Rhea's POV
I opened my eyes and looked around the small room. My wrists were handcuffed to the bed head, so i struggled to sit up.
The walls were painted black, with hand painted pink swirls and flowers on the wall behind me. There was a small cabinet to my right and a big wardrobe in front of me on the left of the wall, and just one door. No windows. No escape.
I heard voices and footsteps nearing closer and closer to the door. The door handle jiggled around a little, and 2 men walked in, one a little taller than the other. They looked surprised to see me awake i guess. Was i supposed to die or something?
The taller man slowly lifted his phone to his ear, keeping eye contact with me the whole time. "She's awake." He said shakily. "Okay, be there soon."
He nodded at the shorter man, and they both slowly walked towards me and began undoing the handcuffs. "Where am i?" I asked nervously. Neither of them responded. "Please, at least tell me why i'm here." Again neither of them said a word. They both took one each of my arms, and walked me out of the room, and then through a series of white hallways. I didn't remember my way back after the first 3 corridors.
Finally we approached a big black door. "Don't speak unless you're spoken too, stand straight and don't move." The taller man explained coldly. "Or he will kill you there and then." He added. I nodded and the doors opened revealing a huge room with maroon walls with black swirls like the other room painted on, just with no flowers. There was a small desk ahead of me, and a man in a black suit sat there, his eyes focused on his paperwork. He looked quite old, maybe 50 or 55. He had grey and black hair, and looked very cold, and serious. He motioned for my to come closer, without looking up from his desk. I stayed glued to my spot, until the taller man shoved me in the room and closed the doors behind me.
"Do you want to know why you're here Rhea?" The man said looking up at me for the first time since i saw him. "Y-Yes please." I said nervously. He motioned for me to sit down on one of the small black chairs in front of his desk.
He stared at me intensely, watching my every move.
"Well my dear, you have a very special gift that a lot of people have been trying to find for generations. And this gift allows you to do a lot of things that normal people cannot do. Do you understand?" I shook my head, playing with my purple hair. "I think you have the wrong- I don't- I've never done anything- i'm j-just a normal person." I stuttered, confused. "No, Rhea. You just haven't figured out how to use this power yet. Until then, you shall be staying with some of my men at their home."
"N-No please i-" I was cut off by a pair of strong arms pulling me backwards, and forcing their hand over my mouth to stop me speaking.
A gift? What gift? Is this a joke?
The man pulled me back through the long corridors and soon enough i could smell the fresh air. Freedom.
As soon as we got outside, i took my chance, and elbowed the man in his area... and started running down the road to- well i don't know yet. I ran as fast as i could, but the man was faster, and in a flash, my face was on the concrete floor, and my hands being handcuffed behind my back. The man lifted me over his shoulder, and carried me back towards a black van. I kicked and screamed but it was no use.
The man sat me down on the step of the van and started tying my feet together, and another man put a blindfold on me and tape over my mouth, and then shoved me into the back of the van. I gave up fighting, as i was just wasting my energy, and started drifting off to sleep.
This was going to be a long day.
