Dogwoods and Cherry Blossoms

Compromise

I woke up a few hours later. I went to rub my eyes, but I couldn't move my hands. I looked over to find that my arms were tied to the bed frame. I tried to scream for help, but there was tape on my mouth. A single tear started to fall from my eye. I felt a finger wipe my tear. I opened my eyes to see a man standing beside me. He licked his finger.

"Mmm, fear, that's what I like to taste", he said in a deep husky voice.

I felt a shiver go down my spine. My whole body shaking in fear. I began to cry.

"Hey, don't cry. You'll be okay. Everything's going to be just fine..." he let out a slight chuckle and then continued, "...as long as you cooperate."

A devious smile came over his face. I tried to move my arms and legs to try and loosen the ropes grip it had on me, but it was no use. They were just too tight.

"Hey!" Another man shouted, from the back of the room. I looked over to see a man with a familiar face. I was trying to think as hard as possible, but in order to do that I would have to calm down, so that's exactly what I did. I tried to control my breathing and think. The gas station! Today at work! He's the guy! They're the guys! The two who looked sketchy and got the candy bars! It's definitely them!

"Oh, you're a smart girl aren't you..." he looked over to read my name tag, "...Megan." He let out a malicious laugh. "You figured it out didn't you? We're the guys from the gas station. You want that Snickers bar? I've been saving it just for you." He gave me the meanest smile I had ever seen in my entire life.

"So," the man began, "here's the thing. We have been single forever and instead of trying to find love out there in this cruel, cruel world, we decided to just kidnap you! You seem like a smart girl, so I am sure you can take this deal and not let us down. So, here's the deal. We will let you free, but anytime we call, you must answer and come over. From now on, you'll be our little toy. We are allowed to do whatever we want to and you can't say a single thing about it. So, what do you say? Do we have a deal?"

The other man looked down at me to see what I would decide.

I shook my head no. That was the worst decision I could've ever made.
