It was late at night. I could tell since it was dark and gloomy, my hands are tied up with zip ties, along with my legs in a corner of a big room that had a second floor to it. I tried to remember what happened but it all became clear when he emerged from a door at the end of the room. He switches on the light making me squeeze my eyes together since I am not used to the brightness yet. Dakota chuckled and sat on a white bench couch that sat in it's place in the middle of the room. 

"I see the princess is awake?" His voice was husky making it obvious he just woke up himself

"I see the princess is awake?" His voice was husky making it obvious he just woke up himself. I scowl at him refusing to speak to him. He just kidnapped me away from my family and friends and who knows he may even kill me so why should I answer him?

"Ah, I see what you are doing. It's OK ignore me all you want I just thought I'd tell you that all your friends and family think you are OK and that you are on holiday for personal reasons." He smiles at me like he already knew what I was thinking.

"What do you want with me?" My voice wobbles a bit as tears threaten to fall down my face. He sighs and stares out the window before he answers. 

"I-.....I wasn't planning on telling you but I have many things wrong with my head OK? I don't want to tell you the reason I am doing this yet because I think it's best for us both. I also want to apologise in advance for my behaviour and I am warning you if I am in a mood do not try and speak to me to try and calm me down...if that worked then I am pretty sure I wouldn't need to warn you." He clears his throat and looks around in an awkward way before leaving the room.

I sit in silence wondering what exactly was wrong with him. It seems to me that he doesn't want to do this but he has no choice. Curious. 

I remember he left without untying me making me groan in annoyance. The zip ties where already getting on my nerves and I have only been looking at them for a few minutes. This whole situation just makes me confused with my feelings. I feel scared, upset, angry but I also have a weird feeling but I don't know how to explain it. I want to cry but I feel like I have done too much of that already. My future is unpredictable now so I guess...I...roll with..it? 

"Hey psst!" A voice whispers from the door way. I looked over confused on who it was. It was a youngish looking boy, he looked 14 years old. I furrow my eyebrows wondering if this is a relative or another prisoner that was captured by the evil dragon.

He looks at me and raises a finger to his lips before sneaking into the room. I watch him carefully make his way over to me without making a sound.

"Please be quiet until I take you to your room, I don't want you meeting the twins just yet." He says in a serious tone untying the annoying things around my wrists and ankles. Although I do not know who this boy is or if I can trust him, he is my only option on getting information right now so I just do as he says. He covers my mouth with his hand as he peers at the door then looks back at me. "Follow me and do not make a single noise." He releases me helping me stand up at the same time.
