Helpless

I scream and shout, twisting and turning in my bonds as I fight to break free. My blood runs cold as I hear her screams and I redouble my efforts; straining with all of my might.

They've taken her from me. Right now they're up there torturing her, for the fun of it as much as for information and there is nothing that I can do.

It should be me. Why couldn't they have taken me?

Icy cold terror grips my heart, holding me captive as surely as the cords that bind me.

I'm helpless to do anything but listen.
