Charming

Amara

"Stop touching me!" I yelled at the man forcing me into a room.

"Well you have to move your fat ass somehow" He groaned.

I was so mad at him right now I wanted to stab his eye.

He grabbed me by my forearm and threw me to the ground before leaving and locking the door.

Great.

They must be crazy if they think I'm just going to sit here and wait for my prince to come save me. Not this time.

Even though I wouldn't mind having Ryder here.

I tried to come up with a plan. I could probably try to unlock the door using bobby pins that I  already had in my hair.

But then what?

I didn't know the place. I didn't know if there were a lot of people here. I didn't know anything. I only knew I was in a room, in a basement. For all I knew, there could be a guy on the other side of the door waiting for me to try to escape.

Maybe I could risk it.

I tried to come up with the solution and I came up with two options. I either try to unlock the door and risk it, or I stay in here until I get a better chance to try to escape.

The second one sounded like the smarter option, so I decided to go with that. Still, the fact that I couldn't do anything to help the situation was killing me. All I could do was sit on my bed and hope something will happen.

And think of Ryder.

He was probably mad worried right now and I was already starting to miss him. All I wanted was everything to be normal again and him to stay.

I waited and waited for someone to come into the room. I didn't have any way to see what time it was, but it felt like hours. The good thing was, it gave me time to think of what I would do, so when someone knocked on the door, I was ready to play my part.

"Get up" I heard the rough voice, but I didn't move, "I said get up!" He yelled.

I slowly got up and after taking two steps towards him, I pretended to pass out.

"What the hell? Brandon!" He called out.

I heard quick footsteps and then a high pitched voice, "Yes?" The man asked, "Oh My! What happened to her!?" He gasped.

"I wouldn't call you If I knew" The other man groaned.

"Sir is not going to be happy with this" He mumbled, "Put her on the bed and go tell Sir. I'll see if I can do anything to make her wake up"

The man put his arms around me and picked me up.

Ew. I'm going to have to bathe with sanitizer after this.

When I was sure that the other man was gone and I was alone with the second man in the room, I slowly opened my eyes.

"Oh! You're awake!" He exclaimed.

"Can you tell me where exactly am I?" I asked.

I was hoping for an address or something like that. Any clue.

"Um-"

"This is not my house" I said looking around in panic.

"Relax"

"I'm not going to relax until I find out what's the location. How far am I from my house? I asked.

After telling me to relax once more, he told me the location which I was grateful for. I made sure to keep it in my memory.

"Thank you. At least you seem kind" I said giving him a smile.

The boy smiled. He looked about my age. He had really dark hair and eyes.

"Thank you. I hope you feel better now, do you know what could have caused the fall?" He asked.

"I really don't. It has never happened to me before" I said frowning, "But I have a really bad headache, could you bring me a painkiller?" I asked.

At least this part was true.

"Of course! I'll be right back!" He said and left the room closing the door behind him.

What he didn't do was lock it.

The plan was to walk out and try to find a phone or something, but that was too risky. If he came back and didn't find me, I would lose his trust and his trust could be useful in the future.

So I decided to stay in my place until he came back after about one or two minutes. I thanked myself for deciding to not go to search for a phone. There is no way I would be back that soon.

"Here" He said handing me a glass of water and a tablet of pills.

"Thank you" I said before taking one out of the tablet.

"I hope you feel better soon" He said with a smile.

"What's your name?" I asked giving him the best smile I could muster. I wanted to seem "charming". Maybe I would "charm" him into helping me.

"I'm Brandon" He said giving me his hand to shake.

"I'm Amara, nice to meet you" I said shaking his hand, "So what exactly am I doing here?" I asked.

"I-I'm sorry, I can't tell you that" He said.

"Oh, okay I understand! I just really need to know where the bathroom is" I said letting out a giggle.

"Of course" He stood up and gestured for me to follow him.

I miss Ryder too much.

I almost felt bad as I was trying to "charm" Brandon. I wish I could just close my eyes and be back home.

As he led me to the bathroom, I made sure to take in as much of the house as I could and maybe search for a telephone or any source of communication.

Or maybe I can somehow get his phone and text Ryder..

________

Ryder

"What do you mean you can't find her!?" I yelled.

"We're going to have to hire someone, Ryder" Gordon said.

"I can't waste my time on this" I said sighing and pulling at my hair.

"You can't do anything else Ryder"

"I know! And it's killing me"

"Jason why's on your mind?" Gordon asked him.

"I'm trying to think of any of my dad's employees that I can trust. Maybe someone knows something"

"Well what are you waiting for!?" I yelled.

"Man you need to chill" Gordon said.

And he was right, but I had to do something to help the situation even a bit.

I missed her like crazy. Not to mention how worried I was about her well being. I couldn't even go a second without worrying about her health.

"I'm going out. I have some phonecalls to make" I said and headed out.

They didn't say a word. They knew that I didn't want to hear anything at that moment.

As I opened the door to leave the house I stumbled upon something, or someone.

"Not so soon" I heard a familiar voice.

"Are the twins here or am I hallucinating?" Gordon asked.

"Unfortunately, I think they are here" I sighed holding back a smirk.

"Wow, we are so grateful to hear that you guys missed us" Aidan mumbled. "We were actually just passing by and decided to check on you I hear you are searching for dear Amy" He continued, "-but I guess you don't need us"

"Not so soon" Gordon said halting Aidan who was about to walk out. Alexander remained silent as always.

"Maybe you could help" Gordon said.

"Not unless Ryder wants us to" Aidan smirked saying and both the twins looked at me.

"Okay, fine! Please help us find Amara and Mary"

"Now that's what I like to hear Aidan smirked even more and cracked his knuckles.

This should be fun.
