A/N: Things are 'bout to get dangerous^ (Don't forget the video!)

Scarlett's POV:
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I am afraid. I am lost. My instinctual body slowly comprehended the mess I was in. But my mentality? It was clueless as fudge. Something which has the strength of mined diamonds, some abusive chemical of some sorts was victoriously blocking my sober self, my intelligent self. All I could assume was that Tyler had in fact set me up and drowned a drug in my martini. That's all I knew.

Excruciatingly slow, my mind was being clouded by a thick mist that would have looked like it came from a chimney if I wasn't speaking metaphorically, then I began to feel light-headed. My breathe hitching and pulse speeding up to inhuman rates. I've lost all connection with my body and joints, sweat glands working over-excessively to cool down my brawling body.

Silence.

Then, there was a movement somewhere beside me. I had known all this time that me and my capturers were traveling....no, wait. Not all of them are in here. I wrack my brain for more details. Ah, Tyler must be driving and who's this? The person keeping me firmly in place.

"Dōll seems to be a bit sweaty. Ok, that's a lie, she's a lot sweaty now. Like a dripping waterfall, T-Rex. Can I like.... I dunno, succour her?", realisation kicks hard as I remember that raspy masculine voice and nickname dōll.
But, who's T-Rex?......Tyler?! It can't be! I'm a damsel in distress genius!
I guess pervy-guy gives out pet names to everyone he meets.

"You out of all people know that I would dislike that very much. But maybe you could try waking her up, Tristan", there is an edge to Tyler's voice.

"Alright, it's ok, I won't bite", Tristan says, shifting beside me and with his finger tips (I hope) started to stroke my left cheek. My body shoots up like an electric shock, adrenaline suddenly coursing through my veins. Then, as if my power source was cut off, I falter in my step and fall right into the muscle-y arms of Tristan.

"Whoa there- Dōll! Slow down, I'm not going anywhere ok?", he (astonishingly!) sounds soft even with all that raspiness. Fingers stroke my hair, and for some weird reason he doesn't let me out of his latch, and for some weirder reason I experience slight tingles in my belly.

"Oi! What are the two of you doing back there?! You'd oughta be careful Tristan, I'm warning you. She's mine and only mine", Tyler bursts out, stiffening Tristan and I in our moment.
Wowzers, I don't mean moment moment in a romantic way, just moment. If that makes any sense.

I mentally snort at Tyler's possessive words. Ya right, I already belong to someone who'll rescue me and be my hero.

I didn't know whether I was referring to Robin but my guess beeps correct once a image of Robin pops up behind my eye lids. Those hazel orbs that seem to move deeper the longer you stared, those locks of brownish-blonde, and that smexy smirk!
Was I fan-girling? Or worse, ogling him?

An unwanted giggle seeps through my lips and the last thoughts I have are: Am I entering the faze called 'Going High'? And my subconscious seems to be missing...in this crucial situation.

"Why the f*ck is she giggling?", Tristan says, horrified.

"You, better not be the one making her giggle!", Tyler barks.

"No wait, I think it's kicking in! The ecstasy!", Tristan whoops.

An excited hand clutches my chin and turns my head to face something that's puffing out hot air, raggedly and quick.
I stiffen, realising what Tristan just said and realising what I'm facing right now.
