When The Leaves Start To Fall

Chapter 3: The Mysterious Log Cabin

          I feel really really tired. I try to open my eyes, but I am too weak. I try to even yell for help, but even still I can't open my mouth. I feel like I'm in a car or vehicle or something. At this point I can start to feel myself drifting back to sleep. I can't even hardly think anymore. I try my very best and think of this one question, "Am I being kidnapped?"

          After a few some hours I suddenly try to open my eyes. I eventaly do, but my vison is blurry as if I have been drugged. As I start to gain my senses back I feel like I'm tied up. I glance down and I am. My stomach also growls angerly as I do. I must of not eaten in days. I finally notice my pounding head. I start to feel sick. After these few moments I glance around. There is a window, a rug, a lantern that is not lit, and an empty fireplace. All of this is in a log cabin I think. "I must be very far away since around our town there are no log cabins."

          I start looking at the window thinking of an escape plan when the door starts to creak open. I slump over quickly and act as if I just woke up. "Hello there pretty little girl, whats your name?" A man in his 30's asks me. I don't reply just in case if I could save myself.
         "ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW UNLESS IF YOU WANT TO BE DEAD!!!" he replys to my silence. I try my best not to flinch back. "Lilly," I say very sternly. I don't want him to know I am afraid right now. I still might have a possibility of escaping.
         "Why am I here right now, why me?" I ask because I really want to know especially if I die today.
         "Because we need you for some things. From the start when I first started investigating you I could sense you had special pow- nevermind you don't need to know that. We are going to experiment with you along with all the other people we have, but by far you are the most power- again you dont need to know that."
         "Hmm I wonder what he means by powers," I think to myself.
          Since I can be socialy awkward sometimes and never actally been kidnaped I just reply, "Ummm ok sure thanks."
         "There are other people here did you catch that, can you hear them?" he said I think just to annoy me.
         "Why can't I hear them?" I ask.
         "Because sound proof rooms, duh."
He gives me a shot which I have no idea what is in it. I am so terrified of them. I wanted to scream the loudest scream in my life, but all I allowed myself was a small tear running down my cheek.
         "Well bye for now I have business to do. Bye bye," he waves creepily.
         "Errr bye," I say gladly wanting him to leave. I need to start thinking of a plan. Did he say that the rooms were sound proof? I think so. I should say something just to make sure.

         After a few minutes of yelling for making up the time I got that shot of I assume a drug, nobody even showed up to tell me to shut up. "Ok instead of wasting my time and trying to see if someone comes, I need to try to escape before someone comes. First I need to get out of this chair though..." I whisper quietly to myself. I look down at the chair. It is a medium wood chair what appears to be cedar from what I see from a label that has not been removed. It is a bit worn down from ropes and maybe from other people, I try not to think about that though. It is very wobbly and seems very breakable.

        Next I look at the ropes. They are very very tight. I can tell they are very strong from trying to losen them. My feet are tied and my hands are tied behind the back of the chair. I am going to have to find another way. I start looking at the window just hoping that I can escape when an idea pops into my head. To get out of the ropes I need to get out of the chair. I can see the ropes are attached to the chair though, but what if I can break the chair? It is almost broken for me anyways. I think I heard once that cedar isn't very strong. I am pretty sure if I lean back in the chair it will fall and break. I really hope I don't get too hurt and start to second guess myself. I decide that would I rather be, I don't even know what "they" would do to me. I go with falling back in the chair and maybe hurting myself. Here goes nothing I guess.

        I fall down with a huge crashing sound. I feel a sharp pain everywhere I fell. I am now gasping for breath since I winded myself. I don't think I broke any bones even though I feel really sore. I remeber falling backwards in a chair once whenever I was three. Hey at least it was worth it, I am loose from the ropes. I roll over onto my stomach. Since I am flexible and I have mastered this I bring my locked hands that are together over my head. I can see that the ropes are tied in a few simple knots. I guess they thought nobody would think of escaping or maybe it would of been because of the drug. I can see that my vision is starting to get blurry. I need to hurry...

        I quickly untie the knots in the rope around my hands. I finally get them off of my hands. I can see there are now bruises and cuts around my wrists. I  also untie the ropes around my feet. I stagger towards the fireplace to grab a metal rod that I assume that pushes the wood in the fire for a potential weapon. I can feel myself starting to get weary. "No no no no no no no... not now..." I say to myself. I start to stumble towards the window. I open the window and slip out as I see the guards with guns.
