Ashley thought she was having a
nightmare when heard a soft creak and opened her eyes in the darkness, not able
to make out much until a shadow loomed over her. The shadow was very familiar.
Before she could scream, a gloved hand covered her mouth pressing tightly
against her lips. She began to struggle, kicking and clawing at his head.
She felt a poke in her right
arm and her body went limp and the shadowed figure picked her up and threw her
over his shoulder, carrying her from the room and slipped quietly downstairs
and out the front door, taking the time to lock it before he walked down the
steps of the large front porch.
Ashley’s long hair bounced up
and down, her head bobbing up and down, her limp body hanging over his
shoulder, as the figure carried her around the back of the house toward the
woods.
She woke a few minutes later,
groaning softly and slowly opened her eyes. Ashley had a massive headache and
she realized she couldn’t see. She felt something covering her face and she
could taste musty smelling fabric in her mouth. Ashley realized she was gagged
and had something over her head to keep her from seeing.
Ashley started to scream, the
sounds muffled from the gag in her mouth. She struggled, twisting her arms and
felt the burn of rope around her wrists. When she moved her legs, she heard
chains clanking together and felt the metal shackles on her ankles. Whoever
took her tied her up and covered her head to prevent her from identifying them.
She could see faint light to
her left and heard crackling sounds and felt heat on her legs. There must be a
fire nearby. She heard someone clearing his voice and felt him near her.
“Please let me go. I didn’t do anything, please, please let me go.”
Whoever was near her didn’t say
anything and pulled on the ropes she was tied with to make sure they were tight
enough. Then Ashley heard a door open and she felt a cool breeze kiss her toes
and then heard another voice she didn’t recognize, talking to whomever
kidnapped her.
“I hope no one saw you. Why
haven’t you killed her yet? She knows too much and we have to get rid of her
now.” Randall said.
