Chapter Three

When I wake up, I have no idea where I am. The room I am in is small and painted white, a clear chandalier hanging from the ceiling. I am tied up to a chair in the middle of the room. The door isn't too far away, but I am tied up with thick rope that would be hard to break.

I try to move, but as soon as I do, I feel a sharp stinging pain in my arm. I looked down. There is a large cut that goes from my elbow to my shoulder. What happened here? I thought to myself.

I never noticed it before, but there is a camera in the far left corner of the room, monitoring me. Where in the hell am I?

I need to get out of these ropes and find Tobias. I think if I hurl my body forward enough, maybe I could get untied. It was worth a shot.

I tried to ignore the stinging pain in my arm as I pushed my body forward. It just made it worse. I screamed in agony.

All of a sudden, the large metal door opened, and standing there in the doorway, was Jeanine Matthews. I should've known.

"Oh, why hello Beatrice."

The tone of her voice was the most irritating thing about her.

"I don't see why you would put up the struggle. If you want out, all you have to do is ask."

"Jeanine, let me out!" I screamed.

"Fine." She snapped her fingers and two guards dressed in white walked over to the chair and untied me. They grabbed my arms and made me stand up.

"So Beatrice, would you like to take a little field trip? I have something quite interesting to show you."

"Jeanine, what's the point of this? If you're going to kill me, then just get it over with." I said angrily.

"Oh, trust me, the time for your exacution will come soon enough."

So she was going to kill me. I don't even know why I questioned the idea.

"Jeanine, where is Tobias? What have you done with him?"

She ignored my question.

"Well Beatrice, are you ready for that field trip now?"

I looked up at the chandilier, then got an idea.

"No, Jeanine, I don't think I am."

I turned around and kicked both of the guards in the stomach, making them release my fell on the ground, cringing.

I grabbed the chair and threw it at the chandilier, and it broke, shards of glass falling everywhere.

I grabbed a sharp piece of glass and ran at Jeanine. She tried to push me back, but I stabbed her in the arm. "Ahh!"

I started running. I didn't know the way around the compound, so I ran into the first room I could find. It seemed to be the security room, where they were monitoring me.

I saw a man standing in front of the screen looking at the room I was just in. He turned around, and my stomach dropped.

"Tobias."
