I couldn’t force myself to save myself. I couldn’t make the one thing happen that I needed so badly. I couldn’t acquire my freedom even when standing in its fleeting light.
Stockholm Syndrome at its utter finest. She was right.
I was stupid.
“Who is Ms. Doone?” I ask, my head hung in disbelief.
She answers conversationally, as if she’s just as shocked as I am by my sudden muteness, “Oh, um…I don’t know. It’s a name Ashley used…after we checked into the hotel. You know, when we left.”
“Doone?”
“Lorna Doone.”
“Like…the cookies?”
“No, like the book, I guess. Who knows?”
“Why would you still use it?”
“I don’t know, Kyla. Does it matter?”
“Hey, I’m just asking, ok?”
She started pacing, eventually sitting on the edge of the bed, “I need to know where she is.”
“Spencer…”
“I have to know,” she says, softly. When her eyes raise to find mine, there are tears in them. And I am instantly jealous.
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give (except the effort to scream) to be able to show emotion. But I can only show impenetrable strength.
“What is this? What’s going on?” I ask, sitting in a chair that faces her.
“I need answers, Ky. Someone has to tell me why this happened. How did it start? Why me? What was real…what wasn’t?”
“Promise me, Spencer…and I know I don’t deserve anything from you. Any kind of mercy. But please promise me that when all of this is said and done and the dust has settled, promise me that you’ll spare her. Because if you only knew how Rebecca is…the way she treats her…you would understand.”
“Explain it to me.”
I shrug as best I can with my limited mobility, “I wouldn’t know where to begin.”
She nods, walking over to where I stand. Her fingers go to work untying the rope around my wrists. The act seems so intimate, that my eyes instantly flutter closed.
“Can I trust you?” she whispers, holding my hands.
Can she? Because I needed to ask myself the very same question.
“Yes,” I say, hating that it just might be true.
“Then tell me.”
The second my mouth opened, the entire story poured out like an ocean of baited breaths. And those even, soft words I spoke for hours felt like the loudest screams I had ever been capable of releasing.

I know I’ve said this before, but I have to say it again… I love the quotes at the beginning of the chapters… I always go back and read them after I’m done reading to see if my understanding of them has changed… it’s a lot of fun… Anyway, great chapter… everything feels so desperate… I wonder who called the front desk?? And more importantly what kyla’s going to say about rebecca… I really have no idea how this is going to play out, and I love that! Seriously this story has me glued to the edge of my seat! I’m still hoping that ashley and spencer somehow end up together, but that seems like a stretch haha great update! Please pms! Thanks for writing!
Always well written, always original, always gripping. Another great chapter!
Rebecca intrigues me more and more with each update. the hold she seems to have on everyone. dying to know what kyla said about the whole thing! I’m sure we’ll find out eventually lol. I am also with jtsec about ash and spence ending up together but yea that seems rather impossible at this point. great update as always and I sit with baited breath waiting for the next!
Well! Should I expect a full explanation of the situation next chapter or are you going to continue to tangle us up in your web?? Whatever it is I know I’m going to enjoy every minute of it! This chapter filled in a few blanks for me in your ever teasing way…an insight into Ashley and Ky;a’s relationship and an intimate yet still outside perspective on Ashley and Rebecca…..
ooo, i’m so excited!
