Elemental

Chapter 4 - Where am I?

Silence.

My hands are cold and wet.

A stale smell lingers in the room.

I gain consciousness and move around, but immediately found difficulty from the restraints on my arms, legs and my mouth. I look around noticing I'm on a chair, my arms are tied up separately along with my legs. The floor in the room was wet, I must have been trying to get loose unconsciously. I look around seeing one camera staring at me. I think hard. What can I do? I would use fire but I'm on a wooden chair. Water wouldn't be much help, as well as earth. Wind might be helpful. I try to use small whips of wind across the rope around my wrists, I see the rope slowly tearing. I keep on using it until there was one strand left. I pulled my wrist away and start untying the other ropes, and lastly releasing the cloth around my mouth, forcing me to take in a deep breath of air. I look around the room and I hear someone playing with the door handle, attempting to unlock it. I run and stand next to the hinge of the door, waiting for the person to enter. The person enters the room and I gasp at the sight. I hit them in the head and they yelped in pain. I recognised the scream.

"Garret!" I scream while putting my arms around him.

"Tahlia! That hurt!" He screams back. I grab his hand and I start walking to the door, remembering my original plan of escaping.

"Come on, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" I say to him quietly, remembering the open door.

"No, I came in here to collect you."

"What?"

"Follow me, girl." He says, gesturing the direction he wants me to head. I follow him into a large room, there's a lot of couches with a massive TV, the walls are painted light grey giving the room a warm feel. We walk past another room where there were a fridge and sink, I'm assuming the kitchen. He leads me up to this door and he starts jumping with excitement.

"Oh my God, you're going to love this!" He said, while playfully punching my arm. He opens the door to reveal a corridor. We made our way through it and he started shaking his hands with excitement. We looked into this massive room and there is a group of people in there. The room was full of different things, used for training purposes. There was a group of four people in there, so far what I've seen, this house is very big for four people. They all turn around and look at me, nothing is heard. I've never felt so uncomfortable before in my life.
