Falling in Love After Dark
Prologue
The pain through out her body was excruciating. There has never before been a moment that she truly wanted to die. Yet now she desperately craved it. Craved anything that would provide an escape from this torture. She knew thought that there was no escape. She was to be kept alive, for she was bait.
Suddenly she stiffened, her head shooting up and her eyes narrowed at what she knew was the door. It burst open letting in blinding light and illuminating a tall man. She resisted the urge to look away. As scared as she was she would not give this man the satisfaction of seeing it. The door's closing click as he walked in was loud in the silence. The man began to walk toward her and as hard as she could she couldn't stop her heart rate increasing. The worst thing was she knew he could hear it. She felt more than see his feral smile. His hand reached toward her face and she cringed away from him.
The metal wire around her wrist bit further into her skin, sending fresh drops of blood to flow, and reminding her of how trapped she was. His hand cupped her cheek and caressed it as if she were a lover. Her skin crawled and bile rose in her throat before she forced it back down. In a last attempt of courage she spat in her captor's face. The hand that had been caressing her cheek went to her hair and yanked her head back.
"Well, well, well it appears you still have some spirit left in you."
As he had talked the hand holding her hair tightened to the point where her eyes teared up at the pain and through the tears she saw him reach behind him and pull something out. All she saw was a long line of silver, but she knew what it was and as it came closer to her, her final resolved crashed and she screamed.
