Hi there. I decided not to put this off any longer. Thank you so much to those of you who reviewed and/or added this to your alerts or favorites, that makes me very happy! Anyway, it's short but I just couldn't think of anything else to add for this chapter. So yep R&R and enjoy!
Chapter 4
In a basement (present time)-
Ziva's eyes fluttered open but all she saw was darkness around her. She tried to move but gasped when a sharp pain shot down her back. Where am I?, she thought. She vaguely recalled being taken from her apartment but nothing after Chazan struck her. Chazan, the name echoed over and over in her head. "What does he want?" she whispered.
Suddenly, Ziva heard the shuffling of feet above her. The noise started to fade away and then it was silent again. Once more, she attempted to free herself of whatever bound her to the metal chair she sat on but the pain in her back was overwhelming. She stopped and sighed, struggling would not help.
A door slammed open above her and the creaking of worn steps could be heard as a large, dark figure moved down them. I must be in a basement.., thought Ziva as the figure, probably Chazan, stalked towards her.
She didn't say anything when he delivered a crushing blow to the side of her face. Chazan continued to abuse her, determined to make her beg or at least ask him what his intentions were.
He had knocked her on her side now and she was breathing heavily, trying to stay conscious. Chazan's thick boot made contact with her already bruised ribcage, finally causing Ziva to cry out. Chazan merely chuckled and turned away, ascending the steps and slamming the basement door shut, bathing the room in darkness once more.
Ziva lay still, holding back the tears that threatened to spill over. She didn't try to move, incase doing so would just injure her further. Slowly, as the pain decreased, sleep took over and Ziva succumbed to a painful slumber while her warm, dark blood seeped onto the floor and new bruises started to form, mentally and physically.
