My hair stood on end; a shiver raced down my spine, a lump was forming in my throat. It was him. I could hear him behind me, it was dark and he had his hood up, but I didn't need to see his face to know it was him. They told me I would be safe here. They promised. Maybe I would have been if I stayed inside. I started to run, but he was too fast, he grabbed me with his icy hands. There was no point putting up a fight now, I need to save my energy. He dragged me through the rain to his van, a sight that wasn't unfamiliar to me. It was cold in the van and the floor was covered in dirt and oil stains, but it was dry. He grabbed my wrists and taped them to the passenger seat head rest. Then he looked me in the eyes, I felt his breath on my face, and whispered, "If this goes how I want and you behave, I'll let you go. And if it doesn't, well then I think we can both guess what the outcome will be." I knew he was lying he wouldn't let me go, he said it as though he believed himself, as if he thought I would believe him. I knew he was faking it, and after all I am an expert on that aren't I? He never, not for one second thought I didn't believe him which I thought was weird. I guess he's probably used to people trusting him though, after all everyone at Hester trusted him. Even Karma. I thought she was smarter than that. Everyone, including her thought that he was a gift from god. If only they could be in my position right now.
