CHAPTER 1: Unvigilant

Chloe lay on a bed faced on her side of her cheek, with the soft comfortable covers over her body. She woke up from the bright illuminated room. She tried slowly getting up but she felt a sudden jolt of pain running through her head and felt nauseous. (What happened to me?) Still lying down, her body felt paralyzed but she was still able to lift her head up high. She looked around the large luxurious room; the room was very balanced, and immaculate. (Where am I?)

She looked at the big opened window on the opposite side of the bed. It was so blinding that she had to squint. There lays a black shadow, seated on a chair next to a rounded table.

He answered, "Oh, you are awake." There was an accent in his voice. There were papers rustling as the shadow figure stood up and came closer towards her.

Chloe faltered a little, "Where am I?" she asked. Chloe raised one of her hands over her forehead to block the light and squinted more to see this figure more clearly.

The shadow responded, "You are safe now, do not worry." The shadow leaned to analyze her.

She knows at this point she has been abducted so how can she stay calm.

Finally her vision came back, she sees a man in a black tuxedo, tall and slim, young and fatigue, his shiny silky hair was combed back as it is wavy upfront, he had deep blue eyes, and had a freshly shaven stubble chin. Chloe was surprised who was in front of her; this man was Talbot.

Nathan warned her about this perplexing man. (Wait, did he just-?)

She questioned herself, "What did you do to me?"

Talbot greeted at her and put his hands together, "Now let's not worry about that. You are now considered a guest to us. I am responsible to be your host." Chloe stared at him confusingly. Considering this was the first meet, he gestured politely, "Well excuse me for my manners, but I have not introduced myself," he held out his hand willing to shake her hand, "my name is Talbot. Your name is Chloe Frazer are you not?"

Chloe stared speechlessly. She knew not to trust this man so she chose not to but did answer, "Yes I am."

Talbot felt embarrassed by her negation, "I suppose Nathan told you about me, but I bet it wasn't pleasant information." He changed the subject, "Well good," he gestured his hand around the room, "please make yourself at home. There are refreshments and food on the table," he paused at looked at the clock on the wall above them, "well I have to get going." Talbot drawn the papers from the table and put them into a small suitcase.

Chloe studied him as he rushed out, "Wait, I am not," she got interrupted by him, "please no time. I will explain later."

He opened the door, "although I have to warn you, there is no way out of here," he peeked his head out, "if you try to persist that is." He shut the door hearing two to three clicks at the end.

Chloe was puzzled. (What do they want from me?) She still felt dizzy but she was too enervated to get up. (What now?) Chloe felt guilty for being caught so easily but this man, this Talbot that Nathan mentioned to her, means real business. (There is nothing to do but wait.) Chloe felt tired and decided to sleep in until the next day.

Basically Talbot drugged her and took her hostage in Marlowe's headquarters.

Project to make artwork based off these scenes/these mini stories. Sorry for my horrible grammar, I am more visual than words but I hope you like it so far. There are more art scenes to come. Thanks for reading! Chapter 2 coming soon…
