Chapter 3: The Strange Man

4.23 pm

As the strange man approached Lucy, she started to feel a bit uneasy. She decided to open her left eye to get a good look at the strange man. He was tall, lean, had brown hair, freckles and brown eyes that you could get lost in.

"Ahh... So she's awake," says the strange man, peering down at her.

"Who are you!?" Demands Lucy, "let me go!"

"You'll find out eventually," exclaims the strange man.

"I said let me go!!" Yells Lucy. The strange man just ignores her and leaves, locking the shed door behind him.

As soon as Lucy is sure that the strange man is gone, she sits back up trying to get the wire off her legs so she can escape.

6.37 pm

After what seemed like a life time, she finally got the wire off her legs. She stood up and had a proper look around through the window, just to see that the strange man was making his way back to the shed. Lucy had so think fast, what was she going to do!? She quickly grabbed the shovel and waited by the door waiting for the strange man. What Lucy didn't know was that the strange man had come prepared. She stood there listening to the man fiddle with the lock. Once the door was unlocked it creaked open.

Lucy swung the shovel, only to feel a sharp pain in the left side of her abdomen. She looked down to see blood, and a lot of it. Lucy quickly realised she'd been shot, not sure what to do, she kept on trying to hit the strange with the shovel, but failed.

Lucy was in so much pain and shock, that she just passed out.

4.57 am

"Ughh," moans Lucy as she wakes up in pain. She sits up and looks around the room before her. It was big, cold and bland. In the room there was a large flickering light, mold on the walls, a strong metal door and a huge mirror along one side of the wall, which Lucy could tell right away was a two-way mirror, but there was no bed. As soon as she remembered recent events, she looked down at her gunshot wound, only to see that it had been stitched up and bandaged over.

"Hello?" Lucy called out, "is anyone behind there?" She didn't get an answer, she assumed that no one was there. Suddenly she heard footsteps booming outside the door, and they stopped just outside of her door. Then, the door slowly creaked open...
