Deranged

Alyssa's POV

I could barely move my head around without my neck hurting. I was about 101% sure that there was gonna be bruises left behind. "From that scream, you could probably tell that my name is Austin." he said, looking down at me as I wheezed, taking in as much air as I could.

I didn't even care about his stupid name; I'm just glad to be alive. He threw me off and I rolled onto my side. "Why can't I leave?" I asked.
"Because he won't let you..."
Who the fuck does he keep talking about? I stood up and hesitated to follow him as he walked deeper into the tunnel.

I looked at the exit and sighed. So close...

Why doesn't "he" let me go? "Does 'he' want you to stay too?" I asked. Austin laughed and turned to me. "I just bring him what he wants. If not, then I die."
"Is that why you brought me? Because this thing wants me?!"
He smirked and muttered something under his breath. I didn't quite catch it so I continued to walk behind him.

What are my parents gonna think?

Their only child is missing. God, I'm gonna miss them.
I can't quite say that I lived a bad life, because I really haven't.
My parents were really close to me and they would always be there for me.
I would always get what I want, which makes me sound like a spoiled brat. I don't even think I would ask for much though.

I always thought of myself as a humble person. All I really asked for is a shirt or something but nothing more.
I bump into something hard and fall back. "A-Austin?"

"Stay here."
"No, Austin, please." I begged. I found it odd how I wanted to be with my kidnapper, but I felt safer with him than alone.
"Just stay here." I listened and leaned against the wall. It was so dark and cold.

A shiver went up my spine as I hear Austin's footsteps fade away. Soon enough, they were completely gone.

I could hear the sounds of rats running through the tunnel and low growls.
Fuck the rats, the growls is what was starting to get me to hyperventilate.
I pushed myself against the wall, squeezing my eyes tight.

The growls are getting closer to me.
Hot tears begin to go down my cheeks and I wipe them away with my sleeve.
Calm down, Alyssa...

UGH! CALM DOWN MY ASS!

I'm stuck in a tunnel with an insane man and something that doesn't want me to leave! Who knows what else can be lurking through this place!

"Alyssa... " it hissed. I flinched and slid down against the wall.
"ALYSSA!"
How does it know my name?! I let out a scream and hugged my knees. I wish it would've killed me instead of having to live through this horror.

I cried into my knees and covered my ears. "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!"

It was finally silent...

The only thing that could be heard was the echoing of my sobs.
I felt a hand of my shoulder and I quickly moved to the side. "Austin?"
"The one and only." he laughed. I threw myself at him and wrapped my arms around him.

I could tell he didn't expect it because of the way he tensed up. But he relaxed and patted my back.
"Looks like he really scared you." he said.

"Just please... Don't leave me alone again." I pleaded, still hugging him tightly.
"Oh sweetheart, just because I'm around, doesn't mean he's gonna stay away."

I shivered at his words. I broke the hug and looked at his tattoos in the moonlight.

"But I'll stay." he said.
"Oh my gosh, thank you. You have no idea how happy I a-"
"Shut up." he cut me off.
