I began to come too, my head throbbing, my mouth dry. My eyes began to open slowly, I had currently blurred vision, but my head was titled down. I lifted my head up slowly, as my neck had cramped up. I've must been in this position for awhile. Once my neck was straight and my head was up, I could see that I was in a substation of some kind. But I blinked a few times, to clear the blur from my vision.

My vision began to clear as I turn my head to look around. I become more aware of my surroundings and what was going on. I had notice that it was now night time, meaning I've been asleep for awhile. I was also restrained, I was tied to the metal fence within a room. Cable of wire had been tied around me, my hands were also tied together and I felt duct tape over my mouth, restraining myself from speaking.

I wiggle myself against my restraints, but I was too weak from whatever he had gave me, probably a local anaesthetic, but it was strong. I struggled against the restraints for a few more moments but I had given up as my strength wasn't at the fullest and I was weak. Footsteps echoed through the building, as I shot my head to a archway at the other end of the room.  

Barrow had emerged, his eyes staring at me as he came closer. He wore a glow on his left hand, like he was going to handle something electrical. He had closed in, and stood in front of me, looking down at me. I kept strong as I've been in situations like these before so it wasn't anything knew, plus I highly doubt he knows I'm a vampire...

"Such a pretty girl," he states, as he crouches down, to get to my level. "I bet your wondering why you're here? Well I can tell you, you're in for a shocking surprise," he cracks a laugh to himself as it was a mental one. But I stare at him with no emotion, as his laughter came to an end. "Not very talkative?" I just squinted my eyes at him, as they held a death glare. But without any warning, he had gotten the edge of the tape on my mouth and pulled with one quick slash. Pulling the duct tape off from my mouth. 

I bite my bottom lip, stopping myself from groaning as that hurt like hell, but I kept up the tough girl act. "Do that again, you'll have no hands," I state to him with a very convincing look. He just cocks an eyebrow up for a moment, as his hand reaches out to stroke my cheek, I turn away but I could still feel his hand rub against. "What do you want with me?" I ask as his hand began to slowly recline back, as my head turned back to face him.

"Chaos," he replied bluntly and held no emotion. He was sure one lose screw. He stood back up and began to walk away, as I had no clue what he meant by the single word. I struggled against the restraints as he had gone through the archway to somewhere else. 

I struggled some more, but the more I struggled the more I felt weak and drained. I stopped and just sat there, tied to the fence and waited for Barrow to come back. I become more aware, and I came back to myself. I closed my eyes, and began to focus, listening in throughout the substation. All I could pick up was electricity buzzing and crackling, so it was hard to pick up on anything else. But as I thought all hope was lost, I had heard heavy breathing, but it was Barrow. I picked up bits and pieces of what he was talking about, but then Kira's voice came to ear. Then my hearing was drowned out with the electricity sounds. 

I reopen my eyes, to see that the lights in the room began to flicker, like something big was gonna happen. Within moments, they flicker more angrily, and in seconds they blow, and a console near by had spat off electricity. I turned away from the flickering electricity, but once suddenly the substation had went dark, meaning it overloaded. 

"Help!" I scream at the top of my lungs, as I wiggled at the restraints. "Help!" I yelled again, I could hear my voice echo through the building. I focused in on heavy footsteps, running through the hallways. Just then, I cock my gaze to the archway to see the one person I wanted to see right now and that was Scott McCall, coming to the rescue. His eyes widened in shock and horror as he runs at me.
