THE PLAYGROUND

CHAPTER FIVE

  Alexa woke up feeling as disoriented as ever, she looked around and realized that the surrounding wasn't familiar. She tried to get up but she was chained to the bed.
   She tried to remember how she got there but with no luck. She was still trying to gather her thoughts when someone appeared at the doorframe.

"Enjoy your little nap?, I heard you put up quite a fight. You're a feisty little lady aren't you?"

"Who are you, and what do you want with me?"

"You have something that belongs to my mistress, and she wants it back" the person said firmly. Alexa wanted to say something when she heard a voice in the background.

"Mistress said not to talk to the prisoner" the voice was a little faint. Kinda like a little old man that had been crying. Then the figure walked into the room and it was a little humanoid figure with no hair, huge ears and eyes. Like an ugly version of one of the seven dwarves.

"What the hell are you supposed to be?"

"Morty. Morty's an elf. Morty don't want to talk to you because Morty don't want trouble."

"Don't pay attention to the stupid elf, he's a coward. The name's zeta by the way." she said then she walked in. She was pretty huge for a woman and she kinda looked scary with her shoulder length black hair, deep grey eyes and a snake tattoo on her arm. "I like to get to know to the prisoners before I kill them. Now, tell me bout urself"
Alexa stared at her for a while before slowly turning to Morty. "Morty, right?, I'm Alexa"

"Oh Morty knows. Morty knows all about Alexa."

"What do you mean?"

"Morty can't say, Morty has already said too much." Before Morty could say anything else, someone else walked into the room and she recognized him. It was the man who was at their house earlier.

"You!, What did you do to my brother?"

The man didn't respond, he just growled at her like he did before. She wanted to scream at him again but zeta stopped her.

"He can't speak no more!. Punishment for talking when he wasn't supposed to." she said, with a cold smile on her scary face.

"What happened to my brother?" Alexa asked again.

"Oh we didn't need your brother, he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time, that's all."

"Wrong place?, he was at his own house, how is that a wrong place?"

"Oh well then he was at the right place at the wrong time"she said simply.

"So where is he now?" She asked with obvious concern.

"He's fine, probably at home or in the hospital, but anyway he's fine." She said casually. "Now, let's talk about your punishment for stealing from my gracious mistress." She added and grinned deviously.

"WHAT HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
David beamed with rage, when the cops said they couldn't find Alexa. "My little sister has been missing for almost twenty four hours and you still can't find her?"

"Sir, calm down"

"Calm down!, for all we know she could be hurt somewhere out there in the dark and you're telling me to calm down, I can't calm down!"
