Before It Struck Midnight

I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice.

"Princess? Is that you?"

I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out.

"You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body.

I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me.

"Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began.

"Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear."

I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes.

I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me.

"Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps.

"W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.

"What I mean is..." he began before abruptly stopping, until then, he never took his eyes off me.

The next thing I knew, he full-on charged towards me.

I heard chairs crashing down while I turned around, and just as I was about to run, I felt him grab me by my wrist, before he yanked me, as a result, I crashed straight into his chest.

My hands were on his big, broad chest right before he turned me around so that my shoulders were now against his pecks. Till then, I figured that this was probably just one of my many wicked nightmares until I felt the blade, from that knife he picked up, rest on my neck. As if it was an instinct, I grabbed his arm that was resting on my chest with my two small hands. In the same time, I tried to push my head back and away from the knife but it is near impossible as there is no space for me to move any further against his hard pecks.

Next, I hitched for air when I felt his breath, as it warmed my skin.

"Trust me... don't you dare, for a second, think that I will hesitate to hurt you, because I will if you disobey me..."

Hello, My name is Emma Evans.

A few nights ago... It was Halloween, my friends and I went to some kind of a Halloween party. I am not that that of person who likes to party but I just figured that I should get it over and done with, besides I had my friends by my side, so what could go wrong? Right?

I have learned that every party has a start or a beginning, they both really mean the same, the start is pretty self-explanatory. Every party has a middle, the middle being the part where most of the exciting things happen and where everyone gets wasted as fuck, and finally, the end. The end being where I finally get to go home, lay in my bed and sleep.

Everything went fine throughout the party, until 'the end' came. In fact, my end never came.

That is because I got kidnapped.
