Sophie locked eyes with Ruy, whatever his plan was she wasn't giving in.
"No." She said looking away from him,
"You get one last chance to tell us..." He said and Sophie heard a whirring sound. She glanced back, he took her memory, coerced her into falling in love and getting engaged after torturing her. At this point Sophie didn't care what he did, well maybe she did but, she shrugged it off.
"No." She said, not prepared when Ruy rushed towards her, grabbing her wrists.
"You will regret that decision..." he growled, nodding towards the other figure in the room.
Sophie? a voice in her head said, who was this oh Tam, Tam? she said tentatively. do you know where you are? Before she could respond, the figure stalked towards her with a knife. uhh..No...no I don't but I'm in the same apartment building I met Keefe by I think.
She was ripped out of the connection when she felt a knife or something dragging down her shin. She screamed, fisting her hands. She gritted her teeth breathing through the pain. Sophie? heard Tam again. Yeah? she said trying not to betray what was happening to her. Do you know what floor you're on? he asked Sophie remembering the number on the door. It was smudged but she could read the first number, 5, I'm on floor five. She said squeezing her eyes shut, Ok we're on our way. he said, Sophie opened her eyes, her legs were in so much pain she felt the warm blood trickling down them. He stepped away returning with bandages. He grinned evilly, pulling out a syringe, Sophie panicked. But she could do nothing, as he injected the sedative into her.
She woke up slowly feeling pain, when she tried to open her eyes, she felt excruciating pain and felt cloth over them. They did something to her eyes and then bandaged them. She tried to move her arms, feeling the rope still there. Sophie? Tam she realized, Tam. Sophie, you're alive! he said. Yeah. slap. She felt her head whack the wall.
"Stop it. Tell him you're fine and you don't need his help." a voice said.
Tam... she started, Yeah Sophie? he said. You need to stop....I-don't need your help. she said severing the connection. She heard another figure come in.
"Sophie. It's time we were married don't you think?" Ruy said. Sophie shook her head ignoring the pain.
She heard some person reciting the marriage rites, Ruy said I do. When it was Sophie's turn she stayed silent. Sophie? It's Tam I know you didn't mean what you said earlier, we're close to finding you. Just hang in there. Tam! there, making me marry him. I can't though. Please hurry. She said before severing the connection. She stayed silent ignoring them.
"Sophie says the words." Ruy prompted. She heard someone behind her.
"No. I can't" she said.
"Sedate her. I'll tell you when she says the words." Ruy said to the person who said the rites. She felt the needle and passed out.

Sophie woke up. she was alone, that was new. Tam? she thought, seeing if he was any closer. Sophie! good, we're outside the door, is anyone in there? he asked I don't know but I can find out really quick.
"Hello? I'm ready to complete my vows," she said.
"Ah, I knew you'd come around Sophie..." Ruy said, stroking her cheek. Tam, he's in here. Ruy. she said before moving her arms around, wait. They weren't tied anymore. She thought about moving her legs. But she remember that they were hurt. She felt around her feeling the bed. Wait, what! why was she in bed?
"Ruy?" she said
"hmm..." he answered twirling a strand of hair.
"Why are we in the same bed?" she asked.
"It's our marriage night what do you think," Ruy said. Sophie enraged, swung her hand towards where she assumed he was.
"I never said the words!" she yelled.
"That's okay I told the priest you did for you," he said. Sophie pulled the blankets around herself. "Don't worry you are in your pajamas now."
"Shut up," she said. Tam? Is he gone? No, but I need out, I'm going to try to knock him out, and then I'll tell you if you can come in. She sat up in bed. She listened intently ignoring the pain she felt. She grabbed onto Ruy's shirt and pulled him into a kiss. Pulling away she swung her head forward as hard as she could, Whack. She felt him slump unconscious. She dropped him onto the bed and ran her hands over the clothes assessing what she was dressed in. Shorts, and a tank top. Ok Tam it should be clear. she said. She heard the door, break open,
"Sophie!" two voices said, She felt the bed, shift and heard rope. "Got him tied," someone said. Another person scooped her up, she wrapped her arms around their neck, her head pounding. She felt warm as they leaped somewhere. They set her down, and she heard someone call someone.
"Elwin, we found her."
"Okay, I'll be right there." She felt hands touching her head.
"Sophie, why do you have a bandage around your eyes?" they said.
"They did something I don't know what but they did something to them." She said, "Ooh, my head" and passed out.
