Twelve was nearing closer while I fixed up my hair to look presentable after playing with River earlier. I put my golden brown hair into a braided bun to the best of my ability and wore the choker that Jason had given me before our first date. I stepped out of the bathroom with a Beatles shirt tucked into my overall shorts with a pair of blue hightops to top it all off. I looked at myself in the mirror and placed my hands on either side of my waist. I turned left then right to check how it looked and gave myself a nod of approval.
I heard knocking at the door and immediately stopped to look. The door opens to reveal Jason behind it with a curious look when he peeked in. "You ready for lunch? I was thinking of taking you to lunch at the mall so we could spend time together this afternoon." He said as he walked closer to me while explaining his lunch plan. I smiled the moment I saw his face and nodded happily when I heard we were gonna spend more time with each other this afternoon.
"I love the idea! Where are we going for lunch?" I ask as I wrap my arms around his neck whilst looking up at him happily. I thought from earlier that this was going to be a serious lunch from the tone he made but I suppose he was just in a stressed-out mood and he lightened up a little once he got some work done.
"I was hoping you would know where you wanted to go for lunch but if you want me to decide..." He teases while looking away slowly before I chime in. "Cheesecake Factory! If I get to pick I wanna go to the Cheesecake Factory!" He looked back at me and smiled devilishly.
"Good, don't want us to take forever to decide where we want to go for food when we do decide to go out." He comments before scooping me up in his arms and carries me downstairs. I go wide-eyed from the sudden movement and blush immensely. He's going all out to pamper me today, I wonder why?
Once we reach the last step on the stairs, we head out the opened front door and to the car. Charlie held the door open for Jason as he placed me in the backseat and buckled my seatbelt. I felt like a little kid and was surprised with how fuzzy it felt being pampered like this. I wasn't used to it but, I think I would get used to it pretty quick in hopes that he would do it more often.
He closes it once I'm secure and walks to the other side to sit next to me. "Take us to the Cheesecake Factory at the Falmouth Mall, Charlie." He ordered before looking at me and kissed my forehead. "You look adorable by the way." I blush and smile before looking away sheepishly from the comment. "Thank you, and you look handsome too," I comment and move my hand closer to his. He takes my hand in his and kisses the top of it and places our hands on top of his thigh. I scoot closer to him as much as my seatbelt will let me and lay my head on his shoulder.
Charlie gets in the driver's seat and drives toward the mall without a word. He seemed like one of those quiet but loyal types. Doesn't talk but does what you ask without a judgemental comment. I guess it would also add in that he's a butler for the Vampire king so I would imagine that no one would want to disrespect or argue with Jason.
We drove for a good 10 minutes as we passed the beautiful scenery of the forest when it opened up to a massive plain on either side. It would make sense that the mansion would be far from human society but man is it a long drive.
I look at Jason and smile, happy that we were finally going to spend time after being alone for so long. I look past him when I saw something moving and thought it was a deer galloping by but it wasn't. It was a car, heading straight toward us. I grab Jason's arm and look at him with fear-stricken eyes. He looks at me worried then turns his head and immediately turns to push my head down and covers me with his body to shield me.
The other car t-bones ours and causes us to flip over I believe two times but I couldn't tell cause I was focusing on staying alive. The car stopped rolling after what felt like minutes in slow motion. My body got squished between the car and Jason but I didn't feel any sharp pain once we stopped rolling. I look up and around me to see Jason on the ground groaning in pain while Charlie is knocked out cold and see the car that t-boned us on the street. A pair of feet come walking up to my side of the car and rip the door off its hinges. A hand reaches in and pulls me out of the car onto the broken glass covering the ground.
"Get on your feet!" The person ordered while hoisting me up with their hand latched around my upper arm. I get jolted up and plopped onto my feet still feeling dazed by the moment. They drag me to a waiting nearby car and throw me into the backseat. I can hear the rustling of Jason within the crashed car and forces his way out of the car. The guy who threw me in goes over to Jason and takes his outstretched head from inside the car and smashes it against the metal frame. Jason's body goes limp as I bang against the tinted windows wanting to be set free. I look toward the front seat and see a glass barrier that protects the driver from my pent up rage that was aimed at my kidnappers.
The man who threw me in seemed like the one who organized the trap moved his hand to the side and the car that had me trapped inside zoomed down the road. I looked out the back window and saw the assailants take a lighter and toss it into the puddle of gas that was starting to form from the crash and the car bursts into flames.
"NOOO!! NO!" I scream at the top of my lungs as I watch the car burn and slowly drift away out of sight. "No....no...please...no." I mutter to myself as my own body dwindles into a sleepy state as the adrenaline rush slowly fades away. In a few moments, my eyes close shut, and I pass out in the back seat with tears staining my burning cheeks.
