What's a Riddle?

Roxanne

     The next morning I was woken to my kidnapper holding a bottle of pain killers above my head with a glass of water in his other hand. "I'm guessing from all that crying you have a migraine." "How do I know those are real pain killers?" "Fine, don't take them. Just don't complain about your migraine with me." "Wait..I'll take it." He gives me the glass of water and a few pills. "Thank you!" I said in a dark voice. "You know you have an interesting way of saying thank you, or being grateful." "Well it's hard to be a nice to a fucking prick like you. Not to mention I was brought here against my will." "I'm just following orders. I really didn't want to take you either, but I didn't have a choice." "You poor thing." "Watch your mouth before I shut you up." "Really bitch..how?" He looked at me and grabbed my neck to drag me out of bed. "Don't make me hurt you!" He dropped me on the ground before walking out of the bedroom.
    For what I could say is Tom wasn't lying. He wasn't going to be here today. There wasn't even a bodyguard anywhere. Well he probably doesn't have one because he doesn't get to kidnap many people. There was already food out on the table, and there was a little note beside it. "Don't try to escape Roxy, I already let the Basilisk out of his cage." Now I'm not going to lie, I did believe him when he said the basilisk was dangerous. I know this because I remember Hermione giving me a lecture on mythical creatures. Also because we were taking a test, and I didn't study so I bribed her into helping me. The point is figuring out a way to escape was going to be difficult, but I had to try. I ate my breakfast quickly, and stole a few knives from Tom's room. I also looked around his room just for fun. His room was clean and gorgeous. It had a huge king sized bed with black silk sheets. His bathroom was bigger than mine, and his shower could fit up to ten people. His bath could fit five people, and his sink could fit one person. All I can say was his room was fucking amazing. After snooping around his room, and grabbing some of his knives. I walked quietly downstairs to the Basilisks chambers. When I got the the doorway I saw there wasn't a basilisk in sight. But I still chose to be quiet, but that's hard when there is water all around you. I didn't even hear growling anywhere, but I saw the exit door. I walked very slowly towards the door, and I didn't even notice that I stepped in a puddle. I froze but I still didn't hear anything so I walked closer to the door. A few seconds after something huge crashed in my way and part of the statues fell in front of me. I was on the ground and when I looked up I saw the basilisk, but it didn't have eyes; the basilisk is blind, but I can hear.
     I saw that it was looking for me, and I even chose to hold my breath. I grabbed one of the knives from my pocket and threw it across the chamber. Just like I hoped it went after it. I walked towards the door very slowly, and saw that there was no door handle. "Fuck!" I shouldn't have done that. I heard it coming back, and I chose to run back upstairs. Before I could reach it I tripped and I hit my head. I was still conscious, but my head was pounding a little. I heard it was close so I grabbed another knife, and threw it at its eye. Which it landed, but it didn't do what I wanted it to do. The creature was still alive, but just in so much pain. While slowing walking away from the basilisk, I saw a huge arrow in one of the snake statues mouth. It gave me an idea. There was no fucking way I could reach that far up, but I know the basilisk could...only if I forced it to..so I did. I grabbed my second to last knife, and hit the snake statue so the basilisk would run right into it. Knocking the huge arrow down to my level, and just like I hope the basilisk did just that. He ran into the stone like he was purposely trying to give himself a concussion. I actually think it did because after it did that he shook his head like he was in pain. Like I give a flying fuck about a creature than my own freedom. I grabbed the arrow, and climbed onto the basilisk's back. It clearly didn't like that I was on it because it kept thrashing back and forth. But I luckily got to the top and shoved the arrow right through its head. I heard the screeching of the basilisk make my ears ring, and I actually wish I didn't crawl on top of its head, because I'm now going down with it. I could tell it was about to fall to the ground and I quickly grabbed onto the sides of its head while it fell to the ground with me standing on top of it. I feel like Hermione would be taking a vile of the basilisk's venom, or taking parts of its skin to analyze the creatures abilities. I pull the arrow out of the basilisk's head, and the second I do. I hear slow clapping far behind me by the door way. When I turn around I saw Tom standing in the doorway wearing his suit. "Well, congratulations. I never knew you would be able to kill my basilisk. Very impressive." He gave me a dark stare though through his slight compliment, and I knew that I was royally fucked.
