Everything was falling into place now. Donovan led Drea deeper and deeper into the forest. He held her hand tightly, not wanting to let her out of his sight. No one would be able to find them now. It would be just him and Drea, here forever.
They had finally arrived to the clearing. Donovan turned to Drea. "We're here, Drea. Everything is okay now." Then he showed her the house, and her name carved in the dirt, which he had planted white lillies in so that when they grew her name would appear. Donovan smiled at Drea, expecting her to embrace him.
To his dismay, Drea did the exact opposite. She became even more upset. Tears began to fill her eyes. "I don't like this, Donovan. Your scaring me! Take me back to campus right now!" she demanded. Donovan couldn't believe this. He had done so much for her! And this is how she repays him?
Donovan wouldn't stand for this. "Going back to campus won't solve anything! You have to stay here!" he said through gritted teeth. Drea shook her head, then slid down to her knees and sobbed even harder. Well, if she won't listen to me, then I'll just have to make her, Donovan thought.
He knelt down beside her. "Ok. If that's really what you want, then I'll take you back." He helped Drea back up, and they walked back in the direction of the campus. After a few minutes, though, Donovan began leading her a different way. Soon a porta-john came into veiw.
Drea looked at Donovan, confused. "I don't remember seeing that before, Donovan. Where are we?"
"That is for me to worry about," replied Donovan, pulling out a piece of rope.
"What are you doing with--No, NO!" Drea shrieked as Donovan grabbed her and tied the rope around her. He thrust open the door of the porta-john and pushed her inside.
"If you won't listen, then I'm not going to help!" Donovan shouted as he put in a rod to lock her in. If he couldn't have her, then nobody will, ever again.
