His Redemption

Chapter 5: Kidnapped

Marigold Fawn's POV

"Come on Mari, you never come out with us, we are your friends man, spend some time with us outside of uni as well" my friend Kate said in sadness. I gave her a sad smile. I couldn't go and hang around with my friends as I had damn chores to do at home and if I wasn't home on time I would get hit and let me tell you, it wasn't a nice feeling at all. I once tried it and now regret it and since then I stopped hanging around with my friends after uni. 

"I'm sorry Kate but I need to be home today, um I-I have relatives coming over so I need to help my mom" I lied. My friends didn't know about what happens at my house so I always had to create excuses to go home. My other friend Beth looked at me with a sad cute pout making me chuckle. "You never spend time with us but as you have family coming over I'll let you go" Kate said sadly. I hugged her tightly as I sighed. "I am sorry once again" I apologised. She smiled and laughed it off, "It's ok" she said and walked away with Beth. 

I sighed in sadness, I couldn't even spend time with my friends because of my pathetic family. 'Family?', I scoffed, they are not my family. It was winter so it would get dark early. It was now 7pm and it was dark and cold outside. I was going to walk home today as my car broke down yesterday and if I complained to Leo about it he would have just slapped me and say I am being un-appreciative. 

As I was walking I could feel like I was being watched. I stopped and looked around but the streets were empty. I continued to walk faster as I wrapped my coat tightly around me. All of a sudden I heard footsteps behind me making my heart beat faster in fear. I walked even faster and heard the footsteps get faster as well. I quickly looked behind and saw a dark figure in a hoodie following me. My eyes widened as I started to run as fast I could. I could hear him run as well making me realize I am in so much trouble. 

I knew self defence but I was so scared as there was no one around and it was so dark as well. I ran and ran breathing heavily but his footsteps didn't stop. All of a sudden a figure knocked me down with his entire body as we both fell on the floor. His face was covered with a mask as he hovered over me. I trashed around and punched him on his cheek making him groan in pain as he moved back. I kicked him in his lower part and stood up to run but he grabbed my leg and pulled me back down. 

I punched, scratched and kicked him when I had the chance. "Stop moving b***h" he groaned and held my arms behind my back. "HELP, SOMEONE HELP ME" I screamed but my mouth was covered with a cloth and I knew it was chloroform. I held in my breath not wanting to take in the scent. 

He firmly pushed the cloth over my nose and mouth as I continued to trash around. 'I was going to die'  I thought to myself. I would never be able to live my dream of being a fashion designer and getting my freedom. Tears fell out of my eyes as darkness took over my body.
