Chapter 02: Trapped Nightmare

[⚠️ Drug Mention | Book pov]

    I woke up confused. A few lights above my head and a few people talking in the background. I listened to their conversation. "I just wanna know if she's okay, please!" One of them cried. "Unfortunately, we cannot give those answers right now." Another replied. I got up to see who it was... or not. I was trapped. All of my limbs were tied down. All of it but my head. My breathing started becoming faster and heavier. My heart rate was starting to rise slightly. My body was trembling. Tears were forming from my eyes. Sweat dripped down my back and not even my teammates tried to save me. I don't even know where I am and they probably don't either. The panic overwhelmed me so much that I started to sob. Balling up my fists and hitting them against the board I was attached to. Kicking my legs slightly hoping that it would rip the bands off of them. Anything to get out of this prison. I tried not to scream but one ended up slipping out eventually.

Someone must've heard me because I heard footsteps walk towards me. There was a face! Yet I can't seem to recognize it. In Fact I don't recognize it as a human face. It was staring at me... It was creepy. Hot tears streamed down my face. The figure walked closer with a syringe in hand. Drug me then kill me? Sounds 'fun'. The needle stabbing my neck hurt. "Just shut up and go to sleep." It shouted but not actually. Another one started walking up to us "Calm down %$#*-" I couldn't hear anything of what they were saying after that. The one I heard from earlier left or they forced them out probably. Those two seemed to be arguing over me. My vision started blurring. What are they trying to do to me? This isn't real, I just know it! Maybe if I blink a few times I'll know if it's real or not.

One. They weren't focused on me anymore.

Two. They started heading for the door.

Three. The door shut, leaving me some time to figure out how to escape. I started moving my arms in any direction or at least trying to. My arms started getting tired so I did the same thing but with my legs instead. One of my legs slipped out easily realising that I could have just done that with my other limbs. I closed both of my hands and carefully slipped my arms free from the bands that contained them before. Those...things seemed really dumb. I'd point my toes on both feet. Wait one foot? Whatever, at least I managed to escape. Now to open the door. It was locked. I tried to look around to see if there was something to open it. I then noticed a little bobby pin on the floor. I picked it up and tried using it on the door. It took a few tries but it eventually opened.

I exited the room and entered another. It looked like someone's lab. I explored it and found a few things. A scalpel, a crowbar, and a slightly cracked mirror for self defence. Not the mirror though. If this was some type of dream I should at least know what I look like before I wake up. Nothing really changed in my appearance except that my hair was long enough to actually tie it. I guess the mirror will be for self defence too. Making sure that no one was around I'd quickly try to find the main exit door.

There it was. I found it! Finally! The door was right there and all I had to do was run out of it and this nightmare would finally be over. I ran out the door and didn't stop. Crying, shrieking, panicking. The only thing that could stop me was the hotel door. It was closed, shut. Clearly not locked but I couldn't open it. I slid to the ground. Shaking and crying. A figure walked towards me with a weapon in their hands. It looked familiar. Is that-

I woke up. It was just a dream. Pillow was still next to me attempting to read the book that probably gave me that nightmare. If she's still reading then it's probably not that late. I looked over at the window and saw that the sun was almost up. "Oh! Morning Book!" She said before immediately going back to reading. I hesitated before slowly hugging her. I felt tearful and started crying on her soft silk body. She looked down at me in ruth. She'd put her arm around me and rubbed my back slowly. I saw the book in her other hand. She was luckily only on the first death.
