"Yeah…" He continued. "It's kind of annoying if they start making a scene by trying to jump out of the car so I made sure to modify my cars."
Great so I heard him perfectly. "But that Porsche car of yours didn't have that." I pointed out.
He let out a care-free laugh not realizing that he was making me find refuge in the corner of the backseat. "Oh that? I was in a rush seeing how you were in danger so I just took the first best car that I saw." He explained. "I wouldn't take that car when I'm about to murder or… kidnap… someone…" He said slowly, halting his speech when he realized what he was saying. Swiftly he looked at me through his rearview mirror and was met with my blank expression.
"You know that I wouldn't hurt you, right baby?" He asked in a cooing voice like he was trying to calm down a child who's about to throw a tantrum.
I only hummed in response with a still blank expression as I was leaning my head against the window with my eyes cast outside.
'I'm so fucked.' Was the only thing that went through my mind. He literally admitted that he uses this car for when he murders or kidnaps someone! He may had said that he wouldn't kill me, but he sure as hell didn't debunk the kidnapping part.
The sudden change of the outside scenery caught my attention as I became aware of the fact that we were on the highway and instead of the hard pavement and long buildings only trees and landscapes could be seen alerting every fiber of my body of the danger that I am in right now.
Where is he taking me? Was the whole date thing a pretense to get me willingly in his car so that he could abduct me with ease? But he said that if he did abduct me that he would drug me beforehand. Does that mean that he's going to drug me soon?
I glanced at his glove compartment. 'It would mostly be hidden inside there, right?' So if I somehow get my hands on it without him seeing it then-
"April!" His baritone roar that shook the car snapped me out from my thoughts.
"W-What?" I asked startled. Did he already figure my plan out?
"Stop biting your damn finger!" He growled out angerly. I shifted my focus back to my fingers seeing how bruised up they were from me gnashing at them.
"Oh…" I could only say absentmindedly.
"Don't fucking "oh" me!" he gritted out. "I told you that I wouldn't hurt you so what are you so distressed about!?" He said as he slammed his hand on the steering wheel earning a surprised yelp from me.
"You don't have to be so angry about it, I'm just nervous about the date that's all." I muttered under my breath.
"That's a load of bull crap and you know it." He sneered grabbing on the steering wheel hard enough for his knuckles to turn pale white.
I tried to push the big lump in my throat away. I should try to avoid making the driver angry at any cost, so by that I decided to shut my mouth; but as soon as the silence made way inside the car, once more my mind started to drift away trying to find a way out of this.
'Maybe if I make a shot gun for the passenger seat's door then I'm able to get away? But my leg would be a problem. I could also try to break the windo-'
"Try to bite your fingers one more time and you wouldn't like the outcome." An angry growl could be heard pulling me away from my thoughts again. I shifted my focus back on Jack giving him a cheesy grin. "I wouldn't bite them, I swear."
He exasperated as he ruffled his head in frustration. "Look, just relax, okay? I swear that I wouldn't do anything like hurting or abducting you. I really just want to make this date a success; I promise that you will love it." he said with assurance and plead in his voice.
'If you say it like that then…'
I crossed my arms and huffed. "Fine." I said. "But my eyes will be glued on the road so that I know where I am at." I warned.
He gave a hearty laughter that made my heart somehow tingle. "Yeah, you do that." He said.
"Watch me." I grumbled.
"Gladly." He chuckled.
...
We suddenly came to a halt but were still surrounded by a forest leaving me wondering if this place was really it. He also didn't make any weird turns from my observations, but I still shouldn't let my guard down.
With a swift movement he got out of the car and was next to me in matter of seconds unbuckling my seatbelt.
I glowered at him in disapproval. "I could do that myself." I said.
"I know that." He said as he hooked his arms under me. "But I still wanted to do it." He simply said as he whisked me away further in to the forest with no road to be seen.
'Where are we going?' I wondered.
I looked back at my disguised killer. I really can't make out any of his features no matter how hard I stare at him. No spec of hair strands to be seen, heck I can't even see his ears!
He chuckled. "I should be disguised forever if it means that I have your full attention ." He closed his face up in to mine quickly. "You can't even see my eye color, right?" And he was right, only my own reflection could be seen from his shades no matter how hard I tried.
"I really covered myself up perfectly, there's no way that you would ever figure out my identity, unless you finally decide that you want me."
I scoffed and pushed his face away from me. "Dream on."
"Are you sure? My dreams always kind of end up being PG-18."
I gasped in embarrassment. "Are we there yet?" I asked quickly trying to change the subject.
He laughed. "Almost, baby."
The scrunching noises of the discolored leaves that were being trampled by Jack's black boots could be heard together with the rustling sounds of the trees that were made by the soft gust of wind carrying some leaves with it sounded like a soft melody calming me down.
The cold touch of the soft wind against my face brought a small shiver in me making me recall that it was still an early morning. The chirping sounds of the morning birds sounded like they were singing; welcoming us in their domain.
And right there amidst the chestnut colored threes a light was simmering bright blinding me for a split second causing my eyes to shut tight in defense.
"We're here." He said.
With my eyes still narrowed into slits I carefully opened them. Wide-eyed I was astonished by the view that was exposed to me leaving my eyes to sparkle in adoration.
