1 chapter 1

My heart was racing as pain surged through my body. I groaned loudly and attempted to sit up, only to curse and fall back to the damp, cold floor.

My palms pressed against the concrete as I closed my eyes, grimacing at the intense pain. Tears rushed to the corner of my eyes as I pressed my cheek against the floor, the cold felt nice on my skin.

Slowly, I opened my eyes, taking in as much of my surroundings as I could. The room was dark, the floors were plain concrete without any form of design. It was plain darkness and solidarity.

The only sounds were from my sobs that I wished someone would hear and come to my rescue but it was to no avail, it seemed I was in a place distant from humanity and no matter how hard I tried, I was going to eventually drown in my unending pool of sorrow.

I closed my eyes in an attempt to remember what had happened and it came rushing back like unstoppable streams. My body was in total numbness as the events of last night came back to me.

*yesterday at 5 pm*

"mum I want to go out for a stroll, I will be back before you know it, I promise.", I said as I quickly walked towards the door. " Ok dear, be back early, it already turning dark outside", my mum said. "ok mum, bye mum", I said from the other side of the door.

I proceeded with my walk, I plugged in my headphones listening to one of Alessia Cara's songs. she was indeed a talented soul. I walked for some minutes through a path I could not recognise. I instantly knew that I was lost. A black van approached and I decided to go ask for help. As the van came to a halt a few meters away from where I stood, I approached it in hope of getting help. As I arrived, two men dressed in black suits came out of the van with masks and I knew immediately that I wasn't safe, I tried to run but they were faster than me and before you know, I was taken away.

*present day*

I didn't know the time nor the day and I simply couldn't remember my name. It seemed as though I was brainwashed.

I was interrupted by the sounds of footsteps. Two men descended the rickety set of stairs, slowly approaching me. I scooted as far as I could against the wall. Right there and then, I wished that the ground would open up and swallow me.

" Wow, you look really bad", the man on the right said with disgust. He had dark brown hair which was slipped to the back by way too much hair gel.

The other man was a blonde, he was built but not too much, he had blue eyes that I could have easily gotten lost in if I wasn't kidnapped.

"Way to boost a woman's ego", he said to the other guy with a scoff.
