Dark facade

Chapter...6

The worst moment is when you have beg yourself to stop crying and tell yourself to be strong~ Satavisa Sakar

It's been three days.. or four, I don't know anymore. He put me in an underground bunker that had a king sized bed, a claw foot tub in the corner and transparent bulletproof screen that allowed Theo to watch me.

Not that the camera's littered around the room weren't enough. The only time he comes and sees me is when he wants to give me food.

I lay in bed staring at the concrete ceiling wondering if anyone had a lead to where I was. I hope Stephan is okay he, probably got scared and ran away, I wouldn't blame him if he did.

I felt my eyelids get heavy and I was knocked out. Some where in the night I felt like I was being watched. I wanted to jerk myself out of bed but my muscles felt stiff like I was paralyzed.

Slowly I opened my eyes and at the side of the bed was Theo staring at me with a dazed look on his face. His finger running up and down my arm

"What the f**k did you do to me?", I manage to speak out.

"Just a little anesthetic to keep you still, the cops are starting to look for you and your boyfriend."

A spark of hope lit, maybe someone will find me. But why doesn't he look stressed.

"Oh my sweet Jane, they will never find you, in fact your parents have presumed your dead and  think that your psychotic boyfriend killed you."

My blood was boiling but at the same time I was shocked that my parents gave up on me. Tears threatened to fall but I stayed strong.

"Theo please dont do this, just tell me who is after me and I'll tell the police" desperation laced in my voice.

He stood up, kissed my forehead and looked me in the eyes.

"There is so much you don't know but I can protect you from your parents terrible past."

He walked away slowly melting into the dark void as I laid there confused and pain clinging to my heart.

What could my parents have done to have someone is target me? Who really was Theo? Who was I? What made me so special to him that he would kill my boyfriend and keep me hostage.

I felt the numbness fading away and I started to move my toes. I closed my eyes tight hoping this was just some sick nightmare I was stuck in and I couldn't wake up.

I sighed ,defeated. This was all real, maybe I was being punished my the universe. I slowly drifted back to bed making a small prayer that this was not how I would end.

I woke up the usual time when Theo would bring me food and something to wear for the day. He slid the food and a dress into the small door.

I picked up a wooden chair and threw it at the glass screen but it barely made a c***k. I screamed at him and started banging on the screen.

"I hope they find me before I kill you Theo." I spat at him.

"Janny have some breakfast before you lose it" he said calmly unfazed by my barbaric behaviour.

He sat down in a chair facing me and ate his breakfast. I picked up my food and  sat on the floor pathetically. Today he made me a  sunny side up with avocado and toast with a smoothie, my mom made this for me everyday before I went running. Now everytime I look at it I gag.

I had no choice but to eat or I would get a headache and tightness in my chest sometimes if it got really bad I would have difficulty in breathing. Can you imagine getting sick because you refused to eat.

"So are you going to tell me what my parents have done to make someone want to hurt me?" I finally broke the silence.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you maybe you will find out soon, I left you some books to keep you company" he stood up and walked back upstairs.

I looked around the room after taking a bath, for the first time I saw a vent leading to God knows where but it was better than sitting around.

I took the books and used them to hoist my myself up. I removed the metal screens and started to crawl through the vent.

It wasn't as dusty but it was cold. I could feel the wind blowing in my direction so I guess that's where the exit is.

By the time I reached the end I checked if there was any movement. After two minutes I pushed out, I found my self in a long hallway.

I didn't recognize where I was but I had a feeling it was the old mansion everyone was afraid to go to. I went left, walking cautiously incase Theo was still around.

I found myself in a living room filled with mannequins wearing old costumes like it was a party.

"What the fu-". Before I could finish my sentence I felt warmth behind me, instead of checking who it was,

I made a run for it.

I felt my leg being grabbed causing me to fall and hit my head on the table. I tried to kick him but he sat on my thighs. With a free hand I punched him in the ear making him lose balance and  made a run for it.

" Knock it off Jane!" he screamed at me but I kept running. I opened lots off doors looking for an exit, when I opened a doors foul smell hit me. I was horrified as to what was inside.

It was Scott's head stuck to a mannequin body. I tried to scream but  Theo covered my face with a cloth, knocking me unconscious.
