MARRY ME NOW

Oh God, please save me… I cried over and over again. No one was going to help me this time, there wasn’t any glimpse of hope. If anything happens to me, I’d just hope nothing bad happens to Anne. My poor baby deserves a normal life.

I closed my eyes and waited for what was going to happen. It was sickening, what was happening. Tears just flew out of my closed eyes. Suddenly, the car stopped.

The man redrew his hand from my thigh. I breathe out in relief. “What’s that?” He asked the dude driving.

“The cops.” He replied. My eyes widened, and I could scream. The driver rolled down the front window. I was about to scream but a hand clamped my mouth, and I felt the cold metal on my head again.

“Wasn’t this the car we saw last night?” Whoever was outside asked.

“Yes, it is.” Another one answered.

“Search the car, it’s a suspect for the crime happening here lately.”

“Copy that.” A man appeared in the front glass and asked for the driver’s ID. Hope something happens and they get these men to jail. He gave it to him.

How I wish the man could see me, then I’d be out of here.

“We’re going to have to search your car.”

“I have nothing in there.”

“Yeah, but still.”

“Open your trunk.” Another one said. Just as I thought he was going to do as they said, he didn’t instead, he brought out a gun. Two gunshots were heard, and I just had to scream. The car sped off. I heard Anne cry. She must have woken up.

“Would you fucking slow down?!” The dude next to me snapped. The only thing that had me glad about this was that the man could no longer touch me.

“No, there’s not much time. We have to get her to the airport now, it won’t be long till they catch up with us.” Airport?

“Damn it.” I heard him swear.

In less than 2mins, the car pulled down. The men behind me got out and I was dragged out of the car. I looked around frantically in search of Anne. And just then, she was brought out of the car.

“Please, give my child to me please!”

“Oh?” One said with a silly smirk, he was that jerk that had his hands on me. I wanted to slap him crazy.

“Now’s not the time, Zach! We have to get her on the plane!” Another one snapped at him. He frowned like a kid denied candy.

“Fine!” He said with a scowl.

“Now listen to me, Tessa. You’re going to behave and get in that plane, or you’d be shot and then your fucking child!” He threatened. I shook my head in terror.

Anne was placed in my arms. It was like they’d already arranged everything or they worked with someone in charge of this airport because in less than 30mins I was sitting on a plane with Anne next to me.

They were going to export us to another country. I have to get out of this plane. There was no way we were going to survive in some unknown country.

I was going to stand up when a lady in uniform walked up to me. “Please, sit down ma’am. The plane is about to leave.” And with that, she walked away without waiting for my reply. I gulped. I was lost.

A few words were said and the plane moved. Do not cry. Don’t you dare cry?

I looked down at Anne who was looking up at me. She smiled. She had no idea what was going on but seeing a smile on her face gave me hope. I didn’t lose everything… I had her, the most precious thing in my life.

“Are you crying?”

“No no, I just hurt my eyes.”

“I know where we are,” she said. “An aeroplane!” She shouted gaining attention from the people around us. She had always watched cartoons, especially the part where they are on an aeroplane.

She always wanted to enter one. Now I see why she’s so happy. I looked around uncomfortably as the people stared at us.

“Mommy, let’s stay in here forever.”

I wish we could… Or we could go to a place much safer, a place to hide us from the cruelty of the world, but it wasn’t that simple. No matter where I go or where I hide, someone would always look for a way to bring me out of that hiding place just to cause my life more pain.

The fact that I was forced in here was overwhelming, my dream of becoming an independent woman was also forced away. Now I have to live in fear for my and my daughter’s life.

Remember, even on the plane, you aren’t safe, so you better fucking behave if you don’t want your precious little girl gone. I winced recalling the words I was told before entering the plane.

I unconsciously looked around the plane for probably the 100th time now. I knew someone was watching me. My eyes caught the eyes of a stewardess. She was staring straight right at me for a few seconds then looked away.

Maybe she works for those people.

I stayed silent for the next few hours clutching Anne’s hand. “Mommy, you’re hurting me.” Only then I realized I held her hand too tight. I released her hand. I wanted to scream and let the people on this aeroplane know that there are kidnappers in this aeroplane…This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Mommy, I’m hungry,” Anne complained snapping me out of my thought. I looked around to see some people eating. Where ever we were being transported to was obviously very far. It feels like forever since we entered this plane.

“Uh…”

**** Third Person’s POV ****

Gwyneth couldn’t get any sleep. She toast and turned on her bed, she was worried for Tessa. She felt guilty for sending her away. But what could she do?

Her mind wandered off to Jake. He needs to know Tessa is gone. She couldn’t keep such a thing to herself and the people who threatened her wouldn’t know she was the one who told Jake. Would they?

With shaky hands, she picked up her phone and searched for Jake’s number. She clicked on it when she found it. He picked up the call on the fourth call.

“I have to tell you something about-” I believe you don’t want your family gone… Gwyneth gulped.

I’d keep my mouth shut if I were you. She remembered the threats of earlier. And here she was, about to tell someone. She winced. She didn’t want any harm near her family…

“What?”

“Sorry, wrong number.” She finally said turning off the call. She needs to put her family in a safe place… Before she says anything.

**** Tessa’s POV ****

after hours on the plane. We finally stepped down. When the plane stopped at first, I didn’t know what was happening until I noticed people coming out.

I took the clue and quickly walked out. I knew they were in there, those bad people. And I was right. As soon as I got out with Anne, I heard a few men calling out to me. Those men of earlier.

Haven’t they done enough? Transporting me to another country with nothing on me. I have a feeling that they were out to kill me. They would have done that instead of wasting money or time sending me here… So I don’t think that’s it.

I bent down and carried Anne in my arms then ran off. It was a good thing this place was crowded or I would have been caught by now. My legs were giving up. We soon reached a place where there weren’t many people. “Catch her, you idiot!!” I heard a man scream. I know they were talking about me.

I looked around, I was trapped! I spotted a huge wall. I could hide behind it. Running over to it. I took refuge. I heard footsteps. “Where is she?!”

“You see what you’ve caused, you fool!! If you weren’t sleeping running, we could have caught her.” One growled.

“Ugh, would you just shut up, she couldn’t have gone far.” The familiar voice from that car groaned.

“Well tell that to the boss and have her kill you!”

I heard running footsteps again. “Where is she?!”

“Well, this fucking moron lost her.”

“Oh really? Was I the only one chasing her?”

“Would you two stop fighting like morons! Look around. She must be here.. Somewhere.”

“Mo-” Anne almost said out loud. Clamping her mouth shut, she squirmed. Oh, God.

They must be searching now. I closed my eyes, silently praying. I heard their footsteps fade away. I stood there shaking for what seemed like hours.

Were they gone? I hope so. I peeped through the corner of the building if anyone was around. It was really quiet. It could be a trap…

It could also be not…

I waited 3 more minutes. If I leave now and they’re right there, I’m doomed. And if I stay and they come right here. I’m also doomed. My instincts told me nothing but to run away from here.

Believe your instincts…
