Deep Breaths

Help

      My eyes opened and they were met with a light beaming straight into them. I squinted and blinked several times to adjust my vision to the blinding light. I went to put my hands up to cover my eyes, but realised that I couldn't move them. I lifted my head and found myself lying on a hard surface that stood as tall as a bed. I was still in my pyjamas, a light pink tank top and matching sweatpants. My ankles, wrists and torso were tied down with what seemed like belts used to tie up a psychotic patient at a mental asylum.
      Panic waves rushed through me as reality and memories of how I was picked up, hit me with a brick.

     I looked up and saw an old leaking pipe that went around the area of the walls. The grim grey paint on the walls were chipped and old and a hideous odour filled the entire room.
     I couldn't see much from where I was lying on but I saw two chairs at the foot and some cupboards and a window up high to my right. The window reflected nothing but darkness. I tilted my head back to find a rusty old door behind me and the whole room had one single light which was the one right on top of my head blinding my vision.
      I started breathing heavy and my heartbeat got faster and faster.
     How did this happen. I was happily walking around and working possibly not less than 24 hours ago, and now Ive been kidnapped and taken and tied by my limbs like an animal, in an old room that reeked of the smell of human faeces?!
      Tears started streaming down my face as I screamed cries of agony.
      "HELP!!!"
       "HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I sobbed between words, never having felt so helpless ever in my life than I had at that moment. I lay there crying and screaming my eyes out, unable to break free from the tightly fixed belts around my limbs and torso.
     What seemed like forever or so of screaming and crying for help and struggling to break free, I heard the door behind me open and I jumped in my bones. I tilted my head to see who it was.
      It was a man possibly in his early 30s entering the room dressed in a striped suit and tie, with his spectacles at the bridge of his long sharp nose. His hair was carefully combed and gelled back and his shoes made the sound of expensive clicks with every step.
      My eyes never left him and suddenly I had no air in my lungs. I was filled with rage and fear, my heart was pounding up and down in my chest.
     "Let me go!" I hissed.
     He said nothing.
     He never looked at my face, instead he was looking at my body as if examining it with x-ray vision eyes. His gaze traveled from my toes up to my neck and eventually to my face, and a scream left me as we made eye contact for the first time.
      "LET ME GO YOU FUCKING CREEP! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" I spat.
      Unfazed and unbothered, he slips his hand into his pocket and took a pair of gloves. He carefully slips them on and comes closer to me.
      I panic once more and started shaking like a fish that's been taken out of the water.
      "FUCKING DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH ME GET THE FUCK AWAY, NO NO NO!"
       He reaches to touch my exposed belly while I struggle and shake underneath. He placed his right hand firmly on my belly and slowly started moving it downwards. I wiggled underneath his touch screaming no at him, trying to break contact, but he was unbothered and continued his way down until he reached my pelvis.
      Suddenly, he put both his hands around my hips and held it firmly in his hands, while I kept screaming my ears off begging for him to stop. And just as quickly he had grabbed my hips, he let go of them and stepped back. He started removing his gloves and looked at me in the eye.
      He had evil eyes. Hazel evil eyes. That's how I'd describe them. I held his gaze trying to put my brave face on but failing miserably as tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
      "Rose, was it? I shall see you again tomorrow evening. Take care until then, alright dear?" He spoke in an intensely deep voice with his hands carefully resting behind his back.
      "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!" I screamed back at him.
       He gave a curt polite smile and started to walk away but stopped and turned around and said,
"Oh and by the way, Mei Yin sends her well wishes to you dear. She really does adore you." He smiled once again, and started towards the door.
      He knows Mei. Mei knows him.
      "NO NO COME BACK! PLEASE UNTIE ME! I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING, I'LL GIVE YOU MONEY JUST PLEASE LET ME GO!"
      My cries for release were met with nothing but the echo of the door slamming violently against its metal frame.
