Want to Play A Game

JESSICA’S POV

I am scared that he will not get here fast enough. I want to keep moving, I’m afraid if I stop that they will find me. I am so cold as I’m wet and covered in mudd. My body can’t help but to shiver all over. As I bring my knees to my chest, trying to warm myself, even if it’s just a little.

I can hear as my stomach growls. I’m so hungry, but I just try not to think about food. As the phone vibrates, I don’t want them to hear it, so I decide to sit on it to silence it. I don’t want anyone to hear it to figure out where I’m hiding. I wonder how long it is going to take him to find me.

As I begin to doze off, I’m awakened by a voice that is starting to hunt my dreams. Praying that it isn’t Adam, please if he finds me, I have no clue what he will do to me not wanting to find out. I want to escape, but there is nowhere for me to try to escape that he won’t see me.

As I struggle to hide as best as I can, knowing he can’t see me from the bank. My body begins to shake, please no. As I can hear the footsteps getting closer. I decide to try to send Matt one last text knowing I’m about to be found. I type “he found me, like save me Adam Zeth has me, please help me.” I send the text hoping it goes through, and I bury the cell phone hoping he doesn’t find it to know I asked for help.

As the voices are getting closer, I hold my breath, trying my hardest not to make a sound. Not wanting to be caught, I can’t go back there, I just can’t. I never thought that this would be something that could ever happen to me. My mother must be worried sick. I hope he hasn’t hurt her.

All of a sudden, I hear water splash as I see the back of the legs of a man who jumped over the bank. Knowing when he turns around that I’m going to be seen. Tears begin to fill my eyes as my body begins to shake, knowing I am caught. Terrified of the things that he is going to do to me.

I hear the word I dread, “boss, I think I found what you have been desperately looking for.” I feel him grab a hold of my arm and pull me out of hiding as I hit my, already bruised, off the rocks that surround me. He puts me over his shoulders as he carries me up the hill. I kick and scream for him to put me down.

Then he throws me to the ground, I go to crawl away from them, but I feel as if someone grabs me by my hair. I’m forced to look when I see it’s Adam that has me by my hair. “You stupid bitch how dare you try to escape me. You brought a world of hurt for yourself.”

“Adam please just let me go, please don’t hurt me, I didn’t do anything to you.”

I feel a hard slap across my face that knocks me down to the ground, as I struggle to lift my head. As he grabs me by my hair and holds my face so that I can face him. “You took the only family I had left.”

I’m confused by his words, not understanding what he is talking about. But he is full of so much rage. He grabs my arm with such force, he makes my body fly forward into him. He drags me along as he is trying to force me in the car, I fight. Knowing once I get in his car that I’m not going to be able to escape.

As he begins to get frustrated, he then throws me down to the ground and begins to kick me. As he kicks me with such force he knocks the breath right out of me, it begins hard to breathe, then Pain takes over my entire body. He then grabs me by my throat, “you will fucking listen to me.” He then throws me in the back seat.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I go to say something he slaps me, “Don’t fucking speak unless I tell you too.”

I’m not sure how to respond, my body is radiating with pain. I want to escape, but I don’t have the strength to fight back. Then all of a sudden I start to hear loud bang noises that almost sound like fireworks. I’m not sure what is really going on. I go to sit up from my seat to look, but then I start to get light-headed before everything goes. I see Matt.
