Chapter 12

The music from the party faded as she pushed through the double doors and stepped into the hallway. It was dark and quiet, other than the flapping doors closing behind her. She swore she saw the mystery blonde walk this way before losing sight of her.

She crept down the hall, peering into each room. Small offices, storage closets and bathrooms–all vacant. At the end was another door.

Whoosh! The doors behind her flapped open.

She jumped into a storage closet, held her breath and listened.

From down the hall, she heard laughter, giggling, and women’s voices. Drunk, obviously.

“This isn’t the bathroom, you idiot! Come on, let’s get out of here, its creepy!”

Victoria released an exhale and stepped out of the closet.

Feeling ridiculous, she turned to go back to the event when something caught her eye.

At the end of the hall a dim light shown under a closed door. As she looked closer, shadows moved behind it.

Reluctantly, she stepped up to the door and pressed her ear against it. Nothing.

Her fingers lingered on the doorknob before she opened the door of what appeared to be a large storage room. Tables and chairs were carelessly stacked, cluttering the large space. Boxes and various decorations were scattered about. A single ceiling light flickered in the back.

She took a few steps inside and paused. The room was eerily silent.

Her heart began to beat faster when she suddenly saw movement. Her gaze snapped to a stack of chairs in the back of the room. She froze.

BAM!

Victoria screamed as the door slammed behind her, and an arm wrapped around her neck.

She opened her mouth but only a gurgling sound came out as the grip tightened. Unable to scream, she kicked, bucked, flung her arms. Her vision became cloudy, bright spots speckled her vision.

No. Fight Victoria, fight.

The room began to spin right before she passed out cold.

What seemed like seconds later, she opened her eyes. Her hands and feet were bound and she was being dragged through the storage room. A gag was tied around her head. Ice cold terror shot through her veins.

Her heels squeaked against the floor as she was being dragged by her hair.

A door opened and she was pulled outside, onto the sidewalk.

She frantically looked around. The narrow alley was pitch black, the smell of rotting trash and wet mold filled her nose.

No one was around.

She heard an engine rumbling.

Don’t get into a car, don’t get into a car!

The car door opened. One hand grabbed her hair, the other under her arm as she was hoisted up.

WHACK!

“What the fuck?!” A man’s voice.

She was clumsily released and fell to the sidewalk.

She recognized the sound of a fist against flesh. She bucked onto her side and saw two men scuffling on the sidewalk. Fist’s flying, legs kicking. Fresh blood splattered on her face. One of the men doubled over in pain. Which one was her captor?

The dark shadows concealed their faces as they wrestled. She watched the larger man push the other man over, then deliver a swift kick to the ribs, then to the face.
