I Must have been In a dream state as I saw flashbacks of what had happened in the room just before my body had shut off.
My eyes fluttered as they tried all they could to stay shut, all I could feel at that moment was fear.
Fear not just for me but for my child as well, the picture of the doctor hitting the ground and the blood covering the floor flashed across my mind and this time I gasped as I gained full consciousness.
I felt a sharp pain from my head, probably where I had fallen hard in and caressed the area while grimacing.
Apparently, I was in a truck with no idea of where I was being taken to, my mind kept on reflecting on who the men were and why I was abducted.
The truth was I had no idea what any of them were talking about, a part of me knew that I couldn't just be going through all of this for nothing, a part of everything that was happening had to be the truth.
I looked around as the car jerked, when my eyes came in contact with a man not sitting too far from me, I swallowed the lump behind my throat before giving a loud scream.
If they were thinking they would cart me away without a fight they were most definitely joking.
I kicked the man with the under of my feet when he tried holding me down but there was no way I was going to let that happen.
I kept on screaming at the top of my voice, "Get away from me you freak!" I scratched and bit at him, prepared to throw myself out.
It did look like he had the strength of ten men though, it was like fighting a lost cause but I wasn't gonna make it look easy for him.
"Stop all this or I'd be forced to snap your neck." He literally growled at me like the beast that he was.
Instinctively, I folded myself on the chair, as I forced myself to meet his gaze. “What do you want from me, I am certain you got the wrong person— I don't even… Know you…? ” My lungs tightened at the question.
I could not keep up with the fire in his gaze so I looked away.
He didn't say a word, nor replied to whatever I had been saying.
The look in his eyes showed that he was certainly not someone I could mess with and I instantly swallowed the lump that was forming in my throat as I was filled not completely with fear but agitation as well— I had a resentment toward these men, one that I never knew I could feel towards anyone, well asides Micheal though who had slept with my best friend, Amy.
It was best if I kept to myself, wasn’t it?
As doing anything to worsen the situation was certainly the last thing on my mind— Not with this stranger looking at me this way, I decided to look out the window instead.
“If you want to see your family again, just f*****g shut the hell up!" His voice came again when I started whimpering and this time, I chewed my bottom lip. He looked like someone that would certainly carry out his treat.
I felt a deep concern, as the car continued moving with me having no idea of where they were heading to.
Something twisted in my chest at the thought made me feel hollow. I pressed my back to the chair as I braced my hands on either side of the chair.
I sighed and tilted my head to have a proper look at his face but when I did, he caught me staring and I could see a smirk on his face that I hadn’t expected to be there.
As the minutes ticked by, I thought it was better if I just accept fate at least for the moment, hoping that something somehow happens..
It was all I could hope for as it looked certain that I had been abducted.
The car slowed down and came to a halt.
"What happened?"
"Guess we’ve got a punctured tire." The man answered.
I looked around at where we were and it looked like we were traveling right through the woods, I could hear the man beside me groan, irritated by whatever was happening.
He got out of the car and after looking outside for a while I did the same.
This was not about fighting any longer, it was about outsmarting these men.
“Can I ask for something?” I said walking toward the one that had claimed the baby —He should feel a kind of empathy toward the child if it was really his.
“Shoot,” he drawled without looking at my face.
I said it before I could stop myself. “I want to take a leak so badly.”
He watched me for what seemed like a long minute, wondering why I would want to do that at a time like this, I think.
My heart ached is as he stilled for a moment, and with a sinking sensation in my belly I wondered if I’d taken it too far. If he would say no.
“That’s what you want?” he asked.
I looked around again, acting pressed, I had to sell myself to these people one way or the other.
“Yes.”
In the next moment of silence, the anticipation of his answer wrapped around my lungs and squeezed hard right at it.
"Fine, I will come with you "
I groaned "I am quite private about my things."
His face came up to mine. Our gazes met. Lips inches apart.
"Fine then."
He walked back to the car and got at a rope, he circled it round me in a good boy scout knot as the knowledge of what he was preventing settled between us, mixed with the smell of motor oil and the wood.
"You can leave."
It felt more like a command to me as I set out into the woods and as quickly as I could, I ventured deeper into the woods, wondering how far the rope could stretch.
I looked back at the man again from a distance, too bad knots were the easiest for as soon as I was out of his sight, I was out of his knot as well…
