Chapter2_Let Me Go
Something dropped to the floor and Eleanor woke up with a loud gasp, scaring the person responsible in return. He seemed like the masked man from yesterday and he was no longer carrying her breakfast since the pancakes were scattered around the room.
"What the hell are you doing?" Eleanor groaned, her voice still groggy, and her eyes not fully functioning. The man cursed under his breath and left her alone. And in the middle of her haze, she noticed how he had left the door wide open.
Suddenly her eyes were open and she was on her feet within a moment. She ran to the door, quietly since she was bare feet, and took a look around. The room was apparently in the middle of a hallway and she didn't know if she should've gone to right or left.
But she knew she had to move fast or she'd stay there for God knew how long, so she did move, to the right. She turned back while running down the small hallway and saw no one and went to look ahead but her face hit someone's chest.
She groaned frustrated and punched the man in his stomach and had a quick chance to take a look at him. Jasper's face showed no emotion, like he didn't even feel the swing she put all her strength in, and then he grabbed her arm forcefully and dragged her to the room she was supposed to be in.
He hissed as he was trying to move her along against her weak protests: "How did you get out?" Eleanor didn't exactly respond to his question: "Let me GO!" Jasper pressed down on her arm and she let out a cry uncontrollably but then felt his hand loosen a bit.
Jasper finally pushed her in the room and asked again, louder this time: "How did you get out?" Eleanor pointed to the masked man who had just come back and mocked: "Ask your little bitch." Jasper turned around and gave the man a look and even though she couldn't see his face completely, she knew he was scared to death.
Jasper ordered: "Leave the tray and go. Move it." Eleanor huffed as he put the tray on the table and ran out of the room in a hurry. Jasper closed the door from the inside and started walking towards Eleanor and she started stepping back.
"I thought we had an understanding, Princess…" He whispered low, and as much as she hated to admit, she was scared too. Her legs touched the bed and she had to stop moving and Jasper was just getting closer and closer.
She held her head high and spat the words in his face: "We don't have SHIT." Jasper gave her a smirk and it somehow made her feel weak in the knees, and said: "I'm told to do as I see fit if you don't behave yourself, Princess…"
She raised her hand to slap him but he took it and firmly pulled it down, making Eleanor wince in pain. She bit the inside of her cheek so she wouldn't make any sound but she was sure Jasper could see it clearly. And to her surprise, he quickly let go of her hand, like it burned him.
Eleanor felt sweat forming on her face and wondered when it got so hot in the room. Jasper finally stepped back and she breathed calmly for the first time. He took a look at the pancakes on the floor and chuckled quietly.
Eleanor asked tired: "Can you leave so I can at least eat my fucking pancakes in peace?" Jasper sighed and nodded his head but he said before leaving: "No more trying to escape, got it?" Eleanor kept quiet since she really didn't have an answer and he left without saying anything else.
Eleanor sat on the bed with a groan and hit herself in the head. If only she went to the left, maybe she could've escaped this hellhole. Her stomach growled in time so she didn't blame herself for much longer and started eating.

Eleanor was watching Celebrity News on TV for the last ten minutes, hoping to hear any news about her abduction and how worried her parents were and how the whole England was looking for her but so far, nothing.
She couldn't believe that no one was talking about her being missing, like no one actually cared. But she also knew if her parents knew about this, her mother's first instinct was to not let the public know, but she didn't expect her father to keep quiet as well.
There was a quick knock on the door and she quickly turned the TV off and watched Jasper walk in and the other masked guy behind him. He went to clean the floor that was still filled with pancakes while Jasper walked towards her and sat down on the chair next to hers.
Eleanor turned her face towards the dark screen and heard his voice: "I know what you want to ask me…" Eleanor snorted: "Oh, really?!" Jasper got comfortable on the chair and shrugged before saying: "Like why no one has come to save you already? Or better yet, why no one actually knows that you're gone?"
Eleanor's fingers clutched the handle of the chair and she tried so hard not to lose her temper so she could finally get some answers. She turned her head towards him and saw his raised eyebrows and his mouth half-opened and she gulped.
"Come on, Princess… You know you want to know…" He said quietly and leaned a bit towards her. Eleanor blinked a few times before gathering the strength to ask: "Why?" Jasper took a look behind and nodded at the man and he immediately left.
He leaned back on the chair and started: "For starters, not even the Queen knew you were gone until yesterday. And right now, she's debating whether to tell your father or not. And I'm guessing that'll take a day and after that, they both have to decide if they want the media involved or not…"
Eleanor shut her eyes since she didn't want to hear about this anymore but Jasper went on anyway: "And by the way, your little stunt today, isn't going to happen again. Even if you could make it out of this cabin, there's no way you're gonna get out of the forest surrounding it. I'm just saying…"
Eleanor asked quietly: "How did you know when my mother found out?" And even though he could perfectly hear her, he asked: "What was that?" Eleanor repeated herself, louder this time, and Jasper smirked in response.
He shrugged and said: "It doesn't matter how I know it. I just do." Eleanor rolled her eyes and got up before saying desperately: "Clearly you have to want something. My dad would make sure you'll get it. Just say what you want. Anything."
Jasper's eyes softened for a quick moment, so short that she thought she hallucinated it, and then he said: "We don't want anything from you. Nothing you could give anyway." Eleanor ran a hand through her hair and whined: "There's gotta be something…"
Jasper got up as well and said: "Even if there was, I'm not the one calling the shots, so save your breath." Eleanor grunted and kicked the chair she had sit on a few minutes ago. Jasper frowned and said: "Take it easy, Princess."
Eleanor shouted without any control: "TAKE IT EASY? Are you FUCKING kidding me? You're keeping me here, against my will, and you're telling me to calm down. I swear to you, when I get out of here, and I will, I'll make sure your life would be ruined. I SWEAR."
Jasper stared at her for a moment and then decided to leave the room and lock the door behind him without a word. Eleanor grabbed the TV remote and threw it against the wall with a loud grunt. Her whole body was shaking when she sat down on the chair.
She hadn't cried since she first found out that she was taken hostage but she knew she couldn't hold it back any longer and as soon as she realized that, tears started running down her cheeks. She knew she was crying louder than she ever did, and she knew Jasper could hear her, but she didn't care. She just wanted to get it all out.

Eleanor was curled up in the bed when the same man brought her lunch but she didn't feel the need to get up and eat. She closed her eyes and stayed in bed and tried to imagine she wasn't there. She pictured herself in the palace, with Liam and her dad. Even her mother was in the fantasy, but not Robert.
She couldn't bring herself to think about her dead brother because she knew she would need booze or drugs just to get him out of her head. And thinking about how her brother was taken away from them, she thought about how the family would react to her being gone as well.
Liam would be devastated, she was sure of it. Her father would be broken, again, and just the thought of that was breaking her heart. She didn't know what to expect of her mother, she was going to be sad, but she didn't know how much really. She never believed Helena was capable of love anyway.
And then she thought about the people and their reaction. Will they miss the wild Princess? Or will they be glad they got rid of her and her bad influence? She didn't know which option was going to happen but she honestly thought she couldn't care less.
All she cared about was how long it would take for the Queen to tell her husband that their daughter was missing? How long it was going to take until they figured out where she was? How long until they let her go?
She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice Jasper coming in the room until he called her name. She quickly opened her eyes but made no attempt to get up or even sit. Jasper took a quick glance at the tray which was filled with untouched food and asked: "Aren't you hungry?"
Eleanor shook her head silently and took her eyes off him and looked out the window. She could see him out of the corner of her eye, watching her closely, and felt a shiver running down her spine. He sat down on the edge of the bed and Eleanor turned her head towards him but still said nothing.
He started calmly: "Look, this attitude is not going to help you. If I'm nice to you, it doesn't mean that I won't…" Eleanor interrupted him angrily: "Nice to me? I don't want you to be nice to me! I want you to let me GO!"
Her eyes were shining with rage and she was no longer breathing calmly but Jasper only stared at her which gave her the strength to go on: "I won't tell anyone anything if you let me go now. I swear." Jasper chuckled at the last part and said: "You swear a lot, don't you?"
Eleanor looked at him confused and he explained: "A couple of hours ago you swore you would ruin my life and now you swear you won't tell anyone anything. How am I going to trust you, Princess?" Eleanor finally sat up but she didn't think her action through and she came face to face with Jasper.
Her mouth opened up in a silent gasp and her eyes widened and she was too focused on their closeness that she didn't get to see Jasper's reaction. He only pulled his head away a bit which felt like a slap to her face but she didn't show it. She hoped her voice wouldn't give her away when she said: "But I promise you, now, that I won't do anything. I'll help you, even! Just get me out of here, please…"
Jasper sighed before getting up and said: "Sorry, but you're staying here, Princess…" Eleanor got up as well and went to him and pleaded: "Jasper… please…" He sighed once again and Eleanor knew arguing with him was pointless so she backed away. Jasper looked at her but she turned her back towards him and heard the door get closed a moment later.

"I know you're awake, Princess…" Eleanor heard Jasper's voice but didn't open her eyes. He pushed: "You have to eat something, alright?" Eleanor kept still and heard him sigh and then some movements around the room, the sound of pulling a chair.
Jasper said: "Look, I'm not going anywhere until you eat your dinner. I swear!" He added the last part playfully and it was enough for her to finally open her eyes and glare at him. Jasper chuckled and said: "Tricked you!"
She rolled her eyes and whined: "I'm not hungry. Get out." Jasper's chuckle slowly faded and his face turned more serious when he said: "If you think you're gonna pass out and we're taking you out or something, let me tell you, we have a doctor on call, so you can drop the act."
Eleanor groaned and fought the urge to throw something at him when she said: "I'm not acting. I'm just not hungry. Leave me alone already." Jasper raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you sure?" Eleanor huffed and yelled: "Yeah, I'm sure. Leave. Now."
Jasper got up quietly and grabbed the tray and left the room without saying anything else. Eleanor sighed in regret when she heard him lock the door. She was planning on eating as soon as he left but she didn't know he would leave with the food.
And she was sure he only did that on purpose, to make her call his name and beg for it. She would die before that happened. She got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up so she would feel better but something caught her eye on the table.
Her eyes widened when she recognized two things that accompanied her to the doomed party in Manchester. Her jeweled lighter and one of her joints were sitting comfortably on the table. She marched to them, slowly at first, and then grabbed them in a hurry.
She couldn't believe it. All she wanted these last two days was smoke some weed and forget about everything that was going on. And now she was going to get her wish. Her mind paused for a moment when she thought about Jasper leaving this for her.
Why would he do that? Obviously he knew it would make her happy, but why did he care? She wondered if he felt guilty about not letting her go earlier? Was this some sort of peace offering to her, so she would behave herself?
Eleanor honestly didn't know, and honestly didn't want to think about it, when she could get high instead. So she grabbed the joint and light it up, and as smoke slowly came out of her mouth, she felt like she was home, at least for a little while.
So what did you think?
