A Few Weeks Passed

Lana‘s POV

I wonder if there could be any possible way to stop the time and cherish the moment forever but again, this is the world of real facts, not my fantasyland. I exhaled a deep breath and kept ambling on the poolside with the ocean of memories in my brain. As I looked up in the gloomy sky with full of starry stars, and yet I tried to count each of them specifically but at the same time, wondered that dynamics of light can’t be numbered. I lifted my head all little more up in the blamy breeze and closed my eyes along with the flow of wind. It’s so calm yet so peaceful in here. I wanted to sway slowly to the beat of air but here my mind was busy in recalling my treasured memories.

I just couldn't get over this nirvana. I opened my eyes with the thought of beach in Ibiza where he spent our 5 glorious days and then the great Barcelona was in line, we stayed there for 2 weeks.

I could proudly say that time has been written in my dear diary forever. I celebrated my birthday there and I could swear that had to be the best birthday I ever had, surely it'd remain best forever. After having some unforgettable fun and making beautiful memories, we came back to Madrid. Explored beautiful places like Prado Museum, Crystal Palace, Puerta del Sol, and much more.

How could I forget about shopping? Their malls are exclusively different than ours. Whenever you pass by any shop you could hear different people speaking Spanish and sometimes so fast that it might sound gibberish for non-natives, it sounded to me. Even I took classes before coming there couldn't help me enough to understand the natives, they had different accents and styles, So, The most fun part was learning their kind of Spanish.

Other than that, if I talk about the shopping experience then, my hands firstly went to their cultural dresses which I bought as a mark of the trip at least.

My eyes roamed at my drink. I don’t think so I will get used to my area’s food so easily after tasting their cuisine. It’s all perfect, just like I planned everything.

Thoughts were knock-rounding here and there. Suddenly a feeling of depression took over, it’s my last day here but I don’t wanna leave this heaven so soon, I don’t want that life back. I was going back to my room that all in a sudden, I heard a scream of a girl,

“HELP! HELP ME SOMEBODY PLEASE, THEY'RE KIDNAPPING ME, LEAVE ME HELP… HELP SOMEONE HELP!” she shrieked which made me frightened, I ran for my life but a cloth wrapped around my mouth leaving me to struggle but my shout wasn’t audible enough to be heard. I nipped my claws in the predator’s skin but it wasn’t effective at all. My head spun and I know, I’m about to faint but I need to stay awake for myself. At last, I lost and let the darkness consume me as a whole.

There I go.

Kidnapped in the city of Spain.

———————————————————————————————

My head is spinning like my world is about to crash. I was being dragged towards a place, I couldn’t protest for myself. I can’t see anything, they covered my sight with a black cloth. I let them take me but where were they taking me? Before this, everything was all going as I planned, but what just happened in a moment? I was busy thinking about my best birthday then how come I was here and the biggest question is where am I?

I heard a sound of the door opening, what’s going on? They uncovered me and I saw almost 15-20 girls kneeling around me. Why are these girls… what? Almost every one of them’s faces were smudged with black tears of mascara, they were tied with a rope, just like me. I could sense some of them were drugged and others were looking cluelessly here and there, just like me. No idea what’s happening. Some were trying to free themselves but it seemed beyond of possibility because of the grasp.

I feel shivery. I wanna run… far away. Oh God! Please. My within is screaming

I was just here to spend time with my family but during our juncture, I didn't remember breaking bad and my family... We… we had a… flight this evening.

Did they leave me here? No, they can’t. They must be worried about me, I didn't want them to think that I ran away because I didn’t wanna go back. I didn’t want to, but this was not what I wanted either.

Please Lord take me out of it, this is not how I expected my trip would end. I’ m…

A hand clutched my waist where a scream left my mouth. I tried to push it away but It only tightened more to the extent that it hurt. “LEAVE ME” I felt a pinch of a needle in my skin. I struggled but nothing happened till my eyes left my side.

“Sleep tight bitch” that’s what I heard

—————————————————

I slowly opened my eyes. I was still there…

I was giddy, my head was spinning woefully. I turned my heavy skull to spot changes but everything is still the way it was. The slight change I detected was a girl beside me already hoping me to be her savior. She looked familiar but I couldn't remember why.

I tried to gain my senses back and after stressing my mind hard, I figured out she was the girl who I saw abducted. I looked at her with worried expressions, she mustn’t be accepting this very fact of us; Kidnapped and God knew for what reasons.

“Where… where a..are we? Why are we here? Wh-who are you?” She asked me while stammering,

“I-I don’t know, I saw them kidnapping you, and then, they took me too,” I spoke to her falteringly.

Tear rolling down of my eyes and hers, this shouldn’t be happening, what would they do? Rape us till we die? Sell us to somebody or, in the worst case, torture us on live calls for those sick bastards who pay them stacks of cash.

These thoughts were making it difficult for me to even breath, I could’ve never imagined this happening all to me or anyone else. This is not human.
