CHAPTER 89
SKYLAR POV
As I slowly regained consciousness I could feel my head pounding with the worst headache I have had in such a long time.
My vision was a little blurry to begin with, but it started coming into focus.
I saw that I was in a room. A strange room. It wasn’t my bedroom or a hospital.
It was in a house somewhere, but I didn’t know where.
It looked like a nice bedroom but there was barely any furniture in it. So I sat up and the window was open so I could hear the rain outside and feel the cool breeze coming through the window.
I tried to stand up but my legs were still feeling a little heavy, but as I held on to the bed I realized I could walk across to where the door was.
I only took a few steps from the bed when I suddenly fell to the ground by something loud thumping on the ground.
I turned around and saw a large chain hooked around my ankle with a padlock on it.
The chain was fixed to the brick wall that was behind the bed and no matter how hard I tried to pull on it, it wasn’t budging.
I stood up and looked around the room.
I could tell that I was on the second floor of a house, and the wall behind the bed was brick but the other walls were simple wood paneling. But I wasn’t strong enough at the moment to try and kick through the walls. I wasn’t even sure if I had enough chain to do it yet or not.
I sat on the side of the bed looking around. The room was completely bare and I was trying to put together the last thing that I remembered.
I remembered going to the Ball, I screamed at Harry and Lucas when we got home. Jax stayed with me for a while but I told him that I wanted to be alone.
I then remembered seeing that shadowy figure standing in front of my window.
He’s the one that took me. He did this. He got me out of that house and away from the guys without them even knowing.
I was so angry last night. They’re going to think that I left on my own. They’re going to think that I don’t want them anymore.
I was just angry because of those other tramps that showed up.
I was never going to leave them. When I told them that I loved them, I meant it with every inch of my soul. There’s no way I would leave them.
What could they possibly be thinking right now?
No. I couldn’t think about that right now. I need to worry about how I’m going to get myself out of here.
I’m on the top floor of a house and the window is open. I can scream for help. I can let someone know that I’m here.
I don’t know who took me. I don’t know why they took me. But I refused to stay here.
I climbed over the top of the bed so I didn’t cut off any of the chains to make it tighter by going around the bed and when I got to the window I was prepared to start screaming for him.
But as soon as I looked outside, I froze as I stared out at the forest.
There were no neighbors. It was only forest. Everywhere. That’s all I could see.
I heard something out the front of the room that I was in. People walking around. But I didn’t know who they were.
I knew that I couldn’t rely on anyone else to save me, so I was gonna have to do it myself.
I reached behind me to a hidden pocket that I had in my baggy shirt, but it was empty.
My dagger was gone. The dagger that Harry had made for me. It was gone. I always had it with me.
The bastard must have taken it when I was unconscious.
I slept with it every night.
I knew that one night my father’s friends were going to come after me. Especially the one that he sold me to. They were going to come. I made sure that I always had that dagger with me.
I sat back on the bed and I closed my eyes, trying to remember what happened right before I lost consciousness.
I can only remember up to a certain point.
I might have dropped the dagger in my room somewhere. That will tell the guys that I didn’t run away.
They know that I don’t go anywhere without it. I mean, that thing saved my life when dad tried to kill me.
I hope it’s in my room. I really do.
I don’t want Jax to give up on me again.
I know that I can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I don’t mean to be. I know I can push people away but that’s only because I’ve never had a reason to trust people before.
Right now, I had to trust that the guys knew I didn’t run away. I had to hope that they knew I didn’t run away.
There were more footsteps outside of my room and this time they lingered.
I was trying to hear what they were saying but the walls were too thick. I could just hear muffled sounds.
Someone giving someone else orders. But I didn’t know what.
I then heard keys jiggling and someone started moving the doorknob.
When the door opened I saw a guy standing there. A guy that was about my age. And a guy that I had definitely seen before.

“You’re Skylar, aren’t you?” He asked.
“Yeah.” I said, a little weary.
“I’m Bentley. I’m new here today. I was talking to the teacher and he said that you would be the best person to ask. Apparently there’s a history project that we’re meant to be doing at the moment. The teacher said that you would be the best person to partner up with.” Bentley said.
“Did he?” I asked, a little confused. I didn’t think the teachers even noticed me most of the time.
“He said that you were a straight A student.” He said.
“Um, yeah. Alright. I can help you with it.” I said. I was just trying to help out the new kid. But I could tell that the guys didn’t like it at all.
“Great. Do you want to walk to class together? So we can talk about it?” He asked.
“Sure. We can do that.” I said. I said goodbye to the guys before I walked off with Bently.
*****************
“Bentley.” I said.
“Hello Skylar. It’s about time I finally got you here.” He said, smiling at me with this strange and loving smile on his face.
