Chapter 1 - Taken

It supposed to be a normal day.

Nothing special. Nothing different.

But sometimes... normal days are the most dangerous ones.

I still remember it clearly. I was walking alone through the empty streets. My heels clicked softly against the pavements, the only sound in the empty alley.

I knew something was wrong when a black car stopped beside me.

My steps slowed.

The car door opened.

Before l could react-

A hand grabbed my wrist.

I tried to scream but another hand covered my mouth instantly.

Then a voice whispered in my ear --

"Stay quiet.... if you want to live."

My heart stopped.

They pushed me inside.

Doors locked.

Car speeding.

You....you got the wrong person, I said shaking.

Silence. No one replied.

Then --

A man sitting in the dark leaned forward.

Cold eyes. Deadly calm.

"No. I got exactly the person I wanted "

My chest tightened.

" Impossible.... I don't even know you," I whispered.

He didn't react. He leaned closer, just enough for me to feel his cold aura. My stomach twisted, part fear, part.. something else I didn't recognize.

The car was silent. The rain pounded against the windows.

I turned my head slightly, trying to look out the window. But the rain made everything blurry.

But one thing that I realised in that moment was that...

I wasn't just a victim. I was the target.

And when just I thought I might understand nothing--

The lights outside the car flickered, and I saw a figure waiting in the distances

someone... Or something... that made my blood run cold.

I swallowed hard.

This night...

It wasn't going to end the way I thought.
