Just as she was becoming steady, he picked her up and began to carry her somewhere.Just as she was becoming steady, he picked her up and began to carry her somewhere. "Where are you taking me?" "To your new home, Jennifer." He laughed. After a few seconds he stopped and she could hear the other man nearby fumbling with keys. She heard the soft click of a lock then the sound of a door opening and felt herself being carried through it. He crossed a long floor then began climbing stairs. He stopped and she heard the other man open another door for him and she was carried through this one as well. He set her down just after entering the room and she felt his hands on her wrists as he untied them. Jen's sigh of relief was cut off as he raised her left arm and tied it to something then did the same with her right. He knelt and untied her ankles next then retied them as well. Jen tried to move but it appeared that she had been tied spread eagled in a standing position. He stood and removed her blindfold. Jen blinked rapidly as the bright light hurt her eyes. They adjusted quickly, though, and she saw that room she was in was lit entirely by candlelight. She looked around dazedly. She was tied between two floor to ceiling columms. In front of her on the wall was full length mirror in which she could see herself and a large brass bed with railings behind her. A large maple cabinet with several doors stood next to the mirror. To her left was an open glass door with a balcony beyond which was, unfortunetly, above ground. A cool breeze floated in making her shiver and raising goosebumbs on her pale skin. To her right was a marble bathtub that was almost the size of a swimming pool. Her inspection was interrupted by the sound of laughing. She strained to see the men but they were standing just out of sight in the mirror. "Bye, Jen.", they said together. "No, please, don't leave me here. I promise not to tell anyone if you let me go. Please.", she begged. Her only response was the sound of the door closing and then silence. Jen hung by her arms in despair. Her wrists ached from being tied so long and her mind was spinning with all that had happened to her in the last couple of hours. Why?, she thought. Why me? Please let this be a dream. Let me wake up in my bed in my own home with no one there. |
