Sehkmetians

Chapter 4

I awoke in what looked like a medieval Queen's bed chambers. For some reason I felt dizzy and the room felt like it was spinning, so I glanced down at the bed I was sprawled out on. At that moment, I hadn't realized what I was wearing but suddenly I was all to aware of the lack of clothes. My bra and underwear were still on but that was it. My ankle was a little swollen, black and blue but that was about all the injuries I could see. It looked like it was broken but I tried not to think about it.

Glancing around, I realized the walls were made of solid concrete. The bed was a four poster king size with Egyptian cotton sheets. The room was luxurious but it was still a holding cell to me. The door across the room from the bed looked to be made out of solid gold.

Slowly, I got my legs to dangle off the bed and slipped down to the floor while trying to lean on my good foot. I limped over to the mahogany dresser near the door. Inside were tons of dresses of all different kinds of colors and material. I found a green knee length simple dress that I put on. Surprisingly, it fit perfectly to my body. The size fitting made my imprisonment a lot more creepy. I figured someone probably wanted to drain all my blood but now it looked like I was going to be kept alive for a while.

I reached full blown breakdown and collapsed to the floor. The only sound in the room was my heavy breathing and the loud thumping coming from my chest. There weren't any windows to go out of and I still felt dizzy. Looking down, I noticed in the crook of my arm was a smear of dried blood. I'm pretty certain I was drugged and that's why my mind was so foggy.

My body needed blood, my limbs felt heavy and I could feel bile coming up my throat. Leaning over to my right, I curled up into a ball. No sound reached my ears from the walls nor the door, so I laid in absolute silence. I sat up suddenly, I could've sworn I heard someone say my name.

Out loud, I asked, "Hello?" In my mind, I began talking to myself, "See your just losing your mind. There's no one there. Your all alone." The tears began to pour out of my eyes and I couldn't stop it. I didn't know how long I was asleep for or if anyone was looking for me.

"Theodosia! Knock it off and listen to me!" The sudden yelling had me pressing against the wall behind me and searching the room.

"I'm talking to you telepathically," he said as if to answer a question, "It's Jacob, by the way. Now tell me where you are."

I couldn't form sentences so I began to send images of the room I was in. For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that we were talking through a mind link that I hadn't realized was there before. All I could muster was 'please' before the tears began pouring from my eyes again.

"I'm going to find you. Just hold on until I get there. I promise I won't let anything happen to you."

The door creaked open and I knew that Jacob could feel how afraid I was. A man in his late twenties walked into the room with his jet black hair. He wore all black and his eyes were so black that it appeared he had no pupil. His eyes snapped in my direction immediately and a cruel smile crept on to his face as his footsteps echoed across the cold concrete floor.

My eyes shut on their own accord as I wrapped my arms around my legs. Suddenly the footsteps stopped to my left and I slowly opened my eyes. A few inches away from my face were his deep black ones sending out malice towards me. My eyes felt puffy from crying and my stomach felt empty. As if to prove it my stomach growled rather loudly.

He laughed so grandly that he threw his head back, "Are you hungry, my dear?"

My eyes shifted away from his beautiful but evil face and focused on the wall as if I was examining a great art piece. I wouldn't satisfy him with an answer.
