Chapter 20: The Abduction
MARTHA'S POV
It is almost 6 pm but still, Ms. Selene hasn't arrived yet. I was thinking of sending her a message if I could go home first instead.
I had already fixed my things and was ready to go home when my cellphone rang, and it was Ms. Selene.
"Yes Ma'am?"
I asked.
"I am on my way now taking the shortcut road. You can't go home alone; it is not safe yet, so better wait for me,"
She said and it made me bite my lips, controlling my giggles. Damn, here I go again, having this feeling every time I deal with her. "Alright Ma'am, I will wait in the lobby,"
I said. Then she ends the call right away.
I continue fixing my bag while walking to the elevator when my cell phone rings. I checked it and it was Ms. Selene again. "Yes Ma'am?"
I asked.
"Are you already in the elevator?"
She asked which confused me a little.
"Currently waiting Ma'am, why?"
I said.
"Can you still go back to the office and get the green folder on my table please?"
She said. I was about to say something to her when suddenly someone grabbed my arms that shocked me.
"Aaahhh... get off me!!!"
I shouted and tried to push the person behind me when my cell phone dropped while still active in a call with Ms. Selene
I can't see his face but I am sure he is a man wearing a black cap that hides half of his face and then in a second, I saw his hand with cloth covering my nose, which made me pass out. SELENE'S POV
"Can you still go back to the office and get the green folder on my table please"
After I said that, I heard Martha shouting in the other line that she seemed in trouble.
"Aaahhh... get off me!!!"
Martha shouted, after hearing that on the other line, I could not stop worrying about her.
I quickly dialed Gust's number to seek assistance and help since he could easily come to the building.
"Gust, go to the office quickly, Martha is in danger, I'll be on my way now,"
I said, then ending the call. I know Gust can hurriedly go to the building. Using his vampire ability, he will be able to get there within 10 minutes.
Right now, I can't easily use my abilities since I am currently with my driver.
But damn! I couldn't hold it anymore, so I just got out of my car while we were at the stop light and then ran as fast as I could.
In just a few minutes, I easily got to the building, but the office is on the 20th floor and I could no longer wait for the fucking elevator.
I decided to do what I should not do since it might compromise me once someone sees and recognizes me but still I jumped from window to window just by quickly getting to the 20th floor.
I saw Gust roaming around the floor trying to find Martha.
"We can never find her like this; let's go check all the CCTV first,"
I said, and we both ran fast to get there.
As we entered the security office, I whispered into the two security guards' ear, commanding them to leave. They both left us inside and right away we could navigate all the CCTV footage. Gust navigates it, and at last, we find Martha.
"Sen take a look, who the fuck did this to her? Oh my God Sen, the elevator will fall at any minute",
Gust exclaimed while watching Martha, who was unconsciously sitting on the floor inside the elevator. "Damn Martha!!!"
I shouted and then quickly went to the elevator, but the door was closed, having this fear inside me that Martha might be dragged down by the falling elevator. I let out all my strength to open the door, my eyes turned red and my fangs come out.
When I finally opened the door, it was on the 22nd floor and was about to fall every second, I thought of climbing up to get inside but its metal string suddenly gave up, which made the elevator rapidly fall to crash on the surface while Martha, is unconscious inside.
Shit! Please, Martha, wake up, and get a hold of yourself! Damn it!
I quickly jumped, chasing the falling elevator and landed on its roof, then quickly got in to pull Martha out.
Martha is barely conscious now and is able to see me, which worries me. I mean, I have let out my fangs now and my eyes aren't yet back to normal so I turned my face away. "Ma'am"

Martha whispered, but suddenly passed out.
I hurriedly lifted Martha, and then, with my full strength, I jumped high to reach the roof of the elevator again. When we were already out, I held on to the other string that served as a lever. Luckily, I was able to save Martha from the elevator crashing.
Gust and I quickly took Martha to the hospital.
"So far the patient is okay, a minor bruise, but she is fine,"
The doctor said but I wasn't happy about it, I want to make sure she is safe!
"You're not going to do a CT scan or MRI? The patient was found unconscious inside a crashing elevator. Head trauma or injury is the possible reason why she passed out and it's your job to make sure the patient will go home safe and fine! I can pay for all the procedures so do the fucking test on her!"
I shouted at the doctor. I know Gust couldn't believe my reaction, a lot of firsts time can be seen in my gestures right now. I am surprised with myself as well, especially when the subject is Martha.
"Hey Sen, relax,"
Gust said, trying to calm me down.
"Those bastards don't know the right thing to do!"
I said, trying to control my emotions since I am really pissed off right now!
"She will be fine Sen, so you need to calm down. Next thing I know, everyone here will be dead in the morning if you don't calm yourself up!"
Gust said, trying to loosen me up. I let out some air and calmed myself before facing Gust.
"Get the copy of the CCTV record of the whole day's footage; it is impossible that it is Natasha. I just warned her earlier at the hotel"
I explained.
"Yes, I check Natasha's movements after your encounter with her and she never uses any phone, even her cellphone, or talks to anyone" Gust said.
"Go now Gust gets the footage, we can't risk another day not knowing what will happen next to Martha"
I said.
"Alright, just update me about her"
Gust said, and then left.
After a series of tests, Martha is now stable except for the bruises on her arms; I am just standing beside her bed while she is still unconscious.
I seriously stare at her but my mind keeps on thinking who was that bastard trying to kill Martha this time? I don't think it is Natasha. I assure her that she will be in lie low haunting Martha. I just hate seeing her in danger. I may not be able to control it anymore next time.

While I kept staring at her with a lot of thoughts running through my mind, I did not notice that Martha was already awake.
"Ma'am"
Martha said in a weak voice. I was a little stunned to see Martha opening her eyes.
"Hey, how do you feel now?"
I asked.
"Ahmm I-I am okay, but my arms are hurt since the man wearing a black cap just dragged me away from the elevator, then I don't remember what happened next", Martha explained.
"It's okay, you don't need to remember everything, Gust is looking at the CCTV now, and you better get a rest",
I said with crossed arms.
MARTHA'S POV
I opened my eyes and found myself in the hospital. When I looked around, Ms. Selene was just standing next to me while staring at me. She seemed to have a deep thought about something when I called her. "Ma'am"
I said, and then she turned her eyes on me, looking stunned at seeing me awake. She asked how I felt, and then I said I was okay aside from my arms, which were still hurting.
I can see how worried she is, so I just assured her that I would be fine.
Honestly, I wasn't able to see the man's face that grabbed and dragged me away from the elevator. I passed out and then woke up inside the elevator where he was doing something around. I just don't remember what it is, because I just passed out again.
Ms. Selene just spent her time with me here in the hospital; she is just walking here and there while talking to a lot of people on the phone. I tried to simply gaze at her, then try my best to turn my head away every time she was about to look at me. I pretended to be asleep, and then opened my eyes to throw a glimpse at her again.
After turning my head away and closing my eyes pretending I was sleeping, I then opened my eyes again, then threw her a look at the window where she was standing just a minute ago, still talking on the phone, but I was confused when I didn't see her there and I was stunned when she suddenly spoke beside me sitting calmly at the chair with cross legs and arms.
"Looking for someone?"
She suddenly said, which startled me and I just turned my head to the other side, then closed my eyes, pulled on the blanket and covered myself.
Shit, that was really embarrassing! I didn't know she was already sitting beside me, but it was really impossible for her to just move in just a second when going to the chair. I mean, it should at least take time!
I was still covering myself with a blanket when I heard the chair move, then silence surrounded me.
I slowly uncovered myself with the blanket, making sure she was gone, but I was shocked when a soft, warm and moist lip touched my forehead...
"I will never forgive anyone if something bad happens to you again."
She said after kissing my forehead, and literally... I am stiffened!
