My head is pounding.
My body is in pain.
My vision is whirling as I struggle to wake up. The room is dark, and when I glance down, my legs and arms are covered with blood and scars. I was in pain. A gleaming pool of new blood lay on the floor. My hands and ankles looked to be tied to a chair.
Yes. I struggle, attempting but failing to release the metal cuffs. My breathing grew laboured as I began to panic. "Help!" I yelled, but no one answered. I observed what looked to be a syringe on the floor as my vision began to clear.
'I'm guessing that's how they drugged me...' I pondered.
//FLASHBACK//
"Are you sure about this, Jasmine?" Sarah inquires.
"What could go wrong? It's only a harmless deep web search, and who knows what we'll find? It's something my friend does all the time!" I exclaimed, giggling.
"You realise that's a little... risky. Who knows what will happen?"
"Get apprehended by the cops? Pfft." I laughed.
"There have been reports of people being kidnapped after searching the deep web and visiting weird websites. I don't want anything bad to happen to you!" Sarah almost bursts out crying.
"You're so dull. If you don't want to look, leave." I muttered as I turned on my computer and searched the deep web. I mean, it's hard to blame her. Some of the images and web pages were, shall we say, distressing. But I didn't mind. I then went to the following website:
"Welcome to my red room?" I muttered something. What was it? I pressed the button. There is no information.
'Of course...' I reasoned.
A few minutes later, I received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello?" I ask.
"We know exactly where you are... We're keeping an eye on you..." A scratchy and malevolent voice was speaking to me.
"I'm sorry, who is this?"
". . . Hold on sweetheart. . ." I heard a conversation in the background. "Yeah. . . Yeah. . . Uh, wait, do that later . . . r-i-g-h-t. Fine, fine. Cool. Sorry dear, what was that?
"Who are you?"
"Your time is nearly up."
"What?.... Hello?. . Hello?" The call was cut short from the other line.
The next day, I was walking to the store to get a snack when a car pulled up alongside me. Someone shoved me to the concrete, and the next thing I knew, I was unconscious on the floor.
//END OF FLASHBACK//
I gulp for breath. My hands began to perspire. This must be the webpage I went to. This has to be..."Welcome to my red room? What?" I looked around frantically. You didn't have to be a moron to realise - People have been murdered in this location for viewing pleasure. After that, I heard footsteps, the door's bolt being unlocked and the door open ajar. Two figures wearing masks entered the room; one carried a jagged knife, the other a syringe with a little vile.
"Greetings, love, and welcome to my red room." My neck was pierced by something.
Then it all went black.
