After the fiasco at the Casino, we followed Chief Firecloud's daughter towards the Sacred Cliffs. I didn't say much when her father decided he was going to go down with his casino. The way a captain would go down with his ship. I understood the feeling and all I could think about was getting back to the kid with the red bandana.
Doc and 10K stayed behind with the Chief's son, as they were formulating a plan to point the zombies in the wrong direction. As we traveled through the wooded area above the desert, we listened to the Chief's daughter relaying the plan to us. She also indicated that it was our own Doc who came up with the plan. After some herbal remedies, of course.
I fell towards the back of the group. The group in front of me rounded a large boulder. I was only a few paces behind but it was enough for me to lose sight of them. I felt a large gloved hand cover my mouth. I was pulled roughly in the opposite direction. I felt a needle being stuck into my neck and my muscles instantly relaxed. My mind becoming black.
When I woke, I was lying on a large bed that was lined with dark purple silk sheets. I tried to move but realized my ankles were cuffed to chains that were attached to the bed posts.
What the fuck.
It was the only thing that came to mind as I looked around the room. It was extravagant, painted in dark royals and black. My neck ached as I turned my head to the side. I vaguely remembered being stuck with a large needle. I greatly missed my dirty jeans and button up. It had been replaced with a baby doll nighty, in a dark silk that made me look like part of the room. There were no clues around me indicating where I was or who I was with. One thing I knew, was that anyone as crazy as this, wouldn't be easily played. I was quickly regretting not offing myself back when I had the choice. Maybe 10K wasn't real and I escaped into an alternate reality. Instead, this had been my life. I heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall. I laid myself back onto the bed and closed my eyes, keeping my breathing steady and to a minimum.
The large door swung open and I heard someone walk in.
"She's still asleep. Are you sure you fools didn't overdose her?" A women's voice asked. Her voice reminded me of Cruella De Vil.
"No Mam. It was just enough. She's just malnourished, it takes longer for the drug to fade." A man's voice replied.
"She's exactly what I've been looking for. Please, tell your men that this one isn't only for fun. I'm staking my claim to her as of right now." The bed sunk to my left and I could feel her sitting next to me.
I kept my breathing still as she touched my arms and hair. "Actually, tell your men, hands off."
This was all she said before I heard her heels exit the room, followed by the man. The door slammed and I opened my eyes once again. I knew I had to do something. I needed to get out of this place. Who knew what she wanted me for. I have no weapons and my ankles are dead bolted to this bed. The only option I had was to play along and find out what it was she wanted.
