Chapter 43: Where Am I?

I hoped that what had happened earlier had been a nightmare. I slowly opened my eyes; when I saw that I wasn’t in my bed at the mansion, I knew that it had to be real.

I felt rope tied around my wrists and ankles and could feel the coolness of the metal from the chair. There was even a piece of cloth covering my mouth. I felt the urge to scream but knew it was pointless. Nobody would be able to hear my cries for help.

This was the worst possible situation I could’ve been in. I never imagined that this scenario would happen to me. How had I gotten caught up in this?

Maybe I shouldn’t have been so careless earlier. I wished I wouldn’t have been walking in that shady area. I knew better than that, but it was too late to blame myself for what had already gone down.

I tried to get a sense of where I was by looking around the room. I didn’t want to lose all of my hope for getting out of here.
