The beach part 2

I'm gonna start putting your thoughts in italics

************

Slowly, I try opening my eyes but I'm only able to half open one as my right eye is swollen shut and my left eye is half swollen. I notice I'm sitting down in a chair but I have no clue how I got there or where I am

Squinting, I try looking around the room, searching for some sort of clue to where I am.

Suddenly I hear a voice say, "she's awake, someone go get hatter" and  I remember what happened and where I am.

Desperate to get out, I try standing up but my hands, arms, legs and waist are all tightly bound to the chair. "what the fu-"I whisper under my breath as I try wriggling my hands out of the rope but then I feel a gun get pressed up against my temple.

I freeze and hear a familiar voice say "stop moving or else I'll have to shoot this bullet through your head."

Niragi.

I lift my head up and glare at him, but I stop struggling because the rope is bound too tightly for me to be able to get out anyway.

I lean back in my chair, waiting for this "hatter" person to come and see me. That's when I notice that my shoulder has been bandaged, the cut on my head has been cleaned up and had a bandage on it. I also noticed that there was no longer blood my face.

Well at least they had the decency to clean me up.

With Niragi's gun barrel still pressed against my head, I start looking around the room. It's the same room as I was in before I passed out except now there was less people in the room, only niragi, a tall lady wearing a white shirt, denim shorts and sunglasses, a oldish looking man wearing glasses and another man who was talking to niragi, also holding a gun.

Just at that moment, there's a loud bang as "hatter" as long as a few other people walk in through the door and niragi lowers his gun from my temple.

"Ahhh I see you've finally woken up" he says in that same cheerful voice, grinning at me.

Not sure how to respond to that, I decide to just keep my mouth shut.

"So, do you wanna join the beach?" Hatter asks, looking at me

"the beach?" I say, confused.

"This place, a utopia, a place of freedom in this country." He says as he pulls back a large black curtain, revealing the rest of the room.

The wall at the back of the room was covered in large playing cards, 4 rows, hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds. Although, lots of the cards had been crossed off with spray paint.

"The beach's mission is to collect a full set of playing cards, in order to allow one person to leave this country." Hatter says, his tone indicating that he is the one person.

"Country?" I say, confused as to why he's calling it a country.

"This place, it must be a country based on the fact we are given visas." Hatter says, as he turns back around to face me.

"So, do you want to join us? Chishiya here says you have a lot of potential and could be of use." He says, nodding his head towards Chishiya who I hadn't was standing in the corner until just now.

He was slouched against the wall, his white hood pulled over his face and hands in his hoodie pockets. He was staring intently at me.

I cant stop myself from giggling at hatters words "yeah, a fat load of potential I have, i seem to have a talent of getting shot and passing out" I scoff.

Hatter only smiles at me, "you don't have to be modest here... what did you say your name was?"

"I didn't say my name". I say flatly, but out of the corner of my eye I see niragi take a step towards me so I quickly say "it's Y/N".

"well Y/N, do you want to join the beach?" Hatter asks once more.

"Well I don't really think I have much of a choice do I." I say brightly, only half joking.

Once again he just smiles at me, "we only have three rules here, 1. You must always wear a swimsuit"

Are you kidding?

"2. You are free to do anything you like and have fun. You can even do drugs, drink alcohol and have sex! And 3." he pauses, his face turning grim as he looks at me. "death to traitors".

I cant stop my mouth from falling open.

This place is crazy

"But as long as you hand in all your cards you get, you'll be fine, now when you were unconscious we couldn't find any cards on you, where are they."

"uhh I don't have any cards" I say, hoping they'll believe me.

I feel the familiar, cool metal of niragi's gun get pressed against my temple.

"Are you sure about that princess?" I hear him whisper in my hear.

gross

"Yes, I swear I have no cards." I'm starting to panic because the look on hatters face implies that he doesn't believe me, but then I hear a calm voice speak up from the corner."

"She's telling the truth. I've been in her only two games so I would have brought back the card from her games." Chishiya states.

Hatter grins at me and I feel niragis gun pull away from my head. "Oh! Well in that case your free to go to your room, I'll get chishiya to show you there, as you already seem to know each other."

Chishiya sighs loudly as he pulls his hood off his head and starts walking towards me. He stands behind me and I feel his hands against mine as he starts untying the tight knot that ties my hands together.

His hands are surprisingly soft, and very cold. He moves quickly, not hesitate at all as he swiftly removes the rope.

After he removes frees my hands, he stands back and I realise he expects me to do the rest myself. We sit in silence as I untie the rest of myself.

Finally, holding onto the chair, I stand up. I'm careful not to stand up too quick as I don't want  to get dizzy and collapse again.

Once I'm steady on my feet, I look towards Chishiya who is still intensely staring at me, his dark brown eyes catch mine and I grin at him "So, where's my room?"

Sorry if this chapter is rlly boring and kinda short. And also sorry it took me like 11 days to upload this, I've just had no motivation and I keep forgetting about it and I have no idea how to write down what I want to say in words.
