Taken

Chapter 21

"You have half an hour before I come back so make it quick. Chris watch over them while we go discuss some stuff." Hunter says before the three of them leave.

"I don't understand why I get stuck with you and those idiots get to tag along with him." Chris says before pulling out his phone and ignoring me. I walk over to the girl and open the bag with shaky hands, it's been a while since I used makeup. I begin to put on some foundation but my hand slips and I end up dropping the bottle and spilling it. I close my eyes as I hear Chris get up and make his way towards me.

"How could you be so stupid?!" He says before his hand hits the back of my head, causing my vision to blur for a few seconds.

"Chris please it was a mistake." I tell him but he only gives me a dirty look and sits back down, mumbling a few things about me. I use what is left of the foundation and begin applying eyeliner. Suddenly the girl's eyes flutter open and she starts flailing her arm everywhere and I quickly back away.

Chris walks over to her and grabs her wrists, causing her to panic even more. His hand connects with her cheek and she quiets down, tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Shut up, you belong to us now. There is no reason to fight back." He tells her. "What's your name?" He asks.

"C-crystal." She tells him in a shaky voice.

"Alright Crystal now be a good girl and sit still for Katie or there's gonna be consequences." He tells her and she quickly nods her head. "Hurry up" Chris tells me before throwing the makeup bag at my face. I quickly crawl back over to Hannah and sit in front of her.

"W-who are you?" She asks and I quickly put my finger to my lips to shush her.

"I'm Katie. I'm stuck here just like you, I'm sorry you weren't able to get away. I'm going to try and help you though." I whisper and she nods. I had an idea, I wasn't sure if it was going to work but she looked healthier than me so at least she could get away and get help.

"I'll be back girls. Don't do anything stupid." Chris says before he gets up and leaves. Once I knew he was gone I continued with my plan.

"Okay when I tell you to run, you just run. You are in the middle of nowhere but hide in the forest, then get help. I may not make it but tell them where we are, and our names; Katie woods and Hannah Crescent." She nods but I can tell she was doubtful of my plan, and to be honest so was I.

I picked up the curling iron and made sure it was hot enough. Chris walked back into the room after a few minutes and sat on the couch. I picked up the foundation bottle and dropped on the floor causing it to shatter everywhere. Chris stomped over to me as I suspected, but this time I swung the curling iron and it connected with the side of his face. He let out a loud scream before he dropped to the floor.

I shouted for Crystal to run and she did, she managed to escape through the door and I sighed with relief. Before I was about to get Hannah and run, someone came up behind me and placed their hand over my mouth and waist. I tried to get away but they had a strong grip on me.

"What's wrong Katie? Thought you could get little Hannah and run away?" Chris' voice was sinister and a tear slid down my cheek. "What you did was very stupid Katie and you will need to pay the consequences. Crystal won't get far, the other boys are already after her."

He kicked my shins and I fell to the floor and he walked over to until he was facing me. A bit of his eyebrow was singed off and his forehead was a little red, he was holding his belt. My eyes were wide as he walked back around. I quickly crawled away but I immediately felt a blow towards my back. I fell onto my stomach but I got back up and turned to face Chris.
