Kathleen POV

I woke up as I felt something slip under my arm.

"Bert? Where are you going?" I hold her by her
wrist.

"Im just going to fix something to eat, we missed
the lunch so"

As I heard words 'eat' and 'lunch' my stomach
growled. I hid my face in pillow.

"I see, so wanna go on lunch out?" She giggled. I
just nodded and sat up, the sheet slowly fall down my body.

"You like what you see?" I smirked on her as she
was looking on my chest down my stomach.

"Uh, umm" she was all red, I stood up to get my
panties and steal Bert's shirt.

"Im going to take shower, don't drool too much" I winked on her and went out of the room.

Tara POV

She looks so calm when she is sleeping. I looked on Amber under me, she was sleeping, breathing calmly with slightly parted lips.

I didn't want to wake her up, so I quietly slipped
out off her hands and tip toed out of our room.

I headed to my room that I don't use anymore to
grab some fresh clothes and sunglasses, so people wouldn't recognize me.

I was wearing black hoodie, black pants, white
sneakers, black sunglasses, black cap and white face mask.

I hide my hair in messy bun under my cap and
went out. All I have to get was some toiletries. The shop was just block away.

I payed in shop and went back. A man suddenly
came out of nowhere infront of me.

I looked up to him and fear overtaken my whole
body.

"Hey there, sweet Tara Carpenter, long time no see"

He gave me his big smile looking right in my eyes as he would see through the black sunglasses.

"Have you lost your voice Tara?"

He tilted his head on one side. I started to step
back from him.

"You are so rude Tara."

He take a long step towards me so I turned around and started go ran back to shop.

I was almost there when he pulled me back by
my arm and dragged me in dark street. I tried to
scream but he covered my mouth.

"Shhh Tara Carpenter, not again."

I was trying to escape so I kicked him in his leg. He hissed in pain, but didn't loosen the grip.

"Im so sorry Tara, but I will have to do it in the end"

what is he talking about? Then I felt sharp pain in my nape and darkness surrounded me.

Amber POV

I woke up and felt empty space next to me. I get up and went to kitchen.

I heard someone in shower so I guessed that is
Tara.

I went back and waited for her, while I was
scrolling on my phone.

"Hey Amber" I looked up from my phone to see
Berticuss.

"Hey there, wassup?"

"Oh I'm waiting for Kathleen go out from shower and I'm-"

"Kathleen is in shower?!"

"Y-yeah? "

"Tara is gone and she left her phone home"

I called her manager to ask her if she is with her, she said that she went to shop 20 minutes ago, but wanted to go alone.

"Fuck" I cursed as soon as I hang up.

"Hey relax a little bit okay? She is big girl okay?"

"Britny, it only take 5 minutes to get in shop"

She sighed.

"Alright, let's go look for her."

I ran to the door, but she stopped me.

"Are you going out like this?"

I looked at myself, I was wearing shorts and old
shirt. I groaned and ran to my room to change,
annoying buttercup, than we want with our
managers to look for her.

She wasn't in the shop neither was she anywhere near. I started to panicking, my heart was beating like crazy and I could feel that I will faint soon.

"Shh, hey Amber look at me, it will be okay, she will be okay, we will find her"

I couldn't force myself to say anything or move.

"Amber? Breath please, slowly and look me in the eyes."

I looked on Bert, she was smiling lightly, her eyes was full of softness, I took deep breath and release it. I was calming down slowly.

"Yes just like that."

I hugged her around her neck tightly and started
to cry, she was hugging me back, whispering that everything will be alright. I was so thankful for her, how can I be so lucky to have friends like her.

"T-thank you B-Bert, thank you so much."

I pulled from her slightly and kissed her on cheek.

One of the managers came to us.

"We called the police, they will start investigating right away."

"Thank you"

"And also, we thing that it will be for the best if all of you stay in your dorm for a while."

We nodded and went back.

Where are you Tara?

Tara POV

I woke up in dark, I started to panic. Shit, where
am I? My hands were tied behind my back to the
chair.

"Is anybody here! Help!"

The door opened.

"Ah you are awake Tara?"

The familiar voice said, I started to cry, why is this happening to me?

"Shh, no don't cry my love" He brushed my cheek with his hand.

"Im not gonna hurt you, not much"

"W-why ? Why are you doing this to me?!"

He slapped me and I cried in pain.

"You don't remember me?"

He took off the blindfold. I looked up to him,
everything was blurry for a few seconds, but even after that, I couldn't recognize him.

"No, I don't"

"What a shame, should I tell you?"

"Yeah, I would love to know my handsome kidnapper."

"Handsome?"

I nodded.

"Yeah, I thing you look really good."

I said and gave him the biggest gummy smile I
could.

"Is that so" he started to smile.

"Yup on 100%"

His smile grown even wider. I was not proud about what was I about to do, but I have to get out of here.

"Tell me, how long am I here sweete?"

He lifted my chin.

"About month"

"W-what?! How?"

"Im sorry my love, but I had to drug you the whole time, so you don't remember anything"

His face was just few inches from mine.

"So you wouldn't know, where are you or what
happened"

His lips suddenly were on mine. I felt like I would vomit, but I forced myself and kissed him back.

Amber where am I?
