Hostage

Don't tell!

I wake up to the nice smell of pancakes and bacon. The aroma makes my mouth water and I ignore the pain in my head. I roll out of bed and change into some worn out jeans.I pull my drapes open to see that the sun is not out. I glance at my clock to see its only 3 am. I let out a sigh. Then how come I smell breakfast? My mom gets up early but never this early. I grab my bat just in case its an intruder.
I slowly amble down the stairs, bat ready in hand. The kitchen light is on. I run into the room screaming and swinging like a mad woman.

"Woah!"

I look up to see a woman only a few years older than me.

"Who are you?"

"My name is not important. I am here to chat with you"

I tighten my grip on my bat.

"About?"

"A offer."

"How did you get in?"

"I work with the government." She pulls out a badge giving her proof of who she is with. I loosen my grip on the bat. She takes that as a signal to go and get a cup of coffee for me.

"Please, have a seat Miss.Jackson."

I hesitate at first but I comply and sit on a high stool by the table. She joins me and gets on the stool across from me on the other side of the table. She clears her throat and hands me the mug. I

I take it reluncantly and drink a small amount.

"Creamer?"

I shake my head no.

"For someone who wants to offer me something why are you here so early and why ask out of the blue. No notification whatsoever?"

She only smiles at my question as if I am only a child asking about drugs.She sighs before speaking.

"Protocol and regulations prevent us from doing so."

"And why so early?"

"We believe that being early will make this more dramatic."

"So what's this offer you speak of?"

" I have an assignment for you. Come on. I'll drive you there."

"There?"

She smiles and nods."pancakes and bacon?" She offers. I shake my head no. "It's a place where I work"

I sigh and follow her out the door and into her car. I sit in the backseat because I don't really trust this lady.

I feel so tired. That's understandable since it is only 3 in the morning. I don't want to though. But for some reason I find it hard to keep my eyes open. Soon I find myself drifting off to sleep.

***********************

I awake and every part of my body hurts. My back hurts the most out of all. I shoot my eyes open when I hear a loud 'thump!' The floor is cold and damp and rough. I try to sit up but my body is in too much agony. I look around to see only darkness around me. Where am I?

Fear starts to roam in my body as I search for some kind of light. Am I blind? Am I dead?

*Awwwwwww!!!" I yell at the top of my lungs. When I finish yelling I yell some more. Finally a bright round light is shun upon my face and the environment. I glance around quickly to see that I am in a cell. My wrists and ankles are bound by handcuffs. I force myself to sit up and stare right at the light.

The light is bright and may be the one thing keeping myself from going in same. The gate slides open and someone walks towards me. They hover over me and stare at my weak figure.

"Sir" one voice says.

The figure before me kneels down on one knee and touches my head. The hand tucks in a stray hair behind my ear.

"You've been crying. Why?" A voice booms. The second I hear it I realize that the person is a man and also that the man is right before me. He wipes the tears from my cheeks. His fingers warm against my skin.

I didn't even know I was crying. " I thought I was blind." I whisper. The man picks me up and cradles me in his arms. He carries me out of the cell and through the halls.

In that moment I feel safe. I feel like this random guy can protect me from anything. But that feeling was over the minute he sets me on a bed and leaves. The bed is warm and comfortable like my own. I curl up in a ball and try to summon sleep. Knowing all of this is just a dream. One of which I shouldn't tell. I will wake up tommorw and everything will be ok. When I wake up I will not tell anyone of this horrible dream and no one will ask. All I want right now is sleep to sooth my tired body. I then close my eyes no longer able to keep them open.
