She is the one by Asheslove (book recommendations for young adults txt) 📕

Fluttering I slowly opened my eyes. For once my vision was all blur, I blinked few time to clear my sight but everything around me appears dark and foggy. I moved my head to turn around feeling sour agonizing pain in my neck. 

I moaned in pain but the sound remains in my throat as something is gagged in my mouth preventing my voice from arising. 

Sudden stab of realization hit me when the past events rushed in my head. I was at the party with Nicolas and Leo... and...and after that....

Where am I?                             

Where is Nicolas?

I quickly aggregated my mind which was in state of blank and looked around me only to found myself in a small dark cell. There was a short glass almost cracked window at the side with bars behind it. The cell was cold and dreadful with a dim bulb hanging at the corner of the wall and I was sitting on a chair. I tried to move and felt my hands tied in restrains at my back with something rough like rope which was brushing my tied ankles and wrists but I was not tied to the chair.

I wiggled and tried to get my wrists release from restraints but all efforts in vain as they were tight and the rough scales of rope was digging in my skin as I tried more cutting the flesh.

Panic and fear sweep in every fiber of my body as realization strikes me like lightning bolt.

 I am kidnapped from that party. How?

Where is Nicolas, where is Leo? Oh my god I shouldn't have left the table.. I shouldn't have left the table, what should I do now?

My breathing run short and suddenly I started feeling extremely hot from inside, sweat beads appeared on my temple as all type of wild thoughts swirl at the back of my head bringing me at a high stage of panic. There was no one around me; I was alone in the dreadful dark cell. My eyes went towards the door but there were iron bars instead of place of door and I was locked inside.

I again twisted my wrists, jerked them trying to open those ties increasing my struggles but all my efforts bootless. 

Panic and fear was driving me at the point of insanity. I screamed but they died in my throat due to gag.

Elena calm down, calm down first. Take long deep breaths, relax....relax, don't panic, just calm down. My subconscious said.

I closed my eyes, inhaled sharp long breaths from my nose calming my nerves and counted up to 10 till my breath reached back to normal. 

The whole America must be celebrating thanksgiving today while I don't have any idea where I am, locked in this horrible dreadful cell somewhere. Why my life is this unforeseeable, why can't I have peace, I felt tears threatening my eyes but I hold them back, this is not time to become emotional and weak.

Who are these people, why I am kidnapped, thousands of thoughts were running in my head. I recalled the conversation I had with Nicolas few days ago; they kidnapped me to kill me, these people wants to kill me and I felt swamping in terror and fear.

No, it should be fine, it should be fine. I calmed myself, don't be scared Elena.

Nicolas...He won't let anything happen to me. He certainly will find me at any cost, he definitely will. And for the first time in these four months I wished and want nothing other than to see the man whom I hate the most and who destroyed my life.

Or, what if Nicolas won't be able to find me, what if it will take him long? What if...

The only thought frightened me to my core and I become panic stricken. 

No, no Nicolas will find me, I am sure about it I just have to stay put until then, he'll find me.

I felt my panic turning down as the thought of Nicolas finding me soon come to my mind. A relief overtook me, I was sure Nicolas will found me before anything happen to me or goes wrong and thinking this I calmed my racing heart but then again a wild thought came to my mind.

Before kidnapping Leo told me where Nicolas has kept my family, what if...what if they will think I escaped him again after finding about my parents. 

What if Nicolas thinks that I escaped instead of being kidnapped? He had my family, he will torture them, he will hurt them or maybe even kill them.

No, no, no... I felt tears floating in my eyes. The mere thought of something happening to them broke me apart bringing tears in my eyes. I don't care about myself but what about my family. A new fear overwhelmed me and this is stronger than the one I felt few seconds ago.

I can't depend on him, I can't trust him. He himself is nothing less than a devil, how can I forget about what he did to me, what if he'll kill my family. 

What should I do, what should I do? I don't know who kidnapped me, I don't know where I am, I don't have any idea why am kidnapped and most importantly I don't know how to reach him or contact him, until now he must have found me missing and turned wild.

I have to do something, I can't sit like this, I can't. I looked at the cracked glass window and a thought came to my mind.

I tried to get up from the chair, my hands still bounded at my back. It took me some efforts for getting up because of hands tied at back but bending my elbows after a struggle finally I managed to get up from the chair.

I pushed the chair with my free legs right under the window. I looked towards the iron bars to clarify there was no one standing out of the cell and stand on the wooden chair.

My body trembling in fear. I turned my front towards the locked bars of the cell and back against the wall, the window reach at my back above my hands. Fear and anxiety were my only companions in the dark cell. My heart was skyrocketing and sweat was gliding down my forehead.

Sometimes I felt like I am some kind of magnet which attracts all type of dangers towards me. Once being kidnapped and Nicolas was enough danger then why again and this time I had no idea in what type of situation I am in.
