Amaya:


"Ouch!" My throbbing head is the first thing I notice as I try to get my bearing. Where am I? I force my eyes open but I can't see one damn thing. I start to panic but then I feel a tightness in the back of my head. My hands go up to feel it up and I realize there's a cloth tied over my eyes. I relax only for panic to attack as everything comes back to me . I was just kidnapped off the street! My hands! I struggle to get them apart, they seem to be stuck together. Tied to each other more likely! My hackles rise.
"Rory?!" I call out into the darkness. My voice bounce against the wall and comes back to my ears as echos. This place must be practically empty. Did I get abandoned here to die of starvation and thirst? Again, my panic rise. I struggle to sit up but a sharp pain bite into my ankles. They're bound together just like my hands.
"In anyone in here?!" I scream. The ominous echo greets my ears again. Tears burn the back of my eyes and I can't even seem to shed them with the cloth around them.
"Somebody! Anybody! Help!" I scream louder. There's only echoing again. I release an all out wail this time.
"Rory! Help! Please!" I cry. My voice is the only sound I can hear

. I don't even hear traffic. Where the hell am I?
"Watson? Are you there?" Again, nothing.
"Watson I swear to God! If you're out there and you're just watching me lose my mind with the silence I'm I'm---- " I choke on a sob. What am I going to do?
  I try to get myself together to think of a solution. My position on the cold floor makes my back ache. I try again to sit up to no avail, instead I roll on the dust covered floor.
"Damn!" I cuss when my leg hit something solid. A chair? I try to feel around for it but end up losing control and falling on my back. A dull pain shoot up my back and I groan in pain. It feels like I fell on a blunt object and I try to find it with my hands. I roll over to the side to get a better chance of getting the blunt object out of my path to avoid falling on it again. I brush over dust and what feels like cobwebs before my hand touch something. I manage to pull it towards me and maneveur it into my palm. Is this what I think it is? My phone?! My heart beat picks up pace. I fumble with the screen to check if its on.
"Oh you're awake!" I hear the voice before the footsteps and I drop the phone to the ground. My breath hitch as I feel rather than see Watson stoop to the ground in front of me. A shiver shake my timid frame.
"Oh. Are you cold?" I hear him say in a voice that sounds unlike his. I try to speak but notice my teeth are a clattering mess. I can't get words out. This isn't cold. It's fear.
"Here." I feel soft material touch my skin and I jump in fright. Watson doesn't seem to notice. I slowly push the phone with my ass and pray it doesn't break under my weight.
"Nice." He mutters as he pulls the ropes off my hands. I flex them a little before they are shoved into what seems like a coat. His coat. I feel colder. I can't even wrap my hands around myself the way they're tied. My hand slowly goes up to touch him just to be sure he's there and I'm not hallucinating. I touch cold skin and my heart sink. I wished so much that everything wasn't true and Watson was sincerely my friend. The tears stinging my eyes flow freely now as I sob into the dusty ground. I don't even know what to feel now? Fear? Cold? Disappointment? Dispair?
"Hush now baby. I'm here." My tears fall in fatter drops at his words. I feel him cradle me between his legs and I freeze. So does my tears. Is the phone visible now? I try not to make my fear of being caught obvious.
"Did you cry because I tied you up? Here, let me get that off for you." My head feel a little light as the cloth is pulled off my eyes. It takes a while for my eyes to get used to the environment but it's still pretty dark in here. I covertly check to see that the phone isn't visible then my eyes take in everything in the room which isn't much. The first thing I notice is the bed at the corner of the room. I try not to think about it. There are a few chairs which looks too new for the old abandoned room. Aside that, there's a plasma on the wall and then a GOTV decoder. My brows furrows. Is this his house? Are we still in the little town?
"You always said you love the ETV channel so I got this for our house." My head snaps back and for the first time I take in the face of the man who I called friend. He's grinning but his eyes are rimmed red and really unfocused. His hair sticks all over the place and it looks wet. With sweat. I cringe.
"How do you like our new place Amaya?" He asks. There's that word again. 'Our'
"Our place?" I croak out. He smiles and nods.
"It's a little small but don't worry. I already started making preparations to get us out of the country. That's where we will start our family. Our children should be American citizens don't you think?" He asks with a dopey smile while I stare at him in awe. Children? Family?
"Yes. I know you can't wait but bear with me okay?" He says as if reading my mind and answering my questions. His hands pat my hair down casually. I'm getting more freaked out by his calm madness. I try to remain as calm as he is. Play his game for as long as I can in hope that Rory would find me soon. I know he's coming.
"Watson I-- I want to go home." I manage to get out. His casually patting on my hair stops but only for a second before it continues.
"I know you do baby--" I cringe.
"I--"
"I'll get us home as soon as I can. I just need to get rid of your hus-- Rory I mean." I gasp and jump away from him. Our eyes clash and I see his lips curl down as he studies his hanging hand.
"You recoiled from my touch." He says slowly. I watch his features change like a hundred times before settling on anger. I gulp down in fright. My tied legs won't get me any far but I drag my sore ass across the floor as fast as I can when he stand up from the chair.
"Wats--" a harsh slap blind me momentarily and the force of it level me flat on the floor. I taste tears and blood. Rory! Please help. I'm heaved off the floor like a sack of potatoes and with my t-shirt he pulls me up to eye level. His ever struggling features settle on looking sorry this time.
"You made me angry. I'm so sorry baby. I just--" his eyes leave my face to settle on my shirt.

. That sorry look in his eyes? They turn to anger again. My eyes drop down to my shirt. I remember it's the couple tshirt Rory had me wear this morning.
"Arggggghhhhhh!" Watson yells as he grabs the flimsy material and tears it off my body. I yell in fright. He doesn't stop there. His fingers tangle in the necklace around my neck. No! Don't. I turn from him but this only makes him angrier.
"Mine!" He yells as he pulls the chain off my neck. It stings like hell and I scream. I try to scramble away from him but he holds my tied legs. My state of undress is the last thing on my mind right now.
"You're mine!" A sudden blow to the back of my head snaps the consciousness out of me.
