Everything was so dark and I could hardly see anything that was around me. After tripping and stumbling a few times, I figured it out that it would be a better idea to sit down or else I knew I would my baby. Exhausted, I sat down on the floor and hugged my knees feeling little cold and scared.
Has Zachary find out that I’m missing?
The question kept on nagging my mind and internally I was growing even more desperate and agitated thinking why Zachary hasn’t come to get me and who kidnapped me. My thoughts wandered off to Kiara.
Where is she?
“Kiara...where ar-” I was cut off when I heard someone groaning.
Alert, I stood back up and held the bars of the gate thinking that someone was around who could me out. I heard someone groaning and groggily asking for water and then the voice died down. I was just about to call for help when out of nowhere a blood curdling scream caught me off guard and I stumbled a few steps back, surprised.
“What the fuck?” I heard the woman and immediately recognised the voice of Kiara.
It was Kiara.
“Where the fuck am I? I- I” and she screamed again and I heard something falling and the next moment she was banging something on what felt like iron rods and I was back on my place “Kiara?”
“J-Juliette?” I heard her frantic voice for help.
“Kiara? Where are you?” I called her and she sobbed before replying “I don’t fucking know, where the fuck am I? What the fuck is going on?” she cried and i heard her banging on the gate using something.
“I don’t know...when I opened my eyes, I found myself in here, locked inside this room and nowhere out! Nobody came to meet and I have screaming for help from hours,” I said as fast as I could.
“W-What happened? How did we even end up here? I remember making the pasta and we eating and...” she trailed off and kept quiet for some moments before speaking or should I say yelling “Did that fucking guards of yours do something to the chicken?”
“What?”
“When he got me the chicken, I felt little weird. He looked really nervous when he handed me the chicken, but I brushed it off thinking it was nothing and I was just being paranoid or something. Did that fucking man do something that made us pass out?“she exclaimed and I heard her groaning.
“Why the hell did I cook that chicken even if I knew that something was off?” she started blaming herself and I couldn’t help it any further and I cried.
“Juliette?” I heard he concerned voice.
“Kiara, my baby. I’m afraid for my baby. What if something happens to my baby. We don’t even know what we ate and here we are locked in this dark room. What if Zachary doesn’t get here on time? What if he never finds us?” I sobbed and for some moment she was quite and that made me think that probably she was worried about the same thing too but then she yelled.
“Hold yourself now! You are soon going to be a mother and I see this fucking attitude of yours! Don’t fucking scare me or the baby. Did you just forget what and who your husband is? I’m sure he is out there kicking some asses, now calm yourself down. Don’t tire yourself. Sit down and let me handle this,” she exclaimed and even though I had an idea that she was right beside my lock up, and even though I couldn’t see her, I knew that her knees must be wobbling and she was horribly scarred but she was just pretending to be strong in order to protect me and that literally gave me confidence for which I was thankful off.
“What exactly are you going to do?” I asked once I realised that she said to leave everything upon her.
“Oh! You know the obvious thing people do in this type of situation...call for help” and then she yelled at top of her voice “Motherfuckers get us out of here!”
It was probably the longest ever time, I found myself to be quite and all to myself as I slept on the ground exhausted facing the ceiling, even though I couldn’t really see anything. I was hungry and thirsty. Kiara on the other end continued to shout like a mad woman and giving me assurance that everything would turn alright. The situation was chaotic as I knew, the constant yelling of Kiara would only tire her and she would end up even more hungry than I was and then she would grow sick.
“Kiara stop it now!” I said once I heard her coughing but being the stubborn woman she didn’t stop.
“Get us the fuck out of here. Where in the world are we?” she yelled even more and I heaved a sigh.
To think that I was even doubting Kiara for single moment made me feel sick. How could I even doubt her? She was more of a sister to me than a friend and I had trusted her every moment in my life. Even though, she was scared at the beginning when my life threw me in this dark side of world, but slowly she put her feet in this dark water following me wanting to protect me. In the process, getting hurt and being adequate to the type of surrounding I was in.
