I must have fallen asleep at my desk while writing. I have a horrible cramp in my neck from sleeping in such an awkward position but I know that I need to get this out so I'll just ignore it and continue.
"Who the hell are you, who do you think you are! Let me go!" I yelled at the man in front of me who just looked down at me with a patient smile on his face. "You can scream all you want my dear but no one is going to hear you, we are several hundred feet below ground and it is after midnight. So, I suggest you calm down so that I may untie you and dress those cuts on your wrists." He said walking over to me, unhooking my hands, and helping me to stand up.
That was exactly what I had been waiting for. I put all my strength into knocking the man over, I then jumped straight into the water, attempting to swim away but the water was freezing, and the weight of the handcuffs were too heavy and I had no way of paddling my way to the surface. I sank. What felt like an hour passed and just as everything around me started to go black I felt two strong arms wrap around me, haul me to the surface and carry me out of the lake. I must have passed out because I don't remember anything after that.
When I woke up I was laying on the comfiest couch I had ever been on, in front of a roaring fire. I looked up to see the Opera Ghost sitting in a chair across from me, watching me. Then I noticed that I was wrapped in a giant plush blanket and that underneath the blanket I was naked and my now bandaged hands were still cuffed together. . I looked up at the man in front of me, wide eyed. " W-What did you do to me?" He just chuckled and took a sip from the tea cup in front of him before speaking. "Believe me, had I done anything to you, you would know it." I looked down at the ground. "Who are you, why did you bring me here?" He smiled. "My name is Erik, I am the infamous Opera Ghost and I brought you here so that we could discuss a few things, and… get to know each other better." He laughed at the look on my face. "Platonically I mean. If I had meant to hurt you or rape which is what you are thinking I'm sure I would have done it when you were unconscious and completely at my mercy." I sat up a little on the couch, and awkwardly adjusted the blanket so that it was wrapped around me but underneath my arms so that I was free to move my arms, this left my shoulders and neck bare but it was the only way I would be able to freely move my arms. I reached for the tea cup in front of me, taking a sip from it and savoring the feel of the warm tea running down my throat, the water in the lake had truly been freezing. I winced at the pain the movement was bringing to my wrists, Erik….. Must have noticed this because he said "I suppose I can take those cuffs off you now. But, I should warn you that I have lowered the portcullis so even if you dared go back into the lake you wouldn't be able to get out. And believe me even if you managed to find my hidden passage ways that lead out of my home, you would either get lost or you would wonder into one of my many traps and then you would die. So if I were you I would stick around and relax, as long as you are here, anything in my home is yours… except for my organ, no one touches that but me. So, can I take those off you now or will you be dumb enough to try to escape again?" I laid back down thinking, contemplating my options. "Fine, I'll play along…for now but if you try to hurt me, I will fight back." At this Erik stood up, smiling that devilish smile once more, walked over the couch and bent down to unlock the handcuffs but instead of unlocking them he grabbed my arms and pinned them above my head so that they were hanging over the arm of the chair behind me. "I would love for you to try to fight me back, I love a feisty woman." He said placing a soft kiss on my neck just where my shoulder began. I squirmed but he was too strong there was nothing I could do. But, he stopped and finally unlocked the handcuffs, taking them and sitting back down on the couch across from me.
I sat back up, making sure that the blanket stayed up around me. "You said you had things you wanted to discuss, what are they?"
My head is hurting, I need something to eat. I'll continue the rest of this tonight.
