Underground

There was nothing more Callie could have done. She put up as much a fight as anyone could in her circumstances, but obviously it wasn't enough, he was far more overpowering than her. Despite objections, it didn't take much for him to have her where he wanted; it was almost one swift movement and he had her thrown over his shoulder, carrying her to the car kicking and screaming like a child being carried away from their favourite swing at the park, but no one was around to watch the scene unfold.

"Let Go Of Me Za..." Callie was unable to finish before she was dropped from his shoulder and held in front of him with a hand cupped over her mouth and the other holding both her arms behind her back.

"Shut Up!" he hissed into her ear in barely a whisper before he placed her in the front passenger side of the vehicle.

"I love you" Zacky said bluntly as he pulled out a set of handcuffs from his jacket pocket, locking one end to the door and the other around Callies wrist.

"I really do" he continued, closing the passenger door. He casually walked round the front of the car to the driver side, not once taking his eyes off the petrified female he held within his vehicle, whom he could see was struggling against the handcuffs. He cracked a smile at her meaningless attempt.

"Now, where shall we go?" He calmly asked, starting the engine then bracing his hands around the steering wheel. Callie didn't answer; terror was starting to take over as a thin stream gradually formed down her cheeks.

"You need to talk to me if this relationship is going to work, Cal." he placed one hand upon Callie’s knee but she instantly pulled away as far as the car door would allow, the silence was clearly aggravating him, but again she didn't respond, too much was going through her mind to concentrate on a answer.

"Fine" he pressed his foot against the accelerator causing the wheels to slip on the water ridden tarmac, speeding away at a furious rate when the wheels regained their grip. Callie refused to look at him for the start of the journey; instead her gaze flowed between the silver handcuff wrapped securely around her wrist to scanning through the random droplets of water on the window to see the trees and other scenery brush by in a blur.

“It’s going to be OK, Cal.” he said patting her leg like an owner pats their dogs head in an approving fashion.

“I love you, and I’m not going to hurt the one I love” he continued, trying to sound as assuring as possible. Callie couldn’t help but give a disbelieving laugh at his words; she looked at him for the first time since the journey started, his eyes were fully absorbed on the deserted road ahead, she sucked in a deep breath as though she was breathing in the courage she needed.

“You love me? So your definition of love is forcing me from my home in the middle of the night, handcuffing me to a car and then driving me away to I don’t know where when I didn’t want to leave! That’s not called love, that’s called abduction!” Callie spat, but quickly regretted saying a word and immediately went back to staring out the window into oblivion. Zacky pulled the car to the side of the road at the first opportunity and grabbed Callie by her free wrist, pulling her as far as the handcuff would allow, lifting her half way from her seat. She clamped her eyes shut, petrified of what he was going to do.
