CHAPTER THIRTY
CASSY
––––––––
I’m trapped. Inside my head. Inside my body. Everything is confusing and I don’t know how to get free.
My mouth is full and...I can’t move my arms.
I’m stuck in...
Where am I?
Josh. Help me. Why isn’t he here?
Am I asleep?
My eyes widen when I hear an explosion. The world around me shakes.
Oh god.
Isaac. Oh fuck.
Fear slams into me; my body trembles as something bangs into me.
“Help!” I try to scream, but I can’t speak or barely breathe, so I focus only on doing that.
“Shit, what was that?” someone asks, and a load of people are talking.
“Give it to me. I’ll take it out to the recycling.” I hear Isaac say. “I have to take this load outside, anyway.”
Oh no, no, no. It is him.
Tears leak from my eyes as my heart crumbles in fear, knowing that if he has me, then something really bad must have happened.
“Thanks, man.”
“No problem.” Isaac answers.
Are we still at the hotel? I try to move, but I’m still trapped. I’m tired, and can’t think...
I drift off, then the bumping starts again. Then yet again, while I’m fighting to stay awake.
The movement suddenly stops, and I drift into darkness again even as the panic continues to flow through me.
Josh.
Help me, Josh.
His face appears, then it swirls into a confusing swirl of aliens and dragons. Damn you Scarlet and your Men in Black ideas.
Am I drugged?
I try to fight it, but it’s useless. Then I feel chilly air and hands on me, moving me as my eyes blink open.
“My pretty Cassy,” the voice of my nightmares says. “Have you missed me?”
Not for a second, you sociopathic nightmare.
I struggle in his arms and he tsks me.
“You look beautiful tonight. This dress,” he says, then I feel his hand on my breast.
Vomit catches in my throat.
It runs down my body and onto the skin of my thighs when my red dress splits.
“Finally, we are together Cassy. I promised you, didn’t I?” Isaac moves his hand to my panties.
No!
Josh!
I try to yell and wriggle, but he’s too strong.
“Oh, you like that, do you, dirty little slut? You will just have to wait for my cock. We have to move fast.” Then his finger breaches the edge of my panties, and my body goes as stiff as a surfboard. “That’s a little taste. Look at you getting all wet.”
Dizziness fills my mind as my head falls back.
Help me!
Someone.
Anyone.
Arms slip right under me, and I’m lifted. I feel all my hope vanish as I hear the sound of a beeping car lock.
“Let’s go home, Cassy.” I hear him say as I’m lowered into a hard, chilly space.
Then it’s dark again, and I know my life is over.
