7 days.
It's been seven goddamn days since Barry Allen was kidnapped.
Remember his first day? James took him to his...friends? Yeah. He left Barry there all night, even turned the lights off, so Barry couldn't see. For the first 15 minutes Barry tried to stay quiet, but after that he couldn't hold back the pleas. He was in a lot of pain, restrainted, and laying on a cold and hard floor. He started calling out for help. That was until Mike came down (everyone was trying to sleep), punched him, and put the gag in his mouth. After that, Barry was quiet all night. The next morning Mike kissed him goodbye - even if Barry fought against it - and they left with James. They arrived home at 1 PM. That day James taught him the rules, like how to eat, drink, use the bathroom, ask for things, and he also told Barry if he will behave, he will get to come out of the basement. At the end of the day, James cleaned out Barry's wounds, and put bandages on them. Then he restrainted Barry and left him down there to sleep.
Day 2: In the morning, James brought down food and water for Barry. Barry forgot to thank him, so the man shocked him (Barry's collar can do that, remember?). Then he chained him to the ceiling and left him there all day. He only came back in the evening - by the time Barry was crying out in pain - and took him off. Barry collapsed on the floor, and as soon as the man walked out the basement, Barry blacked out, due to the lack of energy.
Day 3: Barry had to tell James about his whole life. He had to tell him about everything, because if James found out he was lying, Barry would be punished, so, he had to tell the truth. He told James about how his mother was killed by a burglar, while everyone thinks it was his father, then he was adopted by Joe West, and became a CSI. It took like an hour until James was finished asking, and left Barry there, only to return an hour later, to feed him. The night went on the same way.
Day 4: Barry messed up. James asked him if Barry loves him, and Barry didn't reply. The man simply strapped Barry down ti the metal table, then...left. He left the room, with Barry tied down in a room, this time without the gag. The man didn't come back that day, but Barry was sure that James would come back the next day.
Day 5: He was wrong. He was so wrong. He waited for James all day, but there was no sign of him. Barry was hungry, thirsty, and he had to pee on the table, since he couldn't get off. Plus, the restraints were way too tight, and they've been on for two days. When the evening came, Barry started panicking. He was just confused and pissed of by the situation, but now he was shaking and tugging harshly at his restraints. He felt like he was going mad from being tied down, at some point he started crying. He didn't sleep that night.
Day 6: James didn't come in the morning, and by the time Barry was shouting to be let go. He was tugging and crying all morning, then James arrived. He took Barry off the table, who fell down. As Barry registered what was happening, he lost his control and started shouting. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" he screamed at James. James was about to feed him, but when he heard it, he threw away the food and drink. He grabbed Barry, and tossed him forcefully to the wall. Barry's back hit the wall, then he fell forward, on his belly. James then started kicking him. It hurt more than the last time to Barry. Barry just held his hands up, to protect his face, but it didn't really work. James beat the crap out him. By the time he was finished, Barry was unconscious. Then he walked out.
Day 7: Barry woke up in the morning with a horrible pain. Every part of his body hurt. And this time, it was way more worse, than the previous one. He was groaning. Then James appeared. He didn't say anything as he chained Barry to the ceiling, where he was once before. He punched Barry a few times, then spoke.
"You know why I'm doing this, right?"
Barry shook his head 'no'.
"This is your punishment. Because you still haven't learned who's the boss here. Now, you will, pet." James said and he simply started walking out the basement.
"Wait...wait, master…" Barry said, but his captor didn't stop.
"Wait, please! L-let me off! Master, please! Please!" he couldn't convince James.
*SAME DAY, 11PM*
Barry had to stay like that all day. He was getting so cold, he was in pain, and he was starving. He had no idea what day it was. He had no idea how long ago was he kidnapped.
Was it days? Weeks? Months? He had no idea. He missed his family so bad. He missed his life so bad. He missed everything. But the chances that someone will finde him were none, James lived in the middle of nowhere and he was in a basement. At this point he started crying. Not the silent sobbing he usually did - he didn't want to piss off James - no, not this time. He cried with his whole heart. He gave every pain - physical and mental - into it. He was pretty sure he won't see his loved ones again, that he won't see the sun rising again. He won't go to work again, he won't go home to sit down with Joe and Iris, have dinner, then watch a great movie. He won't date anyone, he won't get married. He lost his life. Was his situation worse than...what was his name...Cisco, was he in a worse situation than Cisco and the others? He was crying even more. That was it, he couldn't hold it anymore. At that moment, he felt something break. Something important, that couldn't be fixed. Hope? Sanity? Mind? Soul? He didn't know. Maybe all of them. He cried even more.

…
What was that? That noise. Barry wanted to hear it again, so he tried silencing his crying. It's probably James doing something up there...no, it's not...or is it? Barry opened his eyes, looking straight ahead, looking for something in the dark. He heard it again. He started to panic. Did James bring someone down there while Barry was unconscious? What if it was one of James's friends? Guess you could say he didn't like them. His heart was racing faster. Who was that? What was that? He couldn't defend himself, he was helpless. He could now hear his own heart, it was racing like crazy, he started tugging at the chains, trying to do anything...then he saw something, saw something from the corner of his eye...light? Was it light? Yeah, it was...not a strong one, but stong enough to get Barry's attention. Barry turned his head to his left to see where the light was coming from. It was a window...Barry never saw it before, James probably barricaded it. But wait...the window was open? How the hell? The barricade just fell off and the window opened…? No that's...hold on. There was someone in the window. Since Barry was down in the basement, and the basement was technically underground, only the pokey window was visible from outside, plus the house on the top of it, so the person was squatting on the grass outside, peeking in the basement.
"Oh, my God." the person said, with a terrified voice. It was a man, Barry knew it from his voice.
"Hey." the man said, half whispering. Barry didn't know what to say. Was he here to hurt him? or maybe to rescue him? Wait...what if it's one of James's friends again? What the hell is going on? Barry had tears of pain and fear rolling out of his eyes.
The man now sat on the edge of the window, and jumped in the basement. Why the heck was he jumping in? Then he turned around and slowly started walking towards Barry.
Barry started to panic, he was tugging against his chains violently. When the intruder noticed this, he quickened his steps, until he was standing in front of Barry.
"Shh, hey...hey, look at me...hey…" he cupped Barry's face in his hands. That made Barry stop struggling. It wasn't rough, like James did it...it was gentle.
"Imma get you out of here, okay?" Barry started studying the man. He never saw him before. He was just as tall as he was, he had blue eyes, and a short, grey hair. But was he telling the truth? Barry didn't know, he didn't know what to believe or say, but he was still sobbing.
The intruder saw that Barry was terrified, so he gave him a reassuring smile, let go of his face, and started undoing his chains. While he was doing it Barry didn't do or say anything, except sobbing, but when he was done, Barry collapsed to the floor, but the unknown man caught him just in time. He threw Barry's left arm over his shoulder, grabbed it with his own left arm, and embraced Barry with his other arm. He started dragging - since Barry was barely able to take a step - Barry to where he jumped in previously.
"I'm gonna help you out, okay? You go first, so I can help you from behind, alright? I'm gonna make a back for you, so you don't have to pull yourself up, okay?" said the man with a soft tone.
Barry had no idea what was going on, it this all was real, but he nodded shakily.
The intruder did as he said. He held a back for Barry. Barry stepped in it, and gripped the edge of the window, while the man started to push him up. Barry only had to pull himself a little at the end, but he was able to crawl out. When the fresh air hit him, he felt like he was in haven. He didn't stand up, he just laid there on his belly, due to the lack of energy. The man simply pulled himself up, and climbed out the window. When he saw Barry lie there, so broken, he picked him up bridal style, and started jogging. Barry wasn't sure where they were going, but he was still sobbing. The man was jogging with Barry in his hands for like five minutes, when they approached the man's car. He helped Barry sit on the front seat, then he sat behind the wheel, and before he did anything he touched Barry's shoulder and said: "You're safe now, kid."
Then he started driving.
YAY, Barry is safe!...or he isn't? *evil smirk*
Jk, see you later in the next chapter. Please review! I love to hear what you think!
