"We are next-door neighbours."
I laugh, oh cliché. "Well, that's cliché, I bet you hate each other."
"Well, Santiago didn't hate me but I hated him. He was so annoying."
"But now you'll be married to that annoying man."
"Yeah, and I want him to annoy me till my last breath."
We laughed at her words. "Come on, let's go to the bumper cars range."
After one and a half hour on about eights ride, we were famished. We walked over to a stand.
"I'm tired."
"I'm hungry." We spoke simultaneously and then laugh. We are twins after all. "Okay, since you're tired and I'm hungry. I'll go buy and buy something for us to eat while you stay here and wait for me." Ally suggests. I nod in agreement, too tired to talk. Those rides took a lot of energy from me. I need to rest.
Ally laughs as she walks away looking for a food booth. I stayed at the same spot looking around at the families enjoying themselves. I smile at the kids that are running around, they're so cute. I want to have a child in future. I want to have Alex's child. My child will have Alex's brows eyes, his brown hair, his dimples and his smile. I smile and imagine a little Alex running around.
After a couple of minutes of waiting I feel someone come behind me, something held to my stomach. My heart rate increase.
"Don't move, if you do, I won't hesitate to shoot you. Don't make any signs either, I'll know. You understand me?" the musky deep voice of a man said. Who was this man? What does he want with me? What did I do?
Oh lord help me!
I nod my head at his question.
"Great, now be a good girl and start working with me to the exit." I nod my head at his second command and start moving my feet. He held on to my waist and pulled me closer as we walk to the exit of the park. I want to scream, make a scene but I believe him, he said he'll kill me. I don't want to die, at least not yet. I almost died once since the month started.
I did as he told and we came out of the park and he leads me to an old beat-up pick-up truck.
"Get in," he opened the passenger seat and pushed me in. He then reached in his back pocket and took out a kerchief. He placed it around my eyes. Then I felt him duck tape my hands and feet. Not once did I try to escape, his gun was in his waist and I'm not ready to die.
"Be a good girl while I'm driving, I don't want to put a bullet in this beautiful body of yours so don't test me. After all, the boss doesn't want any girl with flaws. Can't sell a girl who has a bullet in her body, can we now?"
I become tense at his words, they were going to sell me.
This is human trafficking!
Oh my god, I'm going to die.
Alex please save me.
After seconds of trying to open my eyes, they opened. I looked at the surrounding, the place was dirty, broken tiles, rubbish all over the place. My heart rate increase when my eyes saw a man on a chair looking at me with his hands behind his neck, he looked amused.
"So you're finally awake. Good, the boss wants you to get ready. Can't have you smelling like that to meet him." he got up from his chair and went to pick up a bag of the ground. He walked to me and handed me the bag. "This is for you, all the things you need is in there. Hurry up and bathe, it's six o'clock, you've kept the boss waiting long enough."
He dragged me from the chair and pulled me to a tiny room which used to be a bathroom. He closed the door behind him. It was not as dirty as the room but it was still disgusting. The tiles are dirty and morass and moles on them. I felt like I was going to vomit. I looked around in the bathroom for a way to escape but failed. The walls were blocked, they were no windows, no vents, no way to escape.
I felt the first tear fell from my eyes, what's going to happen to me? I start sobbing loudly.
"Hey, no crying. Hurry up before I come in there and bathe you myself." My kidnapper said. He scares me, not only he had a gun but his unshaven beard was so unattractive. He looked like a killer, he probably is. Who kidnaps someone in front of hundreds of people? How did no one realize him taking me away? Why did he want me?
I entered the shower and turn on the pipe. Immediately ice-cold water started running and there wasn't any heater, could this get any worse?
I don't think so.
I let the tears fall as I tried hard to bathe with the old water, my body shivering under the water. I started to cry louder, he wouldn't hear me with all this water flowing.
Someone, please save me.
Alex where are you?
Are you looking for me?
"Please rescue me, Alex. I love you," I whispered between sops. If only he could hear my cries.
After I showed I took out the long dress that was in the bag. It is beautiful, red in colour. I put it on. I don't know what else to do. I don't want to die so I'll have to obey his commands. I don't want to die not telling Alex how much he means to me. Although it's a little too late for that. Here I am, in an abandoned apartment, or at least it looks abandon like no one has lived here in over a year. Maybe this is where he brought all the girls he kidnapped before he dressed them inexpensive clothing to meet his boss.
