Captured

Abriana thought it was just a first date, a casual dinner and a movie. She thought she knew him, the charming man from online, Easton Pierce. But the night takes a dark turn, thrusting her into a terrifying reality where love becomes obsession and a date becomes a kidnapping. Bound, blindfolded, and trapped, Abriana must find a way to escape her captor's twisted affections before she disappears forever. Will she survive the nightmare, or will Easton's 'love' become her permanent prison?
Blood dripped down my forehead and blurred my vision. I swallowed hard as I wiped it out of my eyes and on to my tattered sweatshirt. Trying to control my breathing, I focused on the dark alley ahead of me. I knew he was out there, but I didn't know where.
A door slamming caused my heart to take off like a cheetah chasing a gazelle. I crouched down and frantically looked for a makeshift weapon. Finally, my hands came across a broken metal pipe. I picked it up and clutched it to my chest.
With my fingers trembling, I took a step into the deserted alleyway. Trying to stay close to the wall, I sprinted as quietly as possible.
