As I stared into Austin's eyes, I see nothing but darkness. I'm confused. What is he talking about? A tunnel in the restaurant? My silence must have ticked him off because I'm the blink of an eye, he got up off the bed and slapped me.
"Don't you dare lie." I feel tears in my eyes but I don't let them show. So I close my eyes tightly and hope that this nightmare will be soon over.
"I don't know nothing." Is all I say and when I open my eyes, I can tell that my answer isn't what he wanted. As he stares down at me, I know what he's about to do, so I jump to my feet and try to run towards the door but Austin grabs me by my hair and yanks me back.
"Mm!!!" My muffled yell isn't heard as he clamps his hand on my mouth while he continues to pull my head back until it hits him.
"You might wanna think about your answer next time cause if you say something that I don't like, I'll be forced to hurt that pretty little face of yours." He whispers in my ear and I shut my eyes. I thought about wishing that this nightmare would be over but I've realized that this nightmare will never be over. I will die here.
Austin removed his hand from my mouth and turned me to face him. I looked into his eyes. It felt like he was watching my every move. It was like he knew what I was thinking and what I was feeling.
It was like he knew what I was going to say.
"I'm telling you the truth. My family has never told me about some-" is all I can get out when suddenly Austin punches me in my face and I go unconscious.
****
"Mmm." I groan out as I force my eyes open. Looking around, I can see Austin and those men from the day when we were in his office, staring at me. I tried to move, but I couldn't.
Looking down, I saw that my wrists and legs were tied by rope to the chair that I sat in.
"What is this? Get me out of this!" I yell and try to yank my arms from out under the rope but it's too tight.
I'm stuck.
"Im trying my hardest to be patient with you Alyssa. I don't want to hurt you but I will if I have to." Austin says as he comes towards me and crouches down.
"You keep asking me something I don't know about! How many times do I have to tell you?!" I can see that he's getting pissed off by the second and I know it's only a few minutes from him losing his patience and hurting me even more.
Austin stands up, ready to throw a punch at me but some guy comes up behind him and stops him. He whispers something in his ear and Austin stops moving. His shoulders drop and he sighs before turning around and going to his mini bar.
"I'm sorry for my brothers behavior. He's very inpatient. I'm patient up to a point, but in order for me to help you and save you from my brother, I need you to be honest. Do you know anything about the tunnel?" I shake my head no. Tears were already rolling down my eyes.
The guy stares at me for a minute and sighs.
"Very well." He turns around, looks up at this other guy, and nods. I look at that guy and see him pull something out of his belt.
A gun....
"We can't have any loose ends. Sorry princess." The guy with the gun says and before I can even plead with him for my life, he points the gun at me and pulls the trigger.
The last thing I thought of was my family. My mom, my dad, my brother, uncle Mike, uncle Brody, and uncle James.
