In the beginning I had nothing

Chapter 1

I woke up in a normal sized room which had some barrels and shelves in it and a large window.

I tried to remember the last thing I could, but all I was getting was me going about my day and nothingness. But when I say normal day, I mean walking back to the work place from Costa coffee with coffee for me and my workmates.

I tried to figure out why anyone would want to kidnap me but the only thing that came to mind is that in my line of work, is that you work closely with the government and that must have been why I was in some weird place that smelt damp.

I tried to look out of the large window but all I could see was darkness and my reflection.

I looked at myself, my small features and deep brown short hair and brown eyes that looked back blankly, then I noticed I had blood on the left side of my head, it was dry and crusty in my hair and fore head and it had collected in my old scar on the left side of my face above my eyebrow.

Before I thought about it I tried to tidy myself up, my clothes and make up were ok, but everything else wasn't.

I tried not to think about why I looked so beaten up and went over to the door behind me and tried to open it. I don't know what I wanted... it's not like my kidnapper would leave the door unlocked or anything.

Then the panic started, I was trapped in some place and I didn't know who by or why... or even where I was.

The door suddenly opened and two men walked it they were speaking... Spanish?! Where am I? They closed the door and one came over to me and said something "¡Solo permanece calmado!" I did understand but if they didn't know that by listening to them I could learn important information. They left quickly, it seemed they left the door open unlocked.

The room became strangely familiar as my memory cleared and I gathered my wits I was in the store room of the church, then paused, "How did I know that?!".

I went over to the door and peaked out carefully... "No one around! ...Bingo!" I thought, I was going to make a run for it, but there were iron gates in the way... "More to the point where am I going to go?" I was stuck, though I didn't like it I was. I went back in to the room and pondered what I could do...

Later that day they all came to the church, at first, I wasn't scared... But then I realised that they were real and could hurt me and they were holding me captive, but why had they mistaken me and if they had, what will they do once the realise that I am not important, will they just kill me?

I listened to what they were saying, they talked about a government agent, they said that he had just got there and they were going to wait in the two paths and kill him. "But who sent the agent?" "Where they coming to save me?" The questions to keep mounding up in to a pile of questions with no answers and no one to answer them anyway.

I heard a noise from below the window, it did have lots of holes so sounds kept coming in like rustling leaves and grass, but this sounded like someone walking and using a contraption of sorts.

I looked down to see what was below, I saw a tall quite muscular man with medium brown hair and a gun, he was using device that had turning hands like clock.

I felt like yelling out in joy someone else, but I didn't want to draw attention, so I got a piece of paper and wrote "I am in this room up here I can't get out, I hope you haven't had too much of a beating and can help me... Because I can help you. - Morgaine".

I sent it flying down to him, he almost missed it had my heart sunk just as he stepped on it he noticed bent down and picked it up to read it.

He then looked up, I was waving at him through one of the gaps I looked down to see he waved back, I sent down some string and a pen through a gap, he wrote on it and I pulled it up.

The note read: "I hope you're not too hurt, the chief said you did take a bump on the head. I will try to get to you as soon as I can. - Leon"

He walked off in to the darkness, on a mission to get me out, out of this god forsaken room... And... Well, Island that's if it is an island.

I fell asleep, I am not sure how long for, when I woke up it was getting even darker, but not much, my thoughts were with the man I hoped he was okay... I mean he was human like me no first aid spray would make you grow back an arm.

All I could do was wait, I had never really felt this worried, confused and strangely calm for such a bad situation, but my thoughts were so restless going back and forth like ball in a pin ball machine.

Just as I thought this the door behind me opened, standing there was Leon, he looked pleased at first and then I turned my head to face him and he saw the blood.

His expression changed to a look of concern and worry, "I am okay, it looks worse than it is, I am sure." He rushed over and took a closer look, and moved back as if he were disgusted and shocked.

He looked in to me eyes and said "let's get out of here. It's a miracle you've made it this far with your head in that mess... I mean it's a miracle your alive. Did they give you anything?... Like a drug?".

"No, why?" I said, swaying from one foot to the other, he inhaled, "Well, you should really be dead with a wound like that."

"Well, thanks... I will go and die then!" I said before I realised that it was coming out, I couldn't think straight... "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap... I just..." Leon interrupted me, "it's ok, your heads gotta be scrambled."

"Can you walk?" He asked, "Yeah. I think I can.".

We went it to the main area of the church and made our way out of the doors, we then made our way through the cemetery and down the ladder though a door.

A man who was wearing a long purple trench coat turned to face us, he opened his jacket enthusiastically, I turned away at first as it seemed as he was only wearing that coat, but he had lots of guns and other things that sparked my interest instead.

I had my own money so I asked how much a handgun was, he replied "20,000." I agreed and handed over the money to him, now with a hand gun I felt I could look after myself and Leon, just so it wasn't all on him.

Leon looked at me disapprovingly and said, "Do you know how to use it?" "Yeah." "Okay, do you not mind losing your innocence by killing?" I looked at him a moment, taken aback by how blunt the delivery was, I knew what he meant but I was thinking about it. Until I replied, "No. But if I have to then it's part of surviving."

He looked concerned but nodded at me, as if to show that he had accepted my answer.

He then turned to me once more, "Name's Leon." I made eye contact for a second and looked away again, "Oh, I am Morgaine... Pronounced as in more to gain." I said laughing nervously, and looking at the trench coat guy.

Leon chuckled and said, "That's one of the weirdest introductions I have ever heard." I just smiled, not really knowing how to hold myself in this situation.

We walked through the tunnels to the ladder with a trap door, it seemed to take us long enough to reach it.

I began to get nervous as we went through the door, it was big and heavy looking like they really wanted to keep people out, or in.

The village was eerily quiet and still, no people running around making noise or tending to the livestock, just nothing but the cows breathing and the chickens walking around, we looked at each other as if to say, "It's too quiet."

We went up the path on the right-hand side, the side with a tower on the right and a house on the left, we kept going till we got to the door, as he pulled the door open, he looked at me and said, "Stay sharp, you never know what's around the corner." Those words ran through my mind, they still do.

We walked carefully in to the village, to find it's the same, no one around, I began to think what if they are planning something... Like an attack on us or something like that.
