Excerpt: "Ask me nicely." His sultry voice twists my stomach in the best of ways. "Wha- what do you mean?" I mentally kick myself for allowing his power to rule me. This only builds his ego. He leans forward towards my face, his nose barely touching mine. "What is it that you want, piccola." He whispers. What did I want? Oh! That's right, I wanted to leave. "I would like to leave." I take a step back from him so I can focus.

Long story, short...I was kidnapped. By a man that was so obsessed with me that he murdered my parents just to get me to be his. He is possessive, temperamental, and crazy. Wait no, it's more like delusional, insane, psychotic, ect. Anyway, you get the picture. I'm doomed. There, I think that sums it up nicely. One thing I know that is certain. I will Never Stop Fighting. Who would have thought this would happen and how can I escape?

My heart pounded in my chest as I ran... I ran through the corridors that seemed to stretch endlessly. Blinking back tears that blurred my vision, I desperately sought an escape. If only I could get out and get the cops to help us. My trembling hand opened a large, imposing door, hoping it would lead to safety. But as the door swung open, my legs gave way beneath me and I collapsed to the floor in horror. Before me lay a nightmarish scene, piles of lifeless bodies stacked one atop the other, limbs and body parts strewn around the room in a macabre display. The overpowering stench was suffocating and I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. My mind froze, as I couldn't tear my eyes away from the gruesome bloodbath in front of me. In the next moment, I heard his sinister voice behind me, "caught you," as he amused sending chills down my spine. He effortlessly lifted me in his arms, his hold tight and unyielding. Though I wanted to struggle but my body was still with horror I just witnessed. He walked down the corridor, ordering someone to close the door that I had unwittingly opened, sealing me in this hellish nightmare. Hearing the door close, I snapped back to reality, my entire being trembling with terror. "Don't worry, love, you'll soon get used to it," he said placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. His callous words worsened my trembling... his kiss haunting, a stark reminder of the danger I was in, I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. My heart sank as he reached for the very door of the room, I had escaped from a minute ago. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I urge you to read the story responsibly, as it contains a lot of triggering scenes that many of you might find uncomfortable.
