Käti's P.O.V.
I was dreaming of being a ball with my parents...and then about being a princess in Greece...and then suddenly about kissing James...and then kissing Drew. And then kissing some other random guy. I was getting frustrated with myself when I woke with a start.
My heart was pounding and I was confused...If I was dreaming about three different guys...what does that mean? Am I one of those girls that won't be able to make up my mind? Shit....I was going to be one of those girls.
Ugh! It's not like I asked for this! I sighed and moved my arm to get my hair out of my face. With alarm I realized I couldn't!
I opened my eyes wide and looked around. It was dark and cold. My arms were tied to a pole behind me and there was a constant dripping sound coming from a corner. I realized then how much pain I was in. My head and arms hurt and so did whole right side.
I frowned, trying to rememer what had happened. ....I was running...from Drew and James...that guy! He hit me...I frantically started working on the ropes that were tying my arms when I heard footsteps coming towards me.
Should I pretend to still be asleep?? No...I had questions. This guy was going to get an earful!
I suddenly realized that I was gagged too....well so much for that plan I thought grumpily as a light was turned on to reveal a tall, handsome, muscular man....only a few years older than me. He smiled and I did my best glare.
He just chuckled. "I see your awake and happy!" He didn't even attempt to hide his Russian accent.
I glared again and started yelling at him...even though he couldn't understand a word I was saying through this gag I was sure my feelings of being tied up were still getting through.
He chuckled again and held his hands up. "I'd be happy to untie you and tend to those wounds...but you have to promise me not to do anything rash!"
I frowned and said something back. The man shook his head and walked over to me and took off the gag. "What was that?" He asked.
"I said...Do you expect me to just stay here and not try to run away?" I looked at him like he was crazy.
The man laughed. If I was being honest...then it was nice laugh. But right now I was too pissed off to think honestly. So...it was a freaking annoying laugh and all I wanted to do was hit him in the face!
"No...I don't. But that'd be nice. Anyhow...it doesn't really matter. Because we are in the middle of nowhere...and you've got nowhere to go."
My eyes widened. "Where are we?"
He shook his head with a smirk. "I'm Carter...Look...I'll untie you. And you can run and try to find a way out...Don't try to attack me though. You'll regret it."
This is the wierdest kidnapper ever....I sized him up and decided that my best shot was too run. As soon as I felt the ropes loosen I jumped up and ran.
I can't remember how long I ran...but it was a while. I found that I was in the basement of a huge, elaborate mansion. And when I looked outside...I saw that we really were in the middle of nowhere. Outside there was miles and miles of forest...no houses to be seen.
The rooms in this house were huge! And the stairs...we crazy long...I stopped running finally. Out of breath. I decided to go find this guy, Carter...I grabbed a knife out of the kitchen. I wasn't sure what I planned to do with it...but I wasn't going to find him unprotected.
As I turned the corner of a long hallway I ran into Carter's chest and my trained reflexes brought the knife up to his neck. Before I knew it, he had me against the wall wih my hand pinned above me. We paused a moment...and I brought my other hand up and hit him in the gut as I tried to twist out of his grip.
