Perfect

A cold hand

A felt a cold hand being placed on my shoulder. I don't know what to do, the hand could belong to as murderer, a thief or mum. I decided to pretend that I am still asleep. I breathe heavily and I don't respond to the cold seeping through my shoulder. I here some muffled voices, they sound like men. My heart begins to pound faster, but I have to stay cool. I manage to make out '....talk......mum........trouble.......punishment....' I had no idea what that could mean. I don't recognise the voice.

'Wakey, wakey rise and shine Rosa!' a sarcastic man sings 'Breakfast is ready!' he chanted, I knew he was lying because it was only 2 o clock in the morning. 'Wake up you stupid girl before I.....' the man got angrier and more annoyed, I thought it was best if I woke up. I pretended to rub my eyes and I gazed around my room. It was filled with around 6 men, I recognised one. Robert.

I think back to the words that I managed to make out '....talk......mum........trouble.......punishment....' then it hits me, Robert heard me and mum whispering. He knew that I knew about him being the drug dealer. I was in for it now. 'Hello Rosa, have a nice sleep?' a strange man with many tattoos asked me, I didn't want to reply, but if I didn't he would probably beat me up. 'I'm fine....thanks...' I yawn. 'Get her boys....' Robert commanded his gang. Then suddenly they all began to charge at me, I was about to scream, but someone tied a scarf around my mouth. I only let out a muffled yelp. My heart was thumping and I couldn't think straight, everything hurt. Especially my stomach.

I tried to jump out of bed and make a run for it, but a man grabbed my leg. I ended up slamming my head on the carpet. I saw a trickle of blood run down the side of my face and onto the floor. I prayed that mum would hear the commotion and come to my rescue. I was lifted up by the biggest man and another man tied me up with thick rope, all the time I was kicking, so I made his job a whole lot harder. As all of this was going on, I thought about my week so far. It was Saturday and it was already the worst, scariest and confusing week of my life. How am I ever going to live a normal life when all of this stuff has happened to me? 

I must of been knocked out because the next thing I knew I was in a dark, smelly, damp, small room. My body ached and it felt like a thousand needles were jabbing into my skin. I was still tied up and gagged, I wonder where Robert and his gang had taken me.....Was I alone? Were they still here, watching my every move? I look on the ground to find a knife, a gun and a vile, of what I can only think to be poison of some sort. I begin to get scared, had they drugged me? Where the going to kill me? Were they going to hurt everyone I loved and cared about? The worst thing they could do is hurt my friends and family. I would rather die than see them get hurt.

Just then the door creaks open, it is a rusty, big metal door with a number of locks and padlocks. I can't make out who it is, but I can tell that the figure is a man. 'I see you have woken up Rosa. I have brought you here to make a deal with you. I know what you said to your mum Rosa......' It was Robert, he was going to make me an offer, I just knew that every option someone would be hurt. 'You can either never tell anyone about me and what I do, including the police. If so I will let you go, but if I find out that you have told someone, and I know a lot of people. You will be kidnapped again, and I will kill you right here.' he smirked, I knew he had the upper hand, and so did he. 'If you don't like that offer......Here's another. I will take you away from this nasty place and I shall give you a beautiful bedroom, all to yourself. And anyone that has ever harmed or hurt you.....Well, let's just say that they will be silenced, ok? But in return I will test my drugs on you, to see whether they are, effective or not...' he snarled and grinned at the same time. I knew I was never going to get out of this one.

'Another deal is that I will release you from this place, and I will take you back home. You will never tell anyone about me and what I do. Over wise everyone you love and care about will suffer in some way or another.....Including your mum.' I knew that as soon as he said that offer that I was never going to let my friends and family suffer. 'The last offer.....you will stay in this place, no one will get harmed at all, no one will ever visit you, and as I kind gesture I will leave these weapons by your side. In case life gets a bit much, if you know what I mean....' I knew what he meant, the cold hearted criminal wanted me to stay here an kill myself.

'You can either never tell anyone about me and what I do, including the police. If so I will let you go, but if I find out that you have told someone, and I know a lot of people. You will be kidnapped again, and I will kill you right here.'    'If you don't like that offer......Here's another. I will take you away from this nasty place and I shall give you a beautiful bedroom, all to yourself. And anyone that has ever harmed or hurt you.....Well, let's just say that they will be silenced, ok? But in return I will test my drugs on you, to see whether they are, effective or not...'      'Another deal is that I will release you from this place, and I will take you back home. You will never tell anyone about me and what I do. Over wise everyone you love and care about will suffer in some way or another.....Including your mum.'    'The last offer.....you will stay in this place, no one will get harmed at all, no one will ever visit you, and as I kind gesture I will leave these weapons by your side. In case life gets a bit much, if you know what I mean....' All the deals rang through my head 'You have one hour...' Robert taunted as he shut the door. I desperately looked around the room, there was no-one here. There was no way out. I didn't want to. I really didn't want to. But I had to choose one of Robert's deals. But which one?
