Still Searching.

I could barely breathe in the boot of Boston’s car.

He’d tied my hands and ankles too, so I could barely move.

It stunk of gym socks and sweat and my head was placed harshly on something hard and cold. My ears were ringing and my eyes wet.

I didn’t hold the tears back as I heard the car start up.

God knows where he’ll take me.

We rumbled on and on, and I had no idea which direction we were going in. Hours went by, and soon I didn’t know whether it was night or day. I knew if I didn’t get out soon, the air would get too thick and I’d pass out. But I couldn’t scream. The tape on my mouth held my voice in my throat. I looked around the darkness, straining my eyes, but seeing nothing but black. I felt my eyes drooping as I dreamed of my bedroom at home, how Clara would be cooking dinner by now…

CLARA! That’s it! She’ll get worried soon; she’ll come looking for me!

I felt a flicker of hope in my now dreary soul. And that was the last thing I sensed before falling unconscious…

***

I woke, still shrouded in darkness. The flicker I felt before, had deceased.

I felt around a bit, then my heart jumped.

The car’s stopped!

I fumbled my hands around a bit in the tight rope, feeling for something, anything.
As I searched the bottom of the car, I heard clicking. It was coming from the outside of the boot. I shut my eyes and pretended to me asleep, afraid of what Boston would do to me if he saw me awake.

A burning light hit my eyelids, pleading my eyes to open.

I shut them tighter as I felt Boston lift my limp body out of the boot.

I felt him place me in the hands of someone else. Their touch, softer. Their skin, warmer.

I heard footsteps across gravel, a car door slam, and a car pull away.

I didn't dare open my eyes to the stranger that was holding my lifeless body now.

My muscles were stiff and my head hurt as I was placed in another car.

I mentally thanked the person for not putting me in the boot.

I’m placed across the back seat, lying down, and face up.

The door shut, and footsteps walked away. I saw this as my chance to open my eyes, to check my surroundings.

I opened my eyes, and they stung with light. I blinked furiously several times before I could see at least a little. I pained my eyes to see outside, even though I was lying down.

I cursed. We were in the middle of nowhere!

I quickly shut my eyes as the footsteps came closer again. The driver got in the car, and we slowly pulled away.

The curiosity was eating at me.

Who was the person in the front?

Why’d Boston give me to them?

What’s going on?!

And after a while, I’d had enough. I needed to see whose hands my life was in. I mean, Boston is the one who wanted to kill me, right? This person was probably merely a friend, taking me while Boston went back to Fulton and pretended to be a worried friend, reassuring my extremely upset family everything would be ok, when he was the one that took me from them in the first place.

I decided to open my eyes on three.

One…

…

Two…

…

Three!
