Chapter 2 - No more air left to breath

Point of view of Angela

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt my body being dragged through the woods. Feeling the small lumps of twigs and rocks under me I realized I was being dragged upside down.

Twisting my body and starting clawing at the ground, my hand sifted through the snow for any type of rock, My hands swung wildly as I tried to get out of his grasp. He dragged me further away until he suddenly stopped. "We're home"

My eyes widened as he swung me over his shoulder. There was a slight creak of the door, before he stepped in, making my body sway to the side. Raising my head and scanning my surroundings I realized something didn't make sense.

My eyebrows creased as the familiar Grey of my front door came to view, everything was like I had it in my own house, so why did his 'home' look exactly like mine?

Panic rose in my chest as we came to a stop. Letting out a cry as my body met the hard floor, as he dropped me with no emotion. Avoiding his gaze as he he stared down at me before reaching out his hand and pulling the piece of string that opened the attic.

I screamed as the ladder connected with the ground making a piercing noise. Starting to kick as he came closer but it was no use, because there was no way of me getting away from him. He dragged me up the stairs until we were both in the attic. It was dark with no indication of light.

The ground was damp and smelled sour. My gag reflexes started kicking in but swallowing it down I held it in and my nose. My eyes looked wildly about for any opening but now the taste of the noxious smell was on my tongue.

As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, shapes in the corner of the room came to focus. I never came up here when I bought the house, attics freak me out and God knows where I would be right now if I did.

Wincing at the sudden light in the room I looked at the piece of string dangling under the light and realized he turned it on. Letting my eyes adjust I took a second look around the room. The walls were peeling and there were can food tins all over the room. There was a small stool in the corner of the room and a huge sheet covering something.

"For you" I swirled around and saw him sitting on the ground with a huge grin on his face.

Slowly raising my hand towards the sheet and closing my eyes I paused before taking a dep breath. Grabbing the sheet and pulling it away, a gasp escaped my throat as I fell to the ground and scurried away from the sight before me. Covering my eyes as his loud high pitch laughs filled the room, until it was ringing in my head.
