Name: Tira
Age: 17
Appearance: Long black hair with hot pink streaks and dark blue eyes.
"Kim I'm out of chocolate!" I called to Kim, my roommate, from my bedroom. I had been zoning out until I realized the absence of taste in my mouth. Such a fearful situation this was!
"Yeah and?" Kim's muffled voice sounded mocking and my deprived mouth suddenly went dry. She couldn't possibly be in a bad mood again.
"Go and get some for me." I whined. My legs were jelly and I couldn't bring myself to go and buy more chocolate bars. Besides, my bed was much too comfy.
Unfortunately, as soon as my words left my mouth, Kim flew into a rant, which, if I listened to correctly, mentioned many times how that if I was too lazy to go get chocolate bars, then Kim wouldn't bother to get some for me. After a few more tyrants about my demanding personality, I found myself quickly on to the crisp and empty streets of Japan. It wasn't so bad, I suppose, to do something for you instead of having to boss Kim around to do it for me.
The store I was heading to was a nice small candy story with few costumers and great chocolate. Smiling at the thought of finally buying my desired items, I took no notice of the creepy black van that pulled up softly next to me.
"Are you Sayu Yagami?"A deep voice asked from behind of me, startling me. I tried to turn around to see the face of the person who addressed me, but I realized that the person wore a mask to cover their face.
Not recognizing the name or the voice, I slowly, apprehensively, began to turn around, hoping to catch the guy's face, "No I'm-"
I had no chance to, however, as something quickly covered my mouth and noise. Before I knew it, I smelt something foul and my eyes began to sink until I was no longer aware of anything. The world had faded to black.
When I came to, I was lying on a cold and hard floor. I groaned as my eyes opened, or tried to open, as a blindfold covered them.
'I should have never let Kim force me to get my own chocolate.' I thought to myself warily. Now, if only I knew where I was.
"Well, look who's finally up." A masculine voice drawled.
I searched blindly, hoping the owner of the voice would speak once more, so that I could pinpoint their whereabouts. They must have been closer than I thought because my nose picked up the faint smell of sweet, sweet chocolate. I couldn't help but let my mouth water.
"Sayu, we have taken you hostage you so we can get the Notebook."
"A noffbok?" I garbled and gagged, trying to talk around the gag in my mouth. Then a thought came to me, why anyone would go to the extremes for a notebook? Why wouldn't they just buy another one?
"What?" The voice came again, pissed, "Oh right." The person came closer to me, and placed their hand on the side of my face, over the gag, "Just promise me you won't scream," As the person leaned closer, I realized two things, they were definitely male and their smell was overwhelming. Chocolate, and of the finest kind, I quickly began to drift back to the chocolate which waited at that beautiful store.
It wasn't until my mouth was empty and my nostrils free of the delicious scent that I realized that I could speak and, surprisingly, see. "Hate to break it to you, but I think you have the wrong person." I said smiling at the person in front of me, however, I couldn't make out their features; my eyes weren't completely free of the effects of the blindfold.
The guy I scoffed and took a bite out of his chocolate bar, "As if I haven't heard that before,"
"My name isn't Saya or whatever the guys who kidnapped me said. It's Tira."
"Yeah right."
I lifted my head to give this guy my famous death stare, how dare he scoff at my awesomeness! I got a good look at his face since he was standing in front of a window. The boy had long blond hair, which was styled in a girly way, and piercing blue eyes. My eyes soon shifted to the rest of his body, before I went too far, I noticed his hand. I felt my eyes widen and lock on the chocolate bar clutched in his hand.
"Hey!"
I snapped out of my trance when he waved his hand in front of my face.
"What do you want?"
The blonde scowled, "You said that your name was Tira and I don't believe you."
It was my turn to scowl, "Do you think that I go around, giving people fake names?"
I lay there on the ground waiting for him to answer my question. However, when he did nothing but scowl at me, I took this as a chance to speak,"Well since you made a mistake I would like to be untied. I've got places to be and chocolate to get."
As soon as the words left my confident mouth, his scowl turned into a laugh, "Do you honestly think I'm just going to let you go?" He took an amused bite of his chocolate bar, "Just like that?"
I opened my mouth to say something, but I shut it closed again. Saying something smart won't get me anywhere. With one last laugh, the blond turned and left out of a strong metal door. The loud sound echoed throughout the large basement-like room. I was alone again.
An idea popped into my head after lying there for half an hour (or what I think was half an hour). I had almost forgotten about the small knife I always keep in my back pants pocket. Determined, I began twisting and turning for five minutes, until the knife fell on the floor with a loud clank. I quickly looked at the door just in case anyone heard that. When no one came to the door, I excitedly turned back to my small victory.
I stared at the knife wondering what to do next. Finally an idea formed in my head. I leaned on the floor and gripped the handle of the knife with my mouth. The gross taste of the handle almost made me drop it instantly. Once I was sure the knife was secure in my mouth, I sat up and dropped the knife in my hands. Carefully and slowly I moved my hands so that the knife was under the ropes and began to cut through them. After some careful manoeuvring I cut completely through the ropes restraining my hands. I rubbed my sore wrists and made sure to leave the ropes on my feet tied. I didn't want to untie them, start to walk around and have someone walk in and see me. I'm not that stupid enough to do something as reckless as that.
Bored, I went through my pockets to see what I had in them, hopefully something entertaining was in there. After a few seconds I had success! I had found 2 bars of chocolate, my DS, my PSP, and the charger for my DS. Looks like I could have saved all my trouble if I had checked my pockets sooner.
I decided to look around and get familiar with my surroundings. Using the dim light of my DS I saw a chair, a door, a very small window. Quickly, I looked for the most important thing in the room, an outlet. Once I had found it, I hopped plugged in my DS. I wiped fake sweat as I saw the red light on my DS stop its flashing. I leaned against the wall and tried to get comfortable. I put my chocolate bar in my mouth and turned the volume up, one of the most exciting things about Mario Kart was the sound effects after all!
It was long after a few hours that I felt my eyes start to close, Mario Kart forgotten on my lap.
Before I fell asleep one thought remained in my head,' Hmmm. This may not be home, but at least I've got my game. Maybe I could ask that blond guy tomorrow for some more chocolate and a charger for my PSP...'
However, I doubted he would be that kind. After a small amused snort, I finally fell asleep against the wall.
