Chapter 20

Chapter 20

"Hello?"

"Kelly. He took her." Kyle informs her.

Agent Smith grasps the phone tightly in her hands. "What?"

"Xavier took Anastasia. I'm trying to follow his tracks but no one has seen him or her." He paces back and forth on the side of the road. "I need back up. We have to find her."

"I'll send two teams to you right away.And Kyle?" He carefully listens to her. "Don't do anything stupid. Wait until we get there."

------------------------

Anastasia wakes up with blurry eyes. Her breaths are shallow. The air around seems thick, making it hard for her to breathe. She looks around the room and notices how familiar it seems to her.

Didn't the house get burned down?

In the shadows of the corner of the room, Xavier steps out. His eyes are cold, his body movements are calm and precise.

"Remember this room?"

She just stares back at him not wanting to stand on the bed, not wanting to answer him.

"It's our room, Priscilla." Her head speeds up when he kneels beside the bed. He gently removes the few strands of hair from her face. A nice caress any woman would fall for. A caress that doesn't fool her. His obsession clouds his mind to believe that he has an undying love for her. "I had this house built just incase something happened to ours. Do you like it?"

She knows better then to speak.

"Answer me."

"What are you going to do?" Her question takes him off guard. She was never one to ask questions. She always avoided upsetting him.

"I guess the time away from me has changed you." He stands up aggravated.

Anastasia tries to sit up on the bed but she shortly notices that's she's tied up to the bed. her legs are free but her arms are chained tight keeping her in place.

"Priscilla. I don't get it. I've given you everything I have. I showed you love. I gave you a stable home with our daughter, even when I didn't want one. I did it to make you happy. I did it so you can love me and only me. We've had a family." He runs his fingers through his hair, frustrated in her. "This is how you repay me? Leaving me. Lying to me."

She doesn't respond.  Her instincts tell her to let him continue.

"Did you sleep with him Priscilla?"

"No." Her voice is barely a sound, but she knows he heard.

"If I find out you have..." His eyes became crazed, but just like that it disappeared. "I have to go."

He left the room.

She heard lock after lock click into place, trapping her in the room that's identical to the hell she used to be in.

She knows pulling on her cuffs would only bruise her skin.

Anastasia closes her eyes and thinks about the small time of freedom she had.

"Don't look for me Kyle." She whispers to the dark room.

She can feel her blood dried in her mouth. Her head feels like tons. her body is limp against the chair. She has no strength to fight. Too much of her blood covers the floors.

"You're finally awake."

She blinks to clear her vision. "Go to hell."

"I guess we are here." Xavier grins. "It delighting to see how similar you are to her from the outside, but from the inside you're nothing like my wife."

Hannah hangs her head, not wanting to see him.  She's going to make sure he pays for everything he's done to her. He won't even see it coming.

"Hannah, how about I clean you up. Would that make you less.... aggravated?" Xavier walks in circles around her. Observing quietly. "I have big plans for you. But first, I think it's time for you to meet Priscilla. I bet she's dying to meet you."
