SARAH (Tender Beauty)

EPISODE 5

SARAH POV:

As I raced out of the house, I observed that it was an unfinished structure. The only thing I saw were shrubs when I looked around. I noticed a little trail and began going quickly behind it. I'd always been terrified of the dark, and I began to consider going back within seconds.

My hair was tangled in the leaves, and my feet stung from stepping on several stones with my bare feet. I was terrified; I heard various noises, but the most annoying aspect was that I had no idea where I was.

Fear gripped my heart as I considered the possibilities of snakes and other frightening animals lurking in the jungle.

When I turned back and saw the bushes, my pulse rate shot up several notches, and I was soon sprinting. I thought I heard footsteps behind me, but it turned out I was only hallucinating. I didn't even consider stopping, and the moon seemed to dim as well. I noticed a road ahead of me, just as I thought the way headed to the end of the world. I sighed loudly and accelerated my pace until I arrived. I stood there trying to remember if I'd ever been there before in the hopes of finding a route out, but I couldn't locate anything.

The road seemed barren, and I began to wonder if anyone had ever driven down it. I began walking higher, but my feet were hurting so badly that I was afraid they might bleed.

I remembered I was carrying my bag, so I opened it, praying that my phone was still inside. I zipped it up and there it was. When I turned it on, I noted that it was beyond twelve o'clock, and a message appeared almost quickly. I recognized it was from Hannah when I opened it. She was inquiring as to why my phone was turned off. I instantly realized how fortunate I was to have Hannah as a best friend. I was going to dial her number when I realized I had no idea where I was. I increased my efforts till I reached a T intersection. I noticed the street name "Alexandra Street" thanks to the government's excellent job. I contacted her number right away and all I got was, "the number you have dialed is switched off thank you"

ADAM POV:

Adam arrived home late from the concert with a searing headache. The headache began as soon as he fixed his gaze on Sarah, and it worsened as she was summoned to the altar to sing. He hadn't seen her in nearly two years, and he had hoped he wouldn't, but fate had other plans.

He walked into his home and slumped on his bed. He had a one-bedroom apartment, though it was quite large. His room was not too nice because he was a bachelor. His eyes welled up with tears, but he fought them back. His mind wandered back to the time he met Sarah, and despite his dissatisfaction, a smile appeared on his face.

She was sitting on the university's field, reading a book, when a man approached her. When the large headed goat approached her, he had been watching her for more than ten minutes. He could tell she didn't enjoy his presence by her expression, so he rushed over to her. When he arrived, he wanted to beat the crap out of that person, but he kept his cool. When she glanced at him that day, she had a very attractive expression on her face. People had told him he was handsome, but until Sarah looked at him, he didn't believe them.

He got out of his chair and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of cool beer. He had been friends with Sarah for over a year before asking her out, which she accepted after some persuading, and then he had blown them apart with his recklessness just a week after her mother's death, exactly six months into the relationship. He began drinking right after he left her because he was unhappy and miserable. He recognized she was his source of joy at that point.

**********************************************************************************************

He looked about the small room, and when he was satisfied that everything was in order, he looked at the spot where the girl was sleeping, and when he saw nothing, his eyes widened. He went up to Dagger, who was still snoozing, and booted him so hard that he instantly awoke.

“What is your current problem?” Dagger enquired.

"Can you tell me where the girl is?"

"Which girl?" . The dragon growled.

"What kind of stupid question is that?" "Can you tell me where the girl we brought here is?"

Dagger turned to look around and shouted,

"Oh boy, we're in serious trouble." I'm not sure where she is."

They both headed off to find Sarah without saying anything.

HANNAH POV:

As Jack and Hannah drove to Sarah's house, they observed that the road was empty and that they didn't have to worry about traffic. Hannah was concerned that something was amiss, so Jack took her hand in his while steering with the other.

"Don't worry, honey; I'm confident she'll be fine." "Why don't you give her a call, she might have turned on her phone," Jack said.

Hannah nodded and reached for her phone, only to discover that it was switched off. "Oh, the battery is dead," she explained, "so give me yours." Jacck handed her his phone, and she dialed Sarah's number, which she remembered off the top of her head, and the phone rang. When the phone rang and she heard, she almost danced for excitement.

“hello…”

ME. MARCUS POV:

Mr. Marcus was attempting to sleep but was unable to do so. He couldn't sleep because he was too delighted. He stood up again to double-check that he had packed everything he needed for the journey and verified that he did.

He had resigned from his work as a cashier in the middle of the day, despite the fact that he was on leave and would not be back until the following week. He sighed contentedly as he returned to his bed.

His strategy had worked because he couldn't suppress his joy.

He smiled devilishly as he remembered Sarah. He thought, "Well, that stubborn bastard felt she wouldn't be useful for anything, but I've proven to her that I always get my way whenever I want."

He lay over in his bed and began to reflect on his life in London. He hadn't traveled in a long time and wanted to make sure he didn't return as an ordinary man. 'I'd be stunningly wealthy again,' he muttered aloud before falling asleep.

SARAH POV:

I sobbed as I walked down the lane.

My life seemed to be deteriorating by the day. I was on the verge of passing out when my phone suddenly came to life and I grabbed it up nearly immediately.

"Hello, Hannah, "Thank God you phoned," I replied, my eyes welling up with tears.

"Sarah, what's the matter?" I'd been calling for what seemed like an eternity, are you all right?” she enquired.

"No, you simply need to see me, but I urgently require your assistance; I'll tell you everything afterwards."

"I knew you weren't feeling well; jack and I are already on our way to your place."

"Don't go there,  I'm not there." I'm currently on Alexandra Street. I'm not familiar with the area, but that's where I'm at, on the road."

"What are you doing there, and where are you going?" "Jack knows the spot, remain where you are baby," she stated after pausing to ask Jack.

"We are on our way."

As I gazed up at the sky, the breeze grew colder, and I realized it was about to rain. As I fought to control my tears, they became more frequent. I noticed the bushes moving and assumed it was because of the breeze. I moved slowly in order to make myself visible. I stood very motionless when I heard what sounded like footsteps, but I almost fainted out when I heard two people's voices approaching.

I quickly assessed the surroundings and ran discreetly to a place where the vegetation was thicker. I entered the jungle without considering the possibility of encountering snakes or scorpions. I spotted two men who I recognized as the men who kidn*pped me; they were obviously looking for me. Even my breath seemed to stop as I stood perfectly motionless. They began examining the area, and when one of them turned to face me, I expected him to recognize me right immediately and pull me out of the bushes, but instead he turned away. I exhaled deeply but remained motionless for fear of revealing myself.

One of them put his hands on his head and exclaimed, "I'm in danger."

What type of sleep did we have, and what are we going to tell David now?" the other inquired.

I checked my memory to see if I recognized David, but I didn't.

"David isn't as bad as Mr. John, because he'll murder us," the first man remarked. "Dagger, you are to blame for this disaster; why did you fall asleep when I told you to keep an eye on the girl?

"You are not okay," replied the other, whose name I had now learned was Dragon. Isn't it true that I should keep an eye on you while you sleep?"

Dagger came to a halt when he noticed anything.

“Dragon….” He yelled out to him and directed him to a specific location. They both gazed in that direction, and I found myself doing the same. I noticed a light that appeared to be a headlight.

My mind immediately raced to Jack and Hannah, and I began planning how I would get my phone out without attracting their attention. I noticed the two males moving backwards, as if they were attempting to conceal themselves.

I took out my phone and phoned Hannah's number. As I spoke quietly, she picked up almost quickly.
