My eyes slowly opened to reveal pure darkness. My head felt like I had smashed it against a mirror repeatedly as I groaned at the pain. I lifted my arm up to feel it but my eyes widened when I couldn't move my arm. I tried the other but it wouldn't budge as it felt like it was burning against what felt like rope.

What the fuck?

I tried moving my legs but they were also tied down and then I began to panic. What the fuck was happening? Was I dreaming? I tried to close my eyes for a second and then open them again but I just saw the same darkness.

Panicking, I tried thrusting about in the chair I was in but nothing was working. I couldn't move my arms or legs and I couldn't see a fucking thing. I tried to speak but my throat was so dry nothing above a whisper came out.

"Help me!" I cried out in a whisper.

"Nobody's coming to help you Samantha." I heard a deep voice from the other side of the room as the sound of a chair scraping came closer to me. Then the light switched on. I squinted from the brightness and my heart began to race even more as I glanced around the room and then down at myself.

I was in the middle of a large room which was covered in wooden floor and walls. To the right of me was a huge black door with a big chain on it. I looked down at myself and saw that I was completely tied down to a chair with beige rope. I looked up at the chair that was just scraping towards me and gasped at the large man sitting across from me with a sickly smile.

He was a rather buff man, with short brown hair and eyes. "Who are you?" I croaked out, completely still as I froze. I don't think I could have moved even if I wasn't tied down. I had never experienced a situation like this in my life and I was scared out of my mind but I tried not to show it as my face hardened.

"Let me go you asshole!" I yelled, fighting how much it hurt my throat to do so.

The man smirked viciously. "You're a feisty one aren't you?" I glared up at him as he sighed deeply. "I'm sorry I had to do this."

My glare grew harder. "You're sorry for fucking kidnapping me?!"

The man chuckled. "Well no not really. You may not know who I am. My name's Peter."

When I tell you my eyes widened, they fucking widened. The man clicked his tounge. "I guess you've heard about me then."

"Yeah I've heard about you, you fucking asshole!" I spat and the man just rolled his eyes.

He dragged his chair closer so he was directly in-front of me and I could smell his disgusting breath as he spoke. "Now that's not very nice is it Samantha?"

"What do you want from me?" I spat.

Peter laughed and this laugh made me feel physically sick. It was the laugh of a fucking maniac. "To be honest, Reece and my son seem to be pretty infuriated with you." He tilted his head. "Tell me Samantha, what makes you so special?"

I pulled a face of disgust. "Does Adam know you're doing this?"

Peter chuckled bitterly. "I haven't seen Adam in over 8 years. He never visited me in prison, not once. Would you not visit your father in prison?"

My glare hardened. "Not if he was a fucking disgrace like you are."

His head snapped to mine as he lifted his hand and I felt a sharp pain across my cheek. "Don't you dare speak to me like that." His eyes hardened. "You got it?"

I nodded very slowly and clenched my teeth as my cheek felt like it was on fire. "What do you want from me?" I asked quietly.

He grinned widely. "Oh little girl, you have so many uses to me."

My eyes narrowed down at him. This man made me sick. "I assume that your little boyfriend told you how I ended up in prison?" He questioned, waiting for my response.

My head hurt so bad and I was struggling to even stay conscious. I nodded. "That piece of shit ruined my life. I lost my job, my girlfriend and my son all at the same time."

I bit my lip to stop myself from saying anything. You lost all that because you are an abusive cunt.

He leaned on his elbows as he studied me, raking his eyes all over me. "You're a very pretty girl Samantha, I understand why they both like you."

I bit back a gag.

"Anyway, I've been studying you for the last couple months and there's one thing I noticed in particular." He paused, flashing me a disgusting smile. "Reece is very protective over you and it's clear that you mean a lot to him."

He shook his head with anger. "He ruined my life so I'm going to ruin his. He took away my life so I'm going to take away the one thing that is most important to him in this world." He then looked me in the eye. "You." He paused with a half-smile. "Apart from his little sister. I mean isn't she just adorable but I couldn't really kidnap a five-year-old, I'm not that evil."

The mention of Ellie made me quiver with anger. "Don't you fucking touch her!" I threatened.

He shrugged. "I guess we'll see with how well you behave."

He then looked at his watch and sighed. "I've Gotta go. Don't try anything stupid because you won't get away with it." He threatened before standing up and switching the lights off. The sound of the door slamming shut made me jump as I just sat there in shock.

It was like it only just sank in.

Take away the one thing most important to him in this world.

Take away...

Tears began to brim at my eyes as I sat there and sobbed in silence.

I laughed loudly as I turned back around on the dance floor to see Sam had gone. That's weird I thought to myself but shrugged. I smiled at Reece when I saw him walking towards me with a look of guilt.

"Hey Belle." He smiled and I returned it. "Have you seen Sam? I need to talk to her."

I shook my head and he sighed. "She was with me a minute ago." I informed him as he furrowed his eyebrows as his jaw clenched with anger as he glanced around the room. His eyes locked onto a guy as he stormed over there, grabbing him by the collar.

The guy looked frightened as hell. "Where's that girl you were dancing with?" He angrily questioned him and he just shrugged.

"I don't know man; she just ran off outside." Reece huffed and dropped the guy who scrambled to keep his balance and stormed off.

"Reece wait!" I called out worriedly after him as I jogged to catch him up. I was pretty drunk but when it came down to my cousin, I could sober up.

We walked out the front door and I watched as he snapped his head around. "This way." Reece ordered as we fast walked down the road.

That's when I noticed something. "Reece look." I pointed to her car that was parked but there was no sign of Sam.

"She must have gone this way." He pointed his thumb in that direction as we continued to walk.

"Sam?" I called out but there was no reply. I nearly walked into Reece's back as he completely stopped in his tracks and bent down to pick something up. I leaned over his shoulder and I gulped when I saw what it was.

Her bag.

"Sam?" I called out again, now starting to get worried.

Reece's eyebrows were scrunched up as his head snapped around. "Sammy where are you?" He muttered and I could see how worried he looked for her.

I carried on walking and I froze in place when I noticed something on the ground. "Reece." I shakily said as he jogged up to me.

"Wha-" He stopped when his eyes caught what I did. I bent down to pick it up.

"Oh my god." I murmured in fear as we both stared at a rock that was covered in blood.

"SAM?" Reece hollowed so loudly that It echoed throughout the street but there was no reply. I turned to him with a face full of panic.

"Call the police." He ordered before running down the street to look for her. I shakily grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialled 911 as quickly as I could. I explained to them what I saw and they said they'd be on their way. I ran back to Cole's house at full speed and burst through the doors.

"Cole?" I called out as loud as I could and ignored the strange looks I was receiving and saw as he entered the hallway with lipstick smudged all over his face and neck, with Jodie smiling on his arm.

"What?" He chuckled but then he noticed my expression.

"Belle? What's wrong?" Jodie asked as she ran up to me, her face looking extremely worried.

"Sam's missing and we found her purse on the side of the road." I gulped. "And a rock filled with blood on it."

Their faces went from concern and confusion to pure panic.

Tears were streaming down my face at this point as the three of us roamed the streets searching for her and calling her name.

But she was nowhere to be seen.
