  {Reader's POV}

            "GET...OFF...ME!" I screamed and thrashed violently as Jack pinned me to the floor of the hallway, struggling to break free as he straddled me. The chain was at its end, even if I were standing I wouldn't be able to move any further, which probably exactly what Jack had in mind when he'd chased me. Gripping my hands, he pinned them above my head harshly, slamming them against the floor.


            "Stop struggling," he hissed, allowing more of his weight to settle on my body, and held my wrists in place with one hand as he used the other to reach into his hoodie's pocket. Withdrawing a large roll of duct tape, he brought it to his mouth and used his teeth to tug at the end, a loud, sharp crack echoing through the cabin. Lifting my wrists above my head, he quickly wrapped the roll around them several times, his grip sliding further down my arms as he worked.


            Soon my wrists were encased in a thick layer of duct tape, rendering them totally immobile. The entire time he did it I struggled ferociously, and in return he allowed a little more of his weight to rest on me, but still little enough so as to avoid crushing me. Once he finished he released my arms and let them fall limply, getting off me. Immediately I rolled over and tried to scramble to my feet to run, only for the chain on my ankle to catch and make me fall again.


            Jack chuckled as he watched me, quickly pinning me so I laid on my stomach. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screeched, flailing to get up only for him to sit on me. Grunting under his weight, I turned my head to watch as he lifted my legs into the air. Of course I kicked and flailed them the whole time, which only made him growl in annoyance.


            "I said stop struggling!" He grabbed an ankle and squeezed so tight I thought I could feel the circulation cut off, making me gasp and go tense. He took advantage of my momentary shock to quickly bind my legs together, wrapping more layers of the silvery tape around my ankles just above the shackle. Tearing off the end, he dropped the roll and got off me once more, quickly rolling me onto my back and sitting me up.


            At this point I was shaking, with fear, terror, rage, despair, fury, indignity... Every negative emotion associated with shaking and trembling swirled inside me in a violent vortex of darkness. I struggled to pry my hands apart from their silvery bindings, but I couldn't, and Jack seemed indifferent to my efforts. Grabbing the roll, he tugged it one last time and began winding it around my torso just below the shoulders, binding my arms to my sides. With that he dropped it and smirked as he stared at me.


           Tears filled my vision as I glared at him, knowing I was completely helpless and vulnerable. Towering above me, he took a step forward and I scooted back, my back pressing against the wall. Jack bent down and slipped his arms between my knees and behind my back, carefully lifting me from the ground. I struggled as he carried me back to my room, unceremoniously dropping me onto the bed. The chain rattled as I landed, and as I shifted so I could look at him I couldn't help thinking he seemed taller than usual. Was it because I knew I was totally at his mercy? Blinking away tears, I glared at him as best as I could.



{Jack's POV}

            "What to do, what to do..."


            Jack paced around the bedroom thoughtfully, [Name] following his movements with her head as she glared at him. Not like there was anything else she could do, tied up like that. Her [e/c] eyes sparkled with rage and fury, but also a glimmer of fear and anxiety. She was completely at his mercy, and they both knew it. For the time being, that ability to savor it might be the only thing keeping Jack from killing her.
