After Ebony heard Pierre's car drive off from the house, she walked away from Phoenix, leaving him to be by himself for the day while she watches Tv. She sat on the recliner,turning the flat screen Tv on.

Phoenix let out a quiet sigh of relief, as he went to where he left his backpack by the couch, getting out one of his sketchbooks so he could try to draw like he usually does to help himself stay calm, and his old pair of ear buds, and his cellphone.

He sat on the floor by the living room table that is a bit away from where Ebony was sitting, putting his ear buds in as he started listening to the song called Diablo. He has always liked this song. As he is sketching, he started humming a bit to the music.

After he had listened to the song for a fifth time, as he had the song on loop, Ebony was getting annoyed by his humming. She got off of the recliner, walking over to him, and to get his attention, she yanked the ear buds out of his ears by the cord, before grabbing him by his arm, tightly like she did last night.

She started dragging him with her, forcing him to walk with her. She had an angry tone to her face this time "I can't believe he brought you here, you are so fucking annoying!" When he heard the tone in her voice, he flinched a bit, because he was used to being hurt when others were mad. He made sure he had his phone tightly in his hand, because if she hurt him, he planned on trying to get video or audio of it on his phone to show Pierre.

After five minutes she finally stopped walking, and Phoenix was confused. He could hear her rusting somewhere, as if she was looking for something, while she still had a tight grip on his arm. He asked in a shaky voice "W...where are w-. His eyes widened as his sentence was cut off by her tying a thick piece of clothe over his mouth, and behind his head like a gag. She let out a frustrated sigh "There, now I won't have to hear you for the rest of the day!"

She then took him to a small and dark closet, cornering him in there as she took a rope that she had also grabbed, roughly tying his hands together in front of himself, making it tight enough so he would not be able to get it loose even if he tried to. She also noticed his cell phone was in his pocket, and took it from him. "I don't need you bothering my husband while he is busy at work." She then pushed him against the wall in the back of the closet with a harsh shove, before leaving the closet, slamming the door shut before she locked it.

When she shoved him into the wall, he let out a muffled whimper, but because of how scared he was, he just slid his back down the wall, landing on his butt on the floor. There was a dull pain going through where his back had hit against the wall. He was trembling badly, and he flinched when he heard the door slam shut, and tensed up hearing the lock click.

Right after the lock clicked, he pulled his knees up to his chest, as his way of trying to hide in case she came back. This was reminding him of when Ryan had him locked up in the basement, and he was having flashbacks from when that happened. He was now very pale, and tears had started going down his face. He is scared that Ebony is going to treat him just like Ryan had.

After she locked the door, she went to the kitchen, starting to make herself a snack which was some popcorn and a lemonade, before she sat back down in the recliner, making sure that Phoenix's phone was turned off.

She let out a relaxed, and happy sounding sigh, as she put the foot part of the recliner up. She then put on a movie, forgetting all about Phoenix for now.
