Deal With It.

Chapter Thirteen "So.. Here we are again Lara."

Lara's POV

I wake up finding myself chained up and hanging two feet above the ground. Rope was tight against my ankles and so was the chains on my wrists. The last thing I remember was men beating me up in the alley and I knocked out once I couldn't take it any longer.

"Oh good you're up." I blink a few times to adjust to my surroundings and found myself in some type of an abandoned warehouse. I look at the image that was coming closer to me and found out that it was a woman with brown curly hair down to her shoulders. Is that?

"Wh-hoo are you?" 

My throat felt dry meaning that I've been here for a few days now without any food or water and my arms were feeling weak as I continued to hang from the ceiling.

"Finally. You're awake." A man in his late thirties gets up from a wooden chair that he was sitting on. I'm guessing he's a guard that's suppose to look after me. I keep quiet and watch him walk towards me. "I'm going to let you down. So bend your knees."

I do as he says and he lets me down. I was told it's better to keep quiet and to do as they say but with precaution. He lifts me up and takes out a pocket knife to cut the ropes off my feet so that I can walk towards the area he wants to drag me to. As he was doing that I was looking for the woman who was there too but there was no sight of her.

Looking around, I observed my surroundings and saw that I was in an abandoned warehouse near a city. There was barely any windows but the wall wasn't really thick enough for the sound to dissolve from.

He leads me into a room and drops me on the mattress that was on the floor covered with blue sheets and a simple pillow. I felt relieved to finally lay down and rest. I look around me and saw that the concrete floor was a bit cracked. The walls in this room were actually soundproof so there wasn't a chance for me to be heard if I shouted for help.

I lay back down and closed my eyes that felt as only a few minutes but all of the sudden I was awaken by a banging sound coming from the door. "Foods here."

A covered tray was slid under the door where there was a slot that it was able to come through. I had the strength to crawl my way there and remove the cover to find a mash potato on the right side with a orange juice and some milk on the left. The main meal was a few strips of chicken with steamed broccoli on the side.

I ate with the spork that they gave me and finished with nothing else on the platter but the empty cartons of milk and orange juice.

I look around the room and saw a camera on the right corner where the door was. At the opposite angle there was a door that lead to the bathroom with a simple sink, toilet and a shower. I decided to rinse my face with some water and noticed that there wasn't a camera in the bathroom.

Out of boredom, I decided to do a simple work out with some pushups and situps.

However, all of the sudden there was a hard knock on the door. "What are you doing in there?" Before I opened the door, I started an act that would hopefully save my life. I started to cry and open the door to give an excuse for him to leave me alone.

He drags me out of the bathroom causing me to fall on to the mattress. "You shouldn't stay in there for too long missy. You'll turn into a prune." I hide my face behind my knees as I kept them close to me. I could feel his presence in front of me.

"Don't come any closer." I say as I was in the same position still. "Yeah? What are you going to do about it?" He pushes me towards the corner of the wall underneath the camera.

I let out a smirk that was unseeable and started with a punch to his gut. I roll back using my heels to kick him in the chin causing him to fly back and hit the concrete ground. I run towards him making sure he was out.
