol~
Okay, so you read or skimmed through "You'll die by my hands tonight", right? Well if you didn't then do that, it will help you understand this chapter a little better. If you don't want to that's fine, you'll still understand this chapter.
You thought things couldn't get any worse, the black SUV stopped a few feet ahead from where I was hiding. Three men stepped out, while the driver stayed in the car. The first one was, white, about 6'2', black hair that was shaved on the sides, and had on a black T-shirt like the other one, and had regular blue jeans on as so did the other one. The second one that stepped out was dressed the same as the first one but, he was taller about, 6'4', and had his hair similar to the other one but slightly longer on the top.
The last one was obviously their boss, which was this big muscular black dude that was wearing a nice black suit and was probably 6'3', bald. The three of them walked towards where I was hiding. And stopped.
"Go get her, Ren." The one that looked like the boss said to the handsome one with the long hair. Well shit, mine as well run, because he's walking towards where I'm hiding. So now I run! Gotta be careful not to trip! (Author: should I make her trip, like how they just randomly trip in the movies...? Maybe I'll be nice.) argh, so close to tripping, and I'd prefer it if I didn't even come close to almost tripping!
"Oof!" I said I was forcefully knocked down to the ground have to say he's very fast. He very quickly tied my hands behind my back with one of those zip ties. And threw me over his shoulder.
"Let go of me! You M*****f***** *yells very explicit word*!!!!" I yelled at him while I could hear the other two guy's laughing, so I continued...
"Shut up or I'll drop you," Ren said (I'd figure since the one in the suit called him that) while walking over to the two guys. Me being smart did because this dude is very tall and I don't want to get hurt from the impact.
He gently put me down on the ground. Now I was standing. Since I don't want them to know I'm very very scared, I put on my poker face.
"Want to know why you're here?" The one in the nice suit said, and let me tell you he had the thickest and deep cajan accent I've ever heard. I shrugged and asked, "sure, but what's your name?" In a very lame, boring voice.
"My name is Beast, King Beast to you. And your dad made a deal, and didn't keep his end of the bargain." He said.
"Then why didn't you just go after him?" I asked, again with a very bored voice. He just kind of stopped and his face expression was, 'is this chick serious right now?'
~
"Are you serious?" King Beast asked.
"Yes, it would make more sense to go after him and torture him, assuming your that mad. After all, he is the one that didn't keep his end of the bargain, not me." I said, and I know what you're thinking, 'how the hell am I not freaking out?' Well, I'm very very close to absolutely freaking out... but hey maybe they won't kill me if I act natural?
"Well that does make sense... but have you ever seen your mother and father in such pain wondering if you will ever come back, and not to mention you, little boyfriend or what I call him... a traitor," He said.
"No, but then again I'm not there. And my father loves my older sister, he hates me. And now I'm guessing that he told y'all that I was his 'favorite,' and I would do air quotes, but somebody-" Then everything went black...
