Chapter 2

The van shuddered to a halt, I heard the front doors slam closed, quickly I shuffled away from the back doors and threw myself into a corner remaining still. The back doors slid open, out of the corner of my eye I saw two figures against the early morning light but couldn't make out any details. One of them grabbed my feet and tied them together with some rope. I shut my eyes hoping for the best as the second figure pulled me out of the van and propped me against a boulder. While they were turned away I gave a quick survey of the surrounding area, it looked like I was in a desert, just ahead where the tyre tracks stopped at a gate loomed what looked like a small volcano, furhter than that was a small caravan. I closed my eyes again as one of the figures knelt down to my side, he then pulled a cloth over my mouth and tied it tightly. At that I tried to struggle against who I saw to be a hulking figure of a man. With little effort he stooped down and slung me over his shoulder, ignoring my protest.

I was carried away from the van and beyond the gate and started walking to the caravan. Giving up struggling I properly took in my surroundings, a faint plume of steam rose from the small volcano, floating up beyond my vision. Soon the man had reached the caravan, I tried shouting for help but the cloth muffled my voice. The man kicked the door open, I then realised that the caravan had been abandoned for some time. Belongings were scattered around the place. I was dropped on a sofa bed carelessly. The man walked over to a storage cupboard and threw it open, seemingly satisfied he cam back for me and scooped me in his arms, and carried me towards the cupboard.

I'd had enough, rolloing out of his arms I fell to the floor, then I brought back my legs and kicked him in the gut. As he fell I did the same to his head, sendidng him sprawling the the floor, then I slipped my feet through the ropes binding my ankles. Using the wall to my back as a support I raised myself to my feet. I walked over to a radiator and began rubbing the ropes on my wrists up and down, sawing through them. Soon the ropes slipped off my wrists and I pulled the cloth down from my mouth. I ran for the door and swung it open, then found myself face to face with the second man. I took several steps back, right into the hulking giant who had recovered by now. He wrapped his arms round mine, restraining me, the second man tied my wrists again. He then stooped down and began to tie my feet, I responded by swinging my foot into his face. He ignored this and secured the rope. The large man lifted me up and dropped me in the cupboard!

'Hey!' I yelled. He knelt down and raised the gag over my mouth again. I swore from behind it. The man then looped rope round my arms binding them to my sides. I couldn't do anything, only watch as he tightened the knot, got up and watch as the cupboard door closed and the dark closed in on me.
