"We need to have a little chat," I said.

"Nope."

"We're locked in this room together. We may as well talk to each other," I said.

"I don't talk to kidnappers," Draculaura said.

"And yet to spoke to Caleb."

"He never kidnapped me. I spoke to him of my own free will," she said. "What you've done to me here was forced. You tackled me, you knocked me out, and you brought me here. I've been locked in this room for hours upon hours. I'm stuck. And all of this was against my will," she said as she waved a hand around the room. "With Caleb, it wasn't against anything. Was I beyond freaked out when I found out what he really was? Of course I was. But I had formed a relationship with him knowing that he was hiding something, knowing that he was dangerous. That was all me, all my own thought process. This is much, much different. And because of that, I don't want to have a little talk with you. I don't want to discuss anything with you. I don't want you to know anything about me, nothing more than what you've found in my wallet or online.

"I don't want to bond with you, dude. I don't want to sit here and share our deepest, darkest secrets. What I do want to do, however, is go home," she said.

"Where's home?" I asked, my voice quiet and genuinely curious.

She was silent for several minutes. I assumed that she wasn't going to answer me. Just as I moved to grab my phone, she spoke. "Caleb's house. That is home," she said softly.
