realized I had not grabbed the cell phone on the table or my meds but I knew I had to run. The woods were pretty thick. I kept tripping over roots and running into branches. My body was so sore. I had no idea where I was but I just kept running. I heard Shanna calling for me off in the distance.
“You are going to die out there you little fool!” She screamed. “Alison!” I knew she was probably right but better to die to the elements of nature then to have my life at the hands of people who I thought were just common towns people. I also heard Reese and Riley screaming and yelling at Shanna. I just kept running as fast as I could. After what seemed like hours, I broke out of the woods into a field. I could see a farmhouse across the field so I headed towards it. I slowed down, as I got closer because I was not even sure where I was. Who was in this house? As far as I knew this could be all Malanta property and I could just be putting myself into the hands of a relative of someone I knew who had plans to kill me any way. I was so tired though. I cautiously walked up to the property line and looked at the house. I saw a young woman walk out. She was probably in her teens. She saw me and stopped. I walked closer.
“Are you ok ma’am?” She came running over to me. Relieved I passed out and fell to the ground. I woke up in a beautiful bed in a very bright room filled with gorgeous farmhouse antiques. The window was open about an inch. The girl who had come over to me and an older woman came in with trays full of food.
“Are you ok?” The girl asked when she realized I was awake.
“Where am I?” I asked.
“My name is Racheal Fisken and this is my Grandmother, Helen.”
“We have some nice hot food.” Helen set the tray down. “You must eat dear. We will talk as you eat.”
“I need to get to…I have no idea where we are.”
“Where are we?”
“We are in Redwood.” I actually was not far from home but definitely in Malanta Family zone.
“Are you a part of the Malanta family?” I asked cautiously.
“Oh hardly.” Helen laughed.
“Gram and I have lived here forever. I came to live with her when my parents died.” Racheal told me.
“I need to get to town. I only live thirty miles from here.” I did not dare get into it too much as I figured the less these two knew about me the safer they were in case they came looking for me. I sat up. It was a bit difficult but I did it.
“You must rest!” Helen said. “Whatever it is, it can wait.” She ordered. I was tired.
“Do you have a phone?” I asked.
“Yes. “Racheal left the room and came back with a cell phone. I was so happy. I dialed Jason’s number.
“Alison!” He cried into the phone when he realized it was me.
“Come get me Jason.” I told him where I was. After filling him in on everything, we hung up. Help was coming. I walked out of the room and started down the stairs. It was definitely an old farmhouse. Bright in some areas and dark in others. As I made my way down the stairs, I heard voices. It sounded like they had some guests and where in the kitchen. When I walked into the kitchen, I came to a complete stop. Sitting at the table looking at me was Riley. Behind him stood Shanna, Reese and two other men. I then saw Helen and Racheal sitting in two chairs bound and gagged. My heart leapt into my throat.
“Well hello, Alison.” Riley smiled. He reached into his pocket and pulled out my medication. I sat down and Reese immediately stood behind me so I could not get up. Shanna came over and slapped me in the face.
“You fool!” She yelled.
“Ok, Shanna.” Riley smirked. “The deal is going down in about an hour. Then we are off to a warm country.” He stood up. He turned to Shanna and Reese. “I am sure Jason and his buddies are on their way to save their little Princess. You two cannot mess this up again. Keep all three of them still and quiet. I will call you when the deal goes down and then…” He looked at
