Chapter 10 - Back again

"Leave me you FREAK" I tried screaming, but it came out all muffled, sound "Lehm mhm uuuhmmn eeeekkkhh" and there he went laughing.

"Ok sweetheart, I am going to remove my hand-" as he removed his hand I yelled as loud as I could.

"AHHHHHHH SOMEBODY HELP!" my throat felt irritated and I coughed. Being short of breath, he noticed and left me, taking a few steps back.

"Are you done now? There is NO ONE in the palace. It's past eight and everyone left. In fact you dad came too" my eyes widened, "Too bad I told him you went to your friends house for a sleepover."

No, this can't be! How could papa trust an unknown stranger?

"You made me do this Flynn." I told.

"Made you do what?" He implied with a bored look.

I came closer and closer to him till we had an inches gap between us. Without delay I lifted my leg in front of me and kneed him in his abdomen, stamped his feet with my feet, which I'm so glad I wore heels. He gave out a groan and feel to the ground. I kicked him once in the stomach and left off running again back towards the palace.

After a few minutes of an exhausting jog, the palace which was now dark and dull was visible.

"Hey you lady! The party's over so what are you doing here?" the guard exclaimed.

"I .. I was ... lost. Actually I forgot the ... the way I entered. Me being forgetful." I was dyspneic. Oh no way I was not going to tell I was going to be kidnapped.

"Yea ok now go out." He commanded.

Seriously? He's just going to let me go? At Least assign a driver to drop me or something. He pressed a button that was inside the mini cabin beside the entrance and the gates opened. I walked out, feeling quite embarrassed. I took out my phone and called an uber. I installed and kept the app incase there was an emergency and there it was handy. I finalised and it said that it would a few minutes as there was one available nearby. The leaves on the tree swaying, the wind caressed my skin, leaving me to have goosebumps.

What happened to Elodie and Alora? They just disappeared into thin air. Moreover what would have happened if I was kidnapped by Flynn?

"Beeeeeeeep!" that car yelped. I jumped, feeling my heart beat faster and faster. I turned and saw a car. Uber. Finally I marched towards it, opened the door and pulled up my dress slightly and sat on the seat. It was grey in colour and a lot bouncy. If it was dad's car I would have totally started bumping up and down.

"Where would you like to go miss?"The driver questioned.

I told him my address and he accelerated. The driver was young surprisingly, perhaps around the mid 20s. He had a tanned skin, light brown hair and from the left wing mirror I'm guessing he has brown eyes.

"What's your name sir? i inquired.

"Cason, but why are you calling me sir mam?" he responded.

"Well, your older than me so... and please don't be so formal." I said feeling quite drowsy.

"Right. Are you okay?, cuz you look like you have just come out from a coffin." he said give a small endearing laugh.

I looked at the rear view mirror, he then took a glimpse of me, then continued to focus on the empty highway.

"Well,basically I was lost in the woods while trying to find my way out. My brain didn't seem to cooperate with me, you know the crowd and party...not my type. I'm just an introvert."

He nodded and everything was silent after that.

After a while which seemed like hours I reached in front of my apartment. I quickly opened the door and closed it shut.

I went towards the window of the driver's seat and Cason immediately opened the window. I zipped my purse open and searched for some money. Thankfully I had some, enough for him to return me a change.

"Oh no need of that." he declared.

"But-"I was cut off.

"No buts, your just teen, and your the first passenger who was so concerning to ask my name. People seem to just get in and leave, throwing the money to me and it goes on everyday. Thank you....?" He asked for my name?

"Addilyn."

"Cute name for a cute girl." he smiled.

Was I blushing?! Hope not.

"Can I have your number?" He asked.

But we just met dude. You gotta chill. He was caring though. He didn't even allow me to pay him. Should I give him or not?

"If you don't wanna....it's totally fine." He said.

"Can I have a pen and a paper?" I replied.

He swiftly turned to the other side, searching for a paper. When he found one, he took out a black pen and gave them to me. I wrote my number and tossed it back to him.

"Thank you, good night." he wished me.

All I could do was smile and wish him back.

I entered the apartment, then the elevator and pushed on 2nd floor. As I reached I dragged myself to my room and ringed the bell. After just 1 second the door burst open and there was my mom.

"Addilyn!" my mom cried.

"Ma, I'm ok, i'm ok." I whispered and assured her, trying not to disturb my neighbours. She was hugging me so tightly that I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. I felt safe.
