Cold. So cold. The first thought that permeated her brain was that of a dull numbness, she slowly became cognizant of her surroundings, taking them in with wary eyes. Blinking while trying to acclimatize to the darkness she gasped slightly as an unfamiliar face came into view.
"Good your awake" said the man. Scooting back and hissing in pain as her ankle came into contact with the hard cement floor she tried unsuccessfully to put as much distance as possible between her and this man who seemed to be appraising her as a bloodstock agent would a prized thoroughbred filly.
"Relax, your safe now, I've given you some pain meds and rewrapped your ankle- I'll give you a few days to heal before you go into the rotation. Your such a pretty thing, the boys were real excited when I brought you in." he finished with a predatory smirk as his eyes roved over her barely covered body.
"Where am I? Where is Daryl? Where are my clothes? What do you want with me" she stated her voice defiant but laced with insecurity.
"Picked you up at the funeral home, thank god it wasn't far from here - had to knock you out sugar- your a feisty little vixen you know that?" he laughed "As for your man - well he was facing down a nice herd. Chased after you a bit, screaming - but your mine now." he finished forcefully as he kissed her roughly, pawing over her body, her modesty covered only with flimsy undergarments. He shoved her away forcefully with a laugh and tossed her a blanket smirking as he left the room. Wrapping the small blanket around her protectively she glanced around the small basement room she realized that she was in. Spying a small window she hobbled to her feet. Her guardian angel must have been smiling on her because it was unlocked. Small as hell and it would be a tight squeeze but she wasn't accepting the alternative. Glancing around she saw a small crowbar, discarded and forgotten. She huddled in her blanket, clutching her crowbar lifeline and waited for the cover of night, praying that she could remember everything Daryl taught her about tracking and evading. She would find him, she had too.
