Epilogue:
Genesis 31:49
So that brings me to my current predicament. I'm not exactly sure how or why
they did it. There are SO many questions that are left unanswered. When I awoke
from what I can only assume to be a knock out drug, I was here. It's nothing
like I'd pictured it to be you know. When I think of people who have been
kidnapped, I think of beatings, rape, torture. None of those things have
happened to me. Not yet anyway. I'm actually being held in this huge room
complete with a king size bed, tread mill and even a small dorm sized fridge!
Pretty crazy I know. All of this is pretty crazy. They went all out to make me
feel as comfortable as possible. How nice of them!!!! My first few nights here,
I cried like a baby. Whenever they would come down, I would just say
"Why?" over and over again. I finally stopped crying when I realized
that it wasn't going to change anything. Now I plan on asking them tons of
questions.
Anything I can to get them to give me info to help me plan an escape. It looks
doubtful. But I'm not giving up.
They take turns coming down and baby-sitting me. They even brought me all of my
video games from home. They won't let me watch TV just yet. I quote, "They
don't think it would be a good idea for me to see what's going on in the
outside world."
It's funny actually, that I brought this journal home with me. If I hadn't I
would've gone insane by now. It has actually helped me keep my wits about me by
retelling what has happened. I have no idea how long I have been here. It feels
like weeks but I'm sure it's only been days. I have to remind myself to ask
them for a clock.
This room seems to be built specifically for imprisonment. There are no windows
at all. Well, actually I take that back, there is one window about 20 feet up.
This room is huge. it's built like an A-frame house but only it's one room. I
have spent the last few nights just trying to figure out where THEY are in
relation to me. Maybe this room is an add onof a bigger house, or maybe I'm in
the middle of nowhere. It beats me.
I wonder if anyone realizes I'm even gone? I guess they will soon enough. The
one thing that did surprise me about all of this, besides me being kidnapped by
two psycho's, is how religious and well thought out there plan must have been.
I was so stupid not to see the signs. After I got over asking why? I decided I
needed to know what the hell a Mizpah was anyway. He just looked at me and
smiled. He asked me if I ever read the Bible. I told him barely and he said he
would have to work on that with me. "I must save your souls before you
die" Gee what a happy thought! He told me that Mizpah was in the book of
Genesis in the Bible.
Genesis, know I see why he said it's his favorite. I was so stupid not to see
the signs...
I look up from my journal writing to see that they have slipped a piece of
paper under the door. Curiously I go and see what it is. I pick it up read it
and burst out laughing so hard I can't even control myself. That laughter turns
into uncontrollable sobs as I sink down to the floor and hold my knees and
rock. The paper falls next to me with the headlines face up.
BACKSTREET BOY GOES MISSING
Nick Carter 22, youngest member of the pop group Backstreet Boys, was
abductedfrom his home last Wednesday evening.
His bodyguard was found badly beaten and signs of a struggle where
evident. The fellow members of the blonde haired blue eyed singer's group are
offering a huge reward to anyone who canhelp with the where abouts of the
singer. The police currentlyhave no leads......
The End?
Author’s Note:
Just a brief explanation about what exactly Mizpah means. My family and I close
all of the letters we write to one another with the word Mizpah. It is a term
of affection taken from the bible.
Mizpah~ May God watch over us and keep us safe while we are apart one from the
other.
It is also used in context between two brothers who while having difficulties
getting along decide to briefly go their seperate ways. What better word
describes all of the emotions coming from the Backstreet camp these days.
I'm sure you still have many unanswered questions like who would do this to our
poor Nicky and will he get out alive? Well, when I started this story I was
going to leave that up to your imaginations. Fortunately, the charachters who
have taken on a life of their own, have insisted I do a sequel. :)
Don't worry, I promise it will be posted soon. I hate when writters keep us
readers hanging too long. LOL
While you're waiting, hop on over and read my other story The Long Road Home
I wanted to thank Julie, Izzy, and Amanda for hosting my stories and all of the
people who took time to e-mail me with feedback. It was greatly appreciated! A
special thanks to Kat for being a constant source of positive energy while I
was writting this dark story. This was my first attempt at fan fiction and I
would love it if you would drop me a line and let me know what you thought.
Keep an eye out for the sequel and until we meet again.
Mizpah,
Mare
