and now...what we've all been waiting for...

CHAPTER 5: In the Dungeon

Trinity's POV

I lost track of the days some time ago. I was at 2 weeks when I stoped counting. I wonder how long until I get my daily beating. God...I remember siting in that car as if it were yesterday...although it feels like years ago.

I'm going to die. That was the first thought that popped into my mind. We've been driving for mere minutes and I was already predicting my doom. Story of my life. When I finally find something good in my life, everything goes to hell. I look out the back window to see Tom chasing the car, running as fast as he can. He sees me, and I mouth to him that I love him.

That was the last time I saw Tom. Dear God, I miss him so much. As I sit here, chained to the wall in this cold dark dungeon with one tiny barred window near the high curved ceiling. Cobwebs and spider webs are everywhere. I'm barely conscious, waiting between rapes and beatings, my only hope is to try to remember my happier times. The memory that comes into my head is my sixth date with Tom.

As we walk along the beach, I am very aware of Tom's hand on my lower back. It's 8 o'clock at night, and we just finished eating the picnic diner that I had made. It's twilight, the reflection of the sky that is now in the water is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I am pulled from my thoughts suddenly when Tom picks me up bridal style and starts running. I shriek from surprise as Tom runs us right into the water. We ended up having a huge splash fight that leaves us cold, wet, and exceedingly happy. We climb out of the water, both of us shivering and laughing as we head to Tom's dad's car. I look at Tom who has suddenly stoped laughing.

"You're freezing" he said with serious concern.

"I'm fine. Don't worry so much" I said softly before reaching up and giving him a kiss.

"No...really. Here," He took off the sweater that he had put on after we got out of the water, "Wear this."

"But then you'll fr-" he cut me off with a kiss.

"If not for yourself, then wear it for me. I would die if anything were to happen to you. I cant explain it. I know I've only known you for just over a week, but I've never felt so connected to anyone before. I know this sounds stupid...but I feel as though I was, I don't know, in love with you in another life time or something."

"That doesn't sound stupid at all. I actually kind of know what your talking about. And fine...give me the sweater." That had to be the most comfortable sweater ever. Plus, it had the added bonus of smelling like him...

I am jerked from my memories by the dungeon door being rammed open, and then slammed shut. As much as I don't want to, I look up to find Mr. Smith standing above me. He has a furious look on his face as he begins to talk.

"You're the same in this life as you were in the last, aren't you, Trinity" Trinity... my alias...what the hell... he keeps talking, "No one ever got away from me as many times as you did. Every single time I thought it was the last. Every time I was sure we had you, but some how you'd slip through our fingers." Through out this whole speech he was walking slowly towards me. By now he was standing not but 3 inches away from me. "I really can't express just how aggravating that can be."

"What are you talking about? What do you want from me?" I sob, near tears.

"Originally you were merely bait, a pawn in our game, but now I think I might enjoy killing you as much as killing him."Somewhere in the back of my mind I can't help thinking that I have heard this speech before... long ago. "I have an apprentice today. An agent in training, if you will. He's here to help with your beating." And in walks someone I hoped to never see again.

"Hey sis." Snarled Simon.

Once again...I'm SO SORRY about the wait. And...Yay...another cliffhanger.

Remember everyone... 1 week tops.
