Chapter Ten
So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
-Move Along (The All American Rejects)
•Daniella Clark•
Daniella stood up and walked into the bathroom. Her knee stung a bit reminding her of the scrape on her knee. She glanced at her reflection and gasped. She lifted up a piece of hair and started shaking her head."No, no, no, this can't be." Moving her head closer to the mirror she examined the top of her head. Her roots are showing.
She needed hair dye. It would only get worse. She hasn't died her hair in quite some time. Her plan the next morning before he took her was to dye it again. Her red hair would be obvious and soon they would all know.
"Maybe I'm overthinking things." She said to herself. Turning on the faucet, she rinsed her face with water. She let out a sigh of relief from the cool feeling.
Jacob.
The familiar figure of the tall, handsome boy flashed in her mind. She almost forgot what she had to do. He was her last resort, she would be dead by next week if she didn't call. Daniella could tell they were starting to find her trail. She could sense it. She never understood how she could sense them, but she could. Her senses were never wrong that's for sure.
Daniella thought back to the first and last time she ignored her senses. It was her mistake. She was traveling through a forest when something attacked her. She never saw a face or anything, but it left two small holes on her neck. Those holes didn't completely disappear till a year later. She wouldn't let herself get killed. She left the bathroom and peaked outside the bedroom door. When she saw the maid standing a couple of feet away a plan immediately formed in her mind.
"Excuse me." Daniella called and the maid immediately focused her full attention on her."Do you think you could get me something to eat and some clean clothes?" She requested and the maid smiled.
"Yes, of course your majesty." She thanked her, watching her disappear down the stairs.
Where would a phone be? She asked herself, while biting her lip. She probably only had fifteen minutes at most. She headed toward Erik's room as she suddenly remembered he had a phone in his hand the first day he came here.
She let out a sigh of relief when she opened the door and saw he wasn't in there. She glance around the room trying to spot it and smirked when her eyes landed on a black Iphone sitting on the desk beside the bed. Picking it up she was grateful that it was unlocked. She quickly clicked the numbers and listening to the ringing.
"Hello?" A female voice said and Daniella couldn't speak. "Hello?" The lady asked again.
"Is Jacob there?" Her own voice was unfamiliar to herself. It sounded so hopeful, so warm and friendly. No one would believe for one second this girl has been hiding for so long.
"May I ask who's calling?" That's the one question she didn't want to be asked. Jacob would know who it was as soon as he heard her voice. He had to know. She was his best friend and he was her life. The love they shared was unconditional.
"An old friend." She said glancing at the door to make sure no one was coming.
"One second." The secretary said. She heard the sound of shuffling around and people talking before she heard his voice. His voice was still as deep and husky as ever.
"Hello?" Daniella froze. She didn't know what on earth she was going to say to him. He would be the only person on earth besides them to know Daniella Clark was alive."Hello?" His deep voice said again, but this time sounding annoyed.
"Stacey, I thought you said someone was on this line for me?" He yelled letting out a sigh.
"There is." The girl responded sounding confused.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Speak now or forever hold your peace." He said making her crack a smile.
Daniella took a deep break before speaking, "Hey."
"Who is this?" He asked before dismissing his secretary out of what she guessed was his office.
"It's me." That's all she had to say before she heard his breath catch in his throat.
"I need a name." He insisted, Jacob couldn't believe it was her just by a simple phone call. Her voice was still angelic and soft as ever, but he had to be sure.
"Daniella." She whispered, double checking for any noises. The maid would be returning in a few minutes.
"Who the hell do you think you are playing some sick prank like this? I will call the police." He hissed, sounding furious. He couldn't and wouldn't believe it.
"J-Jacob please." She suddenly stuttered. What was she thinking? Of course he wouldn't believe it was her. She's been dead to the publics eyes for years now."I don't have much time, but I promise you it's me."
"Prove it." He demanded, causing be her to bite her lip.
"Ask me anything."
"Who was I to her?"He questioned and she smiled. That was an easy one, she thought.
"You're my best friend and my life. The hardest part of these past few years was living without you." She said holding back her tears. It was true. Yes, knowing she had no family was hard too, but he was like her family, and not in a brother type of way. More like a fiancé type of way. They've known each other since the diaper days and it was only obvious to everyone they would grow up to love each other.
"Where was our last kiss?"
"Under the old abounded bride in Burton. We were visiting there for some party Mikaela dragged us to. You and I, snuck off and ended up there." She said automatically.
"What did I give her for her sixteenth birthday?" Daniella looked down at his hand and let a sad smile appear on her face. The hopeful tone in his voice let her know that he was starting to believe her.
"A gorgeous promise ring." She whispered as a small tear slid down her face.
"Daniella?" He asked his voice cracking.
"It's me, Jacob."She said wiping the few tears that fell from her eyes.
"What happened? Where are you? Why are you just now calling me? Dammit I've missed your voice. I miss you. I don't care where you are i'm coming to get you right now."
"You can't. I don't know where I am. I need you to do me a favor and unfreeze my bank account. I need the money. I will be dead by next week without it." Daniella says all in a hurry, hoping he understood her.
"What? Why?" He asked sounding worried.
"Can you do it or not?"
"It will take a bit of time, but yeah I can get the job done. You're gonna come home, right?"
"When it's safe, yes." She lied. She knew it would never be safe. Actually it would be safe one day when she's six feet under.
"But-"
"I have to go." Daniella said quickly when she heard the maids footsteps coming up the stairs.
"No, you can't just tell me your alive after all of these years and then just-"
"If you call this number you'll get me killed. So don't call and do not under any circumstances tell anyone you know of me being alive." She told him coldly before hanging up. And rushing out the room. As soon as she entered the hall the maid walked up the stairs.
"Your majesty, I don't think you should be out of your room." She said looking worried.
"I came to look for you, but I got lost and couldn't find my room." She lied and the maid nodded, obviously believing the lie.
"You were close. It's the next one." She said smiling and Daniella thanked her entering the room.
"Here's your food and here's a change of clothes." The maid said setting the tray of food on the bed and he clothes next to it."If there is anything else you would like please just tell me."
Daniella frowned, feeling bad for lying to to the poor girl when she was being so nice. She watched as she left the room and then stared down at her food.
She couldn't believe she just spoke to Jacob. He was suppose to be her future before she got kidnapped. She wondered if he was married now. Lifting up the clothes, she frowned at what it was.
"Another dress." She said aloud, scowling and tossing it. She headed towards the walk in closet and started looking through Alexander's stuff.
"I swear all this man owns is dress shirts." She muttered talking a button up shirt of the hanger and changing into just that.
As much as Daniella hated to admit it she loved the smell the shirt had. Why must such an evil man get such handsome features.
"Izzy?" A familiar voice yelled sounding angry. She peaked her head out of the closet to see him standing there.
"Yes?" She snapped, raising an eyebrow and walking out of the closet.
"Don't ever just go disappear -" He paused as his eyes took in her appearance. His eyes noticeably darkened, and in a blink of an eye he was standing in front of her.
She watched as his eyes moved down her figured again, but this time slowly almost like he didn't want to miss a single detail. She hated as she felt her body warm up just from the look of lust he gave her.
"Can you not." She snapped glaring at him, she stood on her tiptoes and tried to push his chin up, so he wasn't looking down at her, but he only grabbed ahold of her wrist and didn't let go.
"This is all you are allowed to wear when it's just you and I. Understand?" Alexander said causing her to scoff.
"I think you seem to forget you are not in charge of me. And I didn't come her by choice. You kidnapped me!" She yelled snatching her hand out of his hold.
"How many times are you going to accuse me of such nonsense?" He hissed, ha jaw clenching. She didn't respond and only jumped on the bed, thankful that the food didn't spill and started to eat. She was laying down on her stomach with her legs in the air and frowned when Alexander pushed her legs down on the bed.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"I thought you basically told me that this is my place too. Was I doing something wrong?" She asked innocently. Daniella knew she was playing a dangerous game, but she needed to find his weakness. That's how she would get out of here.
"This is your home, but unless you would like to stay dressed and not chained to this bed naked I would highly suggest you pull that shirt down and keep your legs down." He hissed, his eyes even darker then before. She held back the smirk that wanted to appear on her face and only raised an eyebrow.
"Kinky." She said before taking a bite of her toast and returning to her original position with her legs up. She may be broken inside, but that didn't make her stupid. She was definitely smart enough to know how to get out of this kidnapping situation. She just had to think. She's been running for years now and has been smart enough not to get caught, so all she had to do now was to get out of this place.
Jacob would get her credit card working again and she could access her money and fly to the the other side of the country and far away from these people.
"Dammit Izzy." He hissed and she ignored him.
BANG.
The loud bang makes her jump only to realize he punched the wall and put a hole through it. He didn't say another word and disappeared out of the room in that abnormal speed. "Bingo" She whispered smirking. And that ladies and gentleman is every man's weakness. She thought pulling down her shirt, so it covered her butt again.
