Author's Note: This is my first story so please take it easy on me. Apologies for the shortness of the first chapters. The following ones will be longer. Hope you enjoy this story's little twist. Disclaimer I don't own Tiger's Curse.
Kelsey's POV
I woke up with a start, not realizing where I was. Suddenly the memories came flooding back to me. Lokesh's men had captured me and had brought me here to an unknown place.
Stupid, I think to myself, for not staying with the others and fighting Lokesh's men off. I sighed when i thought about them.
Where are they now? Were they looking for me? How was Mr. Kadam and Nilma? Were the questions that swirled in my head.
I decide to look around me and take in my surroundings. There wasn't much to take in. I was in a small room with no windows and the walls seemed to be made of metal. There was only one bed, on which I was lying on right now, and an averaged sized bureau. Both the bed and the bureau were at the far side of the room.
On the other side was a door. I got up and went to the door assuming it to be locked but when I tried opening it, it actually opened! Amazed I pushed it cautiously not wanting anybody to see me. The door led to a hallway with various doors . I decided to go to the door at the other end.
I crept, being as silent as I possibly could, to the other door. This door was also surprisingly unlocked. I pushed this door open with a little more caution. It led to a stairwell going upwards. I decided to climb the stairs to see if I could find an escape route, or at least a way to communicate with Kishan or Ren.
As I climbed up the stairwell seemed to get brighter. At the top of the stairwell was another door. This door though had a small window like the kind when someone's locked up. I quickly but quietly peeked through it.
There was a guy standing to the side of the door. I looked around and was surprised to find that I was what look to be inside a castle. I must have been locked up in the dungeon.
Footsteps were suddenly heard and I saw Lokesh coming this way. I turned and quickly and quietly made my way back to the small room.
I inspected the bureau's drawers searching for something, anything that could help. It was old but built to be fancy. It had many drawers with small compartments in them. I found a few small rocks which I put in my pocket.
"It's something," I said to myself. In the second to the last drawer I found there was a piece of wood loose. I grabbed it and was successfully able to get it without getting any splinters. I hid that as best I could in my shirt.
Just in time to as I heard footsteps near the door. I crept onto the bed feigning to be asleep. I heard someone approach me and felt a finger on my cheek. I wanted to cringe but under the circumstances I couldn't.
I must have made some type of movement though for I heard Lokesh say, "She will be waking up soon. Be prepared. We don't know what her reaction might be. As soon as she is awake though tell me immediately." There was a person with him and he only grumbled in response. Then I felt his fingers on my calf; I started to panic as they creeped higher, higher, higher...
Author's Note: Hope you like the first chapter. Sorry if I creeped anyone out at the end. All will go well. Anyway you should probably pay attention to all the characters. Hint, hint.
