"That person who enters your life out of nowhere and suddenly means the world to you..."

POV-Evelyn

I wake up in a large dark room, my bones ache and I can't seem to feel anything.I groan and sit up not remembering how the hell I got here. I glance around and my eyes land a huddled form in the corner of the room. I also notice many other people sitting around, some crying some having small conversations in different groups.

I make a move to stand but stop when the door suddenly opens and the two men from before step inside carrying what seems to be two other bodies. They drop the bodies and head back out of the cell we are contained in.

I wait until their footsteps get further and further, I stand up when there is nothing but the silence of night time in the cell. I steady myself and peer into the darkness trying to spot the huddled body from before.

I take a step and it immediately lands onto something, "hey watch it!" A female voice hisses pulling her outstretched hand away after I lift my foot.

That's when I realize the cell was full of people laying around the floor or in huddles of people.

My eyes get used to the dark and I am able to see the multiple silhouettes of people sitting around each other. I get more and more confused as I head to the one person not with anyone else seeing if I can get any answers.

I crouch down near the girl, she sits in the corner her head pressed against the cement wall.

"Do you have any idea why we're here?" I ask quietly as if I didn't want anyone to hear.

Her head turns slow, her eyes narrow and she looks up and down then around the rest of the room. "You new here?" She asks me.

I nod my head and sit beside her, she shifts a bit so that she's facing me.

"I don't really know why we've been brought here but I came in with the last group a few days ago." She says sighing and resting her head against the wall and staring up.

"I'm Evelyn" I say, I look over and watch as she takes a tendril of her red hair and moves it behind her ear. She forces a smile and sticks out her hand.

"I'm Meg."

Meg and I talked for what seemed like hours about our lives before getting kidnapped. Her life seemed like a dream. Her dad was a CEO of this big company and they were rich, she had everything until her mother died of cancer that shot her into a downward spiral. Ceasing contact with the rest of her family she moved out to the city to try and forget about her mom and the life she had.

A pretty similar story to mine. I had also told her about my past the man I loved and my name getting changed. She was surprised at first that my name hadn't been Evelyn but Loren. She said I resembled a Evelyn more so than Loren.

We sit at the wall still but now have a larger group circling around Meg and I. We've been talking together trying to brainstorm why we are all gathered around like this.

"People have been going missing" one blond girl pipes up from the back, most of the new people gasp their eyes widening.

"They've been taken from the cell and their screaming would fade as their brought down the hall away from us. They haven't come back" a guy says.

People begin to cry and one girl collapses. Meg and I share a look of fear at the thought of being taken somewhere. It scared me it did, but I had no real care for my life after Logan so the thought almost excited me.

•

After a late night of no sleep the sun rose and Meg decided we should take shifts, so a group would stay awake while the rest slept therefor if anyone was to come in there'd be a group large enough to alert everyone.

I passed out for a couple hours and when I woke up it was about mid day. They told me that some men came with trays of food to distribute among everyone. Meg saved some for me, that's when I realized I was famished I hadn't eaten since the previous night when I took my last sip from my coffee.

My stomach grumbled as I took a bite of the slice of bread, they had served out soup and bread slices almost like we were prisoners.

Someone at the cell door screamed and we all quieted down as we heard footsteps coming from down the hall. The door unlocked and two men stepped in their faces void of emotion as they walked in unaware of everyone else their gazes where focused on two people huddled in the corner scared for their life.

I was about to stand and challenge them if they dared to take anyone else, but before I could someone stopped me and grabbed my wrist pulling me back down against the wall. I watched in pure horror as they grabbed both the guy and girl like sacks of potatoes.

Their screams echoing around the cell as the guy held onto the girls hand until they got pulled apart by both men.

The two men began to walk out when a young brunette by the name of Amelia screamed a threw herself at the feet of both men. She grabbed onto one of their boots screaming like a banshee. One of the men stared down at her and commanded the other to grab her also. She backed away in terror but he reached her before she could scramble farther.

They were out before any of us knew what to do next, the door locked behind them and the fading screams of both the girls and guy were heard until they could the heard.

•

The rest of the day was silent no one really said a word most were resting others looked like zombies, their faces void of colours, eyes bloodshot. And I couldn't lie I probably looked exactly like the rest of them.

The evening came fast and soon the sun was setting, we thought it would be another night of staying awake and keeping an eye out but as soon as my mind went to other things we heard the faint sounds of footsteps coming from the corridor.

Everyone's faces got white remembering the event earlier today. Everyone moved away from the door and to the opposite wall huddling in large groups believing this would make it harder for the men to grab one of us.

I sat close to Meg, she grabbed my dirt crusted hand with hers and we sat there in silence as three men entered this time.

They were all very good looking and it seemed like their eyes raked through the group looking for certain people... or someone.

They stood in formation one man standing apart from the two men we've seen twice before.

"In line." The man said power radiating from him. His dark eyes cold and unforgiving. No one dared disobey so we all stood in a line making a semi circle since there was too many of us to fit between two walls.

The two men stood by the door and the powerful man walks up and down the line taking glances at different girls each time. He walked passed me for a second time, the first time looking at Meg then wondering back down the line. This time he stares at me his eyebrows furrowing together a sort of emotion passes through his dark emerald green eyes before he speaks up.

"This one"
