Submission novel Chapter 41

Do you know how it feels to be scared every second of time? Too scared to even breathe; afraid that the very breath might cause something unpleasant. Something you don't want to find out.

From going outside of the house to living in. It's hard to find a way to lead the life you have had for so long. Even the slightest heave of your chest is protested by the body. So much that you have to stop breathing for a second and those seconds turn into minutes after which the fear really cripples you and strips you bare out in the cold.

It's unstoppable and trying is inane.

I wasn't tied up or handcuff like all those cliché kidnapping stories. Instead, I had all the freedom that I could exercise in that shotgun seat. I believe that if I tried to escape then I could simply unlock the door and run anywhere away from him but the fact that he would let me go, didn't sit well with me. Nothing actually happens as expected when you are faced with critical situations such as this one.

He was sitting there beside me, with the most stoic body language painted all over him. Like he didn't even care about anything in this world anymore, except for one thing.

My submission.

I turned my head towards the window and saw the reflection of a broken drop of tear, crawling its way down my cheek. A flashing sign diverted my eye towards the scenery outside of the window but it was too late for me to read the address as he was driving faster than a madman. At the speed we were going, I was sure that the cops might stop us but the flashing red and blue lights were not seen anywhere.

It's crazy. The way I simply agreed to sit in the car, without any protest, is crazy. I should have fought, I should have done something but I didn't. He actually waited for me to gain my consciousness after which he leads me towards the car. He didn't even have to use any force.

I am not giving up this way. I just feel like I have nowhere else to go. At least there is no place safe enough to stay or hide. Mine and Lizzie's home is the first place on the unsafe list. There is no other place that I have, except for that little house in Forks. As much as I hated the cold, I loved the place because Liza was always there with me.

Where is Liza? Is she safe?

Maybe that is the main reason why I agreed to come with him and wherever he pleases. He has Liza and if I go with him then I hope I'll find Liza too but the only thing that keeps on poking me is the fact that I might be too late.

The scenery outside my window turned from houses to barren unpopulated land to the thick covers of the forest. He was taking me away from civilization and into the oblivion world. Someplace where the human doesn't trespass into his territory.
