Anna.

CHAPTER 26

Anna woke up with a start her throat felt like sandpaper and her legs were cramped. She opened her lids slowly and imagined she was in their hotel room with Venice but alas it was a fantasy in reality she was stuck in a dingy room that ozzed stale odour and cardboard boxes were stacked at both ends of the wall of the room leaveing her placedin the middle of the room like some sort of sacrifice in the slaughterhouse.

Her hands and feets were tied up against the chair and her mouth was concealed with a black Selotape that would surely hurt like hell when removed that's if she survived damn she had to survive she owed it to her mum and herself to survive. Who was keeping her hostage and what did they want from her the last thing she could remember was talking to that stranger in black.

Venice had he discovered she was missing he would be so pissed at her. He warned her not to get in trouble now look he was right she had a knack for trouble and if she hadn't insisted on having that stupid ballon all thses wouldn't have happened tears fell ceremonialy across her face she would still be with Venice at this moment it was all her frigging fault.

What was the time her eyes darted across the wall but she couldn't locate a clock was the meeting over? she hoped he hadn't missed the meeting. She couldn't just sit there doing nothing she tried to scream but it came out muffled and whiny like a rat . she struggled against the tight rope all to no avail .

What if it was those damn traffickers that had her she stopped dead in her efforts to free herself. it made sense she couldn't think of anyone else who would want to hurt her. She will get out of this one way or another she won't let them ruin her life again. Using every ounce of strength she could muster she struggled against the tight rope it ripped her skin raw but she didn't budge.

The door creaked open to reveal a man in masks. Who are you? what do you want from me why are you doing this get me out of here now. she hurls at him when he removed the tape covering her mouth. it had hurt like hell as expected but she didn't care at the moment.

Drink he brought a glass of water close to her mouth.

She tried to make out the person from the sound of his voice but couldn't place it. She shouted at the top of her voice someone please get me out if here. Help me!!!!.

Shit shut up stop it will you even though you shout from now to noonday no one will would hear you the man in mask replied her.

Drink up now you don't know when you will get another cup of water.

She eyed him and the glass of water in hatred angrily she swept the glass of water away from his hands with her hair and it's shattering sound resounded across the whole room.

It earned her a slap to the face b***h look what you caused.

I will do more if you don't get me out of here.

Shut up shut the hell up else I will hit you again he furiously walked out from the door. He continued walking till he reached outside and the clean breeze of the woods filled his lungs. Forgetting to lock the door of Anna 's room he dialed a call. Damnination what the heck had he gotten himself into? before he could answer his question his phone beeped.

Hello what's going on?

I have the gal.

what do you mean by that did I tell you to kidnap her?

I know but you were saying how you wanted to hurt Venice and all while I was trailing them I figured he was fond of her and it would hurt him if she disappeared.

You moron what will you do with her now and I can assure you it wouldn't hurt him one bit. she's just a P. A not his girlfriend.

Not from my point of perception ma'am but we can get rid of her and pin it on him.

Did you just say "we" all of this is on and better don't mess up because if anything gets out you know the consequences the phone clicked shut.

Damn it he spewed a string of curses at himself and her.

Meanwhile while he was busy with his call Anna was equally busy Immediately he had walked out from the door she had picked up a piece of the broken glass with great pains and tried to cut the rope with it. Scared of being caught she had hurt herself unintentionally but finally the rope had given way and she was freed holding the glass tighly in her palms she gently advanced towards the door.

Her whole body ached and she felt dizzy but she had to keep moving and be strong nimbly sneaking outside she came out the moment her kidnapper was on the call his back turned to her when he turned around without wasting any second she went for the kill . she stamped him right in the face with the glass numb for a moment from the cries of pain he enumerated her brain shifted telling her this was her moment to escape. She ran but was curtailed with hands crawling at her thighs she fought away his hands by kicking his grions and ran like her life depended on it because it actually did.

* Don't give up on your dreams they were given to you for a reason.
