LATER THAT NIGHT

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a big white fluffy towel around me. I had been waiting for this shower ever since I broke down, this is the one thing that can always calm me down, it can always make me feel better. I don't know what it is, maybe it's the warmth or maybe it's just those few blissful moments of relaxation.

I wiped the mirror free of all condensation and looked at myself, just looked, not critiqued. I saw myself in a new light. Maybe I wasn't so gross, maybe my life wasn't that bad.

I dropped my towel and quickly put my underwear back on.

That night I opened the mini fridge in my hotel room and stared into the cold, little compartment. I reached my frail hand in and pulled out a bottled water and a small box of raisins. I know, raisins! That's such a weird thing to have in a mini fridge! Do that many people realy eat raisins? I got up from my previous crouching position and sat down the cushy bed. I slowly ripped open the bow with shaky hands and popped one into my mouth. I think I was so hesitant because this was the frist time that I had no intention of throwing up my food once i had ingested it. After eating several of them I crawled up to the head of the bed and tucked myself in. I fell asleep almost instantly, I didn't have to worry. I had no worries in the world, at least not while I had a cop standing guard outside my door and a van full of them outside in the parking lot.

THE NEXT MORNING

They had booked my the first flight there was back to my hometown or rather the airport nearest my hometown. So here I was, at the airport, waiting anxiously to board my flight and be taken far, far away from this place, hoepfully never to return.I didn't have anything with me, no baggage, no nothing, it was just me, walking down the corridor in my school uniform. I wasn't alone though, Detective Baker was with me, and for that I was grateful. I don't think that I could have done this by myself, I needed someone here to protect me, in case they came looking for me. I was walking next to him clutching onto his arm as if my life depended on it, I didn't care what I looked like right now, I didn't care if I looked like a pathetic child, all I cared about was the fact that this man made me feel safe.

"So um, are you just going to drop me off in the hanger or are you coming on the plane with me?" I asked hopefully.

"I'm actually just here to escort you, you'll be going on the plane yourself."

"Ummm, okay." I asked, my spirits dropping. I looked down to the ground, just watching the ground as I walked, I slowly tried to relax my grip on him, trying to distance myself, I didn't want to get too attached, only for him to leave me alone. When I looked back up I stopped dead in my tracks. There they were, standing in a line, right before the security. Those stupid ignorant people, they didn't even know that there were attackers standing right in front of them.

Detective Baker stopped, by default, in his tracks too. Instantly, my grip tightened and tears pricked my eyes. Why are they here, how did they know when I was leaving? How did they know I was leaving?

Detective Baker turned towards me, blocking my view. "What's, what's wrong, Holly?" He asked me, I could see curiousity swimming in his eyes.

"They're here." I dropped my voice to a low whisper, barely audible unless you were trying to listen. He cocked his head to the side, looking over his shoulder, I didn't know if he knew what they looked like, but he seemed to sense something. I looked to the ground, tears slipping down face. I took a few short steps towards him and wrapped my arms securely around him, I thought that I was safe in his arms, nothing could touch me. I felt his hand go up to my hair and start rubbing my head soothingly, trying to calm me down.

Though in the next few seconds, everything changed. Detective Baker's hand grabbed a hold of my hair and he spun the around. He roughly pulled my head back, so it was resting on his shoulder, and dipped his head so his mouth was right next to my ear. I could feel his hot breath against my ear, I could also feel the hair slowly being ripped out of my scalp.

"How could you even think that you would get away from us? We are every- fucking- where! We have eyes everywhere!" He whispered lowly in my ear, though it rang loud and clear to me. "Did you honestly think that you would get away, that we wouldn't find you? That you would be able to leave the fucking country without us knowing? You really are the dumbess cunt we've taken. Now, you're not going to scream and you're going to come quietly. Is that under- fucking- stood?" Yeah, like that was going to happen. I made my decision in a split second, I was not going to take this, I was not going to go back there.

"HELP ME! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME, HE'S TRYING TO KIDNAP ME!" In an instant security was swarming us from all angles. I could see over hte top of the heads that the other men had disappeared, scattered at the emergency. after knowing that it was just me against him, I moved my elbow up and elbowed him in the neck. I could hear him gasping for breath,as he released me from his hold. I quickly ran away from him, towards the security that had successfully tasered and subdued "Detective" Baker.

The head security member grabbed me and immediately rushed me behind the safe line, into the secruity section, where no one without a ticket could get into.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He questioned me immediately after we reached "safety."

"No, I'm fine, he didn't do anything other than grab my hair."

"Was anyone else with him, or was it just he that was doing the damage?"

"I just got away from them, I was kidnapped about 2 weeks ago and I just escaped. I was being sent back home to Canada today, my name is Holly Sinir."

"Alright, then let's get you on the plane, I know for a fact that there is an air marshall on that flight today and you are sitting beside him. Miss, there is no need to worry anymore, you are in safe hands." I had about 6 escorts escorting me to my plan and I got boarded an hour before anyone else, ensuring that I would not be taken again. I rested my head against the winodw and brought my knees up to my chest, the adrenaline was starting to take its' effects on me and I felt myself getting more and more tired by the minute. I fell into a dreamless sleep, and when I awoke, I was back home.
