Chapter 3

Danica

As I open my eyes, I immediately close it again. It's so bright. I slowly open them again and the first thing I see is a yellow ceiling. This definitely isn't my room.

Who paints their ceiling yellow?

Moving my hand, I realize they are free and they hurt so much. I immediately sit up and my brain gives me a spin. I hold my head to stabilize myself.

I touch myself and inspect my lower region. I feel no pain or any other thing There. I sigh knowing I haven't been raped.

After a minute I look around. This room is huge and there's almost nothing here except the bed I'm sitting on, the television right in front of it and on my right wall there's a bookshelf filled with books and a wall clock beside it. There's also a table and two chairs.

There are two doors, one to my left and one to my right. I stand up carefully, my legs too weak. I feel tired and hungry.

I sluggishly walk towards the right door first. I push it open and there's a bathroom. I squint my eyes still adjusting to the light. It's size is same as my apartment room but it too has very few things like a washbasin, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a shower and a separated toilet. No mirror.

I enter it barefoot, looking around for an escape. The floor is of tiles. I carefully sit down on and knock.

Nope nothing beneath it.

I walk out of bathroom and go to the another door. It's very different than the one before. First it's made of some kind of metal, not wood and there's no lock on my side. That means it must open from the outside.

I knock on it and then start banging on the door with of my hands but I literally have no energy.

"Let me go! Let me out!" I shout but my voice has no strength. My stomach rumbles and theres ringing in my ears. It happens when I have been hungry for too long. I rub my wrist, trying to calm myself.

"Oh hi! Wakey wakey" the man speaks again. I look at the ceiling. The speakers are placed in the ceiling, they aren't visible. "Finally you gained conscious. I was kinda getting worried about you"

I don't say anything and just glare at the ceiling.

"Why are you glaring Dani?" He says offended.

Oh so there are also hidden cameras.

"Well you must be upset. Food and water is on the table. Eat it and freshen up and then we can chit chat" With the mention of food my stomach grumbles again.

I look at the tray containing food. I gulp. I haven't eaten for almost 2 days. I can rebel now but the ringing in my ear increases. I put both of my hands on my ears.

I decide to eat.

Walking towards the table, I sit on the chair. First I drink water. I open the bottle with shaky hands and start gulping it. I have never felt this grateful for water. There's burger, fries and sauce on the table. I observe them carefully. It can contain anything. Drug or poison.

"It doesn't contain any poison" his smuggish voice comes.

I don't believe a word he says. But if he wanted to kill me, he would have done it by now and he can unconscious me through that gas.

I pick up the burger and open it. Looking for anything suspicious. There is nothing. I carefully take a bite and wait for any affects. I stare at the clock for exactly five minutes. When there's no reaction, I just start stuffing it in my mouth. If it has poison, I might aswell die before getting tortured further.

Once I finish everything on the plate, I exhale heavily. I could cry just now but I don't. I sit there for a while and then I feel the pressure in my bladder. I walk to the bathroom and close the door. It doesn't have any lock. I stop in my tracks.

I look at the ceiling. Does he have cameras here too?

I find the light switch and switch it off. I see the red lights coming from the ceiling. So there are cameras.

"Hey! There are cameras in bathroom too"

"The name is Vesper and I promise you I'm not looking. I'm not a pervert"

"Yeah like I fucking believe you" I say with sarcasm. I stand contemplating while the pressure in my bladder increases. I pick up at toothpaste tube and throw it at the ceiling. It's very high so the tube just touches it and falls on the floor.

I tap my foot rapidly and bite my nails.

"Can you promise not to look in the bathroom? Please" I hate to say please to him but I still do it.

"I promise Dani I won't look. They are only there so that you don't hide here or worse hurt yourself."

I scoff at his caring tone. Why is he acting like he cares about me when he literally kidnapped me and locked me here.

I simply decide to do my business. I will make my plan to escape but first I need to get familiarized. I take a shower in my undergarments. I won't give him any show. Drying myself with the towel hanging behind the door, I wrap it around myself and then take my wet undergarments off. I come outside to see that there's clothes and undergarments on the bed. I pick them up and wear them in the bathroom carefully. It's a simple white t shirt and black trousers.

"Good job" the man, Vesper again says as I sit on the bed. I can sense the smile behind his voice and it irritates me.

But I don't show him my irritation. I need to be calm and think. I take a deep breath and ask him "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Because you are a nice person, very kind and sweet" he replies immediately.

"That's my crime?"

"No Dani. That's what makes you special" I can hear his breathing after he completes his sentence. I have no clue what's going on in his mind.

"I don't understand" I say rubbing my temple.

"That's why am I here. There shouldn't be any secrets between us" he states and instead of crying, I laugh hysterically. He's so crazy. "I'm glad you find me amusing. That's a good thing. Since it's going to be just me and you for a long time" he says viciously and then there's complete silence.
