Chapter Four
601 Words
Man's POV
Serenity and Rosey have been locked up in my cellar for a month now but they are simply not enough. I looked through some information about Kathrine McCarthy: a 20 year old pre-med student who has no clue what is about to happen to her.
I checked my watch as I sat in my truck that was parked across the street from Kathrine's home. 11:30. Another half hour and that girl is mine.
The house was dark except for a room upstairs that was dimly lit. Taking a deep breath, I got out of my truck and quietly snuck in the house, making sure that she was home alone. Before she could react, I put a cloth around her mouth, leaving her completely helpless and took her out to my truck, tied her arms up and drove back home.
I sat in the bedroom, waiting for the girl to wake up. She suddenly tried to sit up until she realized that she couldn't move. "Hello? Is someone in there?"
I stood up and looked at her. "Hello Kathrine."
"H-how do you know my name?"
"I have my ways."
"P-please let me go!"
I laughed and shook my head. "Welcome home."
"Home?"
Nodding, I shut the door and locked it. She can try and escape, but it's pointless. I am by far stronger than any of these women.
Serenity's POV
The sound of a woman screaming woke me up. "Rosey?"
The only sound in the room was dead silence before the door opened. "Ah, you're awake. Are you hungry?"
I shook my head. I was starving for weeks, but my fear has taken all of my appetite away.
"I have prepared a bowl of soup for you."
"I don't want it!"
He scowled and picked me up. "You are coming with me."
He took me to another room and took my clothes off. "W-what are you doing? Don't touch me!"
He grabbed a dress that was hanging up in a closet and put it on me. "There. Now you have some clean clothes."
"Please don't do this."
"Oh Serenity, you know the rules darling."
I wanted to see his face, but his bandana covered everything except for his eyes and nose. "Where's Rosey?"
"You will see her soon."
He grabbed me and carried me to another room where I saw Rosey tied up from her waist to her legs. "Eat."
I stared at the bowl and shook my head. "No thank you."
Scowling, he poured some water in a glass and set it in front of me. "Do not disobey me."
"But..."
He grabbed his knife and pressed the blade against my throat. "EAT AND DRINK! NOW!"
I looked at Rosey and she whispered, "Listen to him, Serenity."
As much as I hated to consider it, I was more hungry and thirsty than I thought. "Are you going to say thank you?" The man asked as he grabbed my bowl.
"T-thank you."
"I was nice allowing you to see your friend. Don't you think?"
"Please..."
He took a bottle that was on a table and filled it with water. "I am being nice."
"Why are you doing this?"
"So many questions you ask." He picked me up and took me back to the room. Tears slid down my face as I watched Rosey disappear. I hated being alone.
Once I sat on the bed, he tied my arms once again. "How am I going to drink?"
"You're smart, you'll figure it out."
"But..."
"No buts. Night night."
He stood up and shut the door behind him, leaving me all alone.
