The Frozen Hero

Chapter 10

When Jamie awoke she felt eyes on her.

“Miss me?”

“Not in this life time.” Jamie replied. “You know, Steve’s going to find me, right? And when he does, he’s going to hurt you, bad.” Jamie said masking fear in her voice. ‘Steve’s looking for me now, right?’ Jamie thought waiting for a reply from Luke.

Luke chuckled. “And what if I killed him last night? Then, there’s no one to save you.”

“You didn’t.”

“You’re right, I didn’t. But nothing’s stopping me.” Luke said walking towards Jamie. He kneeled down so he was looking her in the eyes. Jamie spit in Luke’s eyes.

“Stupid bitch!” Luke said slapping Jamie across the face. Jamie held in a scream. ‘This is not the time to show weakness.’ Jamie thought to herself. Luke grabbed Jamie’s face. “I want you to scream for me.” Jamie stayed silent, as Luke grabbed a knife from his back pocket. He gave Jamie a twisted smile before stabbing Jamie in the shoulder. Jamie bit her tongue to stop from screaming. She was not going to give Luke what he wanted.

Jamie could tell Luke, was getting frustrated. The knife was still in her shoulder, and Luke twisted the knife after plunging it deeper. This time Jamie let out a small yelp.

“Good enough, for now.” Luke said. Jamie looked at the blood that was coming out of her shoulder. She shot Luke a glare.

“Sweetie, that’s not going to help you get out of this situation, oh I forgot to tell you yesterday, Steve called. Luke said before leaving. Once he did Jamie looked around the room. There was no way of escaping except through the door. Jamie looked at the wooden chair and noticed how old it looked.

That’s when she got the idea of tipping the chair backwards. Jamie took a deep breath, and counted to three before falling backwards. Once she did the chair broke. Jamie felt a pain shoot through her back, and yelped quietly. She got up, and untied the rope around her arms, and legs. She ran over to the door, only to find it was locked. There was no use of breaking the door down, because Jamie wasn’t strong enough.  Jamie walked over to the corner of the room, and sat down to think of an escape plan. She was in thought when she realized she was sitting on something. Her phone.

‘God, Luke’s an idiot.’ Jamie thought picking it up. She looked at it and realized it indeed did have one missed call from Steve and Three from Ann. Jamie unlocked her phone and called Steve hoping, praying he would answer.

Steve woke up in his living room. Clint and Natasha were in his room. He heard his phone ring.

“Hello.” Steve said, not looking at the caller I.D.

“Steve.” Jamie said in a panicked whisper.

“Jamie, Where are you?” Steve asked more alert as Clint and Natasha walked out of the room.

“Jamie?” Clint mouthed to Steve. Steve nodded.

“I-I don’t know. I’m with Luke, and he wants to kill me.” Jamie said still panicking.

“Okay, calm down. We’ll find you and get you out. Okay? You’re going to be okay, I promise.”

“Okay.” Jamie said calming down slightly.

“Do you trust me on this? Steve asked.

“Yes.” Jamie replied.

“Alright, I’m going to give you to Clint and Natasha for a moment, okay.” Steve said handing the phone to Clint.
