I was now fully aware of my surroundings; well, there wasn't much. I looked around franticly, trying to spot something that could help me escape, anything! It was cold; actually, it was officially freezing. We were in a 7x7x7 room, well freezer actually. I shivered and scooted closer to Jade, who seemed to appreciate it. I remember it as if it were a dream, of a nightmare to be more precise.
It had all started with a show, an act really. Jade and I were the main characters (playing enemies of course) and we had had an after part to celebrate a great performance. We met some people who had been part of the audience, especially one man in particular whose name escapes me. He was medium built, 6', good looking, and in his early twenties. He had offered me and Jade drinks, which we happily accepted. I was surprised when Jade had asked if there was alcohol in them, he said no, she said 'Good'. I thought that she would have been the type to happily accept alcohol, but I guess I was wrong about her.
When we took a sip, it seemed fine. It was lemonade, a beverage of which I will never have again. We chatted and he asked to give us a drive home, we said 'Sure!'. We were two, decently fit young women who could take him on if he went to do us harm, stupid mistake. I felt kind of drowsy, so he buckled me in, he did the same to Jade. You know that felling where you feel drowsy, but not tired? Well, that's how we felt. We could function mentally, but we were too lazy lift our heads.
"I've got to hand it to you two, you make a great team."
"Thanks, it's all Jade, she makes a hell of a bad guy." I could see Jade smile from the corner of my eye.
"Well, I have to admit, I am your biggest fan." Fan? Ok, cool, we had a fan, thing was, we'd only done two other shows together, and one was private, how could we have a fan?
"Well, we are amazing." I gloated. Jade seemed slightly troubled, I didn't bother to ask why.
"Yeah, I can't wait for you guys to stay with me." What? Stay, ok, this dude was a good five years older than me, I was slightly troubled.
"Oh, uh, just got a text from my MOM." Jade emphasised. "She wants me home, are we there yet?" I looked out the window.
"Uh, excuse me, this isn't the right direction." I piped in.
"Yes it is."
"Uh, no, it's not! Our houses are in the other direction." I was getting frightened.
"Not anymore. You guys live with me now." I laughed nervously. He looked serious so I stopped. Jade texted someone: hopefully asking for help. My phone vibrated; I checked my e-mail. We need to get out, now. In ten seconds, unlock to door and jump out, like in an action movie, ok? I nodded. I counted and on ten I went to unlock the door except, there was no lock to UNlock!
"Ladies, that would be very dangerous now wouldn't it be?" I was panicking, Jade's expression changed.
"No matter, we're almost home." We moved from the lonely paved road to a dirt one, it was bumpy. I looked at Jade, I was scared.
"We'll be fine." She mouthed, "I promise." I held her hand instinctively. She tensed, and then held mine too: tracing circles on the top with her thumb, the motion calmed me ever so slightly. We halted in front of a large house with several little buildings. Jade let go of my hand and made another text. I expected my phone to buzz, but it didn't. She then placed a call, but didn't place it to her ear, instead she shoved it us the sleeve of her sweater.
"Home sweet home." She took in a deep breath as if savouring the air. He got out and opened my door, I wanted to run but I was so drowsy, I tried to struggle free from his grasp, but couldn't.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Feisty aren't you?"
"Let go!" Instead, he reached over me and pulled Jade out, she seemed almost limp too. Jade didn't struggle though, she breathed heavily, hate filled her eyes.
I expected him to order us to undress, to bring us in his home, to hurt us, but he didn't. Instead he brought us to one of the small buildings. They scared me because I knew something bad was going to happen in the building. From the corner of my eye I noticed Jade drop her phone, still on, the phone bill would probably end up costing her parents a fortune. Beside the door was a single, gray blanket, a fire blanket actually. He handed it to me.
"When I come in I want to see you sleeping, you'll look pretty sleeping." He opened the door and a rush of cold air rushed out. The inside was frozen. He shoved us in.
"Can't wait for the next show." And with that, he closed the door.
Jade pressed herself against me; we held each other in our arms. The walls were white and covered in frost. A light dangled from the ceiling and brightened the room. The blanket had come in handy, it was small, but squashed together it seemed to cover us sufficiently. I started to cry.
"Shh, don't worry, help will come. Her cold lips pressed against my forehead.
"Shh, it'll be ok, don't worry." I cried anyway, but she continued her soothing words. It'll be ok, it'll be ok… She kissed me over and over: on my forehead, on my eyes, on my cheek.
"Why are you comforting me?" I sniffled. She laughed.
"You're asking me this now?" I started to cry again.
"No no no! Ok, ok, I'll answer!" She took in a deep breath, as if preparing herself for what she was going to say. She brushed the hair out of my face.
"I never hated you Tori, never, I-I, I care about you." She kissed me, this time on my lips.
A.N. Ok, so, yeah. They're in quite the predicament right? Well, don't worry, things will heat up soon. Sorry for the pun. It not going to be too long, unless people want me to continue after the first ending I have planned. Thanks for reading
