"Where am I? Who are you? What am I doing here? "Aisling questioned.
"Do not trouble yourself child, your safe with us! "
"Safe!? Us?! "
The green eyes just stared at her emotionless. Aisling tried to wriggle her way out of the metal shackles hoping that her capturer would empathise with her.
"Let me go! "Aisling shouted.
"What did you say? "
Aisling saw those green eyes boring holes through her heart. Was it wrong to have freedom?
"I..... I.. s..... said let m...... me go...... please? "
"Listen girl, you don't give me orders around here! I saved your petty life and it's about time you appreciated the undeserved kindness I offered to you! I get to order you around whenever I feel like, so you better watch your tongue or I'll get rid of you............. permanently! "
"Yes...... "
"Just sit tight and enjoy the ride. I will let you go as soon as............. I feel like! "
Aisling felt the little bit of hope that her capturer would be kind to her get snatched away in an instant. She thought that he only saved her in order to make her his personal slave for the rest of her life. Aisling wriggled her wrist to try and slip out of the shackles but had no avail.
She scanned the room for anything that could be used to pick the lock with. Her eyes landed on a paper clip laying on her bed. Aisling took it and after jumbling with it, the lock budged, she was free!
AISLING
I opened the cold metallic door as quietly as I could. It creaked open but that was close to quiet I could get. I took some time to familiarize with the surrounding environment. I had no idea where I was nor where I was going. I had to escape, so I chose to go left of the hallway.
The place looked like a military base judging from its metallic walls and air vents. My heart beat became louder and faster as soon as I stumbled across a large window. I knew where I was but I did not want to believe it. It wasn't even possible, surely I am going to be dead in the next hour, I wasn't meant for this place! What about my captor? What was he?
