India White

Chapter 22

So, my options were drowning in a never ending pool, or being a human slave. I should have picked drowning.

I glared at him. This guy who really thought that he could just... own me!?

"So." I said, still glaring at him. "What are you going to make me do first?" He looked at me like I was a little toy he was planning to break.

"Well. First of all," he got off his bed and started to move toward me. I tried to take a step backwards to move away from him, but there was a wall behind me. I was trapped.

He grabbed onto my wrists and threw me onto the bed. "First of all, I want you to kiss me."

I looked at him like he was a sicko maniac and without hesitation, back hand slapped him. Then I got off his bed and ran.

I quickly found the exit to his room and ran out. I could see him rushing to get off the bed and chase after me, but I had hit him so hard that he rebounded, plus I had a head start.

I ran as far and as fast as I could. I hoped Jaspen was alright.

I ran down the quorider the guy's room was on, but it never seemed to end! Finally, it came to an ubrupt stop and a turn to the right. Then another never ending hallway.

It seemed useless doing this. Eventually, one hallway or another would come to a dead end. Then he would catch me.

I was running out of breath, and he was right behind me. Think, India. Think!

I went with my gut. I grabbed the closest door, ran inside, and slammed the door behind me. I didn't even care if anyone was inside the room with me.

As soon as I shut the door, a breath of relief came over me and I slid down the door on my back. I sat there for a long time, just catching my breath. Finally, I decided to get up and look around the room.

I quickly realized it was a guy's room, and it looked strangely familiar. I took a corner to another part of the room, starred around, and froze. I was in Jaspen's room. Right next to the place where he had stabbed me.
