"Cough Cough"
Water was abruptly thrown at me. Soaking me completely wet, making me curl my body from the cold. To make it worse I could feel my head splitting from pain, I tried to concentrate on my situation or more towards the bastard that thought waking me up like that was funny.
"Kid you're finally moving. We honestly thought you died on us, really scared us there."
He said while finding it all too amusing. He bent down and made eye contact with me.
"Here have some bread-"
He threw a burnt piece of bread to my feet.
"Would have some water to accompany that, but you had to prefer a shower!"
Laughing at his lame joke he gets up and leaves the room. Leaving me alone here.
Where am I? I try to move my body but it hurts like hell, especially my stomach. If not something broken then for sure bruised badly. Hands tied to my back and feet also tied by ropes.
I give another look at my surroundings. I sigh at my current situation, no need to be a genius to tell I have been kidnapped.
"Fuc- cough* cough* "
My throat hurts and I can hear my stomach grumbling. Seriously how long has it been since I been in such an embarrassing situation!
I close my mind and try to relax. I could feel my migraine decreasing somewhat and memories coming back to me.
I Remember
Damn! ... I remember my last heroic moment before I died and... also the life of this little Gwen.
I close my eyes and take deep breaths to not further panic, it was a lot to take in at the moment. Either my successful tranmigration, my past life, this kidnapping situation, I honestly did not know what was more mindblowing for me right now.
Gwen Novák is from planet Eraklyon that's within the Magic Dimension, located closer to the center giving it quite some political influence over other minor planets. The youngest daughter of the Novák family, a century-old family with the noble rank of Marquess. Gwen and her older brother are both study companions of Eraklyon crown prince since their age are close, of course their mother being sister to Eraklyon Queen played a major part. While visiting the Capital with the prince and her brother she got distracted and separated from them. She easily got tricked to follow someone for sweets, resulting in the current predicament. Unfortunately, Gwen got a fever and no medicine was provided to her, making her perish during the trip from the Capital and wherever forsaken place I'm currently being held! I give my final prayer of thanks to Gwen and promise to take care of her body and keep living.
Ok enough of distractions! The first thing is to leave before my body gets in worse condition making my escape harder.
Currently, they have me held in a storage place for liquor. Throughout the journey, they have kept Gwen in similar places or stuffed in a box. I take a deep breath. I know there can not be mistakes with the next decisions I will take. Once I feel that I am ready and can ignore the pain coming from my injured body I move.
I leaned back and put strength on my feet to kick the box next to me. Making a few liquor glass bottles come crashing down. Ignoring my new scratches I grab a decent size shard and work on releasing my hands than my feet. I hear steps. Only one person.
Once free, with the shard in my hand I automatically position myself below by the door. I knew what needed to happen next from my years of experience, finish him in one blow! Could not risk alerting the rest!
Bang - Door was opened
"What the Fu-" a shard was impeded in his throat aiming upwards towards his head. I had jumped onto him aiming to kill with one blow, but I misjudge this body strength. The shard did not go deep enough, he tried to grab my hand impeding him but I reacted faster and with my left hand grabing support from his shoulder I lift my body and knee his neck pushing the shard further and killing him. He fell to his knees and I grab his body to try to decrease the noise of his fall.
I look down at him and do a quick check on his body for what's useful. I remove his hoodie that had a few blood stains by the neck and put it on and because of my small frame, it covered my whole green dress. From the current situation, this is more appropriate because I had the feeling I was located in slums of somewhere so better to take caution. With the knife I loot from his body I cut his shirt and bandage my hands that were injured from the shard, especially my right hand. I grab the rest of my loot and walk out of the room, while double confirming the few information I have off my kidnappers from Gwen memory.
[ Rest of Loot:
- 1 silver and some copper coins
- Lighter
- Cigarette ]
Around 5min should have passed since the guy walked in the room from my count. I had towards the end of the hallway and hear voices, 3-4 people. I stop at the end and give a quick glance. Looks like the rest of them are here, I might not be able to keep one alive to get information if I want to get out of here alive. I mean I am already outnumbered and I can feel this body limit is near, but that's of course on the premise they know their stuff.
