This is my first story that I have ever published. With that being said I would love it if you could leave me a comment. Even if it's full of insults :)
This is not (professionally) edited.
"Please help me! There—there's this man and he… he's crazy! He kidnapped me! Please you have to help me!" I screamed out to a silhouette of a woman watering her garden.
I probable looked a little crazy myself with my clothes matted and dirty; my hair looking just as bad, it's usually red uncontrollable curls were knotted to one side of my head from where I had slept on the hard floor.
"Oh my…" the woman gasped. "Are you alright? Well, that's silly of me of course you're not alright…"
As I got closer to the woman I could see her face more clearly. She looked familiar. She appeared to be in her early 30's. Her light brown hair, her soft angles, and homely appearance made me think she was a mother.
The woman continued, "Does anything hurt? Would you like to come in?"
I nodded in gratitude to the last question.
She smiled kindly and motioned with her hand to go into the house. I took a hesitant step forward, which she noticed. She gently took my hand and led me into the home.
Before she closed the door she looked deeply into the forest that surrounded her house as if checking for something.
I shivered. I had a feeling I know what she was looking for.
After she finished have a glaring contest with the forest she closed the door.
"Now I suppose you would like a shower, correct?" She asked tenderly.
"Um… Yes, please."
"Alright. Would you like me to wash your clothes for you while you're in the shower? And I am sure you are starving. How about some sandwiches?"
I replied quietly, "If you could. And a sandwich sound perfect."
"Sure thing. I'll show you to the washroom." With that she led me to a big bathroom. She instructed me to leave my clothes outside the door and showed me how to work the faucet.
She turned to leave when I said, "Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry if I'm any inconvenience. My name is Grace by the way."
She turned back around and flashed me a smile. "It's no problem at all. You are safe now. And you can call me Nancy." With that she walked out to give me some privacy.
I sighed. I had had a long month. Or was it a week? I wasn't sure but it felt like forever.
After my shower I looked at the mirror and I was disgusted. What happened to that happy confident girl with sparkling green eyes?
I wasn't sure but I had a feeling she is hiding somewhere.
I left the bathroom and wondered down the hall. I found the kitchen and saw Nancy in there. She was eating a sandwich at a big table and right next to her was another plate.
When she saw me she gave me a smile and patted the seat next to her.
I began to eat and she chatted all the while to fill the silence.
When I was done she grew serious. "So do you want to talk about what happened?"
"Um…" I chewed on my lower lip, "I guess. I—"
I was interrupted by a knock on the door. I froze.
"Don't worry I will handle it." Nancy said in a calm voice. But her expression showed she was worried.
She went to answer the door and thankfully it was hidden by a wall so no one could tell I was in here.
"Hi have you seen a girl with red hair, green eyes and kind of short?" If my blood hadn't ran cold I would have scowled at the short comment.
I didn't hear Nancy's answer and I was suddenly scared for her. What if he hurt her?
I shot out of my chair. I had to get out of here.
The kitchen and dining room had two doorways leading out to the hall way and the living room. There was a back sliding door that I could probable ease open.
I tip toed over to the door and gripped the handle.
I listened for any hint of Nancy and the man at the front door. Nothing. Suddenly I heard a low growl that sent a shiver down my back but it wasn't from fear.
"Stop, Nick. You need to calm down. If you hurt her you will regret it."
The growling stopped. A gruff voice said "Mom she isn't listening. What else am I suppose to do?"
My eyes widened. Did he just say mom?
I didn't want to find out.
I slid the door open as quietly as I could and then took off running. I didn't make it far.
I had just run into the backyard when a growl erupted from the side of me. This growl was different, it was a warning.
I came to a stop and turned to the left. A huge brown wolf was crouched low ready to stop me if I attempted to leave.
Another growl joined in, this time from the right and an exact copy of the first wolf was there.
I turned forward to see if I could run into the forest and hopefully lose them when I saw another bigger wolf. This wolf was grey and stood tall watching me.
Sadly I knew these were not ordinary wolves.
"Where do you think you're going?" a voice taunted me from behind.
I spun around.
There stood a man that emanated power. He was tall and lean and in one word, sexy. His short hair was in disarray and his brown eyes were slightly darker than normal. His arms were coiled with muscles and his abdomen was chiseled to perfection.
This man was my kidnapper.
Wow. I'm not really sure how I feel about this. But I hoped you liked it!
ps. Sorry about the description of the "kidnapper" but I don't normal dothatkind of stuff.
pss. Please tell me what you think. What do I need to work on?
