A Sad Murder

kidn*pped

Anna felt chills all over her body when she saw her boyfriend laying down helplessly on the floor. She gasps and covered her mouth trembling in fear and her shaky legs managed to get her closer to Drake's body. She knelt beside him tears wailing down her cheeks as she watched him vomiting out blood.

"Drake" she whispers, her lips quivering out of shock.

Drake wanted to speak to her but he couldn't. His strength has gone shallow from all the stabs and beating he has passed through from the stalker. Anna's trembling hands reached for his face.

"Drake, please don't die on me. I can't take it if you do this, stay alive for me, I'll call for help and you'll be safe" she cried shaking his body.

More blood gushed out from his mouth as he tries to say a final goodbye to the love of his life. "A..n..n..." His attempt to say his girlfriend's name only resulted to him gasping out for breath and then he gave up the ghost.

"Drake!" Anna screamed. "No! Drake please don't do this! Drake!" she cries out hugging his body and shaking it so hard.

Behind her, the stalker emerges and grabs Anna's hair from behind. Anna screams and raised her hand to hold her stalker's hand who was gripping her hair.

"Let me go!" She cries out whimpering.

He ignores her and drags her away from Drake's body.

"Somebody help! Drake!" she squeals wishing she could be heard if not by anyone but her boyfriend.

Her stalker growled angrily and hit her so hard on her face and Anna passed out instantly. He grabs her by her shirt (Drake's shirt) and dragged her on the floor towards the back door which is located in the kitchen. He halted and glances around the kitchen for any evidence of his presence, when he found nothing, he turn the doorknob and opens the door wide and drags out Anna's unconscious body along with him.

He closed the door and then glance around his surroundings to find another victim who might be watching his move. When he found none, he picks Anna up and placed her on his shoulders. He didn't want to leave footprints of blood knowing they'll track him down if he made any mistakes. He made his way into the bush paths and came out to the road after a 10 minutes walk away from Anna's apartment.

His black DB11 car was parked few feet's away from where he was standing. He matches up to his car, dig out his car key from his pocket and pressed a button. The doors went unlock and he opened the back door of the car and threw Anna's body on the backseat. He shut the door closed, went to the trunk of his car and brought out a small box and then closes back the trunk and walked back to the backseat where Anna is.

He opens the door and kept the box on a small space on the seat close to Anna's body. He opens up the box and brought out a tape, he cuts out some of it and sealed Anna's mouth. After he did that, he brought out handcuffs and handcuffed Anna's hand. He brought out a drug and injected it on her so she wouldn't wake up anytime soon. And lastly, he tied up her legs with hard ropes. He did all this to avoid having Anna escape his captivity.

When he was done, he closed up the box and carried it to the front seat. He got inside the driver's seat, pull off his scary facemask and he was left with a black mask often used by assassins. He put on his seatbelt and then he locks all the doors of the car. Feeling half satisfied with his mission, he drove to a destination where no one can find him.

Anna's stalker arrived at his hideout 3hours later which was around 5.am. His hideout turns out to be a fancy and classic home with everything one could dream of having. It was the only fancy building in the town but awkwardly it was built in the middle of a forest where no one lives but himself. This house has a basement and that was where he took Anna to.

The room was dark when he walked in, but he refused to turn on the lights afraid that might stir Anna up easily. At all corners of the room, they were tables covered with white clothes like some Science Laboratory. There was also a single chair and chains with locks on the floor like another victim has been tormented here before the arrival of Anna. He sat Anna's unconscious body on the chair and he resumes work.

He first untied the rope on her legs and replaced it with chains. Then he wrapped it all over her body to the chair. He stared at it for a moment and examines it all round to be sure he didn't make any mistakes. He smirks and nods awarding himself some accolades for his great and smooth job.

"The. Show. Begins. At. Sun. Rise" he snarls and matched out of the basement.

Anna's Apartment

By sun rise, Anna's phone kept ringing in her room. When her's stop ringing, Drake's phone began ringing as well. Both phones kept ringing continuously with no one to respond to it.

Campus

Jay and Brad got to school an hour ago and they've been looking all over the school for Drake. They've been trying to reach him but he wasn't picking up and it's causing panic to them. Right now they were both seated next to each other in class about to have their first course of the day, Chemistry.

"It's quite unusual of him, he's never this late" Jay whispers.

"Maybe he's caught up with things at home or he's running one of his part-time jobs" Brad replied.

"Hey guys. What are you whispering about?" Nicole chirps in from behind and they both glance back at her.

"It's Drake. Have you seen him today?" Brad asked.

"No. Don't worry about him, he's in good hands. I guess last night was so spectacular that they both ended up waking up late" she giggles.

"They?" Brad and Jay asked in unison raising a questioning brow at her.

"Yes. Drake and Anna! They started sleeping around already!" she whisper-yelled excitedly and most of the students heard her. They stared at her like she's grown five heads attached to the one she had before now.

"Lower your voice babe" Brad whispers.

"Where did you get that from anyways? I thought Anna was mad at all of us yesterday?" Jay asks.

"I doubt she's still mad at us after Drake showed up at her house last night" she winks at them grinning sheepishly.

"Oh, I see" Jay nods giving Brad that knowing smile. "He finally did it" he added grinning cockily.

"Don't be certain, they might not have had s*x. Maybe just cuddling could be all they did throughout the night. Even if they did, that shouldn't keep them away from school you know" Brad pointed out.

"Silence everyone, class is about to begin" their Chemistry lecturer, Mr Walton announced.

"Chill babe, they'll walk in any minute from now, you'll see" Nicole assured him.

From five minutes of lecture going on to fifteen minutes, Nicole and co kept stealing glances at the door expecting Drake to walk in but the more they look the less they see.

Captive Home

The brightness of the sun shines it way through the tiny spaces of the room where Anna was. Anna stirs up from her long sleep and she blinks her eyes slowly a couple of times before she could see clearly. She glances around to see white clothing covered on things she didn't know of. She furrows her brows confusedly wondering where she was. Her gaze travels up to the ceiling and she finds it not familiar. She tried to open her mouth to ask where she was but she found out her mouth was sealed.

"Mhmmmmm" was the only sound she could make. She wanted to get up from her sitting position but when she moves her body, it wasn't moving. It was only then she realized she was being tied down to a chair. She struggles to get herself free but the more she tries the more her skin got hurt by the strong metals of the chains used in bounding her up. Sobs emerges from her mouth and right then she knew there's no way out for her.

Thoughts of Drake rushed through her mind and her eyes went wide open. She flashback to how she had seen Drake in a pull of blood and he passes out while on her arms. Anna squeals and cried after the flashback wishing all that was happening isn't true.

'Drake is still alive, he can't be dead, he's alive. He promise to protect me, he'll come save me, I know he'll come'. Anna thought.

The door squeak open and Anna's kidnapper walks in.

"Drake?" she wanted to call out for him but humming sound was all that came out from her mouth.

"Without. Time. Wastage. Let's. Begin" he spoke in a deep cold voice and walked to one of the tables covered in white cloth.

Anna scowls at him in disgust and forced herself to speak out hateful things to him but it was a futile try. She pants and watched his back from across where she was seated.

When he turns around, his hand was filled with tools. On his left hand was a rack and a headcrusher, then on his right hand was a pincer and a thumbscrews.

Anna gasps countlessly and sweat dripped down her forehead but deep inside her body she was freezing. She stared in horror at the beast in front of her and

couldn't decipher what he looks behind that mask.

Is this the end of me? Anna wonders as she watches him walk majestically towards her.
