Irresistible(A Jennifer and Colin fan fiction)Once upon a time/captain swan

Chapter Fifty Four- His Dark Place

        Pulling up to the building, instantly she felt uneasy. First, it had been abandoned. Dark, secluded, and screamed serial killer to her. But in her head, she knew if she were to try to escape, he would most likely try to kill her. Walking slowly behind him, she watched as he opened the door harshly with a loud kick that echoed in the building. Jennifer discovered incredibly quickly on how much he had truly liked her. A computer was set up on the far end but posters upon posters were caked upon the walls of her. Seeing her expression and her frozen in place, he became worried.

        "I guess you could say I'm your biggest fan..." He said blushing.

        He pulled her further in and she saw behind one wall was a bed next to a dresser as well as a television and bathroom.

        "I thought you lived in that house?"

        "No...that was my brother's. He died in Afghanistan two years ago and gave it to me in his will. But I spend most of my time here. Too many people show up at my door....I don't like talking to many people..." He said as he turned on the remote and there was Once Upon a Time on the screen.

        "I have every season and have watched at least all the episodes three times..."

        She froze. He was a stalker. Whomever had hired him, picked the perfect guy. Someone mentally unstable and completly vulnerable.

        "Whoever paid you...what did they give you for stalking me?"

        "Money. Lots and lots of it. Also, access to see you. They got me a job as a photographer. I've always loved cameras. The way you can see people but they can't see you..."

        Even the words he spoke sent chills down her spine. Not in the way Colin's words did. Henry's words made her chest tighten and her heart stop still. Her hands clenched.

        "What are you doing?" She asked him as he took a box from under the desk. "This is what I wanted to show you..." He said as he placed it on the bed. She watched as he had a gun on his side.

        "You didn't have that before..." She said letting out a forced giggle.

        "Yeah...Put it on in the car in case Colin tried to get you. He needs to be put in his place."

        In that moment, Jennifer thought no matter what Colin had done, could not be as bad as killing someone. Her thoughts were interrupted when he spoke her name.

        "So? What do you think?" He asked as she opened the box to reveal its contents.

        Inside were ropes, handcuffs, and other forms of objects that restrain people including tape.

        "What am I supposed to say?"

        "I know you wanted me from the minute you responded to my first message. You sent your garments to me because you wanted the excitement...and the video...you wanted us to be physical in person and not on video-that's why you called. So I'd pick you up. You just didn't want Colin suspicious or vengeful. I understand Goldie..." He said as he caressed her arm.

        She shot up and headed toward the door.

        "No...I don't want this..." She said shaking her head viciously and found her eyes unable to close.

        "But you said you trusted me..."

        "I do...But this isn't right. You need to be with somebody you have a chance with...'

        "Are you saying I'm not good enough? Am I not tall enough? Am I not muscular enough? Irish enough?" He instantly became angry. Clenching his fists and growing incredibly vengeful. "How about experienced enough...with that you would be surprised...many women are willing to be tied up-even pay me for it..."

        "I'm not one of them..."

        "You might like it..."

        "No. I wouldn't...Please, I just want to go home..."

        "Home? Or back to him?"

        "Home. To my apartment with my things...MY home."

        "We can make a new one here...I have the room for you. It can be just as passionate..."

        "I don't want that. I want to be normal. This is not normal or healthy-just let me leave, let me go home..."

        "No...you'll go right back to him. He doesn't deserve you! I do! I am the one who has been waiting years for this moment! He waited ten minutes and he already had you! I need you!"

        "No you don't. You are capable of being alone...It's alright.."

        "I've been alone too damn long in my life! No women are like you Jennifer...." He said going to stroke her face. She pushed her cheek away.

        "I knew you told him....about me..."

        "How?"

        "You see...You were not always home and he was not secret about his apartment with you. I just didn't have any ears on you when he took you to his home. To be honest, I was surprised he did at all...considering his marriage..."

        "You bugged my apartment?"

        "No...well...It depends on how you want to look at it. "bugged" isn't the right phrase..."

        "What did you do?"

        "Cameras. With microphones. Bathroom, living room, bedroom, even the hallway...I saw everything and heard it too. And what I couldn't hear I saw..."

        "Why? I would have given you an interview...or a meeting even...You didn't have to do all this.."

        "I never would have gotten you here..."

        As he spoke, she began to feel dizzy. "My Goldie..." He said rubbing her cheek with the back of his hand. She tried to fight but found it impossible. She fell onto the bed almost comatose with the amount of movement she was not producing. Even her breathing was shallow. Her eyes remained slightly open for time for one final question.

        "What did you do to me?"

        "I drugged your drink at the cafe...Never take a drink from a stranger..." He said as her eyes closed and everything went black.
