Fulcrum

Chapter 18: planning...

Thalia watched Thrawn 'a every move. She of course didn't trust the man and they way he acted so calm as if he didn't kidnap her pissed her off to no end. He talking with her as if they were friends and even if she didn't answer he continued to do so

"Do you ever shut up" she snapped once he asked what she wanted for dinner

"You manners are need some work but we have time for that" Thrawn barely glanced her ways as he picked out some clothes to change into

"I'm sorry if I have no manner for my kidnapper " she snapped throwing a pillow at the man. He barely flinched when it hit his back. He continued grabbing clothes

"Would you rather a random chiss have found you"

She paused at that question. She would rather no chiss have found her but she knew this has got to be the worse situation that she was in"considering I know how to fight yeah, you got luck considering you have an army behind you"

"You really believe you can beat me in a fight" for the first time since he has entered the room he turned to face her

"Take these cuffs off and let's find out" she glared at him and it only seemed to amuse him

"I don't doubt your fighting abilities for a moment which is why they stay on. I'll rather play this out the easy way not that hard way"

Thalia rolled her eyes and sat down on the floor. She refused to sleep in the same bed as the man. It was to much vulnerability being beside him and she wouldn't give him the satisfaction. There was no trust between the two and she will be damned if she let her guard down that much around him.

"Corward" she sneered at him

"You may think that but honestly i could care less. You will be my wife sometime and it won't be by force. You will want to be with me by the time this is all over" he held a knowing glint as if he knew something she didn't and she hated it.

Scoffing at his words she gave him a disgusted look"I'll never submit to you willingly "

"So be it" Thrawn walked into the bathroom to take a shower. The second the door closed Thalia was on her feet looking for anything sharp to pick the locks in her feet. They had to get first and then she will figure something else out for the locks stopping her from using the force.

Five minutes later and she was only found a hair pin. Taking it she hid it in her pocket. It would have to do for now. She had to wait for a good time to escape or at least attempt too. Preferably when he was out and about. She heard the shower turn off and quickly sat back down in her corner.

Everything looked the same from when he went to take a shower. When he came out he looked around before his eyes settled on her."I'll be sleeping in another room. I know you won't sleep with me and I won't have my future wife sleeping on the floor. Take a shower ,I'll see you in the morning "

Frowning Thalia watched the man leave. She was glad he was gone but did he really have to tell her what to do. She wanted to go against him just because but she knew she wan in need of a shower. Sucking it up she took a quick shower and threw on a nightgown. Laying down all she could think about was escaping and returning to the rebels. She even wondered if they were looking for her. Then again she was a pain but a girl could dream. Sighing she closed her eyes needing to be well rested if she had to deal with Thrawn another day

Vote and comment. What should happen next. Will she escape?
