Suffocation

Chapter Ten

Sam’s POV

I felt someone grab me, pulling me up.

“Let me go!” I screamed.

I struggled, trying to get away. I felt something hard and heavy come in contact with my head. My vision blurred and I fell limp to the ground, before everything went black.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

I slowly opened my eyes.

…Darkness…

I tried moving, to only find that I was tied to a chair. Then everything came back to me.

Who was that at the beach? Where am I!

I heard someone laugh quietly. I froze.

“I see you've finally woken up.”

I felt someone’s hand run down my face.

I screamed but it came out muffled.

“I had to take extra precautions. Couldn't have you screaming you’re little head off now could I.”

This is a dream. This is a dream. Just a dream.

“Don’t worry darling, I don’t plan on harming you…yet. I just wanted to examine you, I guess you could say. I've noticed that Ash-lee and you have been spending quite a lot of time together. Why is that?”

I felt him rip the tape off my mouth. I whimpered quietly.

“I-I don’t know..”

“Of course you don’t…”

Ash-lee..save me…

“Tsk. Tsk. So weak…”

I yelped when I felt his hand travel up my shirt.

“So innocent. Only if you knew all the skeletons that lay in Ash-Lee’s closet. Forgotten, left to deteriorate. I just don’t see what he sees in you. Why are you so different..from..the others.”

I heard the sound of scissors.

“Wh-What are you..doing?”

I felt him cutting at my shirt, before pulling the tattered cloth off my body. He placed a fresh piece of tape on my mouth. Everything was quite for a moment.

I felt a cold, sharp object touch my skin. He slowly dragged it down my chest. I cried out in pain. He laughed. I felt his lips touch the wound on my chest, licking at it.

What is he doing?!

I struggled to get out of the chair.

I have to get out of here. I have too!

Ash-Lee’s POV

I finally reached Sam’s house. No one seemed to be home. I walked up the long drive way, knocking lightly.

No answer.

“That’s weird..” I said to myself.

Maybe he’s at the beach.

I made my way to the beach. When I got there, I spotted a towel were Sam usually sits, but he was no were to be found. I took out my cell phone, sighing. I dialed his number.

“Come on Sam, pick up, please.”

-Ring ring-

Sorry I missed your call, leave me a message and I’ll get back to you.

“Shit..” I slammed my phone shut.

Where could you be Sam.

I quickly opened my phone, texting Rae.

Hey, have you seen Sam?

I got an immediate reply.

What makes you think I have?

I was just asking cause I can’t find him..

Oh, that’s to bad..

So have you seen him?!

Can't say I have…

If you do happen to run into him, tell him to call me…

I’ll be sure to pass on the message. :)

I closed my phone. I laid down at the towel, staring up at the cloudy sky.

Where are you Sam.

I laid there for a moment, thinking.

Did I scare him away? Was it me? Did I do something…wrong..

I was pulled from my deep thought by the ringing of my phone. I picked it up looking at the Caller ID.

Restricted

“Who would be calling me from a unknown number?” I said, out loud.

“Hello?”

“Ash-Lee!”

“ Sam?! Where are you."

“Ash-Lee save me! Please.”

“Where are you?!” I screamed into my phone.

There was a click, and the line went dead.

“Sam!!!”

I got up running to my house.

I have to find Sam..I have too.

I felt tears falling from my eyes.

I’ll find you Sam, I promise.
