Poison

Perilous. 1

I walked out of school with my best friend Jade Gauntlett. Jade was always there for me. When I was lonely she stood up and changed that.

"Hey, are you coming back to mine?" She asked hoping I'd say yes.

"No sorry. I've gotta go meet my dad at his work" I gave her a pressed lip smile.

She pouted. "Okay...." She was clearly disappointed.

We said our goodbyes and she walked off.

I sighed and took out my phone.
As I walked, I glanced up and down from the screen to the path in front to make sure I don't bump into anyone.

Once I approached the place that I usually got picked up, I pocketed my phone and was immediately confused.

Nobody was there.

A crease formed in between my eyebrows. I looked around attempting to see if I could find my bodyguard, Henry.

Being a mafia girl comes with expectations, and a lot of danger. So that comes with a bodyguard. Even though I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself, not to brag, I still need someone to protect me as I flee the scene.

Henry is usually always there waiting for me. Today was a normal day, so why wasn't he here waiting. I pulled out my phone again and was about to call Henry.

Suddenly, I felt a strong hand around my mouth, and another grab my waist. I kicked my legs hard on the floor. I struggled to get free from the persons grip. I kept trying to force myself forward. A bag was then forced over my head, a hand was still firm on my mouth. I then stopped struggling and I sank into the persons firm grasp on me. I allowed them to carry me away.

I was then put into the back of a car, the bag was snatched from over my head. A man stood over me, tattoos covering his neck, a shaved head and a stubble beard, he had two lines tattooed from his would be hairline all the way to the back of his neck. He grabbed my ankles and held them together, I tried to kick my feet out of his hands, but he tied them up with rope before I could shake them free.
I kicked my feet hard against his chest. He grabbed my wrists together and tied them tight with ropes. He pulled out what looked like a tranquilliser dart, he put it into a hand gun and shoved it against my neck.

I screamed, only for him to pull the trigger and I felt the dart sink into my skin. I became dizzy, the sight of the back of a car around me began to spin fast and got slower and slower as I felt my self start to fall asleep.

I woke in a large room and with several spot lights. In my mouth was a rope fastened tightly around my head stopping me from talking. Under each light was a girl, very similar to me, petite, shoulder length dark hair, small button nose, and tan skin.

A spotlight was over me too. I was kneeling down on a hard stone floor, my hands were now attached to long chains connected to the ceiling, my feet were still tied together. I began to panic at my confinement, I struggled my arms and legs trying desperately to free from the grasp of the chains.

"You're not going to get free" a deep voice spoke.

I hummed loudly as if to say 'who's there.'. The same man from earlier emerged from the darkness. I struggled against the chains again, humming into the rope in my mouth. He knelt down in front of me. He took the rope out of my mouth.

"What is your name?" He asked.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"What's your name?" he asked again, growing impatient.
