《Capo☑️》Sugar Cube

Elena's POV
I woke up and sat at the end of the bed.
I couldn't believe I actually slept.
The book was laying on the ground and I bent down to pick it up.
As I stood up I noticed a hole in the ceiling.
There was a small light shining through but it went away fast.
I turned around at started making my bed.
The blanket was soft and it immediately brought me back to my vacation to California.
I remember taking the soft blanket and bringing it to the roof with me.
I sat up there all night and just stared and the stars.
I'm smile crept across my face but slowly disappeared when I realized were I was.
When I sat on that roof a felt free, and now I just feel trapped.
I need to find a way to contact Cameron.
A loud bang sounded from the cellar door, indicating it opening.
Gun shots could be heard form the now open cellar door and I clasped my hand over my mouth so no sound could escape.
I crawled under the bed and held my breathe.
"What the fuck is this place?" A voice ask.
It was definitely a mans, he sounded young, maybe in his early twenties.
"Not sure, check the rooms though," another voice said.
Footsteps could be heard casing the cellar.
The closer they got to the bedroom the more I couldn't breathe.
By the time they got to the front of the room I was in, my breathing was ragged and I was hyperventilating.
"Bro thi-" the guy was cut of by his friend.
"Hear that?" They other guy asks.
By now I was positive you could hear my erratic breathing in China.
The bedroom door busted open.
Footsteps were at either side of the bed.
I couldn't breathe.
The bed was lifted up and both men froze.
One dropped to his knees and pulled me into him.
"Hey, shhh, it's okay, just breathe. Can you do that?" He asked.
I couldn't move.
My breathing was so bad it was making me light headed.
"I'm Dash, why's your name?" He asks trying to distract me.
I tried to talk, even move, but it was like every movement made it harder to breathe.
"Yo, Kyle, Dash, what's taking so lo-" another voice said.
What is with these random people.
"Sugar cube, please calm down, we're not going to hurt you. I promise, my names Luca" he said trying to calm me.

It wasn't working.
The room was spinning around me.
Soon darkness came and consumed me.
*****
I'm so cold.
Christ who doesn't know how to turn up the heat.
My senses came back and I could smell pine.
I could hear snow crunching.
The memories from god knows how long ago flooded back.
I opened my eyes very slowly to not draw attention.
I was being carried, bridal style, by Luca.
He was starring straight ahead.
His light pink lips were pressed into a thin line.
His chestnut brown hair slightly blowing in the winter wind.
His gray eyes laser focus on the path in front of him.
He was carrying me towards a car.
A CAR!
Before I could think through my plan, I just did it.
I jumped out of his arms and ran into the woods opposite of the car.
I kept running as the snow crunched beneath my feet.
"Wait, I'm not going to hurt you, please stop running," Luca called form behind me.
I didn't listen to him.
I ran farther into the woods.
Letting the pines swallow me alive.
Once I knew he was a good distance away, I climbed up one.
I made sure I was high enough so I could see him but he couldn't see me.
All three men ran into the woods.
"Shit, we can't just leave her here," one said, I think his name was Dash.
"I don't blame her for running off. I mean come on bro, we are three men who just took her out of Noah's place. That guy is psycho. Who knew what he did." Another one said.
This one was Kyle if I remember correctly.
I just sat in the tree silently.
Maybe they wouldn't hurt me.
I have to get out of her one way or another.
I have a gang to take care of.
Gang.
I know I'm not acting like a gang leader, but Noah has that affect on me.
He puts me back in the mindset of a weak little girl, and it takes a while for me to remember I'm not that.
When I was 10 me and him met.
We became best friends who were next door neighbors.
The older we got the more possessive he became.
He wouldn't let me have other friends or even go near a boy.
Then one night at a party he tried to rape me.

I got really drunk and he took advantage of that.
Last minute another guy came in and beat the shit out of him.
I just ran.
After that I convinced my mom to move.
We moved out of state.
I never gave her a good reason or told her about Noah.
But he followed us.
Then one night when mom left for a night shift at the hospital he broke into the house.
We got in a huge fight and he beat me.
Bad, to the point were I couldn't breathe.
He tried raping me again but mom came home just on time.
Many different times had he come to get me, hurt me, maybe even kill me.
Then 3 days ago.
He came back somehow.
He put a gun against my head and forced me to go with him.
I didn't want to draw attention to myself so I went.
I could totally take him out but something holds me back.
I don't like him but I do care for him.
I never turned him in cause I was positive he just needed help.
And every time he is close to me I freeze.
I can't think straight.
I mean I've known this kid for 8 years.
He was my best friend.
"Did any of you figure out her name?" Luca asks.
"No, we just got there in time of her hyperventilating." Dash said.
He nods and looks around again.
"Sugar cube, please, we won't hurt you," Luca called out.
I could easily take all of them out, so I decided on getting down.
I climbed down the tree and went up behind them.
I tapped on Luca's shoulder and he turned attempting to punch me.
I caught his fist and twisted, pushing it back.
I let go once realization covered his face.
"Sorry, you scared me," he said.
I just nodded.
"Do any of you have a cell phone to call?" I ask.
They all nod and pull one out.
I take Luca's phone and dialed Cameron's number.
'Hello,' his voice sounded from the other line.
'Cameron, come pick me up. Find the coordinates by tracking the phone.'I say calmly.
'Where were you boss?' He asks.
'Noah, he took me. I just froze up, don't worry I'm fine.' I say.
You could hear a deep sigh from his side of the phone.
'You are aware this is Luca Blanks phone, right,' he asked.
'Ahh, so he's that Luca,' I answer.
I could feel Luca tense beside me so I roll my eyes.
I walk away towards my tree that I now claimed.
'Doesn't matter, he doesn't know who I am. Besides he probably thinks I'm some pathetic little girl who got kidnapped.' I say.
He hums in response.
'Got it, Loki will be there in 20 to get you,' He says.
'Thanks Cam,' with that I hang up the phone.
I walk back over to the boys.
"Did you really call a friend to pick you up?" Luca asks.
"Something like that," I answer walking away.
They jog up to stand next to me.
"Who are you?" Kyle asks.
"No one you need to know about," I answer, stopping at the front of the house.
Not bad Noah, not bad.
"Come on, if you tell us who you are, we will tell you who we are." Dash says.
"I already know who you are," I say in monotone.
"Sure," Luca says rolling his eyes.
"Luca Blanks, Dash Mondo, and Kyle Byrnes," I answer.
They all stare at me momentarily before Luca pulls out a gun and points at me.
"Who are you," he growls.
"Someone who is losing there patience," I say.
With one quick movement I grab the gun from his hands.
A look of shock flashed across his face, before he went emotionless.
The other two pulled out their guns and I chuckled.
"Chill you two, I'm not gonna shoot," I throw the gun at the ground and hand Luca his cell phone back.
They slowly lower the guns, giving me a questioning look.
"Come on, at least tell us your first name?" Kyle begs.
I nod once and they went quiet.
"Elena," I say.
The all look at each other confused.
Loki's car pulls up in front of there's so I stand.
"Thanks for the help, boys," I say.
"Bye?" Kyle and Dash say at the same time.
"See you later, sugar-cube," Luca says.
I bend down and grab a rock, then chucked it at his shoulder.
"Don't call me that," I say well getting into the car and driving off.
