Chapter 4<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It has now been just over a month since the party and I am now back at college.
It’s been going better than expected.
I didn’t see no hide nor hair of Nate or Dexter, thankfully.
Which is surprising, because it isn’t a very big campus.
I managed to catch up with my classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me and Beth are still best friends and are still sharing my flat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was now Thursday and my final class were almost over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beth had to see a school counselor about some of her issues with her losing her family,
She had to see him a couple of times a month, but has missed the last one due to all the problems.
So she had no choice but to go today, and I had to head home by myself.
Today would be the first time I would be alone since the dorm incident and
I’m not going to lie; I am pretty worried about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“See you later Hale. You sure you’ll be OK?” she asks me.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine?” I said as I waved her away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started to walk down the empty corridor towards the exit that led to the car park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t told Beth this, but I have been having the strongest feeling of being watched almost since the start of my return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to my car without any incident, much to my happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got out my keys and unlocked the car and got in closing the door and locking it again behind me.
I have been obsessed with locking the doors behind me the last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I threw my bag in the passenger seat.
“Thank god,” I muttered to myself as I rested my head and arms on the steering wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as I sat up I felt something go over my mouth and then everything went black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five hours later\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I woke up sometimes on a king size bed in a large unfamiliar room.
I stood up and looked around to try and figure out where I was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were a large window and one door.
I made my way to the window and looked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I could see was darkness and what looked like trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked at my watch to see it was now past ten.
What had happened to me to lose more than five hours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried to open the window, but it was locked tight leaving me only one choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I slowly walked over to the door on my tip toes so not to be heard.
I placed my hand on the door handle and slowly turned it, opening the door as quietly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Most rooms were mainly wood, so maybe I am in a cabin,’ I thought to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sneaked out of the room but stopped when I stepped on a loose floorboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hi honey, nice to hear your awake,” I heard a deep voice say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
