Part 45- A Life For A Life

"Let's go then!" I was ready for it.

"Think with a clear mind. You can't risk your life like that. You have your baby remember? Stay here, I'll go with some other members" she reminded me.

"I promise I'll stay in the car but please let me join" I insisted.

"Not getting out of the car at all. Let's go" she hesitatingly agreed as we made our way of the institute.

Getting into Athena's car, she drove away in full speed as I was praying in my heart that Aslan would be safe.

Soon, we arrived at an odd looking place. It looked like an abandoned area, the vibe was scary.

"Stay here. I have my team with me so rest assured. I'll bring him back safe." Athena said grabbing the paper from me and getting out of the car before locking it.

I waited impatiently while silently praying. I felt like my heart was shaking of fear but I refused to make a statement or believe myself.

He will be fine...right, Allah?

Suddenly, my prayers got interrupted as I heard a gunshot. Bringing my hands to my ears in fear, I closed my eyes immediately before opening them as I looked in front of me and saw a man standing.

He was in front of the car, did he shoot the car?

"Get the fuck out! Now!" he yelled.

The door is locked and I am safe in here but it looks like I am not anymore. Shit.

How am I going to deal with this?

The man kept yelling for me to get out of the car and threatening me.

Building my courage up, I started looking around in the car for something that could protect me. There's gotta be something in this freaking car.

As I kept searching, I finally found a gun. I nervously gulped at the sight.

This is the only weapon I have to protect myself. Ya Allah.

I grabbed it with shaky hands before hiding it in my sock. I saw Aslan doing this many times, I am copying him now. If I get attack in any way, I'll manage some way to protect myself with this gun. Only protect myself, I'm not killing anyone.

Unlocking the door, I got out and faced the man.

"You're gonna fucking listen to my orders and I promise you, your life will be safe. You just have to do as I say." He said as I nodded.

He grabbed me by the neck from behind in a harsh way before making me follow him some where.

As we got into the abandoned building, he stopped and faced me properly.

"Take that thing off of your head" he ordered.

"Please...not this..." I begged but it was already decided when he pointed his gun to my stomach.

"Take it off" he repeated.

Immediately, I took off my hijab and gave it to him as he ripped it making it into pieces.

"Open your mouth" he ordered as I did.

He placed the clothing in my mouth and then attached it from behind my head as I became unable to utter a word.

"You're my hostage now" he stated.

Grabbing me once again, I followed him as we climbed the building's stairs. Being in my 6th month of pregnancy, I was already exhausted.

I was sweating like crazy and my pulse was going insane. I was trying everything to keep my calm which was not even close to possible.

We stopped at the third floor of this building. It looked like it had already been in construction but was left off unfinished.
